It was my twelfth birthday. Thanks to my over-active imagination, I had convinced myself that my mom was going to get me a new skateboard. I could not contain my excitement. I really needed a new skateboard, and not because I was bored with my old one. My old skateboard was falling apart.

Upon waking up, I ran straight to my mom and asked her to give me my gift. She responded by telling me that I would have to wait until after I got home from school. She went on to say that if she told me what the gift was I would not be able to concentrate on my school work. Those words ensured that I would be so excited about getting my new skateboard that I would be unable to work.

After a whole day of counting down the minutes, I arrived home from school. My mom was nowhere to be found. I called her office but did not get an answer. She did not answer her cell phone either.

Just as my frustration was peaking, my mom pulled into the driveway. She stepped out of the car, asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I excitedly blurted out, "You said I would get my present after school, and it is officially "after school.'"

"Oh, is that all? I assumed that you missed your dear mother," she teased. I later regretted my response. "No, that's not all! It's everything!" When I asked her where my gift was, she pointed at the J.C. Penney bag she held.

She told me, "It's a new suit for you to wear to church."

I muttered in disbelief, "But you said that if you told me about the gift, I would be thinking about it all day long."

My mom responded, "I didn't say you would be thinking about it because it's a great gift."

Answer 1

Answer:

B. I really needed a new skateboard, and not because I was bored with my old one.

This is the sentence that you would most likely include in a summary of the story, and it is the most important. For most of the story, the twelve-year-old thinks about a new skateboard, so that's an important detail to include. xD

Explanation:

You will be asked to answer one of two essay questions using approximately 750 plus words (3-4 paragraphs). Use detailed and factual information. This essay is worth 12 points. Your question is chosen randomly. 1. Please discuss the Avant-Garde, Black Activism, and the 1960s'. or 2. Please discuss Miles Davis's life and music. Don't forget his musical innovations, bands, or personal life stories.

Answers

Explanation:

 

                       ESSAY ON THE LIFE OF MILES DAVIS

Miles Davis, undoubtedly was born in a time marked by racism, although he was characterized by being a genius with the trumpet, he was a victim of racism, yet Miles with that daring personality and with that spirit of leadership that characterized him, He did not prevent those events from discouraging him from continuing to play, from continuing to create melodies with his trumpet that reached the hearts of all kinds of people regardless of their race, color, or religion, Miles through his music reflected that desire for equality for all within a nation that resisted to tolerate and give freedom of expression. That is why Miles today is remembered not only as a great ingenuity that opened the way for other people to also enter music. Miles Davis was the dominant force in jazz for at least thirty-five years. He listened, touched, and sought his own perspective; his gaze was always focused on the present and the future, never on the past. He argued that music must change (like the world) to maintain its significance. He never stood still, he never tamed, he never sought his comfort space; was constantly being reborn. Like every superior artist, with each change he left behind one style or way of working to face another; In this way he gained new followers and lost others, gained new accolades and new detractors. And none of it mattered to him.

Between 1975 and 1980, Miles stopped playing to deepen and ultimately abandon his brutal cocaine addiction. At the end of that period, in a self-taught and almost therapeutic way, to finish cleaning his body and mind of the drug intake that he maintained for almost four decades, he took up the brush and devoted himself to reflecting his thoughts on the canvas. What started as a hobby became a true passion for the musician. He took classes in New York with Jo Gelbard, with whom he developed a very good and sincere relationship; in fact, she accompanied him in his last days.

Miles's routine included painting in the morning for about five hours, then practicing with his instrument for a couple of hours, boxing, and finally composing and recording. “Painting for me is therapeutic. It keeps my mind busy with something while I'm not playing. "  Very few of his paintings were exhibited during his lifetime, and it was only after his death that the more than one hundred works by Miles began touring galleries and museums around the world in their own right. At his last European concert in Paris in 1991, he played against the background of one of his large paintings.

Read the passage.

Our region has experienced a record drought this year. The water level in the local reservoir has dropped by several feet. As a result, Councilman Garcia is proposing a water ban this summer. The ban would limit how often people can water their yards. There are several ways this ban will be effective.

To improve the argument that the ban will be effective, what would be the best fact to add?

a fact about Councilman Garcia
a fact about the history of the region
a fact about the impact of the drought
a fact about the creation of the reservoir

Answers

Answer:

To improve the argument that the ban will be effective,the best fact to addwould be:

a fact about the impact of the drought

Explanation:

Two reasons are backing this answer, in the first place to make aware people we need to provide arguments that are meaningful for the topic. Our topic is the droughts' impact because as a response to them Councilman Garcia proposed a strategy. Thus, we need to justify Councilman Garcia's proposal. And to let people know why they need it, we need to explain to them the impact of the drought. So they could accept it. In the second place, it is all about convincing them we have the correct point of view and we will only achieve that by providing evidence of it,

Using deductive reasoning, the writer a. starts with a theoretical premise, forms hypotheses about expectations, then gathers data to confirm or reject. b. starts by gathering data, then forms empirical generalizations about data to form a theory. c. attempts to deduce outcomes based on personal observations and life experience. d. attempts to attempts to make sense of a problem by collecting as much data as possible. e. "a" and "c" are correct

Answers

Answer:

a is correct because of its Top-down logic

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is also known as top-down logic, where inductive reasoning refers to bottom-up logic. Top-down logic starts with a theory or premise that is generally assumed to be true, and then moves down all the way to gathering data that confirms or reject the theory.

Taking this in account we can reason that:

b is an example of inductive reasoning

c is subjective reasoning because it´s based on personal observations

d is not reasoning at all because, when confronted with a problem, we should try first to define and analyse it before rushing to collecting data.

e is wrong, that is, when the reasoning I´ve done (a is right and c is wrong) has been correct.

He needs to fix the faucet. Water is _____ (drip).

Answers

Answer:

dripping

Explanation:

Here, the current action of the water has something to do with "drip". Remember that a "gerund" is a word that pairs with a verb but actually acts like a noun. Gerunds usually end in "-ing".

In this sentence, "is" is the verb, and so it's very likely that we need to use the gerund of "drip" here. The gerund of "drip" is just "dripping".

So the answer is "dripping".

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.

However, near a black hole, gases and dust and stars encounter its tug. Some things may be hurtling by so fast they won't get pulled into the black hole. Other things may not be as swift. They will be drawn in.

Closer and closer, the tugging force gets stronger and stronger. Close enough, the black hole no longer acts like a whirlpool.


With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.
