from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain

SATURDAY morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step . . . Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. . . .
He began to think of the fun he had planned for this day, and his sorrows multiplied. Soon the free boys would come tripping along on all sorts of delicious expeditions, and they would make a world of fun of him for having to work—the very thought of it burnt him like fire. . . . At this dark and hopeless moment an inspiration burst upon him! . . .
He took up his brush and went tranquilly to work. Ben Rogers hove in sight presently—the very boy, of all boys, whose ridicule he had been dreading. Ben's gait was the hop-skip-and-jump-proof enough that his heart was light and his anticipations high. He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat. . . .
Tom went on whitewashing—paid no attention to the steamboat. Ben stared a moment and then said: "Hi-Yi! You're up a stump, ain't you!"
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep and surveyed the result, as before. Ben ranged up alongside of him. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to his work. Ben said:
"Hello, old chap, you got to work, hey?"
Tom wheeled suddenly and said:
"Why, it's you, Ben! I [wasn't] noticing."
"Say—I'm going in a-swimming, I am. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd [rather] work—wouldn't you? Course you would!"
Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:
"What do you call work?"
"Why, ain't that work?"
Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly: "Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom Sawyer."
"Oh come, now, you don't mean to let on that you like it?" The brush continued to move.
"Like it? Well, I don't see why I oughtn't to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?" . . .
"Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."
Tom considered, was about to consent; but he altered his mind:
"No—no—I reckon it wouldn't hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly's awful particular about this fence . . . it's got to be done very careful; I reckon there ain't one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it's got to be done."
"No—is that so? Oh come, now—lemme just try. Only just a little—I'd let you, if you was me, Tom."
"Ben, I'd like to, honest…but Aunt Polly—well…[if] you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it—"
"Oh, shucks, I'll be just as careful. Now lemme try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple."
"Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afeard—"
"I'll give you all of it!"
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.

Explanation:

Prove that:

[tex]\frac{1+sinQ}{1-sinQ}=(secQ + tanQ)^2[/tex]

Trigonometric identities are equalities involving trigonometric functions for which both sides of the equality are equal and defined. Some trigonometric identities are:

sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1;  1/cosФ = secФ; 1/sinФ = cosecФ; cosФ/sinФ = cotФ; 1 +  tan²Ф = sec²Ф

Given:

[tex]\frac{1+sinQ}{1-sinQ}\\\\Divide\ through\ by \ cosQ:\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{cosQ} +\frac{sinQ}{cosQ} }{\frac{1}{cosQ} -\frac{sinQ}{cosQ} }=\frac{secQ+tanQ}{secQ-tanQ}\\\\Next, rationalize\ the\ denominator\ by \ multiplying\ the\ numerator \ and\ \\denominator\ by\ secQ+tanQ:\\\\\frac{secQ+tanQ}{secQ-tanQ}*\frac{secQ+tanQ}{secQ+tanQ}=\frac{(secQ+tanQ)^2}{sec^2Q+secQtanQ-secQtanQ-tan^2Q}\\\\=\frac{(secQ+tanQ)^2}{sec^2Q-tan^2Q} ;\ But sec^2Q-tan^2Q=1,hence:\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(secQ+tanQ)^2}{sec^2Q-tan^2Q} =\frac{(secQ+tanQ)^2}{1}=(secQ+tanQ)^2\\\\\frac{1+sinQ}{1-sinQ}=(secQ+tanQ)^2[/tex]

Answer: $11250

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the depreciation expense for the equipment for 2018 under the double-declining-balance method will be calculated thus:

Cost of Equipment = $60,000

Salvage Value = $8,000

Useful Life = 8 years

Double-declining-balance Depreciation Rate will be calculated as:

= 2 / Useful Life

= 2 / 8

= 25%

For 2017:

Beginning Book Value = $60,000

Depreciation Expense = 25% × $60,000 = $15,000

Ending Book Value = $60,000 - $15,000 = $45,000

2018:

Beginning Book Value = $45,000

Depreciation Expense = 25% × $45,000 = $11,250

Therefore, the depreciation expense for the equipment for 2018 under the double-declining-balance method is $11250.

Note that:

Ending Book Value = Beginning Book Value - Depreciation Expense

I think you have the answer right where the colon is placed. After instructions if that's not clear enough.

Explanation:

Answer:

He was never satisfied even though he was one of the richest men in the world.

Explanation:

"Even though" is a subordinating conjunction that is used to introduce a statement that is surprising or unexpected. It is also used to present a stronger emphasis on the concerned statements.

The given sentence presents two parts or qualities of a person. The first states how he's never satisfied while the second states the contrast with the first.

Therefore, using "even though" in between the two statements will present the contrasting yet unexpected statement about the person.

In using the subordinating conjunction "even though", the statement that "he's never satisfied" is contrasted with the other statement "he's one of the richest men in the world". His richness does not seem to make him satisfied, which seems unexpected, in most people's opinion as we tend to think money can make us happy.

Thus, the correct sentence structure will become-

He was never satisfied even though he was one of the richest men in the world.

Answer:

1. The appeal used here is ethos.

2. MAC uses this appeal in order to show the credibility of the MAC product.

3. MAC creates this appeal by using the actor, Justin Long, a young guy to represent a cool and youthful MAC and comedian John Hodgman to show a PC.

4. It helps the company achieve its purpose by using the credibility of the product to persuade the target audience to purchase Mac instead of upgrading to Vista. The company's intention is to let the audience know that Mac is simpler, more powerful, and a lot more fun- revealing the credibility of MAC through use of celebrities.

Explanation:

Ethos is a rhetorical device which refers to the persuasive technique that shows credibility. When used in advertisement, the technique is to make the audience know the credibility of the product advertised. The aim of ethos is to convince the audience that the product/advertiser is reliable and ethical. So, in ethos, a public figure is used in advert in other to endorse the product.

This is what happened in the above advert Mac when actor Justin Long is used to represent Mac.

Answer:

The benefits of forgetting the past is that you liberate yourself from many things that might pain you. It could be that in the past you’ve faced a certain situation that made you feel really bad or anxious, but moving on from that can make you feel better. Or if you got mad st someone you possibly betrayed you, releasing yourself from resentment helps you have inner peace because your no longer resenting what that person did to you. I guess the main cause would be wanting to finally have peace and not worry about what once happened, rather you let it go just so that way you can be happy.

Explanation:

It’s a short summary, but it’s meaningful and I hope it helps you out :)

I was only stating pure fact, as this is my viewpoint on forgetting something in the past.

Answer:

C} Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house.

Explanation:

A sestina is a poem that consists of six stanzas of six lines each, followed by an envoi that is the last stanza with three lines. And there is a specific pattern of rhyming in the poem, which is ABCDEF, FAEBDC, CFDABE, ECBFAD, DEACFB, BDFECA with the envoi's rhyme EDA while also containing the rhymed words of FBC in between the lines.

Elizabeth Bishop's "Sestina" the rhymed words in the first six stanzas are "house, grandmother, child, stove, almanac, tears" which embody the lettering "ABCDEF" in the rhyme pattern. Now, these words are used in the last stanza, the envoi with the three words "almanac stove, house" ending the lines but the other three "grandmother, child, tears" are incorporated in the middle of the lines.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

C. Grandmother, almanac, stove, child, tears, house

Explanation:

Correct on Odyssey

Answer:

The author's choice of setting reflects the mood and tone of the book/play/movie, as well as the personalities of the characters. Because the characters are all in the environment, whatever environment is chosen has an influence on the themes. Depending on the type of scenario they are in, the characters can grow and learn new things. The setting advances the storyline because if the atmosphere of a book is cheerful but the environment is gloomy and menacing, the entire story line will be changed. If all of the characters are joyful individuals, and they travel from a beautiful day at the beach to a haunted mansion, their personalities may change as a result of the situation. Characters, topic, and storyline are all influenced by the author's choice of place.

Invasive species"—they may not sound very threatening, but these invaders, large and small, have devastating effects on wildlife.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Shutterstock

Invasive species are among the leading threats to native wildlife. Approximately 42 percent of threatened or endangered species are at risk due to invasive species.

Human health and economies are also at risk from invasive species. The impacts of invasive species on our natural ecosystems and economy cost billions of dollars each year. Many of our commercial, agricultural, and recreational activities depend on healthy native ecosystems.

What Makes a Species "Invasive"?

An invasive species can be any kind of living organism—an amphibian (like the cane toad), plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, or even an organism’s seeds or eggs—that is not native to an ecosystem and causes harm. They can harm the environment, the economy, or even human health. Species that grow and reproduce quickly, and spread aggressively, with potential to cause harm, are given the label “invasive.”

The arrival of the pandemic was able to completely change people's routine. This change in routine and uncertainties about the future of humanity and the individual, caused a wave of stress that was very difficult to control and that made this moment even more difficult.

In this case, it is important that each individual find their ways to deal with and reduce stress, as it can be the source of many diseases, in addition to causing intense discomfort that can be highly debilitating for some people. Each individual must be able to find their own ways to reduce stress, through activities that bring comfort, distraction and lightness to individual life.

One way to alleviate stress is to relax, that is, spend time resting and recovering energy. A great way to do this is to meditate or take a nap to recover from your busy life. However, this activity can be even more stressful for some people, in this case, it is important that these people find ways to distract themselves such as watching movies and videos, reading books, playing electronic games, making video calls with friends, dancing, exercise, or any other activity that affects boredom and bad and stressful thoughts.

Therefore, at this time of pandemic, it is important for each individual to take care not only of their physical health and adopt health safety protocols, but also take care of their mental health through stress relief methods.

Explanation:

because is a good thing

The correct answer is C. Each of the candidates choose a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC.

Explanation

A colon is a punctuation mark that has the function of pausing in the text to draw the reader's attention to the next text. It represents a longer pause than that of the comma and less than that of the period, so its pause is equivalent to the semicolon. Additionally the colon is used to precede an explanatory enumeration, to separate an exemplification from the rest of the sentence, among others. According to the above, the sentence "Each of the candidates choose a subject area: mechanical, electrical, or HVAC" is correct because in this sentence the most apropiate puntuation mark is the colon considering there is a list or explanatory enumeration "mechanical, electrical, or HVAC". So the answer is C.
