Answer and Explanation:
Highlight words and phrases in the dialogue that reflect the historical context of the story.
"I know," Manjiro said. "I'm sorry." He hung his head, but then looked up again. "I hope the barbarians will never find us. May the gods protect us from them!" he cried. Then he plucked up two pieces of driftwood of unequal length. He bowed to his friend, presenting the smooth, worn sticks in both his outstretched hands. "Oh, honored friend," he said, "I present your katana – your long sword."
Which word indicates that this story takes place in another country?
The word that indicates that this story takes place in another country is "katana". Katana is a type of sword used traditionally by Japanese samurais in feudal Japan. Of course, anyone in the world can buy a katana nowadays for purposes such a collecting them. However, as we can see it is a part of the characters' culture, we can read this excerpt and safely assume the story is most likely set in Japan.
Which line in the dialogue best indicates that the story does not take place in the present day?
I believe the line that shows this story takes place at a different time is: "I hope the barbarians will never find us." "Barbarians" is a word used to refer to any person who is considered uncivilized, as well as for those who are considered evil. When foreign people invaded lands killing and looting, they were often called "barbarians" by those being attacked. This is not a common term anymore. We do not refer to people from other countries as barbarians. This is a sign that this story is set in an older period in history.
Answer: A for both
katana and oh honored friend

Explanation:
Read the following passage:
Vultures
Most vultures consume carrion, garbage, and even excrement, but rarely do they descend upon live animals. A few occasionally take helpless prey such as lambs and tortoises or, in the case of Andean condors, newborn calves. Vultures may remain aloft for hours, soaring gracefully on long, broad wings. When one bird descends to a dead or dying animal, others may be attracted from miles away. When feeding, vultures maintain a strict social order based on body size and strength of beak. Smaller vultures must wait for the scraps left behind by the larger, dominant species. Even large vultures, however, give way to nearly all mammalian competitors, including jackals, hyenas, and coyotes.
Old World vultures build large stick platform nests in trees or on cliffs, sometimes in large colonies. Most of the larger Old World vultures lay only a single egg. New World vultures do not build nests but lay their eggs in natural cavities in cliffs or trees. The smaller New World vultures lay two eggs and incubate them for just over a month. The largest species lay only a single egg that may take nearly two months to hatch. The young mature more slowly than those of typical birds of prey.
Based on information in the passage, which is true of vultures?
A.Feeding is an equal experience
B.Nest types depend on the species
C.Vultures are considered plant-eaters
D.Vultures are great hunters
Answer:
the answer is d
Explanation:

How does integrity help someone in life through judgement. (A paragraph please)
The Three Forms of Integrity
Doing the right thing, even though it may be the harder option, despite no one looking will really be a huge step towards ensuring that you live with integrity. External integrity - This is what you portray to those around you. You have high external integrity when your actions are consistent with your thoughts and what you are saying. Image integrity - Similar to external integrity - this is the image of your integrity.
Looking after your image integrity is about ensuring that none of your actions or words can be misconstrued.
Why is Integrity Important?
One where there is open communication, good decision making and a strong moral compass guiding all decisions and actions. Whereas, irresponsible behaviour and distrust can make a work environment uncomfortable and tense. If you are known for your integrity, you will gain trust and respect from the people around you. Integrity is not just important on a personal level, it is also vitally important at a workplace level.
Organisations known for their integrity perform better.
Tips for Demonstrating Integrity in the Workplace
Polite communication, respecting your colleague’s thoughts and ideas and continuously working on relationships demonstrates that you are a team player. If you choose not to follow them or if you use shortcuts, it will lead to bad decisions, problems and mistakes that will need fixing. Demonstrate Responsible Behaviour - Ensure that there is no reason for your colleagues to ever question your conduct by demonstrating ethical and moral behaviour at all times. This includes avoiding using the company’s equipment or resources for personal use, striving to complete your task before deadlines and showing enthusiasm and commitment to your work.
Work Diligently - This is a very powerful way of demonstrating integrity as it shows that you are responsible for your work time. Making personal calls, surfing the internet, texting or snacking at the work desk, are some of the activities that distract one from working efficiently. This shows that you are responsible enough to own up to your mistakes, are willing to correct them and learn from them. Once you know this, align your values to this path and steer straight in all that you do.
At times, you may reach a point where you are asked to do something that doesn’t go in accordance with your personal code of conduct. This may present a challenging decision for you, but if you have strong integrity and values, you will refuse to do it. Make it your goal to be a person of integrity always no matter how many temptations or challenges you face.

1. Which of the following phrases is an example of imagery?
"like a nightmare"
"a leap in like a flash, a metallic clip of teeth"
"life and limb were in peril"
"never seen dog fights"
"constantly alert"
2. TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever.
Which of the following statements best contributes to the mood of the story?
"For his gold I had no desire."
"Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold. . ."
"I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth."
"Passion there was none."
"I loved the old man."
Answer:
a leap like a flash a metallic clip of teeth and whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold and is that from telltale heart

What is the idea of the story?This story idea shares similarities with Frankenstein and the Prometheus/Pandora myth in terms of the consequences of playing with forbidden knowledge or tampering with dangerous forces. In Frankenstein, the scientist's creation of life leads to unforeseen and tragic consequences.

It suggests that the stolen organism could potentially have catastrophic effects if misused or unleashed. This parallels the cautionary themes present in Frankenstein and the Prometheus/Pandora myth, highlighting the potential dangers of playing with forces beyond one's control.
