Read the excerpt below and answer the question. [Janie] was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was a marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid. Write a paragraph to explain why Janie was moved so deeply by the “marriage” she witnessed between the bee and the blossoms.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because for her this represented the idealization of love and what she seeks in a romance.

Explanation:

The text shown in the question above is an excerpt from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" where we meet the character Janie, who, while trying to dream of love and romance, finds herself trapped in unhappy marriages, where she is exploited and her position as a woman is devalued.

The excerpt shows what Janie's vision of marriage was like, before she was married. When she observes the reciprocity and intimacy between the bee and the flower, she sees this encounter as the idealization of love and romance. She is thrilled to watch the bee and the flower, because that's what she expects from a wedding and that's the kind of experience she wants to have.

Answer:

Kara is isolated and lonely, bullied at school for her dyslexia, and struggling to deal with her mother's mysterious disappearance. Her one escape is taking to the waves in her father's boat, Moana - but things hit rock bottom when she realises that her father, who is struggling to find work, may be forced to sell his beloved sailing boat.

Meanwhile, Felix resents his wealthy, well-meaning parents for taking him to live in a sleepy Cornish fishing village, far away from his home and friends London, but things change when he discovers a passion for sailing. Kara and Felix take an instant dislike to each other, especially when Kara discovers her father is planning to sell Moana to Felix's family - at least until a young dolphin, washed up and stranded on the beach, unexpectedly brings them together.

But helping to save the dolphin brings the new friends up against new, more serious challenges: finding out the truth about the disappearance of Kara's marine biologist mother, and protecting the delicate reef in the bay from commercial dredging.

In addition to Kara being dyslexic, Felix has cerebral palsy. Other characters’ attitudes towards him are convincingly diverse – one relative informs Kara that she should feel sorry for the disabled boy, while some of her own age group find it an excuse to ridicule him. Kara’s own views are also forced to change. She initially finds him bitter and unpleasant, but it soon becomes evident that his animosity is in no way connected with the fact that he happens to be disabled but rather due to the fact that he resents his parents for the move to the seemingly dull seaside town.

Exciting yet sensitive, tender and thought-provoking, Gill Lewis's second novel follows in the tradition of her first book, Sky Hawk, to tell a carefully-crafted tale of nature, friendship and the importance of protecting our environment.

courage is an attitude it is there in our mind do you agree give reasons for your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Yes. I agree.

Explanation:

Courage is what comes before confidence. You cannot be confident in yourself if you do not have the courage to begin it. Confidence is the experience of facing something that you fear repeatedly and Courage is how you respond / react to any given situation to gain the experience to be confident in order to continue and be comfortable of that situation / experience.

You need to start something in order to gain experience. Courage is the word for those that push past the judgment and begin. Confidence is what motivates people to keep going.

I believe the answer is true

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

Tone, in general, is the author's attitude. Usually, it is specified to one event.

If you are still confused, please refer to the example below.

Example

Didn't pass the English test. Not good. Do I dare to tell mom?

From this, we see a tone of anxiety from the author for not passing the English test. Also, since the author's mom may get mad with failing, the author shows anxiety.

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEEEEE

Answers

The correct answer is A. Much ... effect

Explanation

To ask questions in English you can use "how much" and "how many"; these two differ in that the first is used to ask for uncountable nouns such as air, salt, sugar, among others, while the second is used for countable such as apples, people, animals, hours, among others. Therefore, the most appropriate word to ask about the amount of salt that is healthy to eat per day is "how much". On the other hand, the word "affect" is a verb that refers to action, while "effect" is a noun that refers to the consequences of an event. So, the most appropriate is the noun because the text is wondering about the effect that salt has on health and not how it "affects" health. So the answer is A. Much ... effect.

How did the sexual division labor evolved?

Answers

Answer:

Based on the current theories and research on the sexual division of labor, four critical aspects of hunter‐gatherer socioecology led to the evolutionary origin of the SDL in humans: long‐term dependency on high‐cost offspring, optimal dietary mix of mutually exclusive foods, efficient foraging based on specialized skill, and sex‐differentiated comparative advantage in tasks.

Answer:

Based on the current theories and research on the sexual division of labor, four critical aspects of hunter‐gatherer socioecological led to the evolutionary origin of the SDL in humans:

(1) Long‐term dependency on high‐cost offspring

(2) Optimal dietary mix of mutually exclusive foods

(3) Efficient foraging based on specialized skill

(4) Sex‐differentiated comparative advantage in tasks.

Explanation:

These combined conditions are rare in nonhuman vertebrates but common to currently-existing populations of human foragers, which gives rise to a potential factor for the evolutionary divergence of social behaviors.

Rick ( From the show “The Walking Dead”): He’s the protagonist of the show who follows his internal moral compass just like Ralph from the lord of the flies. After the world over turned with flesh eating zombies he and his team always looked to implement civilization in a world that didn’t seem possible.
