Read the excerpt from Warriors Don't Cry.

I had been patiently waiting, hoping that at any moment my grandmother would signal her approval of my grown-up outfit, upswept hairdo, and high-heeled black patent shoes. Layers of forbidden makeup and dark glasses completed what I thought was the perfect disguise. The white people would never, ever recognize me from any picture they might have seen.

What is the central idea of the excerpt?

A) The narrator longs to be unnoticed in public. (not A, I got it wrong)
B) The narrator admires her grandmother’s style.
C) The narrator has learned new styles at school.
D) The narrator strives to shock her family.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)  The narrator longs to be unnoticed in public.

Explanation:

In this part, she explains the steps she took to modify her appearance. Because of this, she refers to it as "disguise" and does everything she can to not allow it to be overlooked. When asked why she wants to be ignored, she responds that white people "never notice me," and supports the assumption that the author wants to be overlooked.

On rushing to hospital, Melissa had "Irritable Bowel Syndrome (ISB)". Unfortunately, the situation got worse, Jason prayed and prayed, he did everything. One day, the doctor announced that Melissa has no anymore pain and infection, "This is a miracle I think", said the doctor. As Melissa was discharged, and Jason was the happiest man on Earth. On their way home, Melissa got a deep pain, and she kicked the bucket just in a blink of an eye. Jason collapsed cause it was unbelievable, Jason lost faith in his feeble prayers he had to God.

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.

In paragraph 5, the author discusses two sides to the dragon debate. Which statement best summarizes the ideas in the paragraph?

The author implicitly states that she believes that dragons once existed.
The author explicitly states that she believes that dragons once existed.
The author implicitly states that she believes that dragons did not exist.
The author explicitly states that she believes that dragons did not exist.

Answers

Answer:

The author implicitly states that she believes that dragons once existed.

Explanation:

She was never super clear on her belief in the existence of dragons, so the second and fourth options are out.

At the end of the fifth paragraph, she states how the sound of dragons "rekindles" the possibility of their past existence. This would imply that she still thinks dragons once existed, eliminating the third option.

who would buy something without seeing it first? But my grandmother's transaction made it clear: online shopping has
become as commonplace as brushing your teeth.
"As millions of consumers flock to online shopping, I wondered how and why people make the decision to shop online or

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The main idea is to present the feelings the person had before amazon became what it is today. I had my own misgivings about ordering on line until I realized that I really had no choice. I live in a small community of about 800 people. There is a Walmart in the next town over (which has a population of 5000), but I'm not fond of what they did to small businesses.

So the choice was shop at a place I don't like or order through the mail. I didn't really make up my mind until about 2 years ago. Then it was fine.

The author of what you quoted had many of the same feelings. It's a gamble putting money where the system can be broken into and that is what this is all about --  fear of trying something you don't trust.

The answer is B, I think

Elon Musk has been criticized sometimes for his ideas.

Now read the excerpt from "Elon Musk.”

1) At the time, Musk wanted to earn money to buy more video games. 2) Blastar was just his first business idea, though. 3) The young entrepreneur went on to start other businesses. 4) He followed his ideas, even if they seemed strange to other people.
Which sentence in the passage most supports the inference?

sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4

Answers

Answer:

The sentence in the passage that most supports the inference is:

sentence 4.

Explanation:

According to sentence 4, Elon Musk's ideas would sometimes seem strange to others. This fact allows us to infer something: that he was sometimes criticized for his ideas. And why is that? People tend to criticize things they find odd or they simply do not understand. Therefore, sentence 4 is the option that best supports the inference.

Born in 1972, Elon Musk is a South-African engineer and businessman. He is currently most famous due to his company's success in launching rockets and working alongside NASA.

Answer:

4) He followed his ideas, even if they seemed strange to other people.

Answers

False.

Explanation:

A software can be defined as a set of executable instructions (codes) or collection of data that is used typically to instruct a computer how to perform a specific task and to solve a particular problem.

Basically, softwares are categorized into two (2) main categories based on their shareability and availability, these are;

I. Shareware.

II. Open-source software.

III. Closed-source (subscription-based) software.

IV. Freeware.

A freeware software refers to a type of software application (program) that can be downloaded over the internet and used at no extra cost i.e without an end user having to pay an amount of money as fees.

This ultimately implies that, a freeware software isn't available for low cost because they're generally made by software developers to be completely free to all end users.
