Read the excerpt from "Persues."
Each guest, as was customary, brought a gift for the bride-to-be, except Perseus alone. He had nothing he could give. He was young and proud and keenly mortified. He stood up before them all and did exactly what the King had hoped he would do, declared that he would give him a present better than any there. He would go off and kill Medusa and bring back her head as his gift. Nothing could have suited the King better. No one in his senses would have made such a proposal. Medusa was one of the Gorgons.
Which statement best describes a characteristic of a Greek hero displayed by Perseus?
He is greatly admired for his beauty and youth.
He makes a promise to a king that he cannot keep.
He has too much pride and confidence in his abilities.
He is poor and alone with nothing to offer as a gift.
Answer:
He has too much pride and confidence in his abilities.
Explanation:
Perseus as described in the excerpt was young, confident and proud being. The fact that he had nothing material to offer before the king but openly promised to bring be for the king Medusa's head was something no one but only a confident, and proud hero would pledge to deliver. Therefore, from the options given,
Option A is incorrect as the passage didn't talk about the beauty of the young man.
Though it was stated that he had nothing to give, but been poor and alone does not describe an heroic behavior.
Similarly, an unkept promise isn't an heroic quality.
Therefore, his pride and confidence are the heroic qualities Perseus demonstrated.
Answer:
My guy has to much pride in his abilities
Explanation:
Eli was usually silent in class, but he had very strong opinions about The Diary of Anne Frank, a book written
by a young girl who was killed by Nazis during World War II. He wanted the class to take the book very
seriously, even though most students weren't especially interested in Anne or her death. Which of the
following would best explain Eli's perspective?
He enjoyed disagreeing with other class members and liked arguing.
He wanted the teacher to know he had read the book carefully.
O Members of his family were killed by Nazis during World War II.
He was angry because other students hadn't really read the book.
Answer:
Members of his family were killed by Nazis during World War II.
Explanation:
The significance of Anne Frank's diary is because of the historical background of the Holocaust, the most famous genocide in the world's history. And though written by a young girl, the book was also a first-hand account of the whole debacle.
Eli's strong opinions about the Diary and his desire that his class takes the books seriously would stem from the fact that members of his family were killed by the Nazis. This would make him relate to Anne Frank's accounts in a personal way.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
the third option

People in the lowest quintile spend half as
B)
much on food as people in the highest quintile.
As their incomes rise, people spend a greater
C
portion of their total income on food.
As their incomes rise, people spend more on
D) food, but it represents a smaller portion of
their income.
Average annual food spending
The correct answer is D. As their incomes rise, people spend more on food, but it represents a smaller portion of their income.
The graph shows the relationship between "food spending and percent of income spent on food". In the left part, it shows the values of "Average annual food spending ($) that go from 0 to 16,000. In the right part, it shows the values of Percent of income spent on food" that go from 0 to 35. In the part below, five "income quintiles" are shown.
The first (lowest) quintile spends about $ 4,000 per year on food, which is 35% of income.
The second quintile spends about $ 6,000 per year on food, which is about 18% of income.
The third quintile spends about $ 7,000 per year on food, which is about 12% of income.
The fourth quintile spends a little less than $ 10,000 per year on food, which is about 10% of income.
The fifth (highest) quintile spends a little less than $ 14,000 per year on food, which is about 7% of income.
According to the above information, the reader can establish that people who have more income spend more on food. However, this represents a lower percentage of their total income. For example, people who spend just under $ 14,000 on food are spending about 7% of their income, while people who spend about $ 4,000 per year on food are spending 35% of their income. According to the above, the correct answer is D. As their incomes rise, people spend more on food, but it represents a smaller portion of their income.

Case Study:
Gladys and Andrew are taking a psychology class together. During the ice-breaker activity on the first
day of class, Andrew shares with Gladys that he has a difficult time seeing, despite the fact that he
wears glasses and that he is worried about missing out of important parts of the lecture notes. Gladys
then asks him if he would like a copy of her notes, Andrew gratefully accepts.
Gladys has demonstrated civility which requires:
0
A productivity and intelligence,
B empathy
c ethics.
D a high 19
Answer:
c ethics.
Explanation:
Ethics is an essential component of civility, and it is very important that it be present in the case shown in the question above, so that Gladys' civility is presented.
This is because civility determines the norms of coexistence between individuals in a society. These norms need to be established within social ethical standards, since ethics is what determines what is correct and incorrect within society.
As such, Gladys' civility is observed when he helps his friend. Help among individuals is an ethical standard, as it is seen as correct, in addition to being seen as a social norm. Therefore, we can conclude that Gladys showed civility, through an ethical conduct.

The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of blood added to its ghastliness. Yet it was not all these characteristics—it was some horror of the mind, some inscrutable antipathy awakened by this picture, which harrowed up my feelings.

Read paragraph 7 of “A Complication or Two.”
Which statement best describes the narrator’s viewpoint regarding obstacles his children face?
Tracy, a utility-maximizing individual with standard (bowed-in toward the origin) indifference
curves, consumes only two goods: pizza and soda. What must happen to her consumption of soda
if the price of soda falls?
Answer:
If the price of soda drops, and Tracy only consumes two goods (soda and pizza), what is likely to happen is that, due to the law of supply and demand, the lower the price, the higher the demand for the good. Thus, if soda drops in price, Tracy will seek to purchase larger quantities of said product, taking advantage of the drop in price to increase its stock levels.
