Write a story that includes the words, ... nothing could have prepared him for what he saw ....
Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw… he was just a child when he saw it. The murdering of his own mother by the hands on his own father. He screamed and whined but to no avail, he begged and even tried to interfere but his fathers brut strength was more powerful than that of his six year old son. His father pushed his own son to the ground, making an impact so great that the boy broke his nose, deforming it. And, after a while the boy lost consciousness. His father murdered his mother with his bare hands, nothing was the same anymore. He had no more motherly compassion or tenderness. His mother was his best friend, no one could replace her. Now, he had no guidance, no hope, no future; all was gone for his father too was in prison also.
As a boy he was secluded from all others and chewed on his nails very frequently. He never said to anyone his troubles but even voices tormented him, so he secluded himself from everyone. The voices would tell him how worthless he was as a human being and also commanded him to kill. However, the boy never listened to the voices, though his self esteem was squashed and thrown to the dirt. He cried sometimes during the nights hoping to commit a vile act against himself, “Perhaps I’ll cut my veins” he said. He was lost and had no purpose to live.
When he grew, he built a log cabin inside the woods near a trail that was filled with thorn bushes. His clothes were teared apart and eaten by flies. Even cobwebs found their way between the fingers of his hands. He was so very depressed. Until, one day a woman came walking down the trail. She was a magnificent beauty, when she was near the log cabin the boy who was now a grown man heard her footsteps, opened the door swiftly, got out and behind the thorn bushes peaked to see who the brave wanderer was. When he saw it was a beautiful woman he was thrilled, but realized soon enough she would leave. So all his fantasies and illusions were broken immediately. However, the woman carried a map.
She was headed towards an old lake, for it was said that the old lake brought a husband and she was desperate for no one took a liking to her due to her maturity and wisdom. So, out of the shadows came out the grown man who was spying on this gorgeous damsel and offered his services. The lady thought not twice and accepted. He showed her the lake and she submerged in it. When she came out she realized the man who helped her was handsome beyond compare.
Extra: (And, when he took her back to the place they originally met, she asked: “Would you like me to stay?” He nodded yes. So, she stayed with him and each other delighted in each other’s company.)

Which dictionary entry best supports the meaning of the word reconnaissance as used in the excerpt? re·con·nais·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun
Full question:
Read the adapted excerpt from “NOAA Hurricane Hunters” by NOAA.
In addition to doing research to help scientists understand hurricanes and other kinds of tropical storms, NOAA's P-3s also do storm reconnaissance missions. The main purpose of these missions is to locate the center of the storm and measure central pressure and surface winds around the eye. Information from both research and reconnaissance flights directly contribute to the safety of people living along and visiting the vulnerable Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Which dictionary entry best supports the meaning of the word reconnaissance as used in the excerpt?
re·con·nais·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun
Answer and Explanation:
The dictionary meaning of reconnaissance is to obtain information by way of preliminary survey of a region, usually for military purposes. In the example given above, reconnaissance is used in the context of the first meaning; to gain information, not necessarily for military purposes. In other words, reconnaissance in this case aims to get information for other purposes(not for military), for purposes of understanding storms in a certain region to secure the safety of people in that region.
Okita uses the tomato, a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker’s American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity. The writers use bleak imagery to convey the sense of isolation they feel from their respective cultures. The speaker of Okita’s poem feels a sense of loss at the prospect of being moved from her home, while the speaker of Cisneros’s short story longs to leave her current location and return to America. The American identity of both speakers is highly questionable, as they frequently refer to their foreign identities.

Debate Day
The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the
brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly
preparing for with his debate team had arrived. It had been
three months of long nights studying and practicing.
He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to
each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and
collected?" he muttered to himself.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit
of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his
team was feeling
"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked.
"Ready for this?"
Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.
The moderator made a brief announcement and Dawson
approached the podium, rubbing the palms of his hands on his
pant legs

stood to announce the winner. Dawson's team erupted in
cheers and began giving each other high fives. Dawson could
not hide his relief and elation

Answer:
OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.
Explanation:
In the given scenario, the narrator mentions how Dawson was "rubbing the palms of his hands on his pant legs." This shows his nervousness because normally, rubbing of palms together is a sign of one's nervousness.
Moreover, the line "[H]e suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach" also reveals his 'nervous' state. He appeared uneasy, which is further clarified by the last line "Dawson could not hide his relief and elation."
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer: Changing the order of events can build tension and suspense.
Explanation: Changing the order of events can build tension and suspense. When a story is presented chronologically, the story is presented in the sequence of events in which it would have occurred. Thus, events will be understood to logically follow one another as things unfold—the order is logical and surprises are rare.
Quote of the day-
"Just remember, without discipline, a clear strategy, and a concise plan, the speculator will fall into all the emotional pitfalls of the market - jump from one stock to another, hold a losing position too long, and cut out of a winner too soon, for no reason other than fear of losing profit. Greed, Fear, Impatience, Ignorance, and Hope will all fight for mental dominance over the speculator. Then, after a few failures and catastrophes the speculator may become demoralised, depressed, despondent, and abandon the market and the chance to make a fortune from what the market has to offer."

explain how native advertisements might represent a conflict of interest in some cases
Answer:
Following are the response to the given question:
Explanation:
In social media, websites, or app systems, domestic marketing is growing rapidly today. Such ads are paid ads, that look and function just like any other media content that view while surfing.
Interests issues arise when one's values are aroused by another. Television advertisements could in some situations represent a potential conflict of interest because some users/browsers need not distinguish the primary contents from the ad. As the ads appear quite similar to the material in their format, consumers may also be distracted while navigating.
This may cause fewer visits of the main contents and decrease the people's interest on some other platforms, and in some cases, native marketing may constitute a conflict of interest, as some users/browsers may well not distinguish between the principal material or marketing.
