Answer:
It explains to the reader that Elya was indeed Stanley's great-great-grandfather.
Explanation:
The story "Holes" by Louis Sachar tells the story of how a curse by a 'witch' led to the misfortune of the victim's family throughout his generations. Stanley Yelnats' grandfather Elya Yelnats did not keep his promise to the gypsy Madame Zeroni, which led to the unfortunate life of his great-great-grandson Stanley.
In chapter 7, the author includes the family history of Stanley and narrates how the 'misfortune' of being 'cursed' by the gypsy follows the Yelnats family. He included the line "He didn't know he was Stanley's great-great-grandfather" to make the point clear that Elya was indeed his great-great-grandfather who was a "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather".
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
It explains to the reader that Elya was indeed Stanley's great-great-grandfather.

Explanation:
Kabir and his friends were returning from an punting when their car broke down in the middle of the forest. They searched the forest for an inn to stay for the night and found one. The inn belonged to a man named Samuel Dickens. He was a forestor. He told them not to come here as this area was a very haunted place. But they did not listen to him and asked if they could spend here for the night. He agreed and took them inside the house. He gave them food and told them that their beds where in the next room. They closed the lights and slept. In the middle of the night, a moaning noise was heard. Kabir and his friends heard the sound and woke up to check. They saw Mr Samuel lying on the ground and a strange creature on top of him. Kabir and his friends shrieked with horror and ran out of the house, took the car and drove away. The man in the inn had repaired their car and went inside the house when this thing attacked him. Kabir still remembers it and never went to the forest again.

Younique is writing an essay in favor of recycling to reduce garbage in the ocean. Which piece of evidence is least relevant to her argument? 1. Litter is not only ugly, but also harmful to animals in national parks 2. Millions of plastic water bottles end up in the ocean each year, adding to the millions already there and not decomposing. 3. Recycling has become easier with many public places including recycling bins right next to all garbage cans. 4. Plastic that hasn't been recycled has extremely harmful effects to the wildlife that live in the ocean.
Answer:
1. Litter is not only ugly but also harmful to animals in national parks.
Explanation:
Option number one is the least important piece of evidence in Younqique's essay because it is not giving information about how garbage and not recycling can affect the oceans. The statement is talking about animals in general and not giving specific evidence about how animals in the sea are affected. The other options are relevant because they inform about the benefits of recycling and the negative impact that the accumulation of garbage in oceans has, encouraging us to recycle.

Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth? By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish By changing what Midas wishes for By resolving Midas's conflict sooner By showing what happens to Midas's daughter
Answer:
by showing what happens to Midas's daughter

Which theme, or lesson about life, would the character's thoughts in
this passage best support?
A. the importance of honesty in human relations
B. the indifference of nature to human suffering
c. the danger of a single passion taking over the mind
D. the cowardly nature of those who forgive an enemy
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best
could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not
suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length
I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled-but
the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded
the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity.* A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes
its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails
to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had 1
given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as
was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.**

Which four phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?
Which phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy’s work?
he name, Ptolemy, appears to have been a common one in Egypt in those days. The time at which he lived is fixed by the fact that his first recorded observation was made in 127 AD, and his last in 151 AD. When we add that he seems to have lived in or near Alexandria, or to use his own words, "on the parallel of Alexandria," we have said everything that can be said so far as his individuality is concerned.
Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him. He incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories. His speculations, even when they were, as we now know, quite erroneous, had such an astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts of nature that they commanded universal assent. Even in these modern days we not infrequently find lovers of paradox who maintain that Ptolemy's doctrines not only seem true, but actually are true.
A.) so far as his individuality is concerned
B.) greatest figure in ancient astronomy
C.) gathered up the wisdom
D.) illumined it with his theories
E.) astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts
Answer:
B. "greatest figure in ancient in astronomy"
C. "he gathered up the wisdom"
D. "illumined it with his theories"
E. "astonishing verisimilitude to the actual act"
Explanation:
The author acknowledges Ptolemy's work and contributions to astronomy, although some of his works and theories were later found to be wrong.
He calls him the greatest figure in ancient astronomy and says that he gathered up wisdom, brought light with his theories, and helped advance astronomy. He believes that even if some of the theories were wrong, they were similar to true facts.

Which best states the central idea of this excerpt? It is always necessary to work with a partner when dealing with unidentified substances. Extreme precautions must be taken when dealing with potentially hazardous materials. Scientists are well known for being overly cautious and for taking unnecessary safety measures. It is standard procedure to wear both space suits and hearing protectors in laboratories.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone.
There she met Lieutenant Colonel Trotter, a stocky, dark-haired man whom Nancy had worked with for many years. They put on their inner gloves and taped their cuffs. Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her ears. She had started wearing them a while back, when people had begun to suspect that the roar of air in your suit might be loud enough to damage your hearing. They hauled on their space suits and sealed the Ziploc zippers. They edged around each other as they fiddled with their suits. People wearing biohazard space suits tend to step around one another like two wrestlers at the beginning of a match, watching the other person's every move, especially watching the hands to make sure they don't hold a sharp object. This cringing becomes instinctive.
Which best states the central idea of this excerpt?
A.It is always necessary to work with a partner when dealing with unidentified substances.
B.Extreme precautions must be taken when dealing with potentially hazardous materials.
C.Scientists are well known for being overly cautious and for taking unnecessary safety measures.
D. It is standard procedure to wear both space suits and hearing protectors in laboratories.
Answer:
The option that best states the central idea of this excerpt is:
B.Extreme precautions must be taken when dealing with potentially hazardous materials.
Explanation:
The excerpt reveals they are wearing biohazard suits, meaning they will be dealing with potentially hazardous materials. We know, not only from movies but also from real life disasters, that when people deal with hazardous materials, extreme precautions are taken to ensure everyone's safety. From the excerpt, we cannot assume it is always necessary to have a partner. It is unclear as to why they are working in pairs. The excerpt also does not criticize the safety measures, does not make it seem that scientists are overly cautious. Finally, the hearing protectors Nancy is wearing are a choice of hers. It is not a standard procedure to wear them. Taking all that into consideration, we can safely choose letter B as the correct choice.
The option that best states the central idea of this excerpt is: Extreme precautions must be taken when dealing with potentially hazardous materials.
In this passage from "The Hot Zone," we learn of the precautions that people wearing biohazard suits had to take.
They were to watch the hands of their partners, to be sure that they were not holding any sharp objects that could lead to harm.
Generally, the excerpt explains that people who handle potentially hazardous materials had to take some precautions.

Which statement best describes the meter?
A. The meter is free, imitating the flow of conversational speech.
B. The meter is free, making the poem unpredictable.
C. The meter is fixed, and every syllable is stressed.
D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
Explanation:
As every eye awaits her hand
To cue the members of the band.
The lines above are an example of iambic tetrameter. An iamb is a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Since we have that pattern repeat 4 times in each line, they are called iambic tetrameters (tetra means 4). Since both lines have the same meter, we can say the meter is fixed. Also, since they are iambic, they end in a stressed syllable, which draws attention to the end rhyme. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
The statement that most adequately recounts the meter would be as follows:
D). The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
'Meter' is characterized as the pattern of rhythm(emphasis on particular words through syllables) that is followed by the poet or poetess in a poem. The key purpose of a meter is to add melody, as well as, rhythm in every line of the poem that promotes its readability and memorization among the readers through the rhyme and rhythimc structure employed in a poem through meter.Therefore, the meter is static in nature because it aims to add emphasis to certain set of syllables in each line to fulfill the poetic demands and make it more effective and melodius and rhythmic.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answer:
The three methods can lead to good stories.
Dairy writing can become a good stories when the dairy writer is a good storyteller, which is often the case. Some of the best stories in history have been taken from, or inspired by, personal diaries of remarkable people.
Fiction narratives also lead to good stories because telling a story is the main purpose of that type of writing method.
Finally, nonfiction narratives can also be good stories if the writer is good at it. Nonfiction can simply narrate a historical event that did happen in real life with some of the attributes and methods of fiction narratives.
Answer:
I would say a method that will give the best stories would be fiction narratives. The reason I say this method makes the best stories is because imagination can have lots of amazing things and stories to tell. I would say fiction narratives make more of an engaging point of view. Yes, the structure of fiction narratives make a big difference to the storytelling because imagination can have lots of power. A few specific elements would be persuasive and descriptive.
