Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey's
mood?
Read the excerpt from Homecoming
At half past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the
mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later,
Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along
the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey.
Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the
front seat, but she supposed they would manage it.
James sat stiftly, gripping the wheel. James had a
narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out,
pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him
in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the
nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest
asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon
of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though
it was standing still the car seemed to be flying down a
highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was
O She is very worried about what would happen to her
family
She is in denial about her family's present
circumstances
O She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever
possible
She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all
situations.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D). She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all  situations.

Explanation:

As per the given excerpt from 'Homecoming,' the last statement most aptly describes the mood and temperament of Dicey that 'she is undergoing a bad time in feeling safe in almost every situation.' The descriptions like 'Dicey couldn't see...seat,' 'studied...darkening car,' 'she didn't feel safe,' etc. further justify this conclusion that she had an inherent fear inside her which was not letting her to do things independently. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Do you know the answers to the common lit story question "Coming of Age Ceremonies Across Different Cultures" written by Thomas Pool?

Answers

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the question from the commonlit article:

1. Which statement best expresses the central idea of the passage?

2. How does the author introduce the main ideas of the passage?

3. What is the author's main purpose in the article?

4. What connection does the author draw between Quinceanera and bar or bat mitzvahs?

Answer:

1. D. Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration.

2. C. The author explains a number of specific traditions and then summarizes how they are all the same.

3. D. to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures

4. C. Both celebrations and ceremonies involve a religious component and a party.

Explanation:

1. Indeed, we can note from the text the author's emphasis on the coming-of-age ceremony and celebration. Hence, the central idea of the text is best expressed by the statement, "Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration."

2. We can remember in the last paragraph the author after explaining a number of specific traditions he then summarizes how they are all the same by saying, "all these ceremonies demonstrate is that becoming an adult is not something one has to do alone"

3. Yes the text appears to be written in an expository format, done in other to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures.

4. We can easily observe that in Jewish cerelebration (bar or bat mitzvahs) it involves going to a place of worship (the synagogue), while in Quinceanera we are told "The celebration...begins with a mass" (which is a religious component).

a. Write an account of the most important event in the
history of your country
(About 150 words)​

Answers

Answer:(this is 203 words) hope this helps!

The reason why the Constitution is the most important event in history is that with it, the U.S maintains its order. It does so much that we don't even realize how much of an impact it has on our government and ourselves.

Firstly the Constitution created the three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. By creating these three branches this helped decrease the risk of tyranny again, as well as help creates balance. As we have seen throughout history, an unbalanced government leads to a chaotic country, a country that no one respects, and most countries look up to us as the great big brother. So, when you think about it, the Constitution helped us gain respect too.

Secondly, the Constitution outlines our freedoms. It gives us the power to express ourselves selves, and honestly, it gives us the green light to be ourselves and be proud of who we are and the country we represent. It also gives us security, the security to know that we have a voice and are free to use that voice legally

In conclusion, the Constitution's creation was the most important part of history because it's what made this country what is today.

Answers

Answer

yes

Explanation:

dear "mom/dad/parent/ect"

  I believe that teens should receive allowance because giving teens an allowance can help instill positive money habits, financial experts say. ... One of the biggest debates for parents around allowances is whether to tie them to chores. Taub believes chores should be done because kids are contributing household members, not because of financial incentive.

Giving your teen an allowance will help them learn to make those same budgeting decisions. If they overspend one week, they'll have to budget better the next week. These little lessons can be helpful in teaching about the balancing act that budgeting requires.

The statement, '' Students who are open about their failures show that they have the ability to grow and be successful in college and beyond.'', is the one which states the central idea of the text from ''Want to get into College? Learn to fail.'' Therefore, the option B holds true.

What is the significance of a central idea?

A central idea of a textual composition can be referred to or considered as the theme on which an entire composition is based upon. The narrator has a primary intention of conveying his interpretations to the readers through the central idea of a story.

The text above, taken from ''Want to get into College? Learn to Fail.'' speaks about the central idea that how students can have a succeeding college life if they have an ability to open up to the world about their failures in education and life in general.

Therefore, the option B holds true and states regarding the significance of central idea.

“I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce back is a fundamental life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. During my weekend of interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed precalculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I’m now taking calculus, and even though I don’t love it, I’m glad I pushed through!” I asked him what he learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success.

NON FICTION ;-;

Explanation:

Fiction teaches us compassion, humanity, empathy and the importance of loving each other. Nonfiction helps us learn about real people and how they live/lived, which influences our lives in however we receive their choices or see how they reacted to situations.

THATS THE TRUE ANSWER..

Fiction is better to read , although non fiction is better for learning more about real life And experiences in the real word that you can relate to fiction in my opinion is better. Even though fiction isn’t real it can cover topics from real life such as depression , anxiety and bullying better than most non fiction books, fiction also doesn’t apply to real life so you can basically make any type of book beyond the normal boundaries of real life such as , time Travel , magic & ETC , it can give you a feeling of adventure that non fiction cannot give you. Fiction can also help our brain, multiples studies have shown that imagining stories helps us activate the regions of the brain responsible for better understanding others and seeing the world from a new perspective
