From this well-stocked basement came a whole new set
of really neat projects. My younger brother, Mitch, and
his friends, as well as some of my own friends, would
come after school to help. At sixteen I was now a young
entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was surprised
by the number of orders I was getting for more and more
equipment. Soon I didn't have time to build and design
new things. Giving over this work to other kids gave me
more time to do what I wanted to do. This went on after
school and all summer long.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
"When he did appear, he was attended not only by his retinue of dogs but by a black cockerel who marched in front of him and acted as a kind of trumpeter, letting out a loud 'cack-a-doodle-doo' before Napoleon spoke."
In at least 100 words, explain the setting and event Indicated in the above excerpt. Then, describe the characters participating in the event and explain the context clues that helped you define the highlighted vocabulary word ("retinue").
I figured out the answer to the question by myself, so here it is:
Answer:
In this particular scene from the above excerpt taken from George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the narrator explains that Napoleon had now felt he had become so powerful that he did not need to appear in front of the other animals as often; when he did arrive, however, he brought his pack of dogs and a black cockerel to protect him and give out a warning to the other animals should anything happen. The reader would be able to discern the meaning of the word "retinue," as it is used in the excerpt above, by their knowledge that Napoleon had raised a pack of dogs to fight for him. In this case, retinue acts as a synonym to "pack".

What is an adverb?An adverb is a word or an expression that generally modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc., answering questions such as how, in what way, when, where, and to what extent. This is called the adverbial function and may be performed by single words or by multi-word adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses.
Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. Modern linguists note that the term adverb has come to be used as a kind of catch-all category, used to classify words with various types of syntactic behaviour, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories.
The English word adverb derives from the Latin adverbium.

Finally, the muskrat disappeared into the cold depth of the ocean. After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead, but the animals prayed and chanted, and finally he stirred. The Earth-Diver was successful in bringing forth the soil to make the earth grow.
Hello. This question is incomplete. You forgot to add this part:
Which sentences from the excerpt best support the idea that the Iroquois valued sacrifice by one for the good of all?
a.The animals thought that perhaps there was dirt at the depths of the ocean, but they had never tried to reach the bottom before.
b.After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead. . . .
c.[T]he animals prayed and chanted, and finally he stirred.
d.The Earth-Diver was successful in bringing forth the soil to make the earth grow.
Answer:
b. After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead. . . .
Explanation:
In the text shown in the question above, we can see that the animals feared that the ocean floor was soiled that it could harm all livestock. None of those animals could swim to the bottom of the ocean, but someone had to go there to check. The muskrat decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of animals and volunteered to go to the end of the ocean and almost died for it, but he was rewarded for his action soon after. This shows how the Iroquois believed that sacrificing yourself for the people you care about is an act of kindness and courage.

Throughout the book, Trevor’s mother uses humor to cope with difficult and often painful challenges. When does this approach support Trevor, and when does it challenge or frustrate him? What role does humor play in Trevor’s upbringing? How did that role affect his career choices? How have you used humor to help manage a challenging situation?
This question is about "Born a crime"
Answer and Explanation:
1. Trevor's mother uses humor to face the difficult situation they live in, both economically, socially and politically. This supports Trevor through difficult times without seeing situations with negativity, but with irony, with jokes and with good humor. This is a challenge, but it helps them to face the way they live lighter and less sadly.
2. As humor was very present in Trevor's life, he realized that this would be the career he should follow to change his and his mother's life. So he decided to be a comedian.
3. Using humor to overcome a challenging situation is very difficult, because these situations tend to motivate the worst within us and humor is not a bad thing. However, I tried to make some jokes when my parents were breaking up and I was seeing my life as something terrible and with no future, it worked sometimes, but it was difficult.
