PARAGRAPH 7:
The Ghost Town
7 Today, Centralia is an eerie ghost town. The wafting smoke and shifting soil are too dangerous for most to brave. The detour signs on Route 61 give no indication of the troubles in Centralia; most cars just veer around the smoldering town. But for those who are fascinated by the fire, Centralia has become a sort of mecca. Tourists come to stare at the devastated landscape, and conspiracy theorists gather to share their outlandish ideas. Of the visitors, the researchers are the most hopeful. They study Centralia's soil, plants, and animals, and they believe that the effects of the fire will shed light upon the processes that created this planet. Though a terrible tragedy, the Centralia fire may someday lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.
QUESTION:
What is the central idea of paragraph 7?
A.
Because of the lack of signs, many are unaware of the impact of the fire.
B.
Because of the fire, Centralia has seen a boost in tourism and scientific research.
C.
The population of Centralia has dropped significantly since the fire started.
D.
As a result of the conspiracies, many people do not believe the fire was real.

By the time Albert was twenty-one years old, it was clear to his friends and family that he was a very gifted man who would succeed in any career. Albert was also aware of his many talents, but instead of thinking about success, he was filled with feelings of gratitude. He began to develop the idea that he ought to pay something back for all of the good fortune in his life. He created an unusual life plan. He pledged to serve his own interests only until he turned thirty. After that, he would serve the world.

I'm not good at determining what is happening in a volleyball game. So if you can understand what I'm describing in this essay, the information I'm saying is relevant, and you actually understand how volleyball works, can you please tell me if this is good? Any negative comments are helpful.
The team's playing in this video are presented as Baylor Bears and Texas Longhorns. Baylor is #3 with a win to loss ratio of 11-2 for this season while Taylor is #1 with their unbeaten 11-0. Texas hit 294 as a team while Baylor hit 233, Texas Longhorns so far is the best hitting team efficiency wise in the country with a score of .359. Baylor took the lead in the first two sets when they made their first o2 comeback ever since Nov 1st of 2017. Hannah Sedwick, #14 Setter, in Baylor to me, seems like a really focused player, they mentioned how she was out for most of the season due to a fracture in her leg but yet she seems so active and awake, all of the players put in an effort but Hannah actually commits. When blocking the ball, her entire body became stiff and she carried the win for her team. On the other team there's Yossiana Pressley, #32 Outside Hitter, on the Baylor Bears who had 29 kills in the first part, and I have to say she completely dominated Baylor's with her spikes. Nilani Iosia, #12 Libero, in the Texas Longhorn scored 15 digs and an excellent passing percentage while Lauren Harrison, #31 Outside Hitter, Baylor Bears was the second leading attacker in the first part. Another notable player is Jhenna Gabriel, #2 setter, in Texas Longhorns who is the reigning national player of the big 12 player of the year.
The Texas Longhorns came through this game with a ratio of 3-2 remaining unbeaten for the 12th time in a row. In one play I remember Butler barely hit the ball over the net and scored. It wasn't such a critical play but it had strategy and reasoning behind it. While Baylor prepared for the worst by upgrading the offense, they left their defense bare. That's why I think it was smart how Butler quickly noticed that and surprised them. This team had a quick dynamic where they would hit the ball before the blockers could completely cover over the net. Somewhere in the beginning, I immediately had a feeling Taylors had something the Bears didn’t which helped them stay unbeaten. I’d say it’s how they made sure to make their hits clear so that it can go through the blockers, and they were very efficient with passing the ball to their hitters. They should’ve had a clearer touch with the ball as well even if they won, it looked like both teams couldn’t block the ball most of the time.
The losing team, Baylor Bears, was honestly close to Texas's score. I couldn't stop focusing on Yossiana Pressley in Baylor, she had perfect momentum and sharp reflexes. Not just because of her kills but I'd say she was the MVP player of this game. The team was always so supportive as well especially whenever a small mistake occurred like a foul for going over the line on a serve. I have to admit, most of their sets were average, and not to mention how their hitters would constantly hit out of the court. It seemed as if they were trying to get it to hit the net so Taylor's would have more difficulty blocking it, if that's the case then it's a very smart move, but otherwise, if they just happened to be lucky then I'd consider it a miracle. This team could always track the ball but when it came to controlling the ball, they were late and had bad momentum. The sad part is, the Baylor Bears are such a good team, I personally liked them more in the beginning where I saw more action, but whenever it came down to the ball constantly being passed back and forth it seemed as if they lost energy which to me, ultimately led to the downfall of their team.
Thank you :)

How have Ponyboy’s feelings for Darry changed since the beginning of the story? Why? Use examples
Answer:
At the beginning of the novel, Ponyboy resents Darry for being too strict and always bothering him for not using his head. He recognizes the sacrifices that Darry has made to raise his two little brothers, but still thinks Darry just doesn't care for him at all.
But in Chapter 5, when Soda and Darry come to the hospital, Ponyboy has a revelation. He sees his oldest brother cry for the first time in years - he didn't even cry at their parents' funeral - and realizes that "Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he cared he was trying too hard to make something of me." He understands that Darry is terrified of losing another person he loves, and wonders "how I could ever have thought him hard and unfeeling."
In Chapter 10, when Ponyboy wakes up momentarily, he asks Soda if Darry is sorry he's sick. He also worries throughout the chapter that maybe he didn't ask for Darry while he was delirious, but Soda finally confirms that he did. This concern for Darry's feelings is a huge change from the way Ponyboy regarded his oldest brother in the beginning of the novel. Now he is worried that, because deep down he feels he can relate better to Soda, he might have left Darry out in his unconscious babbling.
Explanation:
Should protesting against the United States government be considered an act of terrorism?
Answer:
YES
Explanation:
Its an act to be violent and no one should tolerate it
Answer:
Protests are meant to be peaceful, and they are different from riots. Protesting for a change against the government should not be considered an act of terrorism, as it is even stated in the constitution that people have a right to speak up for a change. Riots should be considered an act of terrorism, as they cause harm to the innocent people that are targeted within those groups of people. A protest is meant to be a peaceful way to settle a matter, therefore I do not think they should be considered an act of terrorism.
However, if people claim to be protesting, and harming people along the way, this should be concluded as a riot and taken care of. Protests should be monitored to ensure that nothing gets out of hand, as some people take these names for granted.

Help “How important is it to live a moral life if you want your personal relationships to last? Give examples to support your thoughts and ideas”.
Answer:
It is important to live a moral life if you'd want a personal relationship, because a person's morality can benefit us in some way. Moral traits have social value and signal to us whether we should approach or avoid and whether we should affiliate with that person. An example a moral life is always telling the truth, keeping your promises, and another is to treat your partner how you'd like to be treated. My thought on living in a moral life is a bit frustrating, but fair because you wouldn't like it if your partner, or anyone in general were to break their promises or even lie to you, whether if it's constant or not. Anyone would be upset if someone lied to them, but I think it's fair because I'd appreciate it if my partner or anyone would tell me the truth at all times, and they'd appreciate it if I did the same to them.

Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes’s narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages?
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude.
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that Eastern European farmers and enslaved people on sugar plantations shared a common goal.
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Both passages use evidence to support the claim that lawmakers had more power and influence than abolitionists had.
Answer:
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Explanation:
The passages you were given are the following:
Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, lawmakers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom.
Clarkson and others who believed as he did, who in the coming decades would be called abolitionists, realized that while that link gave the English a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity. If they could reverse the flow—make the horrors of slavery visible to those who benefited from it—they might be able to end the vile practice forever. The abolitionists were brilliant. They created the most effective public relations campaign in history, inventing techniques that we use to this day. When he spoke, Clarkson brandished whips and handcuffs used on slaves; he published testimonials from sailors and ship doctors who described the atrocities and punishments on slave ships. When Olaudah Equiano published his memoir, he educated his readers about the horrors of the slave trade. And then, when the English began to understand what slavery really was, Clarkson and others organized what we would call a boycott of "the blood-sweetened beverage."
The given passages are from the book Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. The book tells about the history of sugar from its discovery in New Guinea around 7000 B.C. to the 21st century. The sugar industry was based on slavery for a long time, which is what the book focuses on.
These two passages tell us about how the knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about slavery. People were beginning to notice how poorly the slaves were being treated and began fighting for their rights.
