Read the paragraph from "Myths About the Founding Fathers."

Thomas Jefferson was NOT, however, the first person to introduce ice cream to the United States. Ice cream had been around for hundreds of years before Jefferson. A kind of ice cream was “invented” in China by mixing milk and rice into snow. Roman emperors used to serve flavored snow. King Charles I kept his ice cream recipe a secret from the rest of England. There’s no evidence to prove that Americans had to wait for Jefferson to come up with the idea before they could indulge in the popular treat. What was the truth? Jefferson liked to serve ice cream at his dinner parties. The rumor took off from there.

How does this paragraph fit in the overall structure of the text?

A. It describes how Jefferson's solution to a problem led to a made-up story about him.

B. It explains how stories about Jefferson have evolved over time.

C. It describes specific causes for a myth about Jefferson.

D. It compares a myth Jefferson to a real story about him.

(ANSWER QUICK)

Answer:

C. It describes specific causes for a myth about Jefferson.

Explanation:

(I believe this is the answer, sorry if it's not!)

It explains how ice cream was created and used in other places, but some people were not familiar with it so assumed Jefferson had created it due to the fact that they discovered it because of him.

My papa held me up to the Moo Cow Moo
So close I could almost touch,
And I fed him a couple of times or so,
And I wasn't a fraidy-cat, much.

But if my papa goes in the house,
And my mamma she goes in too,
I keep still like a little mouse
For the Moo Cow Moo might Moo.

The Moo Cow's tail is a piece of rope
All ravelled out where it grows;
And it's just like feeling a piece of soap
All over the Moo Cow's nose.

And the Moo Cow Moo has lots of fun
Just switching his tail about,
But if he opens his mouth, why then I run,
For that's where the Moo comes out.
In stanza 3, the poet's use of a metaphor suggests that-
a. You can tie up a cow with its tail
b. The cow's tail looks like a piece of rope coming apart
c. The cow's tail is long and crown like rope
d. The cow's nose is slippery like a bar of soap

Read the excerpt passage then answer the questions below, based on the reading

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Write three sentences correctly using ‘future tenses’ to describe the future advantages and disadvantages of the Lascaux cave complex being closed in 1963.
