Which sentence could effectively be placed in a summary of Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change because it expresses a key idea objectively? In the 1880s and 1890s, female bicycle racers faced a variety of opponents, including males, horses, and an occasional dog. Some women foolishly pushed themselves to unbelievable lengths, sustaining a multitude of injuries just to be victorious. Women preferred racing on the East Coast and in the Midwest because these areas were filled with kind people who supported them. Had I been alive at the time, I would have supported women for their courageous and competitive efforts in bicycle racing.

You recently left an item ( example, a book, musical instrument etc) on a bus on your way home from school. Write a letter to your cousin who lives in a different town describing what happened after you discovered that you had lost the item.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Dear…,

Remember how you’re always telling me I am the most forgetful person you have ever met? Well, I guess that must be true. I myself have never met anyone more prone to forgetting things than I am.

Last week, on my way home from school, I left my backpack inside the bus. I know it sounds insane. How can someone coming back from school forget a whole backpack, filled with books, and not notice it until much later? As I said, you were right about me.

I only noticed it was missing when, after dinner, I decided to get started on my English essay. I had brought the books I would need with me – or, at least, I though I had. When I entered my room and walked toward the spot on the floor where I usually drop my backpack once I get home, I realized what had happened.

You can imagine my despair. Precious books, notes, and a couple of devices, all lost at once. It was a nightmare. And you can also imagine how much I feared telling mom. I knew there would be a whole lecture on how little attention I pay to things, on how irresponsible I can be sometimes…

I told her anyway. She did not lecture me. I was shocked. Instead, she helped me contact the people who could help. This was not the school bus, but a regular one. It turns out they had found and kept my backpack. All was good.

Or so I thought. Once it was all solved and I had my backpack lying on my lap while mom drove us both back home, the lecture finally happened. I can’t say I was annoyed or angry. Just embarrassed. And your words, my dear cousin, kept popping in my mind all the while. I don’t ever want to go through this again. I promise to pay more attention from now on.

From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs' tombs were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids served as giant grave markers; however, they also served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These wicked people would strip the tomb bare of valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a large amount of money. Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient egyptians, the act also threatened the pharaoh's afterlife.
The answer is ( B grave robbers were unconcerned about the pharaoh's afterlife), tell me why B is correct?

Answers

Answer:

As ancient Egyptian rulers, pharaohs were both the heads of state and the religious leaders of their people. The word “pharaoh” means “Great House,” a reference to the palace where the pharaoh resides. While early Egyptian rulers were called “kings,” over time, the name “pharaoh” stuck.

Explanation:

Answer: B

Explanation: "They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs were prepared for the afterlife by placing valuables inside." Makes perfect sense. The text shows the evidence for it, since the text mainly talks about valuables inside, and the afterlife. Im also pretty sure that it would take great lengths to get these valuables.

(Source: S.L.C Payers, SC Paard of None C Set​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There were once two goats, neither of which had much patience, or much willingness to compromise. This inherent stubborness would only lead to their ultimate downfall.

One day, the two passed each other on a very narrow bridge, while on an afternoon trek. Both demanded that they deserved to cross first, unable to compromise and only thinking of themselves.

After bickering for minutes on who deserved the first right of passage, the two began fighting. As one goat began to shove past the other, his hoof hit a unstable ledge on the bridge and he began to falter. The other, unwilling to let the other goat pass, confronted the goat, and then stepped on the same unstable ledge. The bridge then gave way, and the two goats  tumbled off the bridge, into the river, to their collective death.

The moral of this story are that patience, compromise, and teamwork are the keys to success.

Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe

The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.

Read these lines from the text:

Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene.

PLEASE HELP NEED HELP NOW WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!Our Family Pet

Our family pet is an adorable kitten. This might not seem 1unusual. My mother hates cats. Perhaps hate is 2 to strong a word. She definitely fears them. She can’t help it. I guess 3 one could say this fear is inherited. Her mother, her three aunts, and her grandmother all share this phobia. Nonetheless, the kitten is a beloved member of our family now. 4 Here’s the story:

5 One summer morning in August, Mom and Aunt Fran went to the school track to walk. Off in the distance they heard a noise that sounded like a baby screaming. It was coming from a dumpster near the cafeteria. Alarmed, they moved closer to investigate. The wailing grew louder. Aunt Fran gasped when she saw the tiny head of a kitten trapped in a small opening in the bottom of the dumpster. 6 It’s body could not make it through the hole. Hopelessly trapped, 7 we saw that the creature continued to shriek. The women looked around for a mother 8 cat. None in sight.

They realized that the summer heat would be unbearable by midday. Quelling their fears, they rattled off options: call for someone to come help; push the kitten’s head back into the dumpster; 9pulling the rest of its body out of the opening; leave and hope someone who is not afraid finds the kitten in time; ignore the screeching and get walking.

10 Mom picked up a discarded jacket and covered the kitten’s head. She pulled gently, then firmly, but that kitten’s body was not coming out. So now it was Aunt Fran’s turn. After several attempts she pushed the kitten’s head back into the dumpster. Maternal instincts kicked in and my mother climbed into the dumpster. 11 Cautiously, she picked up the kitten.

Aunt Fran 13 said we oughtta name her D.D. for dumpster diver, but we were set on Lily. After our trip with the kitty to the vet, we learned that Lily is a boy! Of course we plan to change his name. We haven’t convinced Mom that we need a friend for the kitty, but I am optimistic. I like the name Frank, but my sister is pushing for Harold. Whatever name we choose, I am glad that mom and Aunt Fran were able to face their fears.


What traditional theme is conveyed through this story?
Question 19 options:

The importance of family pets

The importance of family

Answers

Answer:

C. The importance of overcoming fears

Explanation:

Even though the aunt and mother had a fear of cats, they knew they had to help the poor thing stuck in the dumpster. It was important that they overcame this fear because if they didn't the kitten may have died. Saving the kitten also made the daughter happy that (1) they could have a pet cat and (2) their aunt and mother could overcome their fears of cats in order to save it. This is reinforced by the last sentence "...I am glad that mom and Aunt Fran were able to face their fears."

I hope this helps!!

- Kay :)

The importance of overcoming fears Despite their fears of cats, the aunt and mother realized they had to save the poor creature trapped in the rubbish. It was critical that they overcame their fear because the kitten might have died if they hadn't.

Why is it important to overcoming fears?

People confront their concerns for a reason: it aids in their development. people will never be able to go forward unless overcome fears.

People never be able to establish a growth mindset and become a person who takes action, makes changes, and achieves success. Instead, people find in the same predicament.

Thus, option C is correct.

No one knows for sure what causes the Catatumbo Lightning. Some scientists think it's caused by increased amounts of methane gas around the area. Others believe the lightning occurs because of the area's unique location—the very hot, humid air from the Catatumbo River and Lake Maracaibo meets cool air that comes down from the Andes mountains. 9 The mystery of what causes the lightning deepened when, beginning in January 2010, the lightning did not appear for a period of several months. During this time Venezuela, like many other parts of the world, was experiencing abnormal weather patterns, and the country was suffering from a severe drought.
