(school related; chess club, drama club, food club, school sports etc.)?
3. Are television, movies, and music responsible for teen violence?
4. Is it important to study Shakespeare in secondary school?
5. Should the sale of “junk foods” be banned from Ontario secondary schools?
6. Do people depend too much on technology?
Answer:
this is for number 1
Explanation:
i believe the driving age should be lowered to age 15 because it can help kids be on time to school and not have to worry about their parents or the bus. They could also be able to go to work nd get jobs which can be good for their future. And then they will also not have to depend on parents as much and help with their little siblings.
I disagree with this because they are still kids and may not know how to drive well. That can result in more wrecks. also they can go to pairties where they can drink and do drugs which can damage their brain. finally it can be easier for them to be kidnapped being alone driving and they can worry there parents

What did we learn about the character Curley in chapter 2 and why is it important to the story (Of mice and men)? Explain
Answer:
He is described as “a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair” which is why he is called Curley. Curley is described as dressing in a somewhat aristocratic way, as if to separate himself from the lowly ranch hands. The glove is to keep his hand soft for his wife. Curley is the boss's son, and because his father only appears once, Curley is the main representative in the novella of the land-owning class. When this revenge plan fails and he loses face, Curley picks a fight with the vulnerable Lennie to reassert his status.
Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim? "A plantation was not a new technology but, rather, a new way of organizing planting, growing, cutting, and refining a crop." "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets." "Since one cannot live on sugar, the crop grown on plantations could not even feed the people who harvested it." "The mill was right next to the crop, so that growing and grinding took place in the same spot."

Tarveling in the desert can be a challenge. The hot sun scorches. The sun beats down on you. So, how can you travel and stay safe? People use cars to get across the desert. People use camels to get across the desert. Be sure to bring plenty of water. It pays to be prepared. Edit this to help me to get this right please
Answer and Explanation:
Traveling in the desert can be challenging. The hot sun burns. The sun hits you. So, to travel safely in the desert it is worth preparing, take plenty of water and rent camels and cars whenever necessary.
Water is essential for this trip because it prevents dehydration which can be very dangerous and lead to death. For this reason, it is necessary to take plenty of water and drink it frequently, with water being the most important element to safely pass the desert.
The use of cars is also beneficial, as it provides coverage against the sun and promotes rapid travel, however, when car rental is not available it is necessary to rent camels, which will also be beneficial, as it prevents the tourist from making physical effort walking and decreases the body's water loss.
Which event from "Seventh Grade" is part of the story's rising action? Victor waits in line to receive his computer card. Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa. Victor agrees to help Teresa learn the French language. Victor goes to the library and checks out French textbook
Answer:
Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa.
Explanation:
The rising action of a story is one part of the plot where the characters act or say in such a way that it builds up and creates suspense. It occurs before the climax of the story but acts or helps in building the suspense to the climax.
In Gary Soto's short story "Seventh Grade", the character Victor wants to impress Teresa, a girl he likes. So, he'd do everything in such a way that he's near her or that she will notice him. One scene which is a part of the rising action is when he lingers near his homeroom just to be near her.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
Your answer is "Victor lingers in his homeroom so he can be near Teresa". :)

(he / phone) ______ Angie before he went to see her in London? 10. She (not / ride) ______ a horse before that day
Answer:

2. He (not / be)had not been to Cape Town before 1997.
3. When she went out to play, she (do / already) had already done her homework.

6. The waiter brought a drink that I (not / order) had not ordered.
7. I could not remember the poem we (learn) had learned the week before.
8. The children collected the chestnuts that (fall) had fallen from the tree.
9. (he / phone)Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?
10. She (not / ride) had not ridden a horse before that day
Explanation:
The tense that we have to use to fill the blanks is past perfect simple. We use this tense when we want to talk about an action that took place before another event in the past. Usually, the other situation is in the past simple.
The structure of the past perfect is: the subject (he, she, it, we, you, they, you, I) followed by the auxiliary had and the verb in the past participle.
For example, in the sentence, John knew the town because he had visited it in the past. Knew, is the past simple of know while had visited, is the part of the sentence that is in past perfect simple, and we can see that is referring to an event in the past (knew the city) because of the action that he made previously to that (had visited it in the past).
The correct verb forms to fill the given blanks would be as follows:
1). The storm destroyed the sandcastle that we had built.
2). He had not been to Cape Town before 1997.
3). When she went out to play, she had already done her homework.
4). My brother ate all of the cake that our mum had made.
5). The doctor took off the plaster that he had put on six weeks before.
6). The waiter brought a drink that I had not ordered.
7). I could not remember the poem we had learned the week before.
8). The children collected the chestnuts that had fallen from the tree.
9). Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?
10). She had not ridden a horse before that day.
Past perfect tense is employed to denote the actions that took place in the past prior to an event that happened in the past. The first action is framed using "Subject + had + V3" and the latter action is framed in past indefinite tense i.e. "Subject + V2."Thus, the above blanks would be as mentioned using this tense as follows.Learn more about "Verb form" here:

Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects. The drum was found by Kitchener's army near Khartoum after the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of the city. Once again it was re-carved – or re-branded – to make a political statement: near the tail of the bush calf Kitchener added the emblem of the British Crown. It was then presented to Queen Victoria. Which conclusion about historical significance can be drawn from this information? The emblem of the British crown was carved onto all artifacts found by the British army. The carving on the slit drum was viewed as an unimportant addition by Kitchener's army. The carving on the slit drum is representative of British rule over African territories. The emblem of the British crown was commonly found already engraved on foreign artifacts.
Answer:
The carving on the slit drum is representative of British rule over African territories.
Explanation:
At the time of imperialism, it was common for the British empire to add the crown emblem close to the national symbols of the territories it conquered to show English control in this region and the submission of conquered peoples. This historical fact is exemplified in the text above, where the narrator states that the British crown emblem was added near the bush calf Kitchener syrup, which was a strong symbol of African territories.
Based on the information given in the excerpt, the historical significance that can be drawn from this information is that carving on the slit drum is representative of British rule over African territories.
Historical significance.From the information given, it can be seen that at the time of imperialism, it was common for the British empire to add the crown emblem close to the national symbols of the territories that it has conquered

account of Mark Twain’s experiences as a riverboat captain.
I soon discovered two things. One was that a vessel would not be likely to sail for the mouth of the Amazon under ten or twelve years; and the other was that the nine or ten dollars still left in my pocket would not suffice for so imposing an exploration as I had planned, even if I could afford to wait for a ship. Therefore it followed that I must contrive a new career. The "Paul Jones” was now bound for St. Louis. I planned a siege against my pilot, and at the end of three hard days he surrendered. He agreed to teach me the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis for five hundred dollars, payable out of the first wages I should receive after graduating. I entered upon the small enterprise of "learning” twelve or thirteen hundred miles of the great Mississippi River with the easy confidence of my time of life. If I had really known what I was about to require of my faculties, I should not have had the courage to begin. I supposed that all a pilot had to do was to keep his boat in the river, and I did not consider that that could be much of a trick, since it was so wide.
Which statement best summarizes the passage?
Twain feels confident about learning the Mississippi River.
Twain finds that piloting a riverboat is not as easy as it looks.
Twain convinces his pilot to teach him how to navigate a riverboat.
Twain is concerned about not having enough money to survive.
