Answer:
When pressing a solid material it can take a different shape or change in size, however when bending a solid material this does not happen.
Explanation:
Solid state materials at a certain temperature are characterized by:
present a high cohesion between the molecules that form it (the particles are united by very high attractive forces that make them remain almost fixed) have a constant shape and volume often forming characteristic geometric structures such as crystalline structures they are incompressible are resistant to fragmentation they do not have fluidity because the particles can only vibrate around fixed positions
A flexible material cannot be molded and only accepts shape changes when bending.
You do not get new materials when pressing a solid material.
The solid materials take the different shapes or sizes when it is pressed. The solid materials do not change the shape or size in bending.
The solid-state materials at some level of temperature:
Contain a high cohesion among the molecules that make them united at high force and thus they remain fixed. It also has a constant shape and volume such as crystalline structures. The solid materials are incompressible and lack fluidity because the particles of the materials vibrate in a fixed position.A fixed solid material cannot be molded and can only accept the changes in shapes when blended. The solid materials are so hard that they cannot be pressed and if pressed, they do not change the shape or size.Therefore the solid material can be bent but not pressed due to its hard nature.

from the details in this passage, choose the inference that dickens most likely wants readers to make about the members of the board in charge of the workhouse
Answer:
Charles Dickens commonly used his writings to make the public aware of how boys where being abused under the current child labor laws in England. Dickens specifically uses Oliver being placed in a workhouse to create sympathy for the real life conditions that many children faced at the time that Oliver Twist was written. In many ways, Dickens used his writings as a social satire for the times.
Answer:
Workhouses were nineteenth-century institutions that provided food, lodging, and employment for the poor. However, they were excellent examples of the moral hypocrisy of the upper and middle classes.
The members of this board were very sage, deep, philosophical men; and when they came to turn their attention to the workhouse, they found out at once, what ordinary folks would never have discovered—the poor people liked it! It was a regular place of public entertainment for the poorer classes; a tavern where there was nothing to pay; a public breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper all the year round; a brick and mortar elysium, where it was all play and no work.

He is always so late and tonight the day we got together!.” Emilie said. “Hey I’m here!” Luke said. “Babe you’re late.” Emilie said. “I know but, I will make it up tonight;)” He said. “EWWWW! Get a room.” I rolled my eyes. “Speaking of guys where is your boy toy. You have been together for 2 years, he shouldn’t be late, Arizona.” Emilie said. “I know but, he is so caught up in football and grades and- “I got cut off. “You miss me?” My boyfriend showed himself. “No, we didn’t” Emilie said. “Come on guys let’s get going into the scariest haunted house of all time.” I said. “Y’all first” I said. We went in. Then it was over. “That was terrifying” I said. “Yeah” they all agreed. “Let’s go walk around babe.” I said. “Ok” he said. “Bye!” I said. “Bye bestie!” My best friend said. It was a normal and fun as a festival until we got into my car. He got cut in the throat. I ran out of that car and started running somewhere. We were the only ones really there because it was 1 am. I somehow found Emilie and Luke. I told them. They didn’t belive but then, we saw a person but, they had a mask on. The mask looked like pig skin and he or she was wearing a yellow jumpsuit. We ran for our lives. We stopped and hid. I hid in the bushes, Emilie hid with jake behind a clown poster. We heard footsteps. Then a scream. I looked over and saw Luke with a spear going through his stomach. The killer must have hit from the back. Me and Emilie ran and got in her car. We went to the police office. The next day (We got no sleep that night) the police went and saw the bodies. Our parents were horrified.

Answer:
Character Description and Relationships with Other Characters
Orsino
He is the lovesick duke of Illyria. Orsino is a noble man but lacks the courage to directly woo his lady, Olivia. He is melancholy and despondent. Orsino uses Cesario (Viola in disguise) as a go-between to convey his messages to Olivia. He is unaware that Viola is actually in love with him.
Olivia
Olivia is a countess (a lady of high social rank). She is proud and dignified. Following the death of her brother, she became the head of her household. She has gone into a self-imposed seclusion of seven years to mourn her brother. She scorns Duke Orsino and spurns his moves to impress her. Nevertheless, she succumbs to the charms of Cesario (Viola in disguise), the messenger from Orsino’s court. This situation creates a complicated love triangle in which Orsino loves Olivia, Olivia loves Cesario (Viola), and Viola loves Orsino.
Viola
Viola, the play’s protagonist, is a young lady of noble birth who finds herself on the shores of Illyria after a shipwreck. She is told that her twin brother, Sebastian, was not found after the shipwreck. Viola must fend for herself in a strange land. Therefore, she decides to disguise herself as a man named Cesario and serves as a page to Duke Orsino. She falls in love with him but is unable to express her feelings because she is disguised. Throughout the play, she handles difficult situations effectively and emerges as an intelligent, resourceful, and strong woman.
Sebastian
Sebastian is Viola’s twin brother who was lost in the shipwreck. He is saved by Antonio, a sea-captain who becomes his devoted friend. Sebastian is often mistaken as Cesario in the course of the play. He is a loving brother and has a penchant for adventure.
Antonio
Antonio is a sea-captain who saved Sebastian after the shipwreck. He takes on the responsibility of safeguarding Sebastian in Illyria. Antonio comes upon Viola disguised as Cesario in the duel scene and thinks that she is Sebastian. He is a loyal and devoted friend.
Malvolio
Malvolio is the steward in Olivia’s household. He has ambitions of climbing the social ladder by marrying Olivia. He is a puritan who abhors merrymaking, is vain, and is self-absorbed. Malvolio is immersed in self-love. As a steward, he is always berating those who are lower in rank than he is. People hate him for his condescending attitude toward them. He is at odds with Sir Toby, who is a compulsive drinker. Maria, Sir Toby, and Andrew Aguecheek trick Malvolio into making a fool of himself in front of Olivia.
Maria
Maria is a maid in Olivia’s household. She does not like Sir Toby’s drinking habit but dislikes Malvolio more. She writes the letter that causes Malvolio to appear in yellow cross garters in front of Olivia and act like a madman. Maria is sharp tongued and witty. She is also the love-interest of Sir Toby.
Sir Toby Belch
He is Olivia’s uncle who drinks and whiles away his time in the company of Andrew Aguecheek. This behavior earns Sir Toby the disapproval of Malvolio. Sir Toby, in turn, conspires to insult Malvolio. He comes across as a careless and irresponsible person who loves to play practical jokes.
Andrew Aguecheek
He is Sir Toby Belch’s favorite drinking partner. He is an aristocrat who earns three thousand ducats a year. He is not very intelligent and is gullible enough to be manipulated by Sir Toby. Sir Andrew Aguecheek also tries to woo Olivia, but she rejects him.
Feste
Feste is the clown in Olivia’s household. His duty is to entertain people with his antics. Feste has the freedom to say what he likes. He has a way with words and indulges in punning. Feste is also the aloof observer who makes precise comments on the behavior of other characters. He points out their folly and entertains them at the same time. He is the typical Shakespearean fool, with great insight into human nature.
Valentine
He is a servant in Orsino’s court.
Curio
He is an attendant in Orsino’s court.
Fabian He is a servant in Olivia’s household and is party to the conspiracy against Malvolio.

At the time of this speech, why did America fear communism? What did communism represent to the American people and why? How did history influence this fear?
Answer:
False Information
Explanation:
The majority of Americans have been brainwashed into thinking capitalism benefits them. They believed Communism was too "totalitarian" and would not allow people to decide the government. In the 1950s the fear of communism was called the Red Scare. Communism is great I don't understand why they fear it. Even though communism is not perfect it it better than the system we have today which only benefits the rich and oppresses the poor
This is because a vast majority of Americans have been duped into believing that capitalism is in their best interests. They considered Communism to be too "totalitarian," preventing the people from choosing their own leaders. The Red Scare, or dread of communism, was a phenomenon of the 1950s.
What is Communism?Public ownership and social management over at least the main means of production (such as mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society are the goals of communism, a political and economic theory.
Thus, communism is a kind of socialism—a better and more developed version, in the opinion of its proponents. While the exact differences between socialism and communism have long been debated, the communists' dedication to Karl Marx's revolutionary socialism is a major factor in making this distinction.

Sand hill cranes flapped their wings

Searching for the traces of her father
He had tilled the ground only in the summer
Telling her about the perennials

A writer is working on a research paper about whether schools should ban junk food or not. One of the paragraphs in his paper reads:
The article “Junk Food in Schools: Should Schools Restrict the Sale of Junk Food?” provides an overview of some concerns related to the food available to many school students: “Having junk food in schools, proponents contend, contradicts the message that parents, teachers and administrators are trying to impart to students—that eating good food is the key to good health. That message is undercut when unhealthy foods are so readily available, and have been approved by schools themselves, they argue. ‘We talk a lot about healthy nutrition, we teach the kids about the food pyramid, and then they go down the hallway and get the high fat, high sodium and high junk available in the vending machines,’ Senator Murkowski told the New York Times” (“Junk Food”). But this isn’t true. In my high school we didn’t have any vending machines.
This paragraph effectively relates the writer’s source material to his ideas about junk food.
Answer:

Out of Place
“Ben bunu yapmayacağım . . . I will not do that. He can’t have my shoes, he stole my guitar!” Erkan’s eyes looked impudent beneath his dark brow as his cheeks reddened in fury. His gray-whiskered lips trembled as his hand gripped tightly around the nurse’s wrist. The nurse carefully but firmly freed himself from Erkan’s grasp. He then turned to the caregiver who was assisting him, smiled, and said calmly, “Go get Michelle.”
Michelle was scanning boxes of gauze bandages and stacking them onto a shelf in the storeroom when the caregiver came in and announced, “Phillip’s trying to get Erkan to take a shower and he needs your help.” Michelle rushed out of the store room and down the hall to Erkan’s room.
This was the last week of Michelle’s internship. It was her junior year, and the internship was part of her “Workplace and Consumer Education” class. At first she wanted to intern at her dad’s gas station, but her teacher told her she needed to branch out and signed Michelle up at the Oakcourt Nursing Home, only 15 minutes away from her house.
Wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers sweatshirt and jeans, with dark curls pushed back in a hair clip, Michelle stood out from the crowd of nurses and caregivers in white pants and polo shirts who were standing huddled in the doorway of Erkan’s room. She moved past them and rushed to Erkan’s side. As soon as he saw her, Erkan’s face brightened and he stopped looking like a stricken animal and instead looked like someone who recognized a dear old friend.
“He can’t have them, Michelle. I sold them at the corner,” Erkan shouted, pushing his way to Michelle. “He stole my guitar,” he whispered.
“I know, Erkan, but he was only trying to help you get some money to pay for your trip.” Michelle had been frightened by a lot of the residents of the nursing home when she first started the beginning of the semester. Many of them were incoherent and loud, and some could be very aggressive and scary. Erkan often pushed or kicked and ranted. Michelle had started to regret this internship, and she even avoided going near Erkan’s room whenever possible. “He lives in his own world,” Philip, the managing nurse, explained to Michelle after her first encounter with Erkan’s temper.
Still, Michelle had been curious, and she felt sorry that Erkan had a bad reputation among the staff. She too had felt like everyone mistrusted her—especially at the nursing home where she was so much younger than the rest of the staff—so she understood how he must feel. Besides, he was the only person in the whole place with skin nearly as dark as hers.
Over time, she noticed patterns in Erkan’s rants: He would sometimes mention his guitar and his father and the city of Diyarbakir, which she learned is in Turkey. So she decided that the next time she brought supplies to his room, instead of avoiding Erkan, she would play along with whatever he said. If he lived in his own world, then she would try to join him there. Bit by bit, she discovered that he had immigrated to the United States from Turkey when he was very young. His father had saved as much money as possible to pay for his journey, but he needed to sell Erkan’s guitar to help cover the cost. Erkan had moved in with his aunt’s family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and finished school there. Eventually he got married, had children of his own, and worked for years signing Turkish singers to a small record label. But he’d never quite felt at home in the United States.
“I know he sold your guitar, but you told me yourself he just wants what’s best for you,” Michelle said, while Philip and the caregiver looked on in amazement as Erkan settled into an armchair. “Now why don’t you listen to Philip, take your shoes off, and have a shower?”
“For you, Michelle, I’ll do it.”
You can feel out of place in a country, in the place where you live, or even in your own head, Michelle thought. But if you’re lucky, someone will know how to find you and remind you that we all feel that way sometimes.
