Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by
Susan E. Quinlan.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used
Answer:
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls
Explanation:
This is true due to the starting statement in the opening percepts about the gull and how difficult it happens to be to capture it. For Larry to be able to succeed, he has no other option than to improvise. He did this by "He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole."

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg.
We thought American business was the Rock of Gibraltar. We were the prosperous nation, and nothing could stop us now. A brownstone house was forever. You gave it to your kids and they put marble fronts on it. There was a feeling of continuity. If you made it, it was there forever. Suddenly the big dream exploded. The impact was unbelievable.
How do Harburg's words reflect the experience of many Americans during the Great Depression?
Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.
Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
Like Harburg, many were grateful for the lessons they learned from the Depression.
Like Harburg, many made meticulous plans to prepare for the Depression.
Answer:
Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
Explanation:
The excerpt shown in the question above shows that Americans saw the United States as a country so prosperous and successful that it was constantly growing and had a path of success that would go on for years. This prosperity caused Americans to be extremely surprised by the arrival of the Great Depression, as they did not believe that an empire like the one the United States had established could be swept up in ashes and reached the brink of misery overnight, as happened with the collapse of the steel market.
The correct and suitable answer from the given passage is like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
The main vision is to show that the country like America is growing so fast and developing in all the stages due to which the American were growing automatically and the job opportunity were so high and citizen were going too.

Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process through which plants produce sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis can also take place in single-celled organisms like phytoplankton and other microorganisms.
The process of photosynthesis occurs differently from one organism to the next, but several features remain the same. In short, photosynthesis takes in water and carbon dioxide, uses sunlight as a catalyst, and produces oxygen and sugar. The plants release the oxygen through respiration. They digest or store the sugar.
Although the process seems simple, it is the most important event on the planet as far as animal life is concerned. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process. Herbivores live off these fruits and vegetables and form the basis of any food chain. Carnivores and omnivores would not be able to find food if it were not for these sugars. Were it not for the simple process of photosynthesis, the Earth would be an uninhabited planet.
Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process.
How does this sentence help to develop the idea that photosynthesis is essential to animal life?
A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
B. It suggests that photosynthesis occurs in all animals.
C. It suggests that photosynthesis takes place in the lungs.
D. It shows that animals depend on this process for food.
The answer is A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
Photosynthesis is how Carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) is turned into Oxygen (what we breathe in)
If Photosynthesis never took place Oxygen would run out and animals would suffocate.

how is this story similar to the flood story from the bible?
Answer:
The Epic of Gilgamesh has been of interest to Christians ever since its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century in the ruins of the great library at Nineveh, with its account of a universal flood with significant parallels to the Flood of Noah's day.1, 2 The rest of the Epic, which dates back to possibly third millennium B.C., contains little of value for Christians, since it concerns typical polytheistic myths associated with the pagan peoples of the time. However, some Christians have studied the ideas of creation and the afterlife presented in the Epic. Even secular scholars have recognized the parallels between the Babylonian, Phoenician, and Hebrew accounts, although not all are willing to label the connections as anything more than shared mythology.3

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

(2-3 sentences) Describe this character and his/her contribution to the farm. (2-3 sentences) What makes this character important? (1-2 sentences) What’s the theme for this character and why is it important? (2-3 sentences)
Answer:
What is a theme and why is it important? Well, a theme is the message that the author is trying to convey throughout the story. It is important because the theme is one of the reasons why the author wrote it in the first place. "Animal Farm", a novella written by George Orwell, tells a story of a group of animals from Manor farm who rebel against their human farm owner. There are several characters in which their actions developed themes throughout the novel such as Squealer and Napoleon. Both characters' actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption".
First, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "using language as an instrument to abuse power". One of the author's focal concerns in the novel is the way language can be used as an instrument of control. In the novella, Squealer is known to be manipulative for he is a vastly persuasive speaker. He uses language to make the animals doubt what they have witnessed firsthand and to accept and believe the falsehoods that Squealer tells them. According to the text, ""You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples."" This tells the readers that Squealer is quite good at making others agree on his beliefs. Napoleon is also one of the characters that demonstrates this theme. Although he is not a gifted speaker, he is still known for getting his ways. In the novella, Napoleon seemed to possess the trust of the animals. According to the text, it states, ""Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!"" This tells the readers that Napoleon was blaming Snowball which then led to the animals believing what Napoleon said for one of the characters, Boxer, claimed that "Napoleon is always right."
Second, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "corruption". The novella consists a lot of foreshadowing in which it creates the sense that the events of the story are unavoidable. the novella also unequivocally recommend that some other conceivable ruler would have been as terrible as Napoleon. According to the text, ""Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer—except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."" This tells the readers that this is a form of corruption for it says that the farm had gotten richer while the animals, except for the pigs and the dogs, were left with nothing. In addition, Squealer demonstrates this theme for he represents the propaganda arm of the controlling class, which are the pigs. He usually takes the truth and spin it to create false accusations on Snowball or the others, to show that Napoleon has no flaws. According to the text, "the others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white." This tells the readers that Squealer is quite capable in manipulating anyone of anything. Napoleon uses this skill for his own benefits.
In conclusion, both Napoleon and Squealer's actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption". This is because both characters work together to be able to manipulate the other animals. They also take advantage of the other animals which then makes them corrupt and evil. In the novella, Squealer is talented in persuading and manipulating others. Napoleon on the other hand is not very gifted in speaking but is quite intimidating. Both in which are a result of them demonstrating the two themes.
It should be noted that Animal Farm was written by George Orwell and it was a story about a group of animals that rebelled against their owners.
A theme simply means the main idea that's conveyed in a story. In the novel, the theme of using language as an instrument that can be used to abuse power was demonstrated by Napoleon and Squealer. In their case, it can be deduced that Squealer was manipulative and a persuasive speaker.
Also, the theme of corruption was demonstrated in the novel. In this case, Squealer was corrupt and was known for lying. He was good at manipulating others.
Lastly, the theme of unity was demonstrated. The animals united before taking over power from the farm owners.

Read the excerpt from " Crossing Brooklyn Ferry." Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd, Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh'd, Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried, Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm'd pipes of steamboats, I look'd. How is this excerpt representative of free verse?
Answer and Explanation:
"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" is the poem by Walt Whitman that made him a pioneer of free verse. Free verse happens when a poem does not follow any rules for meter or rhyme schemes. Let's take a look at the excerpt provided:
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm’d pipes of steamboats, I
look’d.
Each line has a different length, so to speak. It is clear that Whitman had no concern for the number of syllables and the rhythm to be the same in each line. When we look at the last word or sound of the lines, we notice the same lack of concern for them to be similar or equal. We can tell there is the repetition of the phoneme /t/ at the end of each last word, but that is not enough to characterize rhyming. This is why this excerpt is a representative of free verse.

Explanation:
Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.
In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.
However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:

People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.
BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.
Answer:
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
Explanation:
BACE2 accelerates the reaction that breaks the fragments of abnormal proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease. With that, this enzyme is able to quickly cut these proteins, called beta-amyloid, into pieces so tiny that it takes the entire molecule to complete destruction. This is very innovative for the treatment of alzheimer's, although much research needs to be done to improve this process and not cause side effects.
