Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change.

Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.

When Stacey and Carlos returned to the office, Carlos eyed his notepad thoughtfully. Perhaps it was time to add variety into his predictable routine. He opened the notepad to a fresh page and began to draw an office building that reached beyond the clouds.

Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.

Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.

Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.

In both texts, the characters learn about the importance of trying new things. What is different about the main character's choices in each story?

One character tries something new and likes it while the other character tries a new activity and does not like it.
One character refuses to try anything new and is sad about it while the other character tries something new eagerly.
One character is mad when someone suggests trying something new while the other character is sad when challenged.
One character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example.

Answer 1

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

One character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example.

Please give brainliest! :)

Answer 2

The excerpt is all about the trying of new things that can be an adventure or a simple meal. As in both texts, the characters learn about the importance of trying new things, but one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example, i.e., option D.

What is in the excerpt Time for a Change?

The exact meaning of Time for a Change is the things should be changed and it is sort of mandatory to be changed now.

Here, both the characters are changing their choices and overcoming their fear of trying something new.

The only difference between them is that one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example.

Thus, the correct option is D.

Critics might say that smartphones in the classroom cause too many distractions. A 2009 article in Education Magazine made just such a claim. Although cell phones can certainly cause distractions, current research suggests that teachers and students are putting phones to better use. A 2013 Educator Insider poll reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom. The poll lists Internet access, spell checks, and collaboration as three key uses of smart phones in an educational setting.

How does the author handle the counterclaim?

a
The author chooses to concede the point and offers no rebuttal.
b
The author offers an opinion discounting the counterclaim.
c
The author ignores the counterclaim and avoids responding.

Sonnet XII

by William Shakespeare

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Explanation:

I need a counterargument to why smoking in public should be illegal.

Answers

The economic activities generated from the production and consumption of tobacco produce huge tax revenues for most governments as well as employment in the tobacco industry. Thus by banning smoking public, it reduces the number of smokers and thus the industry goes away.

Banning people from smoking in public is a violation of one’s personal liberty as people should have the autonomy to decide on what kind of lifestyle they will have.

Hope that helps!

Public smoking bans seem to be tremendously effective in reducing heart attack and, theoretically, might also help to prevent lung cancer and emphysema, diseases that develop much more slowly than heart attacks. The cardiac benefits increased with longer ban duration



Smoking bans lead to fewer smokers in general

Every year smoking is responsible for 700.000 premature deaths in Europe due to increased risks of cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. To protect citizens from toxic tobacco smoke all EU countries have introduced smoke-free environments, as recommended by the European Council in 2009. This has led to 1.9 million less smokers in the UK alone in the first 10 years since the introduction of the bans.

1. Smoking bans take away people’s freedom

Smoking bans can be seen as an infringement of freedom of choice. Smoking is a legal habit, and 28% of European adults are regular smokers, yet they cannot freely choose where they would like to enjoy their cigarette.

2. Reduces the risk of passive smoking

Toxic fumes don’t only affect the person actively smoking a cigarette – there are significant health risks associated with second-hand smoke as well. Worldwide, second-hand smoke causes more than 1.2 million premature deaths per year. Smoking bans in public places significantly reduce the exposure of non-smokers to toxic fumes.

2. Smoking bans are bad for business

It used to be commonplace for people to smoke in pubs and clubs. But when smoking bans are enforced in public places such as these, smokers seek other places where they can smoke in peace. That means fewer customers and lower profits for pub and club owners.

3. Healthcare costs fall

Smoking is expensive – not just for smokers themselves, but for the general public as well. It is estimated that the treatment of smoking-related diseases, productivity losses to the EU economy and premature mortality amount to €544 billion losses in one year in the EU. By reducing the number of active and passive smokers, smoking bans could thus save European healthcare systems a lot of money.

3. Less tax revenue for governments

There are high taxes on tobacco throughout Europe, though the precise percentage of taxation varies between member states. In this way, governments make a lot of money. If smoking bans lead to fewer cigarette sales, that could mean that governments have reduced revenues from tobacco taxes.

What is the last paragraph?

Similar to how your body paragraphs' final phrases properly wrap up each one, your conclusion paragraph should logically complete your essay. After restating your thesis in the closing paragraph, widen the discussion once more to a general subject. Lastly, make a remark to close.

The final paragraph of the essay is the conclusion. The thesis statement is restated in this concluding paragraph, which also serves to remind the reader of the essay's main points.

"In conclusion," would be a suitable transition to be inserted at the beginning of the last paragraph, as it indicates that the writer is about to summarize their main points and wrap up their argument.

Thus, the ideal selection is option A.

What is women's suffrage?

The right for women to vote in elections is known as women's suffrage. Some individuals began pushing for changes to the voting laws to let women to vote at the beginning of the 18th century.

Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections. Beginning in the start of the 18th century, some people sought to change voting laws to allow women to vote.

Following the passage of the 19th Amendment, liberal political parties would offer women the right to vote, expanding their potential voter bases.

We see that there was a period when women weren't allowed to vote or be voted for. But the women's suffrage movement helped to change the narrative.

A Flag with 50 Stars

The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.

In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.

The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A.

A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint toward Bob Heft in “A Flag with 50 Stars”?

Bob should not have contacted a member of Congress about a trivial matter.

Bob was not a very good student at Lancaster High School.

Bob should not have spent so much time on his project.

Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.

Answers

Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.


A) is incorrect, as the passage takes a generally positive attitude towards his success. There is no particular part of the passage that expresses negative sentiment towards his actions.

B) is incorrect, as the author does not mention anything about Bob's grades other than the passing mention of his less than satisfactory mark on the flag assignment. It is not the main focus of the passage.

C) is incorrect, as Bob's success gives justification for his long work time. In addition, the author does not make any sort of derogatory mark towards his efforts.

D) is correct. As Bob had received only a B for his hard efforts, yet his flag had actually been selected to represent the US in a real-life setting (proving the highest mark of distinction), the grade did not reflect the end of the story.

Answer:

Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.
