Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuation:

Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for...

It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big, bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates.

I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me.

The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood.

I was in total darkness now and I strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bag, and then I was being impersonally hauled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming.

I stumbled some, then a hand pushed my head down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me.

"Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard Jolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt, too. My head rang like a gong.

"Hey," I said to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flag you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no idea how much of this was making it through the muffling bag. I kept talking. "Listen—this is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital—"

Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something—it was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the head before. My eyes swam and watered and I literally couldn't breathe through the pain. A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson.

In three to five sentences, explain Marcus' current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are: (20 points)

Identity Diffusion occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals.
Identity Foreclosure occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities.
Identity Moratorium occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment.
Identity Achievement occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:     Identity Moratorium because the narrator has been kidnapped and at first he called out to  his friends for help, not knowing they had been kidnapped as well. When he was pushed into the car, he again tried to call to his friends, but was silenced. Then, he tried talking to his captors, thinking this was all a big misunderstanding. (I wanna read this book! It sounds interesting. What's it called? Also, I hope this helps!)

What is an adjective?

An adjective is a part of speech that can be used to describe or provide more information about a noun or pronoun that acts as the subject of a sentence. Adjectives are found after the verb or before the noun it modifies.

Traditionally, adjectives were considered one of the main parts of speech in the English language, although historically they were classed together with nouns. Nowadays, certain words that usually had been classified as adjectives, including this, my, etc., typically are classed separately, as determiners. The adjective comes from the Latin nōmen adjectīvum.

In the grammatical tradition of Latin and Greek, because adjectives were inflected for gender, number, and case-like nouns they were considered a type of noun.

I blinked with a light wag that came from my tail, the long obnoxious thing thumping wildly from wall to wall while I patiently waited. It was a Thursday morning, and my owner had decided to let me out for a quick bathroom break. Birds sang from the other side of the door, the strong scent of a passing storm traveling through my snout. My eyes lit up with excitement, luminescent light from the bulb above made my silver fur shining brightly with it. It had been nearly a good minute while my owner stared down something from afar. Another furry looking animal had stood on my territory, my yard! I knocked my head at the door to attempt my escape, but my beloved owner had already done it for me. How nice of them!

As soon as that door opened, I began in hot pursuit towards the animal, lifting my wet paws to stomp at it. I know that most of us dog species would be most definitely angry to see another animal on its territory, but I couldn't help but smack my paws down and raise my bum, barking playfully. It was scared, almost frozen in place from such a scare until a reaction I never thought had existed, done right in my face! Instead of returning my kind gesture with another, they dared to stick their bum into my face, tail abnormally standing tall on its own.

Some nasty stench had entered my nostrils, sending shivers of disgust up my spine. I quickly retracted from the animal with white stripes, whimpers, and whines escaping through my gritting teeth while I ran towards the back door, Yet my owner just shut me out! I continued to bark in distress, begging to come inside. When my owner brought over mother, they called that thing a "Skunk," which I kept in mind. The "Skunk" had passed gas in my face, which needed special treatment. The smell had gone away after they showered me with tomato guts, though it was a rude and disgusting thing that the "Skunk" did, I still would love to see it again!

There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.

What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.

Answer:

"He is all pine and I am apple orchard."

Explanation:

I believe this line suggests that the speaker and his neighbor are quite different. This is first pointed out when we find the speaker and the neighbor own very different types of tree. But that's not all; I believe it goes deeper than just the difference between their trees. Let's first take a look at the pine tree. Pine trees have pokey needles and sharp-spined pine cones, which may be a reference to the neighbor's attitude. Whereas apple orchards bear sweet apples, much like the speaker's attitude in this excerpt.

B:praise

Explanation:

took test on edge 2020

We can fill in the blank with the word "praise" saying, "My teacher heaped praise on me for my research project about the civil rights movement."

Why is "praise" the best option?

First, let's define each of the options given:

Preys - The plural form of "prey", which refers to an animal that is hunted.Praise - A compliment; a good thing said to or about someone.Praize - This word does not exist.Prays - Third-person singular of the verb "to pray".

After reading the sentence, we can assume by its context that the teacher was happy about the student's research. Therefore, the teacher most likely complimented that student, that is, praised him.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B, "praise" as the best answer to fill in the blank.

In conclusion, the society in "Harrison Bergeron" is one where everyone is made equal through various handicaps. This results in a dystopian world where no one is allowed to be exceptional, and everyone is forced to be the same.
