what do you if you stay in a homeless camp for a few nights

Read the excerpt from a short story. I stood against the far wall of the shabby lobby avoiding eye contact with the doorman as my dad checked us in for the night. We’d hoped to make it as far as scranton, but the weather had interfered, leaving us instead at an eyesore of a truck-stop motel. My ear buds were jammed in as far as comfort would allow in a vain attempt to block out the motel’s vibe. Still, i could not ignore the looming presence of the doorman. He stood in the dim portico, sweeping and re-sweeping a pile of lint on the floor, watching the parking lot with his watery eyes, and occasionally signaling to the whiskered clerk behind the desk. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?.

Today, we are living on a planet that is frequently changing. Some of these changes are caused by natural processes, but many believe these changes in climate are a direct result of human activity. Luckily, we have the power to make small changes to reduce the impact on our planet. Every day, we throw away garbage that releases harmful toxins into the air, land, and water. One way you can prevent harmful pollutants is by composting. Composting is the process by which organic materials, such as fruit, vegetables, eggshells, tea, and many other foods, are broken down, recycled, and used as a fertilizer. As a fertilizer, compost provides rich nutrients to the soil. It is very beneficial to your gardens, as it nourishes your plants and flowers and helps them bloom more frequently. It is very easy to start composting. All you need is a wooden or plastic compost bin and the organic matter to put in it! Composting helps the environment because it reduces the amount of waste in landfills, reduces pollution, and prevents soil erosion. Take a stand, and help make the planet we live on a healthier place.

In the United States, plants change depending on where they are located. Plants in the northern states must survive harsh, cold winters. These plants tend to lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter in order to use less energy. That way, when spring comes around, they are able to grow and thrive again. Plants in the southern states will go through changes, too, although they are not as noticeable. Plants grow less, and leaves might change colors. However, their leaves do not normally drop off. Plants in the southern states experience a significantly longer growing season compared to the ones in northern states. This is because of the warmer temperatures, increased precipitation, and longer periods of sun. Ultimately, plants adapt to seasonal changes due to where they are located.

Which piece of evidence best supports the author's point that how a plant changes seasonally depends on where it is located? (1 point)

Shaving was not an easy task, for his hand continued to shake very much; and shaving requires attention, even when you don’t dance while you are at it. But if he had cut the end of his nose off, he would have put a piece of sticking-plaister over it, and been quite satisfied.

A.
His laughter shows that he now enjoys his status as a rich man in his community.
B.
He is nervous about having to face Christmas celebrations.
C.
He is excited because of his newfound joy in life and the company of others.
D.
He is giddy because of the plan he has formed to trick the townspeople.
