Miranda sat in the high school computer lab typing like mad. It was 8:30 a.m., and her 1,000-word report on The Catcher in the Rye was due at 9:00. For the past hour, she had been flipping through the ratty pages of the old paperback trying to discern the major plot points and then typing out a few sentences that she hoped were logical. The only reason she was able to get into the lab that early was because she was one of Mrs. Brody’s assistants, but a couple of hours in the lab didn’t make up for weeks of zoning out in English class.

Miranda could kick herself, but she was too busy skimming through her notes and attempting to remember something—anything!—that Mr. Giuffreda had talked about. Mr. Giuffreda was a tough grader, and Miranda did not work well under pressure—not a great combination. On top of all that, Miranda could hear her mother’s voice in her head: “One more bad grade in English, young lady, and no more soccer team.” Miranda failed to see the relationship between soccer and book reports, but she also knew her mother wasn’t kidding. When she had slacked off in geometry last semester, her mother had taken away her cell phone for a month. Another time, when Miranda had missed her curfew—again and again—she had gotten grounded for two weeks.

Still typing, Miranda thought about Mr. Giuffreda. He expected nothing but the best—and then some. He never gave extensions unless someone had a family emergency, and he had a terrible habit of brushing off even the most creative excuses. Anyway, Miranda didn’t need an extra day or two. She needed time to read the entire novel again. Miranda ran a word count—361. She checked her watch—8:45. She flipped to the end of the book trying desperately to remember the ending, but nothing was coming to her. Why hadn’t she paid attention?

At 8:55, she had a whopping, miraculous 402 words. The homeroom bell had rung five minutes ago, and students were filing into the lab for first period. Miranda’s fingers were still flying, but by 8:59, Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave so she could start class on time. Miranda saved her work on her USB drive, collected her pages from the printer, and slung her knapsack over her shoulder. Then she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffreda’s class as slowly as possible, even though she knew she would be late and would probably get detention.
What can be inferred from the passage?


A.

Miranda will no longer be Mrs. Brody's assistant.

B.

Miranda did not finish her book report on time.

C.

Miranda usually does a lot better in English class.

D.

Miranda will ask Mr. Giuffreda for an extension.

Explanation:

The weeds are followed by the city's most prolific exotic
species, the Chinese ailanthus tree. Even with 8 million
people around, ailanthus-otherwise innocently known as
the tree-of-heaven-are implacable invaders capable of
rooting in tiny chinks in subway tunnels, unnoticed until
their spreading leaf canopies start poking from sidewalk
grates. With no one to yank their seedlings, within five
years powerful ailanthus roots are heaving up sidewalks
and wreaking havoc in sewers.
Which statement best explains how irony is used in the passage ?

Answers

The correct answer is D. Weed tree that wreaks havoc on the environment is referred to favorably as the "tree-of-heaven."

Explanation:

Irony occurs when the outcome in a situation is not the one expected or words have an opposite meaning to the literal meaning. In the excerpt, there is irony because the three known as the "tree-of-heaven" in China is an invasive and harmful species. This can be seen in "implacable invaders capable of rooting in tiny chinks in subway tunnels" and in "heaving up sidewalks and wreaking havoc in sewers" that shows the power the tree has to invade spaces and destroy structures despite the name suggests the tree is positive. This means there is an incongruence between the expectations about the tree and the reality. Thus, the statement that explains irony is statement D.

C. The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loses it

D. The friendship between Gil and Victor never recovers after their
terrible fight.

Answers

Answer: The answers C

Explanation:

The ending that would be the most ironic in the given scene would be:

C). The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loses it  while he is fighting Gil.

'Irony' is described as the literary device in which the author implies an entirely opposite meaning of what he/she writes or states. In the context of the given situation, the ending that would be most appropriate to make it ironic would involve 'Victor having cash all the time...yet he drops it while battling gill.' In this ending, the opposite happens of what is expected(that Victor has the cash till last) for concluding the scene in the text.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Helping someone does not always mean giving them something material. You can help by giving them your attention, your time, your love. Here are ten ways you can render a helping hand to others - siblings, friends, classmates, parents and teacher:

1. Listening to them when they need to talk;

2. Leading by example;

3. Talking to them in a non-judgmental way;

4. Asking them them about their lives and truly listen for problems;

5. Helping them with chores, tasks, homework – anything, either big or small;

6. Letting them know they are special and unique the way they are;

7. Sharing life experiences and teaching them what I know;

8. Empathizing with their pain and helping to find solutions;

9. Telling them the truth and being committed to their well-being at all times;

10. Being present during difficult situations, even if there is  nothing I can do.

Here is a poem to reflect a tribute of gratitude. It can address a family member, a friend, a boy/girlfriend. Feel free to edit if you wish to make it more personal:

My heart is filled with joy and love

My mouth pours words of gratitude

My hands crave for the moment when they will pay back

The moment when I will reciprocate

You might never understand

What it meant, how it felt

It felt like love

It felt like I was seen

It felt like I was important

I thank you

But that is not enough

May your days always be bright and warm

But if ever cloudy skies threaten to dim your light

I will be there to repay your kindness

Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s "The American Dream" speech.

In a real sense, we must all learn to live together as brothers, or we will all perish together as fools.

Now read the excerpt from the Governor George Wallace statement.

The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . and uniting in effort . . has been so twisted and distorted from its original concept . . .

What technique makes the two excerpts effective when used together?

the use of credibility
the appeal to emotion
the use of counterclaims
the appeal to ethics

Answers

Answer:

C. Counterclaim

Explanation:

The option of ethics and credibility would be the same thing. they are both the ethos.

Emotion don't fit because there isn't an emotional argument/statement being made.

The use of counterclaims technique makes the two excerpts effective when used together. The correct option is C.

What is a counterclaim in an argument?

A counterargument involves acknowledging opposing viewpoints and then restating your position. This is usually accomplished by first stating the opposing side's argument, followed by presenting your own as the most logical solution.

The technique that makes the two excerpts effective when used together is the use of counterclaims. The two excerpts present opposing views on the idea of brotherhood in America. Martin Luther King Jr.'s excerpt emphasizes the importance of living together as brothers, while George Wallace's excerpt suggests that respecting the separateness of others is crucial.

By presenting these contrasting viewpoints, the technique of counterclaims allows the audience to consider multiple perspectives and encourages critical thinking.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.
