Please Help!!! I will give brainliest 20 points!! here is the story: he Persistent Gardener It was Jilly's last day in the green house. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over. Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to. The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures. Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things. "We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside." It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly. "Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T. "I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing. "Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it. "That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget." "Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered. "Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said. Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge. "I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking." "You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you." "And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day. "My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants." Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint. Here are the questions: I Have a answer circled in I just need to verify That is why one is circled THX!!!

PLZZZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! Read the paragraph.

Violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence in our society. When children are bombarded with monstrous images, they begin to think that these types of actions are normal or acceptable. Children and teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and behave. Even if they do not perform violent actions, they may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others because of what they see reflected in these games.

What effect does the word bombarded have on the paragraph?

It emphasizes the author’s belief that violent video games are filled with excessive images of violence.
It suggests that the author is opposed to all types of video games that contain any hint of violence.
It reflects the author’s view that children and teenagers play violent video games for far too many hours.
It shows that the author blames all violence in the world on repeated exposure to violent video games.

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.

Select the correct answer.
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 will ask Mr. Giuffreda for an extension.
D. Miranda usually does a lot better in English class.

Which of the following conclusions can the reader make from the passage? A. Metal flumes are inserted in masonry chimneys to prevent birds, such as chimney swifts, from nesting in them B. Chimney swifts can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material C. Chimney swifts are nocturnal birds whose large numbers are evident in the size of their colonies D. Moving in large chipping flocks is a natural protection against predators Chimney swifts are small, slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many. They usually appear in North America during warm, summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized most often as spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. Chimney swifts can be seen most vividly at dusk when large colonies of hundreds, or even thousands of individuals form tornado-like funnels as they descend into the chimneys. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney swift populations have been declining sharply since the 1970's due primarily to habitat loss. Unlike most birds, chimney swifts cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are enclosed to provide safe roosting and nesting sites. Historically, chimney swifts preferred hollow trees. However, as pioneers colonized territory and replaced forests with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as chimneys. In the US, a large-scale shift to alternate heat sources, chimney- capping and the use of fabricated chimneys has drastically impacted their ability to nest during migration. Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues Traditionally, chimneys were lined with clay, which the swifts were able to cling to and make their nests. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often lined with metal flues that make it impossible for them to use. In addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. In an effort to sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structures, called "Chimney towers." These towers are designed specifically to provide roosting sites for chimney swifts. Chimney swifts now rely almost entirely on man-made structures like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkably adaptable, even minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can drastically improve their chance of survival.

Nancy took a breath and gathered her thoughts. She imagined that passing through the gray-zone door into Level 4 was like a spacewalk, except that instead of going into outer space, you went into inner space, which was full of the pressure of life trying to get inside your suit. People went into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute, particularly the civilian animal caretakers. But going into a containment zone to perform a necropsy on an animal that had died of an amplified unknown hot agent was something a little different. This was high-hazard work.
