Read this excerpt from Thomas Paine's famous essay "The Crisis Number One":

I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

A.) God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.
B.) It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction.
C.) It was necessary for America to fight the British to defend their religious values.
D.) God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.
E.) It was necessary for Americans to save themselves and not wait for God to help them.

According to the article, what is one reason why scientist criticized ocean Ramsey for her actions near a great white shark?

Answers

Answer:

One reason why other scientists criticized Ocean Ramsey was that they felt she was promoting through social media that it is okay to swim with the shark and it was irresponsible.

Explanation:

A deep sea diver Ocean Ramsey came in extremely close proximity with a great white shark in the Pacific Ocean and was even daring enough to touch the shark in a viral video she posted on her Instagram.

She described the shark which she called Deep Blue as mellow and beautiful and the estimated length is 20 feet and weighing about 6,000 pounds while believed to be pregnant.

According to Michael Dormier, who is the founding director of the Marine Conservation Science Institute was of the opinion that of all the breeds of sharks that were not dangerous, Ocean Blue had to pose and touch the great white shark and also indirectly let people on social media feel that is safe and okay to be in close contact with such a dangerous sea creature.

Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

Answers

Answer:

What Dwight means to imply here is that your personal integrity is dependent entirely on what you do when you think no one is watching. How strong is your moral compass? Now I can think of a few books this quote would apply to, Wuthering Heights- or Scorpions. Scorpions from Walter Dean Meyers is about gang violence and the sort. So there's a lot of morality talk there. The prompt wants you to analyze a book you've read with Dwight's words in mind. You're looking for a book that has character integrity as a theme. Honesty, Deception, those kinds of conflicting themes.

Explanation:

Answer: There are many books in which I could pull from, but the best example would be The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. Tolkien throws the reader into a mystical world set in Middle Earth. We are introduced with a Hobbit who enjoys a quaint simple life. Like many Hobbits, Bilbo Baggins does not like adventures, as it is not in their "nature." But Gandalf comes by to prove otherwise. During the novel, Bilbo is recruited by Gandalf to help a pack of Dwarves reclaim their lost home. When Bilbo accepted this journey, we are already seeing Bilbo's true colors coming through. Bilbo scurries along to meet the rest of his party as the entirety of Bag End shuns him. A great example of Bilbo's character in the dark is when he is literally in the dark. His quick thoughts are what saves him from being Gollum's next meal when he falls into his cave. Bilbo saved his own life that day because of his witty puzzles and quick actions against Gollum. At heart, Bilbo is an adventurer, just like the Took side of his family. With the help of a couple of new friends, Bilbo was able to show his "true character in the dark" to the world.

Mitochondria produce the energy required to perform processes such as cell division, growth, and cell death. This in itself shows that the nucleus plays an important part in cell division and in directing the development of the fertilized egg into an embryo. The nucleus is, of course, required for cell division, but it also determines the type of structure which the cell eventually develops into.

They finally arrive at the mouth of the Congo River, where Marlow boards another steamship bound for a point thirty miles upriver. The captain of the ship, a young Swede, recognizes Marlow as a seaman and invites him on the bridge. The Swede criticizes the colonial officials and tells Marlow about another Swede who recently hanged himself on his way into the interior.
