How shall I tell what I saw? I went carefully, my strung bow in my hand, my skin ready for danger. There should have been the wailings of spirits and the shrieks of demons, but there were not. It was very silent and sunny where I had landed—the wind and the rain and the birds that drop seeds had done their work—the grass grew in the cracks of the broken stone. It is a fair island—no wonder the gods built there. If I had come there, a god, I also would have built. –“By the Waters of Babylon,” Stephen Vincent Benét What textual evidence supports the analysis that the setting develops the character’s bravery?

What is a life lesson greg and Maura may have learned in the story? Book Title: Lunch Money
Answer:
Lunch Money
Life Lesson for Greg and Maura:
Making money is not a means to an end. Happiness in life does not depend on making more money per se. Happiness depends on giving out value. When you give out value, you will likely receive value in return. Sometimes, the value is monetary and some other times, it is pure bliss, i.e. the satisfaction one gets from knowing that he or she had been of tremendous help to another human being.
Importantly, creativity is a good skill which is quite emulatable. It involves thinking outside the box to marshal out solutions to people's problems with a win-win outcome.
Explanation:
"Lunch Money" was a children-targetted novel written by Andrew Clements in 2005. Its protagonist was Greg Kenton, a "shylock kind of kid" despised by Maura Shaw, who unfortunately duplicates Greg's comics.

Danger: Cell Phone Driver by Hank Upp A law should be passed that bans the use of a cell phone while driving. Too often I have seen people driving recklessly while engaged in conversation on a cell phone. They can't seem to find time to exercise proper vehicle functions or safe driving procedures because they are too busy gabbing on their little phones. One hand holds the phone to the ear, and the other hand might be used to steer. In fact, a study has shown that more accidents are caused by people using cell phones while driving than by people who are drunk while driving. The need for restricting cell phone use, then, is clear. These careless people are endangering you and me on the public streets, and I personally believe the time has come to call for an end to this needless and potentially dangerous practice. 8 Select the correct answer.

What conflicts are presented in this excerpt? Select three options.
Answer:
The conflicts that are presented in this excerpt are:
-Mollie is in conflict with herself because she wants to leave the farm.
-Mollie is in conflict with Clover because Clover sees Mollie with the farmer.
-Mollie is in conflict with the farm because she does not like her living conditions.
Explanation:
The question is not complete since it does not provide the necessary information to be answered. Here is the complete question:
Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.
As winter drew on, Mollie became more and more troublesome. She was late for work every morning and excused herself by saying that she had overslept, and she complained of mysterious pains, although her appetite was excellent. On every kind of pretext, she would run away from work and go to the drinking pool, where she would stand foolishly gazing at her own reflection in the water. But there were also rumours of something more serious. One day, as Mollie strolled blithely into the yard, flirting her long tail and chewing at a stalk of hay, Clover took her aside.
"Mollie,” she said, "I have something very serious to say to you. This morning I saw you looking over the hedge that divides Animal Farm from Foxwood. One of Mr. Pilkington's men was standing on the other side of the hedge. And—I was a long way away, but I am almost certain I saw this—he was talking to you and you were allowing him to stroke your nose. What does that mean, Mollie?”
"He didn't! I wasn't! It isn't true!” cried Mollie, beginning to prance about and paw the ground.
"Mollie! Look me in the face. Do you give me your word of honour that that man was not stroking your nose?”
"It isn't true!” repeated Mollie, but she could not look Clover in the face, and the next moment she took to her heels and galloped away into the field.
A thought struck Clover. Without saying anything to the others, she went to Mollie's stall and turned over the straw with her hoof. Hidden under the straw was a little pile of lump sugar and several bunches of ribbon of different colours.
Three days later Mollie disappeared. For some weeks nothing was known of her whereabouts, then the pigeons reported that they had seen her on the other side of Willingdon. She was between the shafts of a smart dogcart painted red and black, which was standing outside a public-house. A fat red-faced man in check breeches and gaiters, who looked like a publican, was stroking her nose and feeding her with sugar. Her coat was newly clipped and she wore a scarlet ribbon round her forelock. She appeared to be enjoying herself, so the pigeons said. None of the animals ever mentioned Mollie again.
What conflicts are presented in this excerpt? Select THREE options.
-Mollie is in conflict with herself because she wants to leave the farm.
-Mollie is in conflict with Clover because Clover sees Mollie with the farmer.
-Mollie is in conflict with the farmer because he wants her to live on his farm.
-Mollie is in conflict with the farm because she does not like her living conditions.
-Mollie is in conflict with nature because she is cold and suffering from an illness.
This excerpt of Animal Farm shows how Mollie dreams about having a different life, in a different place where she would feel more satisfied with herself, and as the story keeps advancing she develops more conflicts not only with herself for wanting to live but with everything and everyone in the farm because of the hardness of accepting her own wishes.

Explanation:
What do you infer was due to the phosphorus? A.the continuous patter that broke the silence of the moor B.Holmes' eyes shining in the moonlight. C.The cry of pain from the creature. D.The appearance of flame and fire on the hound.
Answer:
D.The appearance of flame and fire on the hound.
Explanation:
From The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go to solve a mystery of the death of Sir Baskerville.
Sherlock and his team have an encounter with the large hound and manage to shoot it before it could injure or kill anyone else.
On close inspection, they discover that someone covered the animal in a clever preparation of phosphorus and Watson observes that "Fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame".
So, the appearance of flames on the hound was due to the phosphorous.

How does the mention of Governor Faubus in Jackie Robinson’s letter to President Eisenhower strengthen the main argument of the letter? The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office. Robinson notes that Governor Faubus spoke during the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders and became a symbol of civil rights. Robinson uses Governor Faubus as a metaphor for racial segregation and therefore provides a strong visual image. The reference provides a real-life example of a pro-segregationist and his actions, making the need for civil rights more dire.
The Answer is A: The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.
Answer:
The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.
Explanation:
Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.
Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.
However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100.” Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long To speak of that which gives thee all thy might? Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song, Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light? Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem5 In gentle numbers time so idly spent; Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem And gives thy pen both skill and argument. Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey, If Time have any wrinkle graven there;10 If any, be a satire to decay, And make Time's spoils despised every where. Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life; So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife. What is the best paraphrase of line 9? Wake up, dear sleepyhead! Fame is fleeting, and so is life. Get up and look at his lovely face. Make him famous before he gets old.
Answer: Get up and look at his lovely face.
Explanation: Shakespeare refers to his first 126 sonnets to a young man who he seemed to love deeply. In this sonnet, he is speaking to the muse that generally inspires him, asking for its presence and wondering the whereabouts of it all this time. In line 9; "Rise, resty Muse; my love’s sweet face survey," he is specifically asking the muse to get up and look at his beloved's lovely face, to see If age has gotten to him, and to wish him fame and good.

Dear sir,
I am writing you to inform you about the deplorable state of the Kolkata High School building and its inherent danger to students and staff of the institution.
The state of the building is so bad that we live in constant fear each day we're in class about whether the building will cave in and collapse on us or if the walls would fall inwards.
This sad state of things have made some students to skip classes and teachers to hurry their classes and leave without imparting much knowledge on the brave students that decided to show up to class.
I do hope you look into this situation and find a lasting solution.
Yours sincerely,

"proper planning ensures a healthy balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability of a nation economically and environmentally"
this is an essay, can someone help?
800 words
Answer:
Essay on "proper planning ensures a healthy balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability of a nation economically and environmentally".
Explanation:
Proper planning is required for making growth in the economy and also make the environment safe. For the growth of economy, industries should be built in order to make money from the exports of the materials to other countries. Due to these industries, pollution is increases in the environment from the smoke emitted in the air. So proper planning is needed in order to grow in economy as well as make the environment clean and safe. or this reason, chimneys should be built on the industries in order to prevent the smoke leaving the facility. Use of electric energy taken from solar panel for making goods instead of burning of fossil fuels because burning of fossil fuels produces smoke which pollute the environment. Agricultural production should be increase by using latest technologies from which more foreign currency should be earned without harming the environment. Introduce the electric vehicles in the country which decreases the consumption of fossil fuels in the country and exports these vehicles to the world.
Answer:
Over the past century, unsustainable economic growth caused irreversible damage to the environment such as global warming, sea level rising, extreme climate, to name but a few. Moreover, environmental problems harm people's health, leading to reduce worker's productivity and end up with poverty. Poverty in one nation might cause unrest and insecurity in other nations. "No man is an island", so we need concerted effort to draw a plan for worldwide sustainable development.
First, no one can concern about environment with an empty stomach, so the first thing to do is to ensure a good job for all. It is obvious that society benefits if more people contribute to their nation's growth. Decent work and productive recruitment are keys to fair globalization and poverty reduction. Further, unemployment may lead to unrest in society that affects all us. One possibility is for the government to create more jobs for all, supporting small and medium-sized companies as well as making economic policies for the most vulnerable.
The second is a lasting solution for a more sustainable future in general as well as for an economy-environment balance in particular, that is quality education. Human is the most important factor to resolve any issue, so education is the root solution for economic problem in an environmentally friendly way. For example, we can talk to children about the beauty and the importance of Mother Nature, so that they are likely to respect and protect the environment. Furthermore, education empowers students to do research and perhaps find solutions to live in harmony with the nature. Therefore, the government should place education as a priority. The private sector can support schools by providing education tools or facilities.
Third, a patient can not think about economy nor environment while fighting against their disease, so another vital thing to do is to ensure healthy lives for all. The first step is to promote your own health and the health of those around you by having a healthy lifestyle and making well-informed choices. The next step is to raise public awareness about the importance of good health as well as the right to quality health services. The last step is to put pressure on the government to improve healthcare system.
Fourth, a precursor contributing greatly to economic growth should not be neglected is energy. Despite being a part of our lives, traditional energy source releases greenhouse gases that cause climate change, harm people's health and the environment. Therefore, affordable and clean energy is a big concern these days. Switching into renewable energy is the responsibility of all us. Businesses should commit to use electricity from renewable sources. Investors can invest in green energy, bringing new technology to the market. Individuals should save electricity and reduce carbon emission.
Fifth, sustainable industries, technology and infrastructure create a great deal of employment and income. Technology and innovation are lasting solutions for economic and environmental challenges. New technology facilitates international trade and enables the efficient use of resources. By contrast, failing to improve infrastructure and technology will result in poor healthcare and education. Thus, the government should create regulations to support environment-protecting companies, but fine the ones that damage the environment. It is also necessary to collaborate with NGOs and the public sector to improve the infrastructure of rural areas.
Sixth, sustainable cities and communities are also a part of the big picture of sustainable development. Urban areas are powerful places of economic growth, but they also account for a growing amount of global carbon emission. Another pressing challenge that cities face is inequality. This might push some to be unemployed and end up living in slums. Inadequate living conditions in slums may lead to pollution and disease spread. Inequality can cause unrest in society. These have the potential to disrupt everyone's life. Hence, we should be active in the city development, voting for the leaders who really care for their citizens, helping the poor have access to job, education and healthcare.
Lastly, everyone should take action to tackle climate change and its effects. There are many things we can do as follows: shower in 5 minutes, bring your own bag, drive less, light off and unplug, use local food, reduce meat in our meals, recycle, refill, reuse and finally commit to zero-waste fashion.
To sum up, a proper plan to deal with both economic growth and environmental sustainability require the participation of all society. In addition, the plan is a big picture of all fields, ranging from politics, education to science and technology. Beyond these, sustainable development should be conducted on a worldwide scale.

"And I have known the arms already, known them all — Arms that are braceleted and white and bare (But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!) Is it perfume from a dress That makes me so digress? Arms that lies along a table, or wrap about a shawl. And should I then presume? And how should I begin? . . .
