Select the best answer to the question: What is an example of a fortuitous event? *

showing up on time for a date
forgetting to take out the trash
comforting a friend who is feeling sad
running into an old friend who is in town for one day

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Running into an old friend who is in town for one day.

Explanation:

The term "fortuitous" refers to a chance occurrence, a surprising and unexpected event that happened, a fortunate event. This word is used to talk about things that happened unplanned and completely unexpected.

A fortuitous event means an event that happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that it leaves you shocked and completely unforeseen. Such an event is wholly unexpected and surprising. So, running into an old friend who's in town for a single day is a fortuitous event, for it is a chance encounter and not something that happens often or even planned.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Caring for Coral Reefs
Zachary Felton

Coral reefs are amazing underwater worlds. They cover about 186,000 square miles of ocean floor. They mostly exist in the warmest parts of the world. This is because coral reefs develop in shallow, warm water, usually near Land and mostly in the tropics. Coral reefs prefer temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why they are found off the coasts of Africa, India, Australia, and Brazil Coral reefs closest to us are found off the coast of Florida.

Which of the following is not a clue for determining the author's purpose?
A. Tone

Answers

Answer:

B. Word Count

Tone shows purpose, intended audience shows purpose, word choice shows purpose but word count does it.

Explanation:

Answer:

B. Word count

Explanation:

Word count has nothing to do with the author's purpose whereas tone is used to tell the reader the author's attitude towards the subject (a clue for determining the author's purpose), intended audience is used to tell the reader who the author intended to write the story for (a clue for determining the author's purpose), and word choice can be used to find countless meanings in the text (a clue for determining the author's purpose).

The Note

All Rhonda wanted to do after she got Tracy's note was to barricade herself in somewhere, and tiny little Appleton Library seemed as good a place as any. She brought a few schoolbooks with her and a sci-fi novel in case she just wanted to lose herself. But as she sat in the downstairs cubicle, all she could do was read Tracy's note over and over:

Rhonda,

I won't be going to leadership camp with you after all over Spring Break. My aunt offered to take me on a trip to Costa Rica, and I couldn't pass it up. Sorry. Hope you have fun!

Your friend,

Tracy

As Rhonda read over those last words, she felt a sob well up in her throat. She and her best friend Tracy had been planning their 10 days at leadership camp for months—how they would be roommates, go to classes, and study together. And now "sorry" is all she had to say? Rhonda fought back the tears, but it was of no use. Suddenly, she felt lonelier than she had ever been in her life.

Scout says that shortly after the Tom Robinson verdict, Maycomb “became itself” again. What does it mean for Maycomb to “become itself” again? What role does forgetting play in the community’s response? Who wants to forget? Who cannot? When is forgetting helpful, and when is it destructive?

Answers

Answer:

Maycomb is, at the beginning of the book, described as quiet. A place where winter is almost nonexistent, and the people are almost as miserable as the summers, suffering from boredom and apathy. After Tom Robinson is found guilty, Maycomb largely settles down from the excitement of the trial, however, not everyone can turn a blind eye so quickly or so easily. Jem is immediately distressed, and although Atticus assures him they'll "...get it on acquittal..." he still cannot forget. The rest of the town, on the other hand, tries to forget, Mrs. Maudie briefly acknowledges the horribleness that Helen Robinson must be suffering through, but she changes the subject as quickly as she can. In the end, this turns out to be destructive. Occasionally, forgetting is helpful. If Mr. Bob Ewell had forgotten which lawyer had defender Mr. Tom Robinson, he wouldn't have attacked the Finches, and subsequently died, but in forgetting Tom, he grew restless, eventually making a break and dying in the process.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In the past, After Hermione blocked Albus's spell, dementers ripped Rons soul out of Hermione. Thus, option D is correct.

What was the theme of Harry Potter?

The major subject of Harry Potter, according to Rowling, is death. Prejudice, corruption, and insanity are also significant topics in the series.

Act Three, Scene 1-11 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stated that after Hermione blocked Albus's enchantment, the Dementors were following the trio of Hermione, Scorpio, Ron, and Snape.

Hermione, on the other hand, felt the Dementors were only seeking her, therefore she was prepared to give up herself for the sake of others' safety. But not before she proclaimed her love for Ron. In exchange, Ron has elected to stay rather than flee, preferring to be slaughtered with her.

Therefore, both Hermione and Ron stayed behind and "Dementors ripped out Ron and Hermione's souls." Hence, option D is correct.

What is a plot?

The plot is the order of events in a book, movie, or other narrative in which each event has an impact on the one that follows according to the law of cause and effect.

A set of occurrences connected by the connector "and so" might be thought of as the causal events of a narrative. Plots can range in complexity from the straightforward—as in a traditional ballad—to the intricately entwined, with each component occasionally referred to as a subplot or imbroglio.

Storyline and plot both refer to the same thing. According to American science fiction author Ansen Dibell, the phrase is used in the narrative sense to emphasize significant events that have an impact on the plot. Plot can also be used as a verb to describe the creation of a plot by a writer.

Answers

Answer:

I am very foodie. I love to eat and cook. The food gives us energy. Without food, there is no life. There are so many dishes available in today’s world some like Indian foods like Biryani, Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Pani Puri etc whereas some like western foods like Pizza, Burger, Noodles etc. Among the number of food, Pizza is my favourite food because it tastes and smells fabulous.

The pizza itself looks so yummy, crispy and so cheesy. There is no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. My love for Pizza is very high. I am always hungry for pizza, be it any time of the day. Cheese is the secret ingredient of any food it makes any food taste yummy. Nearly any ingredient can be put on pizza. Those diced vegetables, jalapenos, tomato sauce, cheese and mushrooms make me eat more and more like a unique work of art. Every pie is a different shape and size. There are thin-crust pies, deep dish pies, and everything in between. There are pies with different cheeses and tomato sauce, or even pies with a completely different base altogether. On every occasion, I celebrate it with pizza style. There are times when I get scolded for having a pizza all the time because anything in excess causes harms to our health but a pizza lover will always be a pizza lover. There is something between me and pizza the bond which cannot be broken.

No matter how much I have eaten, I never fail to make myself feel hungry when I have my favourite pizzas in front of me. Flavours are felt exploding in my mouth when I take the 1st bite of my pizza. My love for my pizzas is eternal and nobody on this earth could ever take this from me until I die
