Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:
1- In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
2- Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
3- Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
4- Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

Which arrangment of these sentences would be best for a conclusion paragraph??
I need help!!
Answer:
You should do C.
Explanation:
Discuss the major plot events of the play—the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution—in detail.
Answer:
Exposition: A direct way of telling the reader/audience what's happening in the story before it starts. It sets the tone of the whole storyincluding establishing the characters and where the story is going to take place. Think of James Bond's conversations with M at MI6. This is the exposition part of the story.
Rising Action: Because of what is established in the exposition, the characters in the story are led to do something. This part gets more suspenseful as the story progresses making the audience wonder what's going to happen next. That's why it's a "rising" action. Think of Bond's activities when he's gathering intelligence about the antagonist and surveilling him.
Climax: This is usually the most important part of the story. It's the culmination of everything that's happened in the story so far and the point where a choice or an action is made the affects every part of the story. Think of the moment when Bond meets the antagonist, or more specifically, their outright confrontation.
Falling action: This is the part of the story which shows the consequences of climax and the "fallout." Think of Bond escaping from a place that's about to go up in flames after he's beat his antagonist.
Resolution: This is the conclusion of the story that wraps everything up and fills in any details that hadn't been revealed before so that the story is fully understood. And it gives you an indication of what's to happen once the story ends too. Think of the last bit of a Bond movie when Bond gets the girl again.
Hope this helps!
Exposition: Beginning of a story
- the main characters are introduced
- background information from before the story is discussed
- setting explained
Rising Action: 2nd part, rising to the climax
- this is the part of the story where the problem is introduced
- suspense and problems up as the characters face conflict
- where small battles or problems are fought which leads up to the ultimate "face down"
Climax: Most intense and exciting part in a story
- character faces the biggest problem of them all
- most exhilarating part of a story, you don't know what's going to happen
- if there is a major plot twist in the story it will usually be here
Falling Action: Probelms slowly get resoled
- tension in the story decreases, problems are slowly getting resolved
- opposite of rising action
Resolution: Conclusion/end to the story, all problems are solved
- end of the story, tension is at its lowest
- all problems will be resolved by the resolution
- unanswered questions are answered
In what ways is beautiful darkness the opposite of the good ending fairy tales PLEASE HELP IT IS DUE TODAY
Answer:
"Beautiful darkness" has a dark and frightening ending, in addition to teaching no moral lessons, but remaining in ambiguity.
Explanation:
"Beautiful darkness" unlike fairy tales does not have an inspiring, romantic and happy ending, but it presents a dark and very scary resolution, but great for the story presented. In addition, "Beautiful darkness" does not undertake to teach a moral lesson, advice for life, as fairy tales do, but maintains an impressive moral ambiguity that accompanies the story from beginning to end.
Read the following questions and fill in the blanks with most appropriate words from the options:-
The bat is the only mammal ………….. can fly
a) that
b) which
c) who
d) whose
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Who and whose (which is wrong for a couple of reasons) refer to people. So neither of those 2 can be the answer.
Which and that are all that is left.
The usage is very close. Which, I think, is the correct answer. It usually begins a clause that adds more information to the noun (usually) that it modifies. In this case, the clause modifies mammal and tells it that is unique in that it can fly.
That is normally a pronoun that oddly modifies again usually a specific noun. You are not talking about a bat that lives in your back yard and that you have named. Bats in general are the only mammals that fly.
I still would use which.

B)The author is making an emotional appeal for declaring a new planet.
C)The author is launching an ad hominem attack on those against declaring a new planet.
D)The author is relying on anecdotal evidence to support declaring a new planet.
12 If I had heard back then about the discovery of something at the edge of the solar system, I wouldn’t have waited for a body of astronomers to tell me what it was. I would have immediately cut out a little disk of white paper and taped it to the poster of planets on my bedroom wall. That night, I would have looked up, straining to see the latest addition to our solar system, hoping that I, too, might someday find a new planet.
