Articles. Read a short passage from the book you have selected and identify all
the instances where articles (a, an, the) are used. Rewrite the passage without the
articles and see how the meaning changes.
OK the answer to this question is that a is used in nouns where any vowel is not the first letter or the noun is singular. an is used when the noun starting letter is a vowel. the is used for specific nouns
Answer:
Short passage from the book "The Epic of Gilgamesh" with the articles identified:
In ancient Mesopotamia, there was a great king named Gilgamesh. He was a powerful warrior and a wise ruler. He was also very proud and arrogant.
One day, Gilgamesh was challenged by a wild man named Enkidu. Enkidu was strong and savage, and he defeated Gilgamesh in battle. After the battle, Gilgamesh and Enkidu became friends. They traveled together and had many adventures.
One of their adventures took them to the Cedar Forest, where they fought a giant monster named Humbaba. They were victorious, but Enkidu was mortally wounded. Gilgamesh was grief-stricken, and he began to question the meaning of life.
In the passage above, there are a total of 10 articles:
a great king
the Epic of Gilgamesh
a wild man
the battle
a wise ruler
the Cedar Forest
a giant monster
the meaning of life
the passage
If we remove the articles from the passage, the meaning changes slightly. For example, the sentence "In ancient Mesopotamia, there was a great king named Gilgamesh" becomes "In ancient Mesopotamia, there was great king named Gilgamesh." The meaning of the sentence is still clear, but it is less specific. The article "a" is used to indicate that there was one king, but without the article, the sentence could be interpreted to mean that there were multiple kings.
The other articles in the passage also serve to add specificity. For example, the article "the" is used to refer to the specific book "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and the specific monster "Humbaba." Without the articles, the meaning of these references would be less clear.
In general, articles are used in English to add specificity and clarity to language. They can also be used to avoid ambiguity. When articles are removed from a passage, the meaning of the passage may still be clear, but it may be less specific and less clear.

The correct response would be
' ;
Answer:
Explanation:Advertisements are generally created to persuade the audience to buy a product or
service. They use various elements like text, language, and imagery to create meaning in the
advertisement. The purpose of this essay is to analyze how text is used to create meaning in an
advertisement and identify which statement best describes it. The thesis statement for this essay
states that the language used in advertisements emphasizes profit rather than providing detailed
information about the product.
Body Paragraph 1
The advertisement chosen for analysis is a car commercial that uses phrases like "Limited
Time Offer” and "Get Yours Today" in its text, emphasizing urgency and scarcity. Such
statements highlight profits as they encourage potential buyers to purchase the vehicle
immediately without much thought or consideration regarding its actual value.
Body Paragraph 2
In addition, the advertisement also uses images of young people driving through scenic
locations, creating a sense of adventure and freedom associated with owning their car brand. This
creates an emotional connection between consumers and the brand by portraying how owning
such vehicles will make them feel.
3
Body Paragraph 3
Logical fallacies such as appeal to emotion can be seen when advertisers attempt to
manipulate consumers' feelings by associating their products with happiness or success. These
manipulations often contribute towards creating meaning in advertising by misleading audiences
into purchasing something they might not need at all.
Conclusion
In conclusion, advertisements use several techniques like imagery, language, logical
fallacies etc., which help create meaning within them explaining why they exist beyond
encouraging purchases simply. In this essay we have analyzed how texts are used within ads
highlighting profits instead of giving detailed information about products. Its significance lies in
understanding how these tactics work together allowing marketers present themselves more
effectively while influencing consumer behavior; being aware of ads’ ploys may help us resist
unnecessary purchases — indicating a need for better regulation on what businesses can market
so that fewer people waste their resources because of ads’ deceitful nature (Smith & Burdick).

Answer:
I admire Malcome X
Explanation:
Malcome X was a minister and human rights activist who was a popular figure during the civil rights movement. He is best known for his time spent as a vocal spokesman for the Nation of Islam. He was much like Martin Luther King jr. But he had a different idea. Martin's idea was to fight with peace and love.
" He urged his fellow black Americans to protect themselves against white aggression 'by any means necessary,' a stance that often put him at odds with the nonviolent teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr."
He was born on May 19, 1925
He died on February 21, 1965
Malcome X was shot and killed in the middle of one of his teachings. He is still remembered as an icon today.

On the right newspapers draped over what looked like a quilt rack
Magazines face out from the wall
These lines provide the reader with
A. implicit details about how the speaker feels about books.
B. implicit details about how the speaker views magazines.
C. explicit details about how the library items are arranged.
D. explicit details about how the card catalog is organized.
Answer:
C. Explicit details about how the library items are arranged.
Explanation:
As known, 'Explicit' means that whatever was said, it's stated clearly.
Implicit means that a subject was implied, but you still need to use context clues to find the answer.
In this case, it clearly says, "To the left side a card catalog."
'On the right, newspapers are draped over a quilt rack' and "Magazines face out from the wall"
All of these quotes are explicitly(clearly) saying where each of the library items go. Including, Card catalogs, newspapers, and Magazines.

Polar bears live in artic climates. Because of this, they must be adapted to some serious weather conditions. Thick white fur (which also lines the bottom of their feet) and a layer of blubber (fat) allows polar bears to withstand weather that would cause most animals to freeze! Polar bears are much less impacted by freezing cold temperatures as a result of their unique traits.

King Cobras lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time. Once the eggs are laid, the mother cobra will create a nest from dead leaves and coil herself on top. The eggs must be kept warm for up to 80 days. During this time, a cobra will see any animal nearby as a threat and will attach. Once the eggs finally hatch, the 18 inch babies will have to survive on their own by finding protection in the surrounding environment.

What happens when a dog gets overheated? They pant. Panting allows cooler air to quickly circulate throughout their bodies until they return to a more comfortable temperature. Dogs also produce small amounts of sweat from their paws and noses. This sweat helps the cooling process. The thicker the fur on a dog, the longer it takes to cool down. You can also help your furry friend by making sure they have a cool place to stay, and plenty of water to drink.

Based on information in the article, which best describes the difference between the child labor rates in Nepal and Mongolia?
A.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but decreased in Nepal since 1990.
B.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but stayed the same in Nepal since 1990.
C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.
D.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but stayed the same in Mongolia since 1990.
In 2000, there were 127 million children working in Asia. By 2004, that number had fallen to 122 million. Officials are pleased that child labor rates have dropped, but they say the decline isn't happening fast enough.
Those numbers came from a recent report from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The report focused on South Asia, which includes Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations. It concluded that despite the decrease in the number of working children ages five to 14, South Asia remains a child labor hot spot.
The report discussed child labor in several nations and identified Nepal as one of the worst offenders. As of 2004, almost 40 percent of Nepalese children aged 10 to 14 were working. Many continue to do strenuous physical labor in mines, quarries, and carpet factories. Still, even in Nepal, child labor rates are declining; they had been near 50 percent in 1990.
The Philippines has improved, but problems remain in some industries. Many Filipino children still work in fireworks production, deep-sea fishing, and mining. The country has a national action plan to change this.
"The [anti-child labor] laws are all there," said Filipino Undersecretary of Labor and Employment Manuel G. Imson. Imson says that the government is working with the police to enforce these laws.
In some cases, child labor has emerged where it was previously nonexistent. There were few or no child laborers in Mongolia until 1990; today, up to 10,000 children there work in gold, coal, and mineral mines. Kh. Ganbaatar, executive director of the Mongolian Employers' Federation, blames the problem on economic changes as well as on natural disasters. Several years ago, winter storms killed millions of livestock. This made it harder for families to maintain their traditional herding way of life. Many of these families were forced to send their children to work.
In fact, child labor often develops because area families cannot make ends meet and need extra income. In other cases, parents want to send their children to school but cannot afford the related fees.
"A large number of working poor means that we have a large number of people who are unable to support children [going] to school," said Panudda Boonpala, senior child labor specialist at the ILO.
In August, government representatives from nearly 40 countries as well as workers' and employers' organizations attended an ILO conference. Topics on their agenda included migration, competitiveness, productivity, and youth employment (child labor). At a session on youth employment, participants watched a video that showed children working at a gold mine in Mongolia.
The ILO says that it will try to end some of the worst forms of child labor within 10 years. Its officials point out that attitudes about working children have changed in Asia. This is contributing to the reduction in child labor rates.
"I think 10 years ago there was lots of denial," Panudda said. Still, she said, nations will not be able to end child labor unless they are willing to put a lot of effort and funding into the fight against it.
Answer: C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.

Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how Greg Ridley from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" changes from the beginning of the story to the end.
150 words are needed.
Answer:
In the realistic fiction story, "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" by Walter Dean Myers, Greg Ridley a fourteen-year-old boy, starts off by getting a lecture from his dad, about his poor grades in math. Greg is upset and he walks away from his house to get some alone time. As Greg is walking, a rainstorm strikes. While he is trying to find shelter, he comes upon an abandoned apartment complex. As Greg walks in he finds out that he isn't the only one in the apartment, an old man named Lemon Brown is also there. Lemon is there for a different reason though. He is trying to hide his treasure, an old harmonica, from the neighborhood thugs. The thugs weren't successful in getting Lemon's treasure. Greg returns home with a valuable lesson learned, that he should value things in life. Greg changes from the beginning of the story to the end of the story. At the beginning, Greg was careless about his grades in math. Next, he was curious when looking for a place to hide from the rain. Lastly, he ends the story off by being a caring person when he continuously asked Lemon Brown if he was okay. Greg Ridley was a dynamic character who changed from careless, to curious, to caring, after his encounters with Lemon Brown.
Answer:
Greg dreaded the lecture from his father but this changed in the end as he anticipated the lecture. From the story, it can be inferred that Greg was in a bad mood and he wasn't ready to listen to the lecture that his father wanted to give him. In the end of the story, we can deduce that this changed as Greg was already anticipating about the lecture that he was going to receive from his dad. The change was due to the fact that his father wanted to tell him about how he lost his son and he was anxious about it. The change that can be depicted from the story was that in the beginning

A verb's mood can affect a sentence by showing the tone or attitude with which a thought is expressed.
A: True
B: False
Answer:
A true
Explanation:
By indicating the attitude or tone with which a concept is stated as a factual statement, a verb's mood can have an impact on a phrase. As a result, option (A) is correct.
What is meant by a verb?The verb frequently agrees in person, number, or gender with the subject, which is its main argument, in languages where inflexion is used. Except for the verb "to be," English only exhibits different agreements in the third person singular, present tense forms of verbs, which are denoted by adding "-s" (for walks) or "-es" (for fishes).
I walk, you walk, they walk, etc., but the other people are not mentioned in the verb.
The tense-aspect-mood (abbreviated "TAM") inflected verbs used in Latin and the Romance languages agree with the subject in person and number but not in gender, as in Polish.

Emma was having a wonderful time at summer camp. She’d made friends with
all the girls in her cabin, and she was having taking part in all the activities, and
she even secretly enjoyed some of the chores.
One day, a package arrived at camp from Emma’s grandmother. The other girls
in the cabin were excited about what the package contained, and watched as
Emma opened it. Inside was a box of her grandmother’s homemade caramels,
which were Emma’s favorite. She was about to eat one of them when one of the
other girls asked if she could have a caramel. Then the other girls asked the
same question. Emma counted the caramels. There were ten in the box. There
were eight other girls in the cabin, so if she gave each of them one caramel,
there would only be two left for her. She thought about keeping them for herself.
After all, they were her favorite, and her grandmother had sent them to her. As
much as she loved the caramels, though, she also wanted her friends to get a
chance to try them. So she gave each girl a caramel. That night they all got a
treat, and Emma was glad she’d shared her favorite treat with her new friends.
