HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBALE PLEASE Read the excerpt from “The Lottery.”

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.
Explain what is learned by the actions of the characters in the excerpt.
A. The lottery was a happy occasion because the men told jokes, the children laughed, and the women were able to exchange gossip.
B. The lottery may not have been a happy occasion because the men smiled rather than laughed, and the children were apparently very hesitant to join their families when it started.
C. Most of the villagers were indifferent about the lottery since it was held every year, and they already knew the outcome this time.
D. Most of the villagers were ready to do away with the lottery since it was an outdated custom, carried over from years past.

Answer:

It began on a pointy July afternoon:

I was the most smart doctor around,

She was the most talented princess.

She was my friend,

My talented friend,

My princess.

We used to nuzzle so well together,

Back then.

We wanted to natter together, around the world,

We wanted it all.

But one afternoon, one pointy afternoon,

We decided to natter too much.

Together we evicted a chip munk.

It was sharp, so sharp.

From that moment our relationship changed.

And then it happened:

Oh no! Oh no!

The next day I thought my brain had broken,

I thought my neck had burst into flames,

(But I was actually overreacting a little.)

But still, she is in my thoughts.

I think about how it all changed that afternoon,

That pointy July afternoon.

My neck... ouch!

When I think of that talented princess,

That talented princess and me.

In Wiesel's opinion, why is "indifference more dangerous than anger and hatred"?

Answers

Answer:

Indifference is markedly more dangerous than other negative feelings, such as hatred or anger, because in the latter, despite wishing evil or having negative feelings about something or someone, there is an interest on the part of the person regarding that thing or person. On the other hand, in indifference, the disinterest is total, which can lead to a lack of attention to the thing that can cause harm, both in the person who is indifferent and in third parties.

Explanation:

Our ancestors were religiously devout and deeply believed in god, but we youngsters have been drawn away from god by imitating the modern methods of the West. Since our ancient ancestors lived easy, religious, safe, and happy lives, we should aspire to emulate their positive qualities. They lived happy, pollution free, without any worries, they enjoy every moment of life.

Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

Which phrase from the excerpt best helps the reader identify the author’s purpose?
“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings”
“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods”
“many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world”

Answers

They should analyse subjects with their minds so that they may better understand them and they should invest with their hearts in the learning which means that they should be dedicated and devoting to learning.

Making tougher requirements for teaching personal finance would be a waste of time and money. Read the passage from "The Salem (and Other) Witch Hunts, which is an informational text about witch hunts in the late 1600s.The sentencing of Bridget Bishop, the first victim of the witch trials, was typical of the Salem justice. Bishop was accused of not living "a Puritan lifestyle" because she wore black clothing. Her coat had been found to be oddly "cut or torn in two ways, and her behavior was regarded as "immoral. Thus convicted of witchcraft, she was tried on June 10, 1692, and executed by hanging the same day.Immediately following this execution, the court adjourned for 20 days and asked for advice from New England's most influential ministers "upon the state of things as they then stood. A mere five days later, they produced a voluble answer penned by Cotton Mather, the prolific pamphleteer of the period, assuring the court and the grand jury that they had done well.The prominent ministers "humbly recommend[ed]" more of the same: that is, "the speedy and vigorous prosecution of such as have rendered themselves obnoxious, according to the direction given in the laws of God, and the wholesome statutes of the English nation . . . More people were accused, arrested and examined, but historians believe that by September 1692 the hysteria had begun to abate and public opinion turned against the trials.Which text structure supports the idea that the sentencing was swift and the hysteria surrounding the witch hunts was relatively short-lived?sequencecomparison-contrastcause-effectproblem-solution Select the correct answer.Why does the author include this sentence in paragraph 3?"Late that night, we were awakened by a creaking and snorting and the flash of torches passing."To create an opportunity for the men to end their suffering in the heat andget on the two-wheeled cart and move faster towards their journey.B. To create an element of suspense because the men are asleep and are morevulnerable to attack.C.To create a sense of humanity in himself, by sharing his envy because hehasn't shown any emotion,D.
