Read the excerpt from the article Amazing Plants:
What's for Dinner?
There are a surprising number of plants that are carnivorous, or feed on meat. One of the most well-known carnivorous plants is the Venus flytrap. This carnivore lives in warm, swampy areas where it feeds on flies and any other insect unfortunate enough to land on one of its round, spiky leaves. The leaves are motion-sensitive, and the slightest touch causes a leaf to snap shut, trapping the prey behind a prison of spikes.
Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents.
Read the article Trapped by a Predator:
When I was 12, I went on vacation to the Wilmington, North Carolina area. While there, my family and I went on a hike in the Croatan National Forest, a true coastal forest that is bordered on three sides by water. As I traversed the boardwalk, I caught a glimpse of something pink in my peripheral vision. I stopped and bent down to inspect the mysterious looking specimen. It had long, sharp-looking white teeth and a large, pink mouth. Upon closer inspection, I noticed little droplets of liquid around the rim. Inside its mouth, there were six tiny hairs, three on the top and three on the bottom. While I was examining the unknown object, I saw a fly zoom in and land inside the mouth. I observed as it wandered around the reddish-pink, fleshy surface and brushed against one of the hairs. What happened next seemed like something out of a horror story. All of a sudden, the mouth snapped shut, and the teeth made a prison, trapping the poor fly inside. I witnessed the fly fighting against the spiky teeth, trying to escape, but it was an unsuccessful struggle. When my mother caught up to me on the path, I showed her the slayer, and she explained that the fly eater was the plant called a Venus flytrap. In that moment, I wanted to learn more about this carnivorous flora.
I became a botanist because of that first encounter with the predatory plant. Over the years, I learned so much more about the Dionaea muscipula, better known as the Venus flytrap. For example, the liquid around the rim of its "mouth" is actually a sweet nectar that lures prey. In addition, the six tiny hairs, called trichomes, are like little sensory time bombs. This means when an insect touches a trichome, a timer is set for 20 seconds. If there is a second touch within the 20-second period, the mouth clamps down and traps the prey. The third movement signals the plant's digestive juices to start breaking down the insect. In about ten days, the Venus flytrap reopens and any part of the insect that didn't get digested falls out. It is an amazing process!
Because of my experience in North Carolina all those years ago, I decided to become a botanist and specialize in carnivorous plants. I have studied pitcher plants, sundews, water wheels, cobra lilies, and more. I never bore learning about the different traps, like suction traps and sticky traps, that carnivorous plants use to snare their prey. In fact, you could say I was trapped by the Venus flytrap, that meat-eating predator, when I first laid eyes on it.
Select the sentence that correctly combines information from both texts.

I need to white an analysis about the book white fang by Jack London!
Use the following questions to guide the analysis:
How did the author develop the plot throughout the story?
How and why the characters change throughout the story? (What they learn, how does their changing go with the theme?)
How does the setting affect the characters and the plot?
Setting in Literature
In literature, many pieces unite in order to make an interesting tale. One of those pieces is the setting, which is the place, the time, and the social situation in which a story takes place. More specifically, the place is the location, the time is when the story takes place, and the social situation is the cultural environment. It is important to examine all three parts to the setting of any story to fully understand how a setting impacts a piece of literature. For instance, an example of a complete setting is New York City, the summer of 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression. New York City is the place, the summer of 1932 is the time, and the Great Depression is the social situation.
For most stories, the setting is an essential characteristic. Oftentimes, changing the setting will drastically impact the story. Let's use the novel Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl as an example. This book consists of diary entries written by a Jewish girl during the Holocaust of World War II. The diary describes how Anne and her family hid from the Nazis in order to escape the death sentence of the concentration camps. Would the story be the same if the setting was changed? What if it was written ten years earlier, or took place in the United States? The story would have been much different due to these changes in setting. This shows how important the setting can be to any piece of literature. So how does the setting influence the plot and the characters?
The Setting and the Plot
In order to fully comprehend the impact of the setting, let's first examine how it influences the plot, which is the sequence of events or main actions in a story. Close your eyes and imagine you are alone in an old, abandoned house in the dead of night. The wind rustles the trees outside, which lightly tap against the creaking house. With this setting, what type of actions would you expect to occur? Perhaps a ghost will appear, or a murderer will attack. These are examples of plots that might occur in this particular setting.
On the other hand, imagine you visit a crowded shopping mall. People push past you and salesmen entice customers with deals. A group of kids hangs out at the fountain, laughing and joking around. What type of actions do you expect to happen in this setting? Would you expect a ghost to jump out at you here? Definitely not!
Settings have a major impact on what occurs in a story's plot. Certain actions will be unrealistic at each of these sites, like the ghost in the shopping mall. In this way, the setting influences a story's plot.
The Setting and the Tone and the Theme
In addition, certain details of the setting will create a story's tone, which we define as the general quality or attitude of a story. The setting of an old creaky house produces a creepy or scary tone, while the setting of a mall is more harmless. A story's setting also plays a part in its theme, which is the main message or idea of a story and is universal. For instance, if the author's theme is revenge through murder, the creepy old house setting would be appropriate. However, if the author is focusing on the theme of friendship among teenagers, the setting in the crowded mall is much more appropriate.

Ocean Noise
When we think about the pollution of our oceans, many of us think of oil spills that dirty the waters and harm a variety of ocean life. Or, we might think of people in boats who litter the waters with their trash. After all, how many times in the news do we hear about ships that leak dangerous chemicals into the water? What we may not realize, though, is that there is another danger that is just as harmful to ocean life as any chemical or other dangerous material: ocean noise.
Many of us think of the oceans as silent places. On the contrary, they are filled with a variety of sounds. On any given day, one might hear the calls of dolphins as they swim through the waters. Whales use sounds to keep track of each other. Sea lions talk to each other to find food. Even the tiniest of shrimp make a snapping sound. There are also sounds caused by wind or rain upon the waters. Sound also plays an important role in the daily life of various ocean animals, many of which depend upon their sharp sound detection skills to survive. With increased activities by people on many of the oceans’ waters, the noise has increased so much that it is beginning to cause damage to the oceans as well as to the animals that live in them.
Ocean noise is the term used to describe the human-made noise occurring at increasing rates in the ocean. The noise comes from many different sources: large ships, small boats with motors, and jet skis, among others. There are also underwater exploration activities such as mining, as well as radar activities of ships. One of the most harmful types of ocean noise occurs with offshore oil drilling and seismic oil explorations. Air guns are instruments that are used to determine the location of oil and natural gas beneath the sea floor. They make a sound that can damage the hearing of ocean animals.
We know that sound travels faster in water than it does in air. This means that sounds in the oceans can travel for many, many miles in a short period of time. Unfortunately, sounds made by people are much louder than sounds made by ocean animals.
What this means is that sounds caused by noisy engines or radar equipment used by ships can upset the everyday activities of the creatures that live in the ocean. For instance, humpback whales use songs to talk to each other. Scientists have discovered that the whales’ system of “talking” can be disturbed by loud noises. This makes it harder for the whales to find each other. The stranding of whales and dolphins has been found to increase immediately after naval sonar maneuvers. Sea lions are another type of animal that depends on sounds to communicate with other sea lions. Ocean noise can make it difficult for them to find food. Ocean noise can disturb migration routes of whales and other animals that travel to different places.
However, scientists and other researchers are working hard to find a solution to this threat to marine life. Since 2003, the use of low-frequency active (LFA) sonar equipment by the United States Navy has been tightly limited because its effects have been shown to cause harm to many ocean animals. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has released a plan to reduce ocean noise that will work better than past attempts to reduce the noise.
Other people are helping as well. Some fishing companies use special equipment that makes a “pinging” sound to keep certain kinds of ocean life from getting caught in its fishing nets. The National Park Service completed a study that tracked tour cruise ships and made an effort to reduce the number of tours. They also tried to increase the “quiet time” for humpback whales by scheduling tours farther apart.
Local conservation groups are also asking people to be more careful about using jet skis, motorboats, and other equipment that might disturb areas where ocean life is particularly fragile. Also, closer attention is being paid to where ships are traveling to make sure that, whenever possible, they stay away from waters where large numbers of ocean animals live.
With the increase in ocean noise, measures must be taken to control or, at the very least, curb its growth.
Which claim from "Ocean Noise" is supported by reasons or evidence?
NOAA's new plan will work better than previous plans.
Ocean noise is just as damaging as chemical pollution.
Sounds from humans upset the activities and patterns of some animals more than others.
Sounds in the ocean can travel for many miles in a short time.

Which person most clearly uses effective nonverbal communication in a speech?
C. Jaya, who makes eye contact with the one person who is paying attention
D. Martin, who points to an image to draw his audience's attention to it
B. Asha, who asks the audience questions to keep them engaged
A. Amy, who paces constantly to show her audience they should be worried
Answer:
A
Explanation:Hope this help :D
Answer:
D. Martin
Explanation:
Jaya shouldn't be making eye contact with one specific person, she should be looking out at the entire audience.
Asha is using verbal communication, not nonverbal.
Amy is pacing, which can be a distraction to the audience, plus, it's showing the audience that they should be worried when they don't have to be.
The only one who used effective nonverbal communication from what I can see is Martin, who is using hand gestures like pointing to attract the audience to the image.
