Hello, people of Brainly! I need an answer ASAP! I'm sure it's annoying when people ask for long things, but hear me out. I'll give a ton of points, and the best answer gets Brainliest. If someone answers just for points, it'll be reported.
Chapter 1
"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.
"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."
Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.
"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.
"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."
Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.
"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.
"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."
"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."
Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.
"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"
"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."
Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.
Chapter 2
Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.
Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.
"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.
"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.
"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.
"Yes, but..." she started.
"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"
"Yes," she said quietly.
"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"
"I suppose not," she said.
Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.
"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."
"So let's go do this, okay?
"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.
Using both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of "The Three-Point Turn," write a short essay explaining how Justin is able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test will not be all that bad.
Answer:
By engaging in communication based acceptance, he reiterates the importance of driving, but also the importance of not giving up even if she were to do bad.
Explanation:
Answer:
Justin changed Becky's point of view and helped her see that it wasn't a big deal.
Explanation:
Justin was able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test would not be that bad by making Becky instead of focusing on what could happen on what would actually happen. Becky was probably already making scenarios of her own thinking how she could be humiliated for not passing the driving test. Justin made her calm down by making her look at the facts. The reality was that nothing much could change if she didn't or did get her drivers license. Justin made her look at it from a different angle. At first even though Justin was just trying to help, Becky was panicking because she was so worried about flunking the driving test that she was messing up and getting all worked up. Justin could have just kept correcting her and pointing out her mistakes which is most likely another reason Becky was frustrated. Justin was able to keep calm and help Becky notice that it wasn't a big deal she thought it was. He simply changed her point of view.
What purpose does context, or background information, serve in a reflective essay?
A) it remind readers of similar stories they may have read
B) to help readers understand what happens next
C) to explain why the event’s details matter to you
D) to provide clues about how the narrative will end

On this day the first all-electronic television image was transmitted. Philo T. Farnsworth’s invention made it possible to build televisions with no moving parts. What type of influence do you think television has had on our world? What have been some of the advantages? Have there also been some disadvantages? Please write your response in a 7 sentence paragraph.
Answer:
Philo Farnsworth, in full Philo Taylor Farnsworth II, (born August 19, 1906, Beaver, Utah, U.S.—died March 11, 1971, Salt Lake City, Utah), American inventor who developed the first all-electronic television system.
Farnsworth was a technical prodigy from an early age. An avid reader of science magazines as a teenager, he became interested in the problem of television and was convinced that mechanical systems that used, for example, a spinning disc would be too slow to scan and assemble images many times a second. Only an electronic system could scan and assemble an image fast enough, and by 1922 he had worked out the basic outlines of electronic television.
In 1923, while still in high school, Farnsworth also entered Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, as a special student. However, his father’s death in January 1924 meant that he had to leave Brigham Young and work to support his family while finishing high school.
Farnsworth had to postpone his dream of developing television. In 1926 he went to work for charity fund-raisers George Everson and Leslie Gorrell. He convinced them to go into a partnership to produce his television system. Farnsworth moved to Los Angeles with his new wife, Pem Gardner, and began work. He quickly spent the original $6,000 put up by Everson and Gorrell, but Everson procured $25,000 and laboratory space from the Crocker First National Bank of San Francisco. Farnsworth made his first successful electronic television transmission on September 7, 1927, and filed a patent for his system that same year.
Explanation:
Farnsworth continued to perfect his system and gave the first demonstration to the press in September 1928. His backers at the Crocker First National Bank were eager to be bought out by a much larger company and in 1930 made overtures to the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), which sent the head of their electronic television project, Vladimir Zworykin, to evaluate Farnsworth’s work. Zworykin’s receiver, the kinescope, was superior to that of Farnsworth, but Farnsworth’s camera tube, the image dissector, was superior to that of Zworykin. Zworykin was enthusiastic about the image dissector, and RCA offered Farnsworth $100,000 for his work. He rejected the offer.

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Explanation:
Read Part One of Article B on sea otters.
If you have ever watched sea otters swim and play at your local zoo, you know they are extraordinary animals. But did you know they are under threat of extinction? That means no more sea otters in the wild and fewer in captivity. Sea otters have been on the Endangered Species List for over 45 years, but there are actions humans can take to protect them.
The Fur Trade
In the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,000−2,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.
Despite their comeback, sea otters are sadly still an endangered species. This is due to predators and human impact on the sea otter's habitat.
Predators
Sea otters are threatened by other animals in the water and on land. Killer whales are one of the sea otter's main predators now that the seal and sea lion populations are declining. Sharks, sea lions, and eagles also pluck sea otters from the water while bears and coyotes will hunt them on land. Sea otters use their intelligence to outsmart some of their predators. They also use their sharp teeth to protect themselves.
What is the author's point of view on the reason the sea otter population recovered?
Laws were passed to shorten the number of months in sea otter hunting season.
Sea otters learned to eat a more varied diet, saving themselves from extinction.
Conservation efforts in the last half of the twentieth century saved sea otters.
More people started owning sea otters as pets, which increased their number.
Answer:
the answer is c Conservation efforts in the last half of the twenthith century saved sea otters
Explanation:
the reason that the author states in the passage is that conservation efforts by humans during the last half of the 20th century allowed the sea otters to bounce back
