PLEASE HELP!!!! How do you think cell phones affect attention in class? Describe an experiment you could perform to test your hypothesis. Include your hypothesis, operational definitions of your independent and dependent variables, who your participants would be, and how you would randomly assign them to experimental or control groups.
Answer:
well you could have a test group where they don't have phones(independent variable or control group) and students (of any age) who have.
but the dependent variable (or the one being changed) is the test grades of students. measure the grades of the students with-out phones and ones who have phone.
Explanation:
if all goes correctly, the average of the people who use phones should be relatively lower than students who do not have phones (never mentioned range because some students can have the highest grade out of all the control group and still have a phone)
We cannot absolutely know that all these exact adaptations are the result of preconcert. But when we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which we know have been gotten out at different times and places and by different workmen-Stephen, Franklin, Roger, and James, for instance-and when we see these timbers joined together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill, all the tenons and mortices exactly fitting, and all the lengths and proportions of the different pieces exactly adapted to their respective places, and not a piece too many or too few-not omitting even scaffolding-or, if a single piece be lacking, we can see the place in the frame exactly fitted and prepared to yet bring such piece in -- in such a case, we find it impossible not to believe that Stephen and Franklin and Roger and James all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan or draft drawn up before the first lick was struck.

Daniel perused the college catalogs for the hundredth time. Both universities had numerous selling points; they both had superior
reputations for their academic programs and both offered campus settings that fit his lifestyle. The only clear difference he could find between the
schools was location. One university was only an hour from home while the other was across the country. Daniel had tossed this thought around
for months while attempting to decide whether he wanted to stay so close to home, where visits would be easy, or if he was really prepared to go
across country, where visits would be limited to major holidays. Tomorrow was his final opportunity to accept or reject each school. It was time to
get out of limbo and move forward with a firm decision.
Dictionary
limbo n.
1. place of confinement
2. state of neglect
3. transitional location
4. state of uncertainty
Which meaning of limbo is used in the passage?
Answer:
The meaning of limbo as used in the passage is:
4. state of uncertainty.
Explanation:
This question is testing our ability to identify the correct meaning of a word according to the context. All four options provided present meanings for the word "limbo". But which one has the meaning that goes with the ideas presented in the text?
After reading the passage, we know that Daniel is undecided when it comes to which university to attend. He has been struggling with this choice for quite some time now since both universities offer him everything he wants. Thus, Daniel is in a limbo in the sense that he is in a place of uncertainty, of not knowing what to choose. With that in mind, we pick number 4 as the best option.

“That educated didn’t mean smart. He had a point. Nothing in my education or knowledge of the future had helped me to escape. Yet in a few years an illiterate runaway named Harriet Tubman would make nineteen trips into this country and lead three hundred fugitives to freedom.”
What does that mean to you?
Answer:
This passage is showing that you can be incredibly smart or successful without education. The passage used the example of Harriet Tubman who was incredibly successful at leading 300 slaves to freedom. This great accomplishment had to have taken a great deal of intelligence and wit. Harriet obviously did not get her thinking skills from a traditional form of education. Therefore it shows that you do not need education to be intelligent or smart.
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in approximately 1818. After several unsuccessful attempts, Douglass escaped from slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts. In 1845, he wrote his first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which had a profound influence on the movement to abolish slavery. Harriet Jacobs was born in North Carolina in 1813. Like Douglass, Jacobs was born into slavery. She eventually escaped and settled in New York. Also like Douglass, she wrote an autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, which revealed the horrors of life under slavery. Both Douglass and Jacobs went on to become vocal supporters of the antislavery movement. What is the main idea of the passage
I looked this question up and was able to find two answer options for it:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
B. Douglass and Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800's.
Answer:
The main idea of the passage is:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
Explanation:
From the passage, we can safely infer that both Douglass and Jacobs escaped slavery in the 1800's taking into consideration the year they were born. However, that is not the focus of the paragraph. Notice how the author compares Douglass' and Jacobs' lives, focusing especially on the fact that they both wrote autobiographies and became supporters of the antislavery movement. This is the main idea of the passage: that Douglass and Jacobs become authors and that they described their own experience as slaves in their books.
ead the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis." There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle. One day I took him up to the barn loft and showed him his casket, telling him how we all had believed he would die. It was covered with a film of Paris green sprinkled to kill the rats, and screech owls had built a nest inside it. Doodle studied the mahogany box for a long time, then said, "It’s not mine." "It is," I said. "And before I’ll help you down from the loft, you’re going to have to touch it." What symbol is described in this excerpt, and what does it represent?
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
What symbol is described in this excerpt, and what does it represent?
A. the owls, which symbolize knowledge and wisdom.
B. the nest, which symbolizes home and family.
C. the rats, which symbolize cruelty and sadness.
D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.
Answer:
The symbol and its representation is:
D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.
Explanation:
James Hurst was an American novelist born in North Carolina in 1922. He published the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" in 1960.
Doodle is just a little boy but he has an incredibly sad story. He was born with serious health problems, so no one ever thought he would live long. In the passage we are analyzing here, the narrator, who is Doodle's older brother, is showing Doodle his casket. A casket is an obvious representation of death, and quite a strong predictor of what is to come later in the story. Doodle does not accept the casket as his, but it seems that he hasn't got much of a choice. Everyone already expects him to die.

Read this sentence from the story.
A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a “cub reporter.”
Which earlier part of the story does this sentence refer to?
The narrator is not sure which kind of writer she wants to become.
The narrator interviews for a job for which she is not qualified.
The narrator has a long and challenging job search.
The narrator is panicking during her first day on the job.
The passage prior to the text: ⬇
I was in full-on panic mode. Here I was on my first day as an inexperienced reporter having to cover an important story with little guidance. I was starting to regret my decision to take the job. What was I doing here? I wasn’t a journalism major. I didn’t have a “beat.” I didn’t even know all the rules about dealing with sources and off-the-record information.
The previous spring, I’d taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.
By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview. Unfortunately, I was very unqualified for the job at the time. Then a woman I worked with at my part-time job told me about a reporter position opening up at the newspaper chain where her daughter worked. Though I’d never thought about being a reporter, I figured it couldn’t hurt to go on the interview. In addition to interview experience, the opportunity meant I was officially networking. All the job search materials I’d read stressed the importance of networking in finding a job.

essay on frakenstein
Answer:
The monster in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein lurches into life as big as a man but as ignorant as a newborn. He can’t read, speak, or understand the rudiments of human interaction. When he stumbles upon the cottagers, however, he picks up language by observing them and studying their speech. It is this acquisition of language, along with the eloquence it brings, that turns the monster from a mysterious nightmare into a sympathetic and tragic figure. By showing how language transforms the monster, and by contrasting the well-spoken monster with his equally articulate creator, Shelley argues that verbal communication—rather than action or appearance—is the only way through which people can truly understand one another.Before the monster learns to express himself, his actions are no less than terrifying. His escape from Victor’s workshop seems sinister and his murder of William apparently confirms the notion that he is a powerful, malignant beast capable of unmotivated violence. His shocking appearance does not help matters. Victor assumes, and Shelley invites us to assume along with him, that this being, with his patched-together body, his yellow skin, and his black lips, must have a soul that matches his hideous appearance.
When the monster speaks, however, he throws his actions into a different light. He explains that Victor’s desertion left him alone and frightened. He conveys how hurt he was when he realized that his appearance scares normal people. His stories about sympathizing with and secretly helping the cottagers show that he has an empathetic nature, and his tale of rescuing a young girl and getting a bullet for his trouble demonstrates his instinct to help those weaker than himself, sparking our outrage at society’s unwarranted cruelty toward him. Even the monster’s description of William’s murder makes the convincing case that fury at Victor drove the monster to violence—not an excuse, by any means, but certainly an explanation that is understandable and psychologically credible. By giving the monster the power of oratory, Shelley forces us to consider his behavior from an entirely different angle and to sympathize with his plight.
Shelley bolsters our sympathy for the monster by comparing his words to Victor’s. Frankenstein is Victor’s story; he has countless opportunities to argue his case and cast himself as the tragic hero of the tale. Despite his earnest—and long-winded—attempts to put himself in the right, however, Victor’s words only alienate us as they pile up. He feels little besides relief when the monster escapes; he lets Justine go to her death rather than risk his reputation by telling the truth; he whines and prevaricates; he heartlessly abandons and scorns his own creation. Ironically, Victor would be more appealing were he to lose the power of speech. Unlike his monster, he is no murderer. By themselves, his actions might seem reasonable. But because he bares his soul by communicating verbally to us, the readers, he reveals the unappealing motivations behind those reasonable actions and loses our trust and sympathy.
The monster’s eloquent words do not have the effect he intends: They fail to win Victor’s approval or gain his affection. They do have an effect he cannot foresee, however. By explicating himself and his actions, the monster gains our favor and turns himself into the hero of Victor Frankenstein’s narrative. And by pulling off this neat reversal, Shelley demonstrates the overwhelming importance of language in shaping individuals’ identities—as well as the perception of those identities by others.
