Read (or reread) these two paragraphs from a science course, looking for differences in how the ideas are organized and presented.
Light
Light passes through some materials without scattering. We call objects of this kind transparent. Clear glass and clear plastic wrap are two transparent objects. Other objects, such as wax paper or frosted glass, let some light through but scatter or block the rest. These objects are translucent. Then there are opaque objects, which do not let any light through. Opaque objects block all light. Instead, they produce shadows on a surface when an object prevents light from reaching that surface. You are an opaque object. So is a wooden door, a refrigerator, or a moose.
Sound
Sound travels in waves that are produced when something vibrates. Sound waves are invisible—we cannot see the movement of sound through the air with our eyes. Unlike light, sound needs a medium, something to travel through. Sounds can move through solids like walls or clothing, liquids such as water, or gases such as air. Walls, water, and air are all examples of different media through which sound travels.
Which answer does a good job of contrasting thetwo paragraphs?
Both paragraphs use lots of familiar images to help readers imagine how energy flows through things.
One paragraph introduces and defines basic terms while the other sticks with more basic information.
Both paragraphs focus on substances that an energy form might travel through.
One paragraph is about how light travels, and the other is about how sound travels.
Answer:
One paragraph introduces and defines basic terms while the other sticks with more basic information.
Explanation:
Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."
The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.
The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to
teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.
persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.
argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.
compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.

Determine whether the following is an example of direct or indirect characterization.
"Dally didn't care about anyone but himself, and he was cold and hard and mean."
Group of answer choices
A. Direct Characterization
B. Indirect Characterization
Answer:
A.Direct Characterization
Explanation:
When the narrator states facts about a character’s personality
Ex. “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well-mannered and did not disobey their mother.”
The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.” Both are “well-mannered.”
When an author uses direct characterization, the reader doesn’t have to do any “detective work”
What does this phrase mean?

Who is the speaker of the poem? How do you know? Refer to one or more details from the beginning of the text to support your response.
The poem:
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
Answer:
The speaker of the poem is the darker brother, which probably refers to a african-american man. We know this because he says "I am the darker brother" and the poem is in first person POV which means he is speaking from his experience.

Explanation:
In The Secret Garden, Mary Lennox is sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven, after a cholera outbreak kills her parents, whith whom she was living in India, although she rarely got the opportunity to see them.
Master Craven is still grieving the death of his wife, an event that occurs ten years prior to the start of the novel. Mistress Craven had a garden that Master Craven locks up after her death.
Mary, a curious young girl, wants desperately to find a way to enter the garden, and so she workes tirelessly to find something that may let her enter. She gets relatively far when she hears crying from a section of the mansion, which she has been told she may not enter.
However, Mary disregards these rules and finds Colin Craven, her uncle's son, who, just like his father, is a hunchback. Mary befriends Colin, and together they continue their search for a way to enter the secret garden.
What wave property is different between each region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Answer:
The different types of radiation are defined by the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.
Explanation:
The wave properties that are different between each region of the electromagnetic spectrum are wavelength and frequency.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?The electromagnetic spectrum shows the ranges of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They tell the frequencies of electromagnetic radiations with respect to their wavelengths and energies of photons. Radiation is an entity that travels and passes through objects.
The energy contained in the photons determines the various forms of radiation. Low-energy photons make up radio waves; microwave photons have a little bit more energy than radio waves; infrared photons have much more energy, and the most energetic photons of them are gamma rays.
Therefore, the differences between each region of the electromagnetic spectrum are frequency and wavelength.
