TWICE I WALKED WITH DINOSAURS

One summer we found

a dead baby shark

washed up on the beach,

cut it open with a dinner knife

[5]from the house,

and performed an

outdoor autopsy.1

As we marveled2 at its

miniature anatomy,

[10]reveled3 in the smallness

of each little organ,

seagulls circled overhead.

The ocean was quiet,

barely making waves.

[15]It kept vigil4 for its tiny causality.

The spring prior,

an alligator wandered

onto the beach during my

uncle’s second wedding.

[20]It was far enough away

to merit an absence of fear, but

nobody took photos or said

a word— we just stared

as it settled itself in the surf,

[25]hoping to be cleansed.

Question:
How do the words used to describe the speaker’s examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?

Sunscreen is a hot topic every summer. Dermatologists recommend wearing it every day to protect your skin from solar radiation. But skeptics say it can cause more harm than good by exposing you to dangerous chemicals and causing Vitamin D deficiency. There are two good reasons to wear sunscreen: to protect your health, and to protect your looks. Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer. Over time, it also makes skin saggy and wrinkled. Numerous studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen reduces the occurrence of skin cancer, and also keeps skin smoother and more elastic. In contrast, there is little evidence that sunscreens currently on the market contain ingredients that are harmful when absorbed. It doesn’t take much sunlight to produce all the Vitamin D needed for good health, either. Which of the options below is the most effective conclusion to the essay? Dermatologists recommend wearing sunscreen every day to protect your skin from the sun’s radiation, although some skeptics worry about exposure to dangerous chemicals and Vitamin D deficiency. Many studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen is good for you. There is little evidence it is harmful. In closing, the evidence for wearing sunscreen is clear and bright, while the arguments against it are partly cloudy at best. Use it every day, and your skin will look and be healthy. Walt Whitman said, “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” Easy to for him say when he always wore a thick beard and big hat, but everyone else should either seek out those shadows or put on some sunscreen. Poetry can soothe your soul, but only sunscreen will protect your skin. Sunscreens work in two ways. Some use minerals to form a physical barrier that reflects radiation away from your skin. Others include chemical compounds that absorb the sunlight before your skin does. When used properly, both types of sunscreen can protect your skin from damage.

Which of the following statements is the BEST comparison of the two passages? (Paragraphs at the bottom)


Both writers point out the negative consequences of having preteens post material online.


Both writers think that preteens should participate in social media to prepare them for the future.


Both writers think that preteens are old enough to understand the consequences of their online activities.


Only one writer thinks that preteens are old enough to understand the consequences of their online activities.


Because social media has become so prevalent in our society, it is important for adolescents to learn how to use these tools appropriately. By the time children reach the age of 11 or 12, they have already become quite aware of the allure of social media. Eleven is old enough for children to understand the consequences of their actions, both online and off. During the preteen years, children should begin participating in the world of social media so that they will be well prepared to interact in this world by the time they become teenagers and adults.
—Point, paragraph 2

Of course, preteens can’t be expected to have the foresight necessary to keep from posting words and images that might come back to haunt them later. People are especially sensitive to criticism and embarrassment during the preteen years, and something that might seem like a good idea to post one day might be a terrible idea the next. Once something is posted on the Internet, it remains there forever. Even after you take it down, it might resurface later—even if you don't want it to! We live in a world in which politicians can be brought down by a single photo unearthed from the Internet. Allowing preteens to upload information to the Internet is too risky for their future.

Excerpt, Theodore Roosevelt, Inaugural Address
Saturday, March 4, 1905
My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of
Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of
our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We
have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any allen race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manller and hardier virtues wither away. Under such
conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of
[vanity), but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free
government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul.
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves, and we can shirk nether. We have become a great nation, forced by the
fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude
must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of
just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain
from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we
think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a
subject for insolent aggression.
What does the author mean with the phrase "we are the helrs of the ages ..."? (5 points)
It has been a long time since such a country existed,
Only those bom here can benefit from the hard work of others.
The country offers great riches to those who work hard,
We have inherited an amazing gift from our forefathers.

But the specter of delivering a speech brown-nosing the teachers jammed her imagination. At first, she didn't want to, and then she couldn't seem to write that speech. She should have thought of it as "a great honor," as her father called it. But she was mortified. She still had a slight accent, and she did not like to speak in public, subjecting herself to her classmates' ridicule. It also took no great figuring to see that to deliver a eulogy for a convent full of crazy, old, overweight nuns was no way to endear herself to her peers

Only Answer If You Can Truly Help and I'll Give You Brainliest). A debatable topic, one that has two or more sides. It should be a topic that's appropriate for educational purposes and that would interest a broad audience. Consider choosing a topic on which people can take action. You may choose from these topics: 1) violence in video games or movies does or does not influence young people. 2) Using animals as test subjects for medications is ethical or unethical. 3) Argue what is the best way to reduce homelessness in the United States. 4) Green energy is or is not a realistic alternative to fossil fuels. 5) Choose a local issue such as funding cuts or increases for public services like libraries, parks, police, or fire service. 6) Choose a local issue such as homelessness, environmental problems ( waste, water shortages, etc. ) or lack of mental health services. Or, if a different topic comes to mind and meets the criteria, you may use it. Once you have chosen a topic, do a quick online search to see if there is enough information available about it. If the topic is so broad that you think you cannot do it justice in a single paper, try narrowing it. One way to narrow a topic is to ask yourself questions to which you would like to learn the answers. For example, suppose the broad topic is this: Alternative medicines - helpful, unhelpful, or harmful? You might write down questions that make you curious, for example: 1) What types of alternatives medicines exist? 2) What ailments are alternative medicines claimed to be effective for? 3) What studies have been done about alternative medicines? 4) What results have doctors and patients reported? Such questions can guide your research. 1) Write your topic. 2) Write two or more questions that you would like answered about your topic. 3) If you wish to narrow your topic, write the narrow version here. 4) Phrase your topic as a research question that your project will answer.
