Answer:
The Grimms embellished stories with more details in their final editions.
Explanation:
In "How The Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairytale", author Jack Zipes narrates how the Grimm brothers 'developed' and enhanced their stories with time. The author provides the history of the development of the children's tales that would become historically significant not only in Germany but all through the literary world all over the globe.
In the given excerpt, the author shows how the Grimms changed their descriptive development in their stories. Like here, for example, the tale of Rapunzel in the First and seventh editions differ mostly in their description of the same scene or detail.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Science Mysteries: Why Do People Yawn?
Science has given humans many amazing devices and useful bits of knowledge. We know so much about our bodies and how to stay healthy, for example. We also know how to make machines and devices that make life easy for us. Scientists dedicate their lives to knowledge, but even with a lifetime commitment, sometimes scientists fail to find all the answers. One mystery that still remains unsolved is why we yawn—what makes us yawn and what purpose it serves.
Recent studies suggest that we yawn when we get tired as a way to encourage our brains. The theory is that yawning helps cool the brain, allowing it to work more efficiently. According to WebMD's article about these studies, when you yawn, your jaw muscles get stretched, increasing blood flow to your neck, face, and head. Also a deep breath during the yawn forces spinal fluid and blood down from the brain. The cool air then cools down these fluids.
Other scientists believe, however, that yawning is a form of communication. This theory attempts to explain why yawning seems to spread from person to person. This kind of behavior is called "contagious yawning" and carries with it a possible social message. Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the message is, but they believe people who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning when they see someone else yawning.
Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn. Is it a leftover behavior from before humans had language? Was it a "Hey, I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep" message? Or is it really just a way to keep our brains cool? While this behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain: you are probably fighting the urge to yawn right about now.
Which word from the text best describes scientists' understanding of the yawn? (5 points)
a
Mystery
b
Breath
c
Language
d
Message
Answer:
mystery
Explanation:
Throughout the passage, the author repeatedly refers to yawning as a mystery. For example, "One mystery that still remains unsolved is why we yawn—what makes us yawn and what purpose it serves." and "Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn." and also, "while this behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain:"

Roland, the artist, brilliantly captured the fading pastel light on his canvas, and he preserved the sunset for future generations to enjoy.
Which statement correctly describes the sentence?
It is one long independent clause.
It is one independent clause and one dependent clause.
It is two dependent clauses joined by a subordinating conjunction.
It is two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
Answer:
two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction
Explanation:
Both clauses stand alone
Roland's artistic captures are correctly described in option (d) or (iv): " It is two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction."
How do you use coordinating conjunctions?A comma is used before the coordinating conjunction when it connects two separate sentences (unless the two independent clauses are very short).
Commas should never be used after conjunctions that aren't followed by non-essential elements.
A compound sentence is made up of at least two clauses that are independent of one another.
Therefore, the sentence given here is separated with adequate commas prooving coordinating conjunctions.

Answer:
C or "by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals' intellectual development"
Explanation:
A)by suggesting that forced uniformity specifically benefits individuals who are not smart
C)by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals' intellectual development
These two answers make the most sense, but with the wording of the question, suggest a lean towards the second.
Considering it wants a warning of the consequences it seems to want something negative, which C offers. A actually provides support for uniformity, but also makes more sense in the context of what was just read, especially in regards to the last line.
I would suggest you take a deeper look at the previous questions to see whether your teacher really wants you to view the text in a good or bad light, which would help you identify the best answer; but for now I suggest C.

On p.857, Walter asks, "Ruth, what is it gets into people ought to be close?" When they try to talk about why they are having such problems, they reach no conclusion. What do you think the playwright wants us to understand as the cause of their problems
Answer:
The playwright wants the reader to understand that the main cause among the problems was the lack of communication and understanding among family members.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented in the question above is an excerpt from the play "A raisin in the sun" which features a family who received a large amount of money, which, despite changing their lives, proved that many problems affected all members of the family. These problems often become much bigger than what they should be due to the internal fights in the family, caused by the lack of communication, understanding and trust between the members. This is highlighted in the excerpt presented in the question above, where Walter, one of the main characters, feels uncomfortable with how the emotional distance between family members has affected everyone's lives.

In April 2010, an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Millions of gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf, devastating
wildlife. Scientists tried to clean up the spill in a variety of ways. One approach involved the use of oil-eating
bacteria. However, scientists were divided on its effectiveness. Some maintained that the bacteria were "fairly
fast" in cleaning the spill. Officials reported that the Gulf would make a full recovery by 2012. Yet Samantha Joye,
a marine scientist, disagreed. She conducted a study of the sea floor. She found that the bacteria had cleaned
only 10 percent of the oil. She reported that the Gulf would take many years to recover.
