Read the excerpt from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress."
With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear.
“My daughters are having a game of ball in the garden,” said the king to the huntress. “Would you like to put away your arrows and your spear and go play with them?” Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain.
“Perhaps you would rather stay with the queen, and look at the women spin and weave,” said the king.
“No,” answered Atalanta. “I am going with the warriors to hunt the wild boar in the forest.”
The men gasped. They had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars. “If she goes, then I will not,” muttered one. “Nor will I,” said another, a little more loudly. “Why, the whole world would laugh at us, and we should never hear the end of it.” “Nor will I,” exclaimed a third. “The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.”
Many of the men guffawed and hooted at the young huntress. But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace.
Which detail best supports the inference that Atalanta struggles to overcome gender stereotypes?
“But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace."
“'The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.'”
"With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear."
"Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain."
Answer it c "With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear."

Are a Jehovah's witness, if not, would you consider being one???
Answer:
I am not
Explanation:
I'm not religious
Answer:
I am not a Jehovah's witness because I was not raised in this faith. I would, however, consider being one because I find it very interesting. I think I would struggle with the restrictions on so many aspects of life, but it would be fascinating to experience a new faith and see if I could participate in it.
Explanation:
Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles per hour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. That's another word for train. You see, before trains, moving the circus was hard. They had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. More stages or "rings" were added and the show went on. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus relied on the train to transport their astounding show until they went defunct in 2017.

Poem 1: The Rainy Day
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering1 wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
5 And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall think in the blast,
10 And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining2;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
15 Some days must be dark and dreary.
Mouldering: decaying; rottingRepining: complaining
Poem 2: The Castle-Builder
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,
A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,
A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,
And towers that touch imaginary skies.
5 A fearless rider on his father’s knee,
An eager listener unto stories told
At the Round Table of the nursery,
Of heroes and adventures manifold.
There will be other towers for thee to build;
10 There will be other steeds for thee to ride;
There will be other legends, and all filled
With greater marvels and more glorified.
Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, ,
Rising and reaching upward to the skies;
15 Listening to voices in the upper air,
Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.” If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. Which statement explains how this excerpt relates to the position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time? Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home.
C is the answer.
A: Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Wrong - the expectation was for women to both work in the home AND raise children
B: Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Wrong- these two things aren't really connected. And poor women were/are more likely to be working.
C: Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. The first part is true (text evidence: "even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable thing"). So is the second part- women only working in the home was (and is) taken for granted, as it was the norm. C is correct.
D: Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home. Totally wrong- women were restricted and discouraged from having individual careers so it didn't happen often.

Happy homes was writen in the 1200s

Select the correct text in the passage.
Sarah has written an outline for an essay. One of her bullet points shows that educating the public about the importance of using seat belts convinces more people to use them. In which part of the outline can this idea be found?
Introduction
Car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens. Of the teens that died in car accidents last year, more than half of them were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Seat belts may not be comfortable or feel cool to wear, but they can save lives. They reduce serious injuries and deaths by more than half. People tend to use seat belts less often if there are no seat belt laws in their state. In order to prevent injuries, there should be seat belt education in schools, laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and awareness campaigns for the public. Body Paragraph Every school should have some type of health education program. This program should review the importance of healthy eating and exercise, the body systems, and refraining from drugs and alcohol. These things can protect your health and keep you safe. But car accidents are the number one killer for teenagers. In order to prevent deaths, seat belt education needs to be included in health education programs. When students understand the importance of wearing a seat belt, they will be more likely to wear seat belts in the car. In 1985, the Ad Council introduced a commercial featuring the crash test dummies. The ad said, “You could learn a lot from a dummy.” People wearing seat belts increased from 14% to 79%. Conclusion Taking the time to teach seat belt education in schools, creating laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and using awareness campaigns to educate the public can help prevent injuries and deaths on the road.
