Explanation:
Compare the two stories “sound of thunder” and “nethergrave” by arguing which is the best. Provide 3 reasons why?
PLEASE I WILL GIVE 20 points!!
Hope this helps, this is two paragraphs that need slight editing .
I think, “Nethergrave” by Gloria Skurzynski represents a more accurate portrayal towards technology because the settings show that the way you other people describe themselves isn’t always true, and how you can easily give in to something that isn’t good for you. “A sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury gives me the thought that technology can be dangerous, although we don’t always see how. Both “The sound of Thunder and Nethergrave” are excellent Science fiction stories, to tell vital lessons in life. Both of stories are strong in relating emotions into familiar activities, such as school and meetings.
“The Sound of Thunder” fits into a science fiction genre, due to the fact that the characters go back into time; with the events that follow the whole world is changed when one little tiny thing is affected. Many of the things that happen in the story can be applied into real life, many of which you would not think about. The theme of the story is very realistic but futuristic at the same time; therefore, making it very complicated with real problems in the modern world but not having it appear that way. The story has a diamon effect when Eckles stepped on the butterfly it had changed everything in the world when they had returned. The exact quotes are “Not a little thing like that! Not a butterfly!” cried Eckels. “It fell to the floor, an exquisite thing, a small thing that could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time.”
“Nethergrave” by Gloria Skurzynski is very realistic then takes a turn, in my opinion it is a very hard story to follow. It has shown that you cannot trust others while “A sound of Thunder” is telling you not to trust yourself in stressful situations. In Nethergrave it has Jeremy believing other people, when more times than not he is disappointed by the actual descriptions of his only friends. Once again this story sheds light on real problems in modern life. The story is in the science fiction genre because it has very futurist properties such as the advanced computer system, the advanced technology and how he has it all.
From the stories, it can be deduced that Nethergrave represents a more accurate portrayal towards technology.
In Nethergrave, the settings illustrated that the way you other people describe themselves isn’t always true, and how you can easily give in to something that isn’t good for you.
On the other hand, "A sound of Thunder” gives the thought that technology can be dangerous, although we don’t always see how.
In conclusion, both stories are excellent science fiction stories.

Many of them voted for Trump.______
And so we left the party. _______
Karina faced many challenges because of this. ______
So she went to the store. ________
Answer:
1. Independent clause
2. Independent clause
3. Dependent clause
4. Independent clause
5. Dependent clause
Explanation:
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. It has all characteristics a sentence must have - it contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. Independent clauses are connected to each other by coordinating conjunctions (e.g. but - But I did not speak up for myself).
A dependent clause is a clause that can't stand alone as a sentence. It provides additional information about the independent clause, and without it, the dependent clause doesn't express a complete thought. That's why it can't stand alone. Dependent clauses are connected to independent clauses by subordinating conjunctions (And so we left the party, So she went to the store).

Among the given examples, the best and correctly punctuated sentence is option (a). This is because there are just two qualities of the "team MVP" listed, which needs no comma or separation. Also, the sentence contains just one independent clause and thus, requires no use of the comma.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.
An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.
Here are some examples:
Niagara Falls, the natural wonder in New York, is not the tallest in the country. - the underlined part is an appositive, and the part written in bold letters is the part of the sentence the appositive explains. As we can see, the appositive explains what Niagara Falls are.My brother Jim lives in Kansas. - names preceded by words that describe their status/title are usually appositions. In cases such as this one, they are considered essential, which is why they are not framed by commas.OK GUYS I NEED HELP ASAP SO I AM WRITTING A ESSAY BUT I NEED SOME IDEAS, SO THE ESSAY IS ON LOYALTY SO ANYTHING BASED ON LOYALTY WILL HELP I WILL GIVE BRAILIEST AND POINTS SO PLZ I NEED SOME IDEAS ASAP PLZZZ!!!!

HELP ASAP! Why is making inferences an important part of reading? And how do explicit and implicit details work together when you're drawing inferences as a reader?
Answer:
Inferences are an important part of reading because they are an important part of writing everything would be far to long if you had to completely explain every single thing. Inferences are something of an intuition to help readers understand what the author is trying to say. Explicit, and implicit details work together to create an inference about something by telling you something exactly (explicit) and hinting at something (implicit).

Explanation:
Ehrenreich acknowledges that because she can return to her comfortable, middle-class standard of living whenever she wants to, her experiment doesn’t really allow her to genuinely experience or feel the desperation and negative long-term effects of surviving on a low-wage income. Nevertheless, do you think her experience enabled her and her readers to acquire a better understanding of the difficulties of surviving on low-wage pay, or was Ehrenreich essentially an outsider who could never truly comprehend the plight of the working poor? Support your opinion with examples and reasons.
Answer:
I do think her experience enabled readers to acquire a better understanding of the difficulties of surviving on low-wage pay. This book details what it is like to be someone who does not have enough money to do more than get by and gives readers an insight of what it is like to live that way. No two people will have the same experiences and what is considered to be low wage differs for everybody so she cannot be an outsider. She provides examples of having to apply to job after job after job so she can have money to do the sole task of living. She also talks about having to go from place to place because she could not afford them. Finally, she could not even look for homes because she was too busy trying to have a stable income. She displays many of the difficulties to her readers in this book.
