Answer:
Main idea: The most important point that the author wants to make
Supporting details: Evidence that helps make the point
Topic: The overall subject of the text
Explanation:
Read the excerpt from "Honest Work."
At last the mighty sheet anchor was cast into the sea, and the old chain quickly uncoiled and ran out till it grew taut. All watched to see if it would bear the awful strain. It sang in the wild storm as the vessel’s weight surged upon it. It was a moment of intense anxiety. The ship with its cargo of a thousand lives depended upon this one chain. What now if the old smith had wrought carelessly even one link of his chain!
What is the effect of the logical fallacy in this excerpt?
It suggests that the chain is not built well enough to withstand the storm.
It implies that the old smith is a better craftsman than the shipbuilder.
It suggests that the ship will only survive because of the chain and doesn't take into account the sturdiness of the ship.
It implies that the ship's passengers are on deck, waiting to see if the one link will keep them from disaster.

Read the following excerpt from John Muir's article "The Wild Parks and Forest Reservations of the West." Then answer the question that follows.
Only thirty years ago, the great Central Valley of California, five hundred miles long and fifty miles wide, was one bed of golden and purple flowers. Now it is ploughed and pastured out of existence, gone forever--scarce a memory of it left in fence corners and along the bluffs of the streams. The gardens of the Sierra, also, and the noble forests in both the reserved and unreserved portions are sadly hacked and trampled, notwithstanding, the ruggedness of the topography--all excepting those of the parks guarded by a few soldiers. In the noblest forests of the world, the ground, once divinely beautiful, is desolate and repulsive, like a face ravaged by disease. This is true also of many other Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain valleys and forests. The same fate, sooner or later, is awaiting them all, unless awakening public opinion comes forward to stop it.
How does Muir try to persuade his audience in this excerpt?
He encourages readers to get as angry as he is about the loss of natural areas.
He appeals to readers' sense of guilt about building cities within wilderness areas.
He encourages readers to stop trampling the land so that it remains beautiful.
He appeals to readers' feelings of nostalgia for natural beauty that might be lost.
Answer:
the last one
Explanation:
He appeals to readers' feelings of nostalgia for natural beauty that might be lost does Muir try to persuade his audience in this excerpt. Hence, option D is correct.
What is John Muir?Both the National Park System and the founding of the Sierra Club are attributed to Muir. He inspired future generations of wilderness champions by educating Americans about the importance of the nation's wilderness.
Through his writings, Muir expressed his love of the natural world and motivated readers to preserve our nation's wilderness areas, inspiring the creation of the National Park Service and the current conservation movement.
Over 300 magazine pieces and 12 books that he authored and published. His passion for exploration, the outdoors, the wild, and the interconnectedness of everything is evident in his books and essays. He was finishing up a book about his adventures across Alaska when he passed away.
Thus, option D is correct.

According to The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, what detail helped scholars determine that the second Egyptian inscription was a simpler form of Egyptian writing that had been created by “the people”?
The scholars had seen examples of it before written on rolls of papyrus, a writing material used by the Egyptians.
Since the scholars had already studied Egyptian languages, they recognized both the hieroglyphs and the demotic version.
The Greek inscription, which had already been deciphered, explained how to translate each of the Egyptian passages.
Since only ancient Egyptians understood hieroglyphs, the scholars knew the second inscription had to be a simpler version of the first.
Answer:
The scholars had seen examples of it before written on rolls of papyrus, a writing material used by the Egyptians.
Answer:
Which had already been deciphered.

Write a space adventure story that features a visit to an alien marketplace.
1 paragraph
Answer:
Two guys named Harlow and Fin were stranded in space, but not technically stranded since they were looking for signs of life beyond the earth's vail. One day while they were cruising through the galaxy they realized they were out of food. So they started scouring around the ship for anything they could find, until Fin accidentally hit space warp. While they got blasted into a new constellation, they had to hold on for dear life since they were quite far from their seats. But finally they arrived at a homey looking shop hovering over the unfamiliar planets. So like any other food starved space cadet they suited up and headed off. While entering the shop they were greeted by forms of life they couldn't of imagined in their whole life. As well as food that looked like it was straight out of a science fiction novel. Fin and Harlow looked around until they decided to pick the gosh garbles. A seemingly candy type substance. But before they left, Fin and Harlow took a selfie with the cashier who was green and slimey with one eye. The creature threw up a muddy peace sign at the tiny machine. Then Fin and Harlow thanked him, even though he didn't understand. Then we're on their way home from a year long mission finalized by success. (sorry this is longer than a paragraph)

Give me a name and quote about video games being good or bad
It can be by you.If you want
Answer:
Lots of kids love video games. In fact, they like them so much that they might hear something like this from mom or dad: "Enough! Find something else to do!"
It can be good advice, even if you were about to get to the next level. Why? Too much of anything is just too much. It's true that some studies have shown certain video games can improve hand–eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and the mind's ability to process information. But too much video game playing may cause problems.It's hard to get enough active play and exercise if you're always inside playing video games. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.Overdoing video games also could affect other important stuff, like friendships and how well a kid does in school. And kids who play violent video games might act more aggressively.But here's the good news: Playing video games some of the time can be OK. Choose quality games, and limit screen time which includes TV, computer, smartphone, tablet, and video game time combined to a reasonable amount.A good game will be the right one for how old you are. Games are rated like movies and your mom or dad can help figure out which ones you should use. If you can choose one that gets you up and moving, that's even better.You might challenge your mom, dad or even your grandma to swing the bat in a game of baseball or try out some fancy moves in one of the dancing games.
