(GIVING BRAINLIEST IF U GET IT CORRECT!! :D)
Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall buildings that make up the landscape of these urban environments are becoming greener. People are trying to help the environment and have found that green roofs are one way to do so. By planting grass and small shrubbery on the tops of buildings, the environment is getting a helping hand.

It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof, but the trend is growing. The basic green roof requires a frame, waterproof membrane, gravel for drainage, fibrous material to retain moisture, soil for planting, and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building.

Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility. It is actually the biggest green roof in the country. Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all.

The city of Chicago, Illinois, now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial, not only to the environment, but also to the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.

Select the reason the author included the point that it is expensive to build a green roof.


A) It contrasts the fact that gravel is needed.

B) It contrasts the fact that the trend is growing.

C) It is a comparison between price and shape.

D) It is a comparison between price and size.

How does the narrator's hearing affect the story?

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes the narrator has an opinion on things and takes sides. But if most people agree on a choice, the narrator usually agrees too. For example, in a fairy tale, snow white fell asleep and most people wanted snow to wake up. (The dwarves) But only the evil queen and her servants wanted her to die. SO if the narrator said

"Snow white was so dramatic and sad and she was so useless. The evil queen on the other hand, deserves to win and she is amazing."

People wouldn't want to read it because the opinion is not very popular.

The sugar industry looks positive because more species are yet to be discovered which will improve supply of sugar cane.

How to Build a Card House
Building card houses is a fun way to spend a rainy
afternoon. All you need is a deck of cards and a large floor
area. Begin by forming an upside-down V with two cards.
Place several of these in a row close together. Place a
third and fourth card horizontally on either side of each
upside-down V. This will help stabilize the base. Then,
you can layer cards across the tops of the V's. This will
become the floor of your second level. Continue building
V's, walls, and roofs until you run out of cards. See how
high you can make your card house before it falls down.
Read the passage carefully. How can the speaker
strengthen this statement: "Place several of these in a
row close together"? Select two choices.
identify how much space to leave between each V
identify the types of cards to use
clarify what is meant by "several"
state the goal of the procedure again
restate how to set the cards

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was abolished. That was because enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults. There was just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, where the native-born enslaved population kept dropping. Sugar was a killer.

Unlike the Caribbean, Louisiana has cold snaps. That put an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. Not only did the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, but the entire crop had to be cut down between mid-October and December. This pace only increased when growers installed improved, steam-powered mills. People needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines.

What is the authors’ purpose in this passage?

to inform the reader that Louisiana had fewer enslaved people than other slave states did
to inform the reader that Louisiana's hot weather hastened the sugar harvest to a few months
to inform the reader that life for enslaved people improved when sugar mills became powered by steam
to inform the reader that Louisiana's short harvest season meant that enslaved people were cruelly overworked

Answers

Answer: Yup that is D. to inform the reader that Louisiana's short harvest season meant that ensalved people were cruelly overworked.

Explanation:

The theme of the passage is D. inform the reader that Louisiana's short harvest season meant that enslaved people were cruelly overworked.

Tool of thief, toy of queen.

Giving all likeness borrowed.
What is it?

Easier, a public riddle. BUT I SWEAR DO NOT LOOK IT UP!!!!

Answers

Answer:

I believe it may be a mask...? This is due to the fact that people like to wear a "mask" (metaphorically speaking) to fake their happiness and hide their sorrow, but other people do not realize that they are faking it. Also, the "thief" part may be representing the person who wears it, as they are kind of stealing other's worries away so they won't have to worry about them, if that makes sense. And the toy of queen may mean how it's usually the people who are most respected fake their happiness, like how they say the funny friend is the most depressed. And the giving all likeliness borrowed is more about faking emotions.
