Read this excerpt from "Heads Up on Sports Safety."
Your neck can also get hurt while playing football, so many helmet designers are using materials that prevent neck injuries. One common injury is whiplash, which is a sudden hit to the head that moves the neck very quickly. Neck padding can help, but materials that prevent the head from turning can decrease athletic performance. One alternative is to use a thermoplastic material that responds differently to different kinds of pressure. This material is soft when moved or pressed slowly but stiffens into a hard version of its shape when hit quickly. It has been used in bulletproof vests for at least a decade.
One problem and its solution presented in this article is
the possibility of whiplash and the use of thermoplastic material to prevent the neck from turning very quickly.
the efforts made by helmet designers to find new protective materials and the use of thermoplastic material to prevent neck injuries.
the fact that neck injuries can be hard to avoid and the occurrence of whiplash when the head moves quickly.
the probability of head injuries in sports and the use of bulletproof vests by athletes to stay safe.

Answer:
wjbq
Explanation:
Card games and puzzles have had their fair shares of similarites and differences. For example, you require two or more players for a card, whilst you may only need 1 for a puzzle. Card games are known more than puzzles, and have far better sales. The hit card game "UNO" is very popular all around the world, even having an online version for those who don't have access to the real deal. There aren't manny puzzles in the world known, but huge brands such as Disney make puzzles for their shows and movies; but they are almost always ruled out by card games, one being "Solitare", which is very big. There are also very popular puzzles, the most popular one being "The Golden Girls Jigsaw Puzzle". Overall, card games are more popular than puzzles, but both are still popular and can easily trick the mind at any given time.

Interrogative pronouns are the pronouns that are used to ask questions. They are only five interrogative pronouns, also known as the "wh-" questions - "what, which, who, whom, and whose."
These five "wh-" questions ask simple questions and are found only in questions or indirect questions. They are also used in inquiring ways, to try to get information.

1. Identify Patterns Lines 1-3 of the poem include a simile, a comparison between
two unlike things that uses the word like or as. What idea does the simile convey?
Explain how this simile helps establish a pattern in the poem.
Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to formulate a question exactly. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The simile is a figure of speech that establishes the comparison between two elements that have different contests, but that can, subjectively, promote a link between both. The idea of the simile is to create a symbolism, a different meaning, that in a subjunctive way shows a characteristic, that promotes a strong meaning.
In 5-10 sentences explain why Ambrose Bierce does not write his story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, in chronological order. What do we learn from Farquhar’s flashbacks? How does this impact readers understanding of the story?
Answer and Explanation:
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce set during the Civil War. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge that would allow Union soldiers to cross into Confederate territory.
Bierce does not narrate this story in chronological order. By doing that, he gets to trick readers, especially towards the end. In the first part of the story, Farquhar is already about to be hanged, having been accused of treason. However, the second part is a flashback. We get to know who Farquhar is and how he got tricked into trying to burn the bridge. In part three, the narrator deceives readers. It is time to actually hang Farquhar. But, while Bierce separated reality and flashback into two different parts before, he does not do that now. Reality and hallucinations are mixed. We are led to believe that the noose broke and that Farquhar was able to escape and return home. We are brought back to reality in a sudden, almost cruel way:
Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.
Farquhar never escaped. He hallucinated in the brief moments it took him to die from hanging.
Which statement best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter? An unorthodox family struggles to be together in spite of a community's disapproval. Through faith, all sin can be washed away and individuals can start anew. A heartbroken husband cannot bear to part with his unfaithful wife and her offspring. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:
D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
Explanation:
There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them. In Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.
The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well. For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Cassie was unhappy in her relationship with Richard. There wasn't anything wrong with him. He did cut her off occasionally while she was trying to speak, but he was generally a good guy. She just wanted something different. She decided that tonight she would break up with Richard. When he arrived at her house, she wanted to talk with him about it, but he rushed her out the door. "No time to talk now, Babe," he said. "We're late for our dinner reservations." She figured that she would tell him at the restaurant, near the end of the meal. She would even offer to pay. So they enjoyed a delicious meal together. Then, right before dessert, Cassie opened her mouth to let out the fatal words. "Richard..." she began, but Richard broke in, "Oh, Babe, I got a surprise for you." He pulled a small white envelope from his pocket. "Two front row tickets to see your favorite band, The Mountain Boys!" Cassie's mouth dropped. She loved the Mountain Boys. Richard backpedaled, "I'm sorry that I cut you off again. What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Cassie looked down at the piece of cake in front of her and replied, "Oh, I forgot. Nothing important."

Why do you think Mrs. Debroy shared the ‘Feather story’ with the students?
Answer:
(There's a correction, the 'Feather pillow' story was told by Ms. Guha and not Mrs. Debroy.)
Ms. Guha shared the 'Feather story' with the students to teach them a lesson on how much our words are valuable.
Explanation:
'Just for Fun' is a play that gives a moral on how important our words are and that one should not say those words which can not be taken back.
In the story, Ms. Guha shares a story of 'Feather pillow' with the students in the class. The story is about a man who spreads rumors and gossip about a wise man, whose advice he did not like. Through the story, Ms. Guha teaches the students a lesson that one should not spread rumors because just like feathers taken out of the pillow can not be filled back against, rumors and gossip spread can not be taken back.
Would it be fair if your teacher treated people in your classroom with brown eyes differently than people with blue eyes? Why, or why not?
It would be very unfair. If the people with brown eyes get treated worse, they might learn less from their rude teacher. If brown eyes were treated better, then they might grow up to be very disrespectful and spoiled.
