Answer:
Explanation:
The Second Amendment upholds the right to own and store weapons. But is it right for this day and age. At the time the amendment was written, a soldier was considered very skilled if he could reload 3 times in a minute. That does not even register using today's weapons. Many times three can be discharged when a trigger is pulled and the bullets come out of the barrel. Guns in the hands of the public should be questioned very seriously.
Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest.
I cannot make myself understood. ‘I am not just a jock,’ I say slowly. Distinctly. ‘My transcript for the last year might have been dickied a bit, maybe, but that was to get me over a rough spot. The grades prior to that are de moi.’ My eyes are closed; the room is silent. ‘I cannot make myself understood, now.’ I am speaking slowly and distinctly. ‘Call it something I ate.’
It’s funny what you don’t recall. Our first home, in the suburb of Weston, which I barely remember—my eldest brother Orin says he can remember being in the home’s backyard with our mother in the early spring, helping the Moms till some sort of garden out of the cold yard. March or early April. The garden’s area was a rough rectangle laid out with Popsicle sticks and twine.

Why does Reldresal believe that his people face "the danger of an invasion" from outside? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
This question concerns the novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift.
Reldresal is the principal secretary of Lilliput, one of the strange lands where the main character Gulliver ends up at. Lilliput is inhabited by people who are less than 6 inches tall. Lilliputians spend most of their time discussing trivial matters, and their sense of justice is quite odd.
According to Reldresal, Lilliput faces the possibility of an invasion by Blefuscu, which is also inhabited by tiny people. Lilliput and Blefuscu have engaged in quite a dangerous argument as to whether an egg should be broken on its small side or the large side to be eaten. Both peoples are clearly worried with petty issues. The evidence taken from the book is the following:
Lilliput is "threatened with an invasion from the island of Blefuscu, which is the other great empire of the universe." Blefuscu has "equipped a numerous fleet, [who] are just preparing to make a descent upon us."

Read the excerpt from a recipe.
After the sauce comes to a boil, turn down the heat and allow it to simmer for ten minutes. The mixture should thicken. Test the sauce by dipping a spoon into it. If it coats the back of the spoon, it is done.
Which of the words from the excerpt is a domain word specific to the field of cooking?
a)sauce
b)heat
c)thicken
d)coats
Answer: a) Sauce
Explanation:
Sauce is the best word to show cooking. Sauce doesn’t have many meanings, and when thought of sauce, one thinks of dishes and cooking. Sauces are mentioned mainly as a flavoring to food, which related to cooking.
Heat isn’t related directly to cooking. It can mean a hot summer, which is definitely not related to cooking.
Thicken is not either, and can be used in a sentence that doesn’t mention cooking, like the polar bear will thicken it’s coat in the winter.
And lastly, coats is not. Coats can mean jackets, and is not pictured usually as a cooking subject/thing.

Which two details best show how Klaus Shubert’s experience in the historical setting develops the text’s theme.
from Inge’s Wall
The great war came to an end in 1945, and Germany was divided. People in the East, where life was restrictive, fled in great numbers to the freedom they found in the West. To stop this, the government of the East built a wall in 1961.
One morning, when Klaus Schubert was 11 years old, he passed cement trucks and workers unloading steel rods and barbed wire as he walked to school. He returned hours later to find his view of the buildings, greenery, and other things he had seen earlier swallowed up by the sour-smelling cement and the snarling barbed wire. And worse, the people he had known were gone—friends and family alike. The government had said the wall was for the protection of the people on Klaus's side. But what had there been to fear?
That unanswered question became both an oppressive shroud over Klaus's childhood and a sinister playmate, as he often let his mind wander, imagining horrors or enemies that must have been so great that only such a great, grey, stone wall could keep them out. Then, Klaus grew into manhood, and he began to view the wall through another lens. It became an oppressor that the people in the East dared not question or appear to challenge in any way.
As Klaus matured, he developed a new perspective on the wall. It became into an oppressor that the people in the East dared not oppose or even pretend to challenge.
What are the different perspective of the people?In the world where there are different people with different personality, they have different mindsets and perspectives. Every perspective is always different or same with each other, it shows the inner feeling of the person.
Thus, Klaus matured, he developed a new perspective on the wall.
