Read the excerpt from "The Legacy of Billy Mason."

Outside, the windmill continued its eerie creaking and moaning, and the light of the moon scarcely penetrated the dirt on the glass in the only window in the bedroom. Lying there in the darkness, Billy looked at the door again and again. What was behind it? Did it hide some awful secret? Did something monstrous lurk there? Then suddenly, as he watched, the door slowly opened, and as it opened, he saw his own name glowing in the darkness: Billy Mason.

too:
Two goats - narrow bridge - come from two opposite directions - both want to pass at the
same time - both reach in the middle of the bridge and say 'let me go first' - both remain
standing for minutes - both get angry and fight - both fall into the river and die - moral
(Source: S.L.C Payers, SC Paard of None C Set​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There were once two goats, neither of which had much patience, or much willingness to compromise. This inherent stubborness would only lead to their ultimate downfall.

One day, the two passed each other on a very narrow bridge, while on an afternoon trek. Both demanded that they deserved to cross first, unable to compromise and only thinking of themselves.

After bickering for minutes on who deserved the first right of passage, the two began fighting. As one goat began to shove past the other, his hoof hit a unstable ledge on the bridge and he began to falter. The other, unwilling to let the other goat pass, confronted the goat, and then stepped on the same unstable ledge. The bridge then gave way, and the two goats  tumbled off the bridge, into the river, to their collective death.

The moral of this story are that patience, compromise, and teamwork are the keys to success.

Answer: for  #2 you should put: The difference between  food , bolus and chyme is Food is what you consume to go into the digestive system. Bolus is a small rounded mass of a substance of chewed food before you swallow the food.  Chyme is a semi-fluid pulp that is in the stomach  that is  mostly made of partly digested food and the liquids of the gastrointestinal tract. The similarities that they have are that they all help the process for when your body is breaking down the food you are consuming.

For  #3 you should put : The process of the digestive system is, When you first put the food into your mouth ,You obviously chew to break down the food but also your saliva helps you to break down the food before you swallow too. When the food is swallowed it goes through your throat and from there the food travels to the esophagus AKA the swallowing tube.  The esophagus is a muscular tube traveling from the pharynx to the stomach. With a series of contractions, called peristalsis, and then  the esophagus delivers food to the stomach. Just before the connection to the stomach is made, there is a "zone of high pressure," called the lower esophageal sphincter; this is  meant to keep food from passing backwards going into  the esophagus.  The stomach is a sac-like organ with strong muscular walls. In conclusion  to holding the food, it's also a mixer and grinder. The stomach produces  acid and powerful enzymes that continue the process of breaking down the food. The small intestine  is made up of three segments, the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the small intestine is a long tube very loosely coiled in the abdomen. The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food by using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver.

For #4 you should put: If the Salivary glands were to be damaged, it would  make chewing and swallowing very difficult for you cause your mouth would be dry  and you would also have an increase risk of tooth loss and and infections and decay in the mouth.

What is sentence?

A sentence is indeed a collection of words used to express a thought. A sentence always begins with such a capital letter then concludes with a period, punctuation mark, and exclamation point. Ideal sentence construction has a verb and a subject. Declarative sentences make a declaration, express an opinion, or make an emotion known.

Declarative sentences have a period at the end. Questions are asked in sentences known as interrogatives. These phrases are followed by a question mark. This kind of phrase is used to give instructions or make a request. There is typically a period at the end, but occasionally there is also an exclamation point. Univocal means having only one possible meaning.  The hull of the submarine groaned, yet the captain insisted that we keep descending. This provides the clearest sense of a story's setting.

Therefore, the correct option is option D.
