Read the passage.

Bike lanes are meant to protect cyclists, not to provoke them. Adding bike lanes to South Drive was a way to separate cars and bikes to keep cyclists safe. The two-lane road was dangerous. But the bike lane has made things worse. Now cars are stuck in a single lane. Traffic is a mess, and cars are veering into bike lanes. Bikes are jumping curbs to avoid getting hit by turning cars. Did the city planners lose their tape measures?

Which statement best summarizes a reason in support of the claim that adding a bicycle lane to the two-lane road was poorly planned?

A. Bike lanes are separate from car lanes.
B. The city planners created a two-lane road.
C. Bike lanes have made traffic problems worse.

Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim? "A plantation was not a new technology but, rather, a new way of organizing planting, growing, cutting, and refining a crop." "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets." "Since one cannot live on sugar, the crop grown on plantations could not even feed the people who harvested it." "The mill was right next to the crop, so that growing and grinding took place in the same spot."

As the scudding day passed overhead the dingy windows glowed and faded in ghostly retrograde. A car passed along the road outside, laboring in the sand, died away.

The author uses the word laboring to emphasize which idea?

A.
the work that the driver had completed that day
B.
the difficulty the car had in moving
C.
the dedication of the driver to the task at hand
D.
the amount of time the car had been in the shop

Answers

Answer: I think the answer for this is B

Explanation: I think the answer is B because most times when someone uses the word 'laboring' in a story it has to do with exhaustion, or how hard something is, and the answer is B because the story mentions a car, then sand, and the story doesn't talk about the driver's life or hard work, it talks about the car moving, so because the story is talking about the car and how it moves, it's saying that the car is having a hard time moving. Along with that, the story didn't mention the car in a shop, so the answer is B.

The middle hieroglyph was unknown to him, but he guessed that the two at the left symbolized the sun.

From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.

He studied the combination: RA ? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of Ramesses' name?

The details in the excerpt point to which big-picture idea?

Hieroglyphs are both a representation of sounds and symbols.
Several famous names can be found in the Biblical Book of Exodus.
The sun has symbolic meaning in many different cultures.
Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for “sun” was pronounced rah.

Answers

Definitely A. Hieroglyphs are both a representation of sounds and symbols.

Answer:

The answer is A. Hieroglyphs are both a representation of sounds and symbols.

Explanation:

Although many people think of Egyptian hieroglyphs as logographic or pictographic, it actually combines symbols for entire words with symbols for individual sounds. That is, it is a system that is partly logographic and partly alphabetic. It can be called logophonetic. Egyptian symbols can represent individual sounds.

To what extent is Lin Manuel Miranda’s portrayal of the relationship between Alexander Hamilton and Angelica schuyler accurate?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Part of what Lin Manuel Miranda wrote in the musical Hamilton is imagined and part is true.

The parts he exaggerated are:

In a part of the song Satisfied where Angelica tells how she wants Hamilton despite him not being rich ("And Alexander is penniless / Ha! That doesn’t mean I want him any less"), she sings “I’m a girl in a world in which / My only job is to marry rich / My father has no sons so I’m the one / Who has to social climb for one)”. This part is not true, as her father had two sons. Angelica was already married and had children at the time of the initial meeting with Alexandar. These are not circumstances in the musical shows. Angelica didn’t probably introduce her sister Eliza to Hamilton. The historical evidence said that the pair likely knew each other from before.

However, the true parts are:

Angelica likely had a small crush on her brother in law. In one of the letters, she wrote to Eliza: “If you were as generous as the old Romans, you would lend him to me for a little while,” a line that was partly used in the musical. Angelica wrote to Hamilton as to her “dear and naughty Brother” in one of the letters. Hamilton probably returned these affections. In one of the letters, he wrote to Angelica “I seldom write to a lady without fancying the relation of lover and mistress.” He also frequently returned her compliments.Hamilton and Angelica had a close and affectionate relationship, even flirting a bit. This is also seen through their letters in which they describe their affection, missing each other. Their conversations are witty and flirtatious. Historians explain this kind of communication was possible exactly because they were both married. They were likely friends joking with each other, but it would be scandalous if the public saw this type of relationship between man and woman if they were single and not in their separate relationships.

Therefore, we can conclude that Miranda did exaggerate the circumstances of Angelica’s and Hamilton’s relationship, but he did not invent the attraction and affection between them.

In Selection 1, the author includes a claim that the wild horses have Spanish origins. Which statement best delineates the claim? Most evidence suggests that the horses are in fact a native species, supporting the argument that the horses must have actually been in North America for more than 11,000 years. The horses' Spanish orgins have been verified by DNA analysis, and this common ancestry helps support the argument that there is now a serious problem of inbreeding in the horse population. Although the horses' orgins are not actually certain, the claim supports the argument that the horses have been wild on the barrier island for a very long time and should be treated as a native species. There is no evidence to suggest that the horses are actually from Spain, which supports the argument that the horses are recent additions to the island and their range should be limited to protect endangered species.

Answers

This question is about the article "Wild Horses as Native North American Wildlife"

Answer:

Most evidence suggests that the horses are in fact a native species, supporting the argument that the horses must have actually been in North America for more than 11,000 years.

Explanation:

According to the article, wild horses of Spanish origin were taken to North America with Columbus and his entourage. They deposited these horses in Mexico, on Colombus' second voyage to the continent in 1493. The horses that were brought in at that time were E. caballus, which from where Mexico is today, began to spread across the Great Planices, intermingling in territory of the USA and giving rise to the native species we know today.

He assisted the farmers occasionally in the lighter labors of their farms, helped to make hay, mended the fences, took the horses to water, drove the cows from pasture, and cut wood for the winter fire. He laid aside, too, all the dominant dignity and absolute sway with which he lorded it in his little empire, the school, and became wonderfully gentle and ingratiating. He found favor in the eyes of the mothers by petting the children, particularly the youngest; and like the lion bold, which whilom so magnanimously the lamb did hold, he would sit with a child on one knee, and rock a cradle with his foot for whole hours together.

Read the negative position from "Animal Rights Debate."


It is clear that humans are superior to animals, and therefore animals should not have the same rights as human beings. The Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that only humans have the ability to reason. Animals only have instincts to guide them. Therefore, they are not sentient, or thinking, beings like humans are. In addition, humans show their superiority to animals through control. Humans have superior abilities that allow them to raise animals for a variety of uses. Human beings are in control of animal life, making animal rights unnecessary.


Which statement best uses the ideas of the negative position to provide an affirmative rebuttal?


Animals can show humanlike traits, such as cooperation and the use of tools.

The purpose of animals is to be either consumed or used, regardless of whether they can reason with others.

Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better

Answers

Answer:

Even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.

Explanation:

A rebuttal is a way of contesting an earlier statement, showing facts that prove that the previous statement is not correct, but has inconsistencies and therefore cannot be considered.

An example of this can be seen in the question that presents a text that states that animals do not need rights, since they are not able to reason and reflect. In this case, it is possible to refute this claim by claiming that even though humans can communicate their reasoning better than animals, animals like chimpanzees have shown that they reflect on their own thoughts.

Answers

Answer:

The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]

Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]

The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]

The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]

In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]

At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]

On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]

For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

The Bone Wars is an episode in the history of paleontology that led to the discovery of some of the most famous dinosaurs.

Explanation:

 The rivalry between Cope and Marsh was what led them to commit illicit acts and even destroy several dinosaur bones in order to "destroy" each other.

They began to collect fossil bones, and hidden from Cope, Marsh had paid for the bones to easily reach him.

Although both were great scientists, instead of working together they attacked each other in a public way.

However, this enmity helped to discover large species such as Diplodocus or Anisonchus Copehater.

Finally, the one who "won the war" was Marsh, who found 80 new species of dinosaur, while Cope found 56.
