Answer: C) “I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.”
Explanation:
When using satire for humour, one uses ironies, reversals, exaggeration and ridicule in such a way that the situation is funny in its unexpectedness.
In this excerpt, the woman could not do such a simple American thing as riding a public bus but she is now so in tune with American culture that she watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.
This reversal in situation shows satire as when she first came to the US, she would not have expected to be doing such things as watching tractor pulls in the future.

Oliver Twist is born a sickly infant in a workhouse. The parish surgeon and a drunken nurse attend his birth. His mother kisses his forehead and dies, and the nurse announces that Oliver’s mother was found lying in the streets the night before. The surgeon notices that she is not wearing a wedding ring.
Chapter 2:Authorities at the workhouse send Oliver to a branch-workhouse for “juvenile offenders against the poor-laws.” The overseer, Mrs. Mann, receives an adequate sum for each child’s upkeep, but she keeps most of the money and lets the children go hungry, sometimes even letting them die.
On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble, a minor church official known as the parish beadle, informs Mrs. Mann that Oliver is too old to stay at her establishment. Since no one has been able to discover his mother’s or father’s identity, he must return to the workhouse. Mrs. Mann asks how the boy came to have any name at all. Mr. Bumble tells her that he keeps a list of names in alphabetical order, naming the orphans from the list as they are born.
Mrs. Mann fetches Oliver. When Mr. Bumble is not looking, she glowers and shakes her fist at the boy, so he stays silent about the miserable conditions at her establishment. Before Oliver departs, Mrs. Mann gives him some bread and butter so that he will not seem too hungry at the workhouse.
The workhouse offers the poor the opportunity to starve slowly as opposed to quick starvation on the streets. For the workhouse, the undertaker’s bill is a major budget item due to a large number of deaths. Oliver and his young companions suffer the “tortures of slow starvation.” One night at dinner, one child tells the others that if he does not have another bowl of gruel he might eat one of them. Terrified, the children at the workhouse cast lots, determining that whoever loses shall be required to ask for more food for the boy. Oliver loses, and after dinner, the other children insist that Oliver ask for more food at supper. His request so shocks the authorities that they offer five pounds as a reward to anyone who will take Oliver off of their hands.
Chapter 3:In the parish, Oliver has been flogged and then locked in a dark room as a public example. Mr. Gamfield, a brutish chimney sweep, offers to take Oliver on as an apprentice. Because several boys have died under his supervision, the board considers five pounds too large a reward, and they settle on just over three pounds. Mr. Bumble, Mr. Gamfield, and Oliver appear before a magistrate to seal the bargain. At the last minute, the magistrate notices Oliver’s pale, alarmed face. He asks the boy why he looks so terrified. Oliver falls on his knees and begs that he be locked in a room, beaten, killed, or any other punishment besides being apprenticed to Mr. Gamfield. The magistrate refuses to approve the apprenticeship, and the workhouse authorities again advertise Oliver’s availability.
Chapter 4:The workhouse board considers sending Oliver out to sea as a cabin boy, expecting that he would die quickly in such miserable conditions. However, Mr. Sowerberry, the parish undertaker, takes Oliver on as his apprentice. Mr. Bumble informs Oliver that he will suffer dire consequences if he ever complains about his situation. Mrs. Sowerberry remarks that Oliver is rather small. Mr. Bumble assures her that he will grow, but she grumbles that he will only grow by eating their food. Mrs. Sowerberry serves Oliver the leftovers that the dog has declined to eat. Oliver devours the food as though it were a great feast. After he finishes, Mrs. Sowerberry leads him to his bed, worrying that his appetite seems so large.
Chapter 5:In the morning, Noah Claypole, Mr. Sowerberry’s apprentice, wakes Oliver. Noah and Charlotte, the maid, taunt Oliver during breakfast. Oliver accompanies Sowerberry to prepare for a pauper’s burial. The husband of the deceased delivers a tearful tirade against his wife’s death. She has starved to death, and although he once tried to beg for her, the authorities sent him to prison for the offense. The dead woman’s mother begs for some bread and a cloak to wear for the funeral.
At the graveyard before the funeral, some ragged boys jump back and forth over the coffin to amuse themselves. Mr. Bumble beats a few of the boys. The clergyman performs the service in four minutes. Mr. Bumble quickly ushers the grieving family out of the cemetery, and Mr. Sowerberry takes the cloak away from the dead woman’s mother. Oliver decides that he is not at all fond of the undertaking business.

Hope is the thing with feathers

And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

In two or three sentences, explain the author's purpose for stating, "It took Timothy McVeigh to teach America that fanaticism and righteous martyrdom are not the monopoly of one religion or, indeed, any religion at all." Background information: Timothy McVeigh was an American domestic terrorist responsible for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing killing 168 people
Answer:
Explanation of the sentence: Timothy McVeigh was neither Arab nor Muslim and provoked a terrorist attack by being an American boy, respectable and admired.
Explanation:
Timothy McVeigh was a New Yorker, white, straight, and a boy decorated for his actions in the Gulf War. In other words, he was the American standard, an admirable person and one that made the country proud, but this proved to be a big lie. That's because Timothy was responsible for a terrorist attack on the bomb that killed around 168 dead and left 850 injured in Oklahoma.
The attack was linked to some radical Islamist group, nobody imagined that an American would do that to his own people. However, by discovering that Timothy was the culprit and who had no connection with Islam, the population could rethink their concepts in relation to religions and patriotism.

Explanation:

Dear name,
I hope this letter finds you safe and well. Just a few days ago, I had both a thrilling yet tiring vacation. I spent my vacation on a school trip. They sent us out to the desert, and we had to find our way to different camps. There were other groups that tried to follow ours and the funniest times were when we tried to fool them and they didn't even realize. But the most unfulfilling times were when the wind blew up and sand flew into our faces. Every time that happened, we spent a traumatic 15 minutes blinking every second trying to get it out.
Every time we came back to camp it was almost 10 ocklock in the night and we had to set up our tents in the cold night. The wind blew fercely and the tents would not settle down. I thought I would need octopus hands to make the tent stand just right. I also had to hold my flashlight in my mouth and it was not such a nice taste.
I know we haven't talked in some time so this letter is mainly just a heads up on how my life has been, and that I would be thrilled to hear back fom you about yours. I hope you have a nice day.

many families give teens a weekly allowance some require that the teen preform household chores or maintain good grades in school others simply give allowances to teach there child to be financially responsible. do you believe teens should receive allowances write a letter to your local parents accosiation discussing your position and backing it up with details Marlena wrote this claim in response to the prompt
Answer
yes
Explanation:
dear "mom/dad/parent/ect"
I believe that teens should receive allowance because giving teens an allowance can help instill positive money habits, financial experts say. ... One of the biggest debates for parents around allowances is whether to tie them to chores. Taub believes chores should be done because kids are contributing household members, not because of financial incentive.
Giving your teen an allowance will help them learn to make those same budgeting decisions. If they overspend one week, they'll have to budget better the next week. These little lessons can be helpful in teaching about the balancing act that budgeting requires.

A. The main reason schools should adjust start times is to save money on transportation.
B. Students in elementary school also benefit from changing school start times because they have more
energy in the morning.
C. An increasing body of research supports the idea that starting school later in the day has significant
benefits for teenagers.
D. Teenagers miss fewer classes when they begin school later in the day.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
According to the question, the author's primary claim is the teenagers miss fewer classes when they begin school later in the day. The correct option is (D).
What do you mean by primary claim?The term "primary claim" refers to an Allowed General Unsecured Claim that is not a joint and several liability claim, guaranty claim, or any other claim that is similar to it and that arises from or relates to the same obligations or liabilities as the Allowed General Unsecured Claim.
In academic writing, the primary claim should ideally only be made after the student has conducted the necessary research and is aware of the relevant evidence. This is due to the fact that the argument should represent the culmination of the critical thinking process.
The core claim of an argument is its objective, or the fundamental proposition on which the rhetor is trying to persuade the audience to alter their minds. A thesis statement is frequently referred to as a main claim, however not all thesis-based approaches are the same.
Hence, the author's primary claim is the teenagers miss fewer classes when they begin school later in the day.
