Answer:
Private homes and warehouses on the canalAround the small town centre, a ring of canals was created, which were used for freight transport. Merchants stored their stock in the waterfront warehouses. At the same time, the need for living space increased. And so, in 1635, Prinsengracht 263 was built: a private home adjacent to two warehouses. The land along the Amsterdam canals was in high demand, which is why many of the properties are narrow and long. In order to create more living, working and storage space, so-called ‘annexes’ were built in the backyards of existing houses. To allow daylight into both houses, the main houses and the annexes were often connected by a corridor and separated by a courtyard.

The Secret Annex of Anne FrankThe annex where Anne and her family went into hiding dates from 1739. In that year, more than a hundred years after the construction of Prinsengracht 263, the previous annex had been demolished to be replaced by a new, larger annex.Later on, another renovation took place. The basement was replaced by a room at street level. This intervention made the house suitable for companies that required office space as well as a warehouse or large workspace. Almost 200 years later, that was exactly what Otto Frank wanted for his company Pectacon.

The stairs to the hidden entrance to the Secret AnnexIn 1940, Otto Frank rented the entire building, main house and annex, from the Pieron family, who had been the owner since 1901. From that moment on, the floors of the main house and annex were no longer used separately but as a whole. The ground floor housed the workshop of the company, the first and second floors were turned into storage and office space, respectively.This required a new connection between the first and second floors. To go from the first floor to the second floor, you first had to go all the way back to the front door and step outside. There, you went through another entrance door and climbed up a second, steep staircase to the annex. To solve this problem, another staircase was constructed between the main house’s first and the second floors. This is the staircase that leads to the landing where later, a bookcase was placed in front of the entrance to the Secret Annex.

Living in hiding in the Secret AnnexWhen Anne’s sister Margot received a call-up for a labour camp in Germany, the Frank family, who lived elsewhere in Amsterdam, decided to go into hiding in the annex of the business premises immediately. They would live there mainly on the second and third floor. The only way to enter the hiding place was through the secret entrance, hidden behind the revolving bookcase.The business premises in the main house continued into the ground floor and the first floor of the annex. However, these rooms were not directly connected with the hiding place, which was located on the upper floors of the annex. And so, a casual visitor of Prinsengracht 263 would never notice what went on behind the bookcase.
Dangerous times: the annex is soldThe Pieron family, still the official owners of the building, did not know that there were people in hiding in the Secret Annex either. Just as well, because the fewer people knew about it, the better. But then, in 1943, the family sold the property to a new owner for 14,000 guilders.Anne was afraid that the takeover would lead to the discovery of the people in hiding. She wrote: 'One morning the new owner arrived with an architect to have a look at the house; luckily, Mr. Kleiman was present and showed the gentlemen everything except our little "Secret Annex," he professed to have forgotten the key of the communicating door. The new owner didn't question any further. It will be all right as long as he doesn’t come back and want to see the "Secret Annex," since then it won't look to good for us.’ (Anne Frank, B-version, 27 February 1943.) Fortunately, the owner never came back.
The demolition of the Secret Annex is preventedIt was little over a year later when things went wrong after all: the Secret Annex and the people in hiding were discovered. Of the eight people in hiding, Otto was the only one to survive the war.After the liberation, the building at Prinsengracht 263 was in
Explanation:
Why aren't authors always as explicit as possible in stating their meaning or purpose? Why do you think they often leave evidence to be inferred?
Answer:
Explanation:
Understanding the author's purpose helps readers understand what a text is about. It guides us in taking a stance as readers.
An author's purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author's purpose may be to amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.
Answer: Authors often leave interpretations to the readers. They don't directly mention or state the themes or purposes in their stories so that their audience can interpret the story to how they perceive it. While it isn't stated, they embed the meaning through their storyline and through the characters they create.

Hi so im writing a argumentative essay on why zoos are bad and I really need help with a few closing statements.
This is my conclusion "In conclusion, zoos are dangerous because they exploit animals for their own gain, keep them captive in unnatural environments, and sometimes sell them to places were they are physically abused."

Answer: you could add: While some may say that zoos could often be considered safe spaces for animals, they are still being held in captivity, and aren't able to thrive in their natural habitats instead of behind a glass
Read the excerpt from "Isaac and Casey."
"Higher!” said Isaac. Casey jumped higher still. His back feet were at least four feet off the ground. It was miraculous!
Suddenly, a thought struck Isaac like lightning. He said the command one more time. "Higher!”

Just as Casey began to jump off the ground, lightning began to strike.
Just as Isaac began to realize something, lightning began to strike.
Much like lightning strikes, the idea struck Isaac suddenly and abruptly.
Much like lightning hurts when it strikes, Isaac’s realization hurt him.

Study the chart describing a story’s plot.
Answer:
Option 2- Jayden plays well during tryouts, but a few rough serves make it past her.
Explanation:
First, let's look at what each of the plot elements mean (in order from first to last):
Exposition: In the beginning of the story, exposition introduces the main character, setting, conflict, and themes.
Rising action: The rising action starts right after the period of exposition and ends at the climax.
Climax: Climax is the highest point of tension in a storyline, often depicted by a confrontation between the protagonist and antagonist. (or the main character and the problem/what the main character is stressed about which in our story is the tryouts) A climax resolves the main conflict of the story and is the moment the main character reaches-or fails to reach-their goal.
_____________________________
The first option is saying that Jayden took tennis lessons for three summers before starting high school. That information is actually irrelevent to us because that happens before the exposition.
The second option is saying that Jayden played well in the tryouts but she did miss a few serves. This is relevent to us because this happens after the exposition and before the climax. (This is also our answer.)
The third option states the Jayden begins to smile as she finds her name on the list. This is impossible because this happens after the climax and we do not know if she made the team or not.
The last option states that she texted her mother to let her know that she made the team. This is also impossible like the third option because it occurs after the climax and still don't know if she made the team or not!
This leaves us with option two as our only applicable option!
