Answer:
Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me has not been smooth. It has been filled with hurdles and challenges and times when there was nothing to soothe the pains.
Explanation:
The mother in the poem tells her son that life has been really challenging for her. A crystal stair represents a smooth walk through life. She did not have it that way, but rather, life was filled with tacks, and splinters, and boards torn up. These serve to symbolize the challenges and hurdles that life posed to her.
A carpet serves to cushion the effects of pain, but she has had to go without that sometimes.
Read the excerpt from Last Lecture.
There are 50 students drawn from all the different departments of the university. There are randomly chosen teams, four people per team, and they change every project. A project only lasts two weeks, so you do something, you make something, you show something, then I shuffle the teams, you get three new playmates and you do it again. . . .
The first assignment, I gave it to them, they came back in two weeks and they just blew me away. I mean the work was so beyond, literally, my imagination, because I had copied the process from Imagineering’s VR lab, but I had no idea what they could or couldn’t do with it as undergraduates, and their tools were weaker, and they came back on the first assignment, and they did something that was so spectacular that I literally didn’t, ten years as a professor and I had no idea what to do next. So I called up my mentor, and I called up Andy Van Dam.
What is the organizational structure of this section of the speech?
A. chronological ordering
B. compare and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. problem and resolution
Answer:
I think it’s A. chronological ordering
but it can probably be B. Cause and Effect
Explanation:
1. Because it’s in order of the time they turned the assignment. The keyword is two weeks.
2. Because of the the weaker tools they had.

Answer:
The author believes that games and technology stimulate the brain and this trains people to reason and solve complex problems, such as problems that generate chaos.
Explanation:
The author claims that a person with smart intelligence has a well-trained brain. This allows these people to be able to develop strategies and quick solutions to serious and complex problems. One way to train the brain is through the execution of games that pose challenges of different difficulties, through technology.
Thus, the author shows that technology and games can promote people capable of solving serious problems that could cause chaos in society.

Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family's detention at Ellis Island: My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, "Well, we can't let her in." This quotation adds credibility to the text because
Answer:
This quote adds credibility to the text because it is a personal account of a person who witnessed that moment.

Answer:
Spanish is in my flesh, ripples from my tongue, lodges in my hips:
Explanation:
Imagery is the figure of speech that promotes an increase in the physical perception of the reader, in relation to the text. This perception is related to the activation of the five sensory senses, which the imagery wishes to itemize, making the reader have a real feeling about something.
An example of this can be seen in the question above, where the phrase "Spanish is in my flesh, ripples from my tongue, lodges in my hips" stimulates the reader's ability to "feel" and shows that language becomes part of identity speaker's physics.

B. She teaches other students to reply to teachers inappropriately.
C. She sends complaint letters to the school board.
D. She refuses to do her homework.
Answer: A. She breaks the jar of mashed turnips and the cannot be served
Explanation:
She breaks the jar of mashed turnips, and they cannot be served is the actions does Zitkala-Sa take to assert herself and fight back against the actions of the teachers at her school. Hence, option A is correct.
What are turnips used for?Use turnips in addition to all the ways you would use potatoes. By baking, boiling, or lightly steaming them with butter, salt, or lemon juice, you can prepare them in stews, soups, and stir-fries.
Like turnips, collard greens include dietary nitrates that are beneficial for your health. One of the many important health benefits of dietary nitrates is a decrease in blood pressure. Furthermore, turnips' potassium content lowers blood pressure.
Where the taproot has been exposed to sunlight, turnips have a stunning purple, crimson, or greenish upper part. Overall, they are a creamy white tone. Like swedes, turnips are a type of root vegetable that belongs to the cabbage family.
Thus, option A is correct.

Which sentence or group of sentences in this excerpt from "The Water of Life" by the Brothers Grimm indicates that the king's eldest son is
greedy?
Long before you or i were born there reigned, in a country a great way off, a king who had three sons. This king once fell very ill-so ill that
nobody thought he could live. His sons were very much grieved at their father's sickness, and as they were walking together very mournfully in
the garden of the palace, a little old man met them and asked what was the matter. They told him that their father was very ill, and that they
were afraid nothing could save him. "I know what would," said the little old man; "it is the water of Life. If he could have a draught of it he would
be well again; but it is very hard to get." Then the eldest son said, "I will soon find it and he went to the sick king, and begged that he might go in
search of the water of Life, as it was the only thing that could save him. "No," said the king. " had rather die than place you in such great danger
as you must meet with in your journey." But he begged so hard that the king let him go; and the prince thought to himself, "If I bring my father
this water, he will make me sole heir to his kingdom."
