How does the scene between Whit and Slim, about Bill Tenner show the
ignorance and inexperience of these characters?
Answer:
The scene between Whit and Slim, about Bill Tenner shows that they are ignorant and inexperience characters as they get distracted from the work they were about to do.
Explanation:
'Of Mice and Men' is a novella written by John Steinbeck. The novella is about two ranch workers - George and Lennie, set during the time of the Great Depression.
In Chapter 3 of the novella, Whit and Slim share a conversation about Bill Tenner. The conversation begin when Whit show Slim a letter published in Pulp Magazine, by Bill Tenner. Bill Tenner used to co-work with Whit in a ranch and seeing his letter published in Pulp Magazine is seen as a great achievement of Bill Tenner by Whit.
Yet, this scene reveals ignorance and inexperience of these characters as they got distracted from Candy's problem. Candy is about to get separated from his dog, who is old and has to been shot so that he didn't get hurt while dying. Carlson, Candy, and Slim were talking about this issue when Whit brings his own conversation in between, which clearly shows that these characters are ignorant and inexperience.

Answer:
Common nouns: train, sun, superhero, planet, kitchen, animal, car, boy, pig, secretary, pen, airline
Proper nouns: California, Park Avenue, Sun, John, Jupiter, Toyota, Europe, Batman, Egypt, Disneyland, November, Atlantic Ocean, K-mart

Common nouns are used to name any person, place, thing, or idea. In this case, the named entity is generic. For example, the word planet is a common noun. These nouns are not capitalized unless they are the first word of the sentence.
Proper nouns name of specific people, places, things, or ideas. For example, Jupiter, which is a specific planet, is a proper noun. Unlike common nouns, proper nouns are always be capitalized.
However, some nouns can be both common and proper depending on the context. An example of such a noun is sun. Just like the words moon and earth, sun isn't capitalized unless it's used in the astronomical context.

How would the story be difference if The Crossover were written in prose?
-What is the power of the novel-in-verse as a form of storytelling?
-What is the relationship between form and content?
The 15th century to the 18th century was an age of exploration. Many people in Europe were searching for a better life with greater opportunities. The desire for a better life led many to journey across the ocean to find new land to settle. Many European explorers landed in what they called the New World, which would later be called North America. These explorations were filled with challenges.
The first challenge faced by many explorers was money. They needed financial backing to fund the ships, cargo, and crew required to make such a long journey. The solution was royalty, and explorers would approach kings and queens to convince them to invest in their voyages. If the king and queen agreed, then the explorer would have the money needed to fund an expedition. In return, any lands discovered during the voyage were claimed by that country.
The next step was to obtain a seaworthy ship. Many ships were built during the age of exploration, but not all could handle a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. New ships designs were created to suit long voyages. One such type was called a caravel, which was a small ship created for exploration in the 1400s. This type of ship was equipped with cargo space for voyages up to a year long. Caravels were also considered seaworthy because they could travel about 90–100 miles in a day.
Once aboard, the explorers set sail and used maps to navigate through known territory. The maps were not useful once sailors were out of sight of land or in unknown territory. How would they navigate over the vast Atlantic Ocean without any land markers to guide them? This problem led to the invention of navigation equipment. Compasses have a magnetized metal needle that always points north. Sailors use them as a point of reference to tell if their ship is in the right position to move forward. In order to find their location, sailors used astrolabes, sextants, cross staffs, or quadrants to find latitude. With these tools, explorers were able to sail on to discover new lands.
The final–and perhaps most difficult–challenge for many explorers was survival, as voyages could be long and tense. Maintaining supplies and finding land were important to prevent mutinies from occurring. Unfortunately, bringing supplies that would last the entire voyage led to another problem: scurvy. Many sailors died from the disease, as they ate preserved food at sea. To survive, sailors needed to obtain and eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
When sailors and explorers arrived on land, they had already overcome many obstacles. While more challenges awaited them, explorers were able to disembark and realize that had reached the New World.
Which sentence from the text helps the reader identify its structure?
a. In return, any lands discovered during the voyage were claimed by that country.
Selected:b. The 15th century to the 18th century was an age of exploration.This answer is incorrect.
c. This problem led to the invention of navigation equipment.
d. This type of ship was equipped with cargo space for voyages up to a year long.

Answer and Explanation:
One morning Peter and Tony got up early to go on an adventure. They cycled to a small beach where they left their bicycles. "We want to go fishing," they told an old fisherman. "Will you lend us your rowing-boat so that we can try it?" "Yes, but you must not row to the east," the fisherman said. "The sea is very rough over there." The two boys climbed into the boat and set off. They rowed quickly towards the small island which, it just so happens, was located in the east.
With some difficulty, they landed and secured the boat. They had decided to spend a day as castaways to see if they would be able to survive like they saw people doing on TV. What the boys did not notice was that a raging storm had been getting closer and closer. All of a sudden, heavy rain and lightnings began to fall from the sky. Peter and Tony couldn’t even try to get back home, for now the sea was rougher than ever. After a few minutes, to make matters worse, their boat was dragged by the strong winds and the current. Scared to their bones, the boys could do nothing but wait to be rescued. Once the storm was gone, the same fisherman that had warned them earlier showed up in boat and took the boys back to the beach. Peter and Tony went back home humbled by the experience.

Which sentence varies the sentence pattern?
sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4
Answer:
sentence 4
Explanation:
Sentence number four presents a variation of pattern, in relation to the sentences shown previously. This is because all the previous sentences express a conclusion of thought without the concealment of actions, that is, without the strategic shortening of the sentence. This does not happen in sentence number 4 that shows the concealment of the action that your announcer will do, because this action has already been said before.

. . . Budget cuts always eliminate the least necessary. We drop premium cable before heat or electricity. Harvard’s decision [to close the primate research center] suggests that it, too, knows that primate research isn’t a necessary expense or a justifiable cruelty. But the monkeys will not celebrate if sent to another lab, as planned. They deserve protection from further harmful research. Sanctuaries, with financing, would be able to take them. I hope that Harvard, which has profited plenty, will do the right thing: Retire the monkeys with the support necessary to live the rest of their lives in safety and comfort [in a primate nature preserve].
What is the claim of this article?
a The main claim is “We drop premium cable before heat or electricity.”
b The main claim is “Harvard should retire the monkeys to a nature preserve.
c There is no claim in this letter.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Read the following paragraph, and answer the question.
Of all the attributes essential to a respected man or woman or to a respected nation, the predominant characteristic is self-discipline. Laws cannot be made compelling people to suppress thelr desire for power or position. No method of legislating such wisdom exists. As free people, we must face a choice between two types of discipline. One is the self-discipline that is still open to us-the kind which free people and free nations exercise when they select the executives, lawmakers, and Judges who will govern them and assure their protection and well-being. The second is a cold blooded, ill-Intentioned, godless form of discipline that may be thrust upon us by strangers-the discipline of force, terrorism, suspicion, and intimidation-the discipline used in China and the former Soviet Republic.
Does every sentence in some way support the thesis?
a. yes
b. no

yes
