3 Colm, with dilated eyes, eagerly watched it making for the farther end of the lake. It meandered between tall bulrushes, its body black
and solid as stone against the graying water. Then as if it had sunk it was gone. The boy ran stealthily along the bank looking away from the
lake, pretending indifference. When he came opposite to where he had last seen the bird he stopped and peered through the sighing reeds
whose shadows streaked the water in a maze of black strokes. In front of him was a soddy islet guarded by the spears of sedge and
separated from the bank by a narrow channel of water. The water wasn't too deep-he could wade across with care.
How do the setting details in paragraph 3 help convey the theme of the story?
The spears of sedge around the islet imply that something must be protected.
The shadows of the reeds and the graying water make nature seem dark and dangerous.
The shallow water and isolation of the soddy islet implies that nature and animals should not be disturbed.
That a human could wade across the water shows the dominance of people over nature.

Answer 1

Answer:

The spears of sedge around the islet imply that something must be protected.

Explanation:

'The Wild Duck's Nest' is a short story written by Michael Mclaverty. The story is about a little boy, Colm, who ventures in a dense forest and finds a deserted nest of a duck, with an egg in it. The story exhibit the importance of nature and importance of preserving it.

The paragraph 3 of the story contrbutes to the theme of the story of preserving nature by enumerating how islet is protected by spears off sedge, so it is our responsibility to protect the nature.

Therefore, option  A is correct.

This question is missing the options. I've found them online; they are the following:

Which word best describes Annie in this excerpt?

A. intelligent

B. reckless

C. confident

D. polite

Answer:

The word that best describes Annie in this excerpt is:

C. confident

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the following line from the excerpt:

ANAGNOS: Annie, be- humble. It is not as if you have so many offers to pick and choose.

It is the line above that reveals what we need to know about Annie. Anagnos is telling her to be humble because, at this moment, she sounds overly confident. She even says she only has trouble when she is right, and that she is not the one to blame if she has trouble so often. Annie's confidence is actually quite close to becoming arrogance. She is willing to behave, but Anagnos still feels the need to tell her to be humble.

"pen robbery is worse than armed robbery "​

Answers

Answer:

criminal activity where the criminal/culprit makes a demand to the victim through a note.

Explanation:

Pen-robbery could be generally understood as a criminal activity where the criminal/culprit makes a demand to the victim through a note. Usually these demands are in terms of monetary transactions or sending certain valuables to the criminal. If we look into the severity of the crime between a pen-robbery and an armed robbery, without any doubt pen-robbery is much more worse than an armed robbery.

Armed robbery usually occurs when the criminal uses a lethal weapon to make certain demands to the victim. Armed robbery may take place anywhere. The fact that armed robbery demands are made physically, the chances of making demands hastily are much higher. Usually armed robbers only take what one person has with him/her at the time of the robbery. They can neither wait for long nor they can take everything because the chances of getting caught is very high.

On the other hand, pen-robbery demands are very high and lucrative. This is because criminals has to only provide bank details or transaction points where the demands could be made. They can demand for the whole assets as well as wealth of the victim with just a note.

Therefore, I believe that pen-robbery is much more worse than armed robbery because they demands are higher in a pen-robbery than an armed robbery.

An essay on the debate that pen robbery is worse than armed robbery is given below:

Pen robbery is an illegal way of embezzling and stealing money in society. It should be noted that pen robbery is one of the societal evils and this has eaten into every nation.

Pen robbery has spread across offices, institutions, politics, etc. Pen robbery depicts lawlessness in society. This is worse than armed robbery.

An instance is a government official that takes the money that is meant to construct roads for himself. The road which isn't done then leads to many deaths. This is bad and should be stopped.

Gravity and drag both reduce the maximum altitude that a rocket can reach, increasing the cost of rocket flights. This study hypothesizes that rockets with a smoother surface will experience less drag and reach higher altitudes, given the same thrust as rockets with rough surfaces. To test this hypothesis, three identical model rockets were constructed and given finishes with varying degrees of surface smoothness: roughed with 40-grit sandpaper, unfinished, and glossed. Each rocket was outfitted with B5-4 motors and flown ten times. Flight results support the initial hypothesis, with the roughened-surface rocket reaching the apogee point at the lowest altitude and the glossed-surface rocket reaching it at the highest. In conclusion, the findings suggest that smoother surface finishes can reduce the drag force enough to affect altitude, thereby potentially increasing rocket efficiency and reducing fuel costs. Who is the primary audience?

Answers

Answer:

The primary audience is scientists such as engineers, mathematicians, or physicists.

Explanation:

The primary audience is scientists, especially experts in rocket science. They are the primary audience because the explanation that the speaker is giving to the audience has specific information that only people with knowledge in this field will understand correctly. Besides, the expert is talking about how they prove the hypothesis to be true and the steps that they followed. Only scientists can verify that the performed tests can corroborate the theory. If the speech is for an ordinary audience, the language would not be technical. It would be simpler so that the audience can understand it.

Answer:

Explanation:

Literally, the reason that Lennie likes these kinds of small animals is that he likes to pet them.  In Chapter 1, that is what he talks about wanting to do.  We also see this because his Aunt Clara gave him a rubber mouse he did not like it because it was no good to pet.

I think that figuratively, this is meant to show how childish Lennie is and how much he depends on George.  He is so obsessed with little things that he can pet that he seems like a child.

Answers

Answer:

"Locating key details in the text" and "anticipating opposing viewpoints are two most necessary steps to make viewpoint."

Explanation:

"Locating key details in the text" and "anticipating opposing viewpoints are two most necessary steps to make viewpoint."

What is inference?

An inference is a method of deduction that entails using information that is already known to make educated assumptions about information that is still unknown. Inference is a tool that is frequently used in daily life to extrapolate facts.

For instance, if it is winter and there is snow on the ground, one may assume that it is necessary to put on a coat before going outside because it would probably be chilly.

People can draw logical conclusions from evidence by using inferences. A literary inference is something discovered by combining the reader's prior knowledge, the historical setting, and what is known about the author.

Therefore, "Locating key details in the text" and "anticipating opposing viewpoints are two most necessary steps to make viewpoint."
