You've probably seen it before. Someone is giving a speech, and another person stands near the speaker, mouthing the speaker's words for people who can read lips. In a graceful dance, his or her arms and hands visually repeat the speaker's words in signs. If the speech is broadcast on television, the signer is sometimes shown in a window at the corner of the screen. Audience members who are hard of hearing or deaf can understand the speech through the signs.
2
Deaf or hard-of-hearing people could also read the text of the speech, but it might not be available in writing. Besides, signing offers many advantages that reading cannot. Seeing the speaker, even if his or her words cannot be heard, can be important. The audience can observe the speaker's facial expressions and body language, which can change the meaning of the spoken words. The signer will often attempt to convey the speaker's tone or precise meaning with facial expressions that accompany the signs. For instance, when the speaker asks a question instead of making a statement, signers will raise their eyebrows, widen their eyes, and tilt their bodies forward to convey that what they are signing is a question.

Many different sign languages are used around the world. In the United States, most people use a system called American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is a complex, complete language, just like spoken English. ASL even has different "pronunciations" for certain words in different regions of the country. In ASL, some signs represent specific words. Touching one's fingers to the brim of an imaginary cap means "man." The sign was created when most men wore hats and would tip their hats when greeting someone.

4
However, most of ASL is based more on ideas than on words. For example, a person might hold both thumbs and index fingers at right angles and move both hands and arms apart. The person is indicating "big" or "large." The same sign would be used for a big man, a large amount of money, or a serious problem. When a person strokes an imaginary beard by moving a loose fist down from the chin, he or she is indicating "old." That same sign could describe an elderly person, an old car, or a story from long ago.
image
5
Many people believe in "total communication," which means saying words and signing them at the same time. A person might have only partial hearing loss, so he or she could hear some of the sounds the speaker makes. The speaker's lip movements, voice, signs, and facial expressions are like pieces of a puzzle. The theory is that total communication provides every possible means to get an idea across.
6
Not every word or idea in English has a sign. Proper names and other words that have no signs are often spelled out with the sign alphabet. Sometimes the letters of the sign alphabet are used as words. For example, the sign for T and the sign for V together mean "television." Just like "TV" spoken aloud, the two sign letters indicate the word. In other cases, the full name of a person or thing is spelled out because there is no simple way to communicate it. If a person's name is Tina, she could use the signs for T-I-N-A.
7
If you are not hard of hearing, why would you bother to learn sign language? For one thing, it will allow you to communicate with people who are hard of hearing or deaf. You can translate for them, helping them to understand others and be understood. Many people choose to make ASL translation their career. On an individual level, learning ASL will also help in forming friendships with deaf or hard-of-hearing people.
8
Sign language can be useful for other reasons, even among hearing people. You might be too far away to hear someone, but not too far away to see the person. A couple of gestures can send an important message. Suppose you are in a situation in which you couldn't speak out loud, like in a theater. You might want to send a message to a friend who is not right next to you. It would be rude to shout while the performance is going on, but you could always send a sign message. Sign language can benefit people who are deaf, partially deaf, or hearing.
Which is the central idea of the passage?
A.
Hearing people should learn ASL to assist hard-of-hearing or deaf people.
B.
It is easier for hard-of-hearing or deaf people to watch ASL than read a transcript.
C.
ASL is a language that hard-of-hearing or deaf people in America use to communicate.
D.
Hard-of-hearing or deaf people face many problems that ASL can help solve.

What point of view does Lincoln express in this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address?
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these
honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.

At one point in history, no building could be taller than the state capitol. After revisions to the building codes, leviathan structures have been erected all over downtown. We can no longer see the capitol's beautiful dome.
Based on the context clues, what does leviathan mean?
stable

giant
unimpressive
Based on the context clues, the word does leviathan mean is stable. Thus, option A is correct.
Hobbes' Leviathan posits that the way to get human beings out of a state of violent chaos in nature is through a social contract wherein people give up some of their natural rights and freedoms in return for government protection which is stable.
The "natural state of mankind" is what would exist if there was no government, civilization, laws, or common authority to constrain human nature. The state of nature is a "war of all against all," in which humans are always attempting to destroy each other in a never-ending quest for power.

Answer:
I’m going to be talking about bullying. Bullying can make someone feel sad, emotional, can have suic*dal thoughts, cutting, and su*cide, and many more feelings that are almost impossible to describe. I’m going to talk about how different bullying can make a person feel. Bullying is a threat to some people; it can also be abuse. Depends on what kind of bullying it is. For example, there are 3 different types of bullying like Physical Bullying, Emotional Bullying, and Cyberbullying. All those types of bullying can change someone’s life easily. I mean it’s bullying, the words people say to a male or female can cause them suic*dal thoughts. People these days have to think about what they are going to say before they say it. Bullying is when someone causes a threat to others. Sometimes there is abuse bullying where someone can touch a person or hit them for the fun. There is also internet bullying where they could call you someone else names on the internet, which is not right at all. And finally, there is emotional bullying where they tell or call you something that can get to your mind and suddenly break down. All these types of bullying have to stop now!

BRUTUS. Cassius,
Be not deceived. If I have veiled my look,
I turn the trouble of my countenance
Merely upon myself. Vexèd I am
Of late with passions of some difference,
Conceptions only proper to myself,
Which give some soil, perhaps, to my behaviours.
But let not therefore my good friends be grieved
Among which number, Cassius, be you one
Nor construe any further my neglect
Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war,
Forgets the shows of love to other men.
O Brutus betrayed Cassius, and now Cassius is angry
with him.
O Cassius offends Brutus by saying that he does not
like the way Brutus looks.
O While Cassius and others have noticed a difference in
Brutus, Brutus explains that his actions are not
because of anything they have done. It is only
because Brutus is struggling within himself and has let
it unfairly impact how he treats others.

The third-person point of view or narration is when the narrator uses the third-person pronouns to talk or refer to the characters. He may or may not be a part of the story and would use names as well as "he, she, his, hers, they" etc. in the narration.
In the given passage, the narrator uses a lot of 'he' to refer to Ray, the character. There are no indications of 'you' or 'I' or "we", which means that the narrator is far from being a character or part of the story.
Thus, the correct answer is third-person narration.
