Answer:
[2] They can be entertaining to watch but extremely dangerous when used by untrained individuals.
Explanation:
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.

In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln explains why the dead soldiers will be remembered. Which of the following paragraphs best addresses this idea?
1) Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.”
2) Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do.
3) 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 hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
4) It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Read the excerpt from “On the Mountain.”
Jess had done enough climbing to know that most accidents happen when you're going downhill, so she was careful as she headed back. The first mile or so was easy, but during the second mile, she began to get a little nervous. As she went farther down, she began to be less frustrated with Will. He was her climbing companion, and he was supposed to stay with her, but the reverse was true, too. She had abandoned him there on the path. For all she knew, something could have happened to him. Feeling worried, Jess moved faster down the mountain.
Which statement provides the best summary of the scene?
1. Jess is frustrated with Will, so she rushes down the mountain.
2. Jess becomes less angry with Will and begins to think about his safety.
3. Jess feels guilty for abandoning her climbing companion.
4. Jess slows down as the trail unexpectedly narrows during the second mile.

what does the text of paragraphs 11 and 12 indicate about the purpose, audience, and message of Shapiro's essay?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here are the paragraphs under consideration from (The Lesson of Salem: Taken from Newsweek, August 31, 1992, by Laura Shapiro):
"Today many scholars believe it was clinical hysteria that set off the girls in Tituba's kitchen. Fits, convulsions, vocal outbursts, feelings of being pinched and bitten-all of these symptoms have been witnessed and described, most often in young women, for centuries.
Sometimes the seizures have been attributed to Satan, other times to God, but ever since Freud weighed in, hysteria has been traced to the unconscious. As Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital, told a Tercentenary symposium, hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man," and occurs when repressed thoughts and emotions burst forth and take over the body. Life could be dreary for girls in 17th-century Salem: their place was home and their duty was obedience; many were illiterate, and there were few outlets for a youthful imagination except in the grim lessons of Puritan theology. Dabbling in magic in the reverend's own kitchen would have been wonderfully scary, perhaps enough to release psychic demons lurking since childhood.
Explanation:
From the text above we could observe that the author tries to give a medical explanation of what happened in Salem so as not to put the blame entirely on the girls.
Remember, in Salem, many women were accused of deliberately practicing witchcraft. However, by quoting a medical professional (Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital), commenting about the medical condition "hysteria", who said, "hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man," In other words, the women were mere victims of emotional and psychological distresses.

How does the plot structure contribute to the reader’s experience? How is foreshadowing incorporated?
Answer:
Plot structure can be vital in properly interpreting a passage.
Explanation:
Should the passage be disorganized the reader can be expected to be left confused. Should the passage be organized, you can expect the read to follow the story easily. Most, if not all stories should follow the routine exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and finally climax plot structure. Should this order be rearranged it could easily confuse the reader and lead to an uninteresting and puzzling story.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Answer:
So, how does the "big idea" of your story make your experience reading more positive or negative? How does foreshadowing combine with your plot? How does it make the story more fun to read or add an aspect of apprehension or excitement/expectancy to your story?

Lord of the flies simon character analysation using quotes and word level analysis
Answer:
Whereas Ralph and Jack stand at opposite ends of the spectrum between civilization and savagery, Simon stands on an entirely different plane from all the other boys. Simon embodies a kind of innate, spiritual human goodness that is deeply connected with nature and, in its own way, as primal as Jack’s evil. The other boys abandon moral behavior as soon as civilization is no longer there to impose it upon them. They are not innately moral; rather, the adult world—the threat of punishment for misdeeds—has conditioned them to act morally. To an extent, even the seemingly civilized Ralph and Piggy are products of social conditioning, as we see when they participate in the hunt-dance. In Golding’s view, the human impulse toward civilization is not as deeply rooted as the human impulse toward savagery. Unlike all the other boys on the island, Simon acts morally not out of guilt or shame but because he believes in the inherent value of morality. He behaves kindly toward the younger children, and he is the first to realize the problem posed by the beast and the Lord of the Flies—that is, that the monster on the island is not a real, physical beast but rather a savagery that lurks within each human being. The sow’s head on the stake symbolizes this idea, as we see in Simon’s vision of the head speaking to him. Ultimately, this idea of the inherent evil within each human being stands as the moral conclusion and central problem of the novel. Against this idea of evil, Simon represents a contrary idea of essential human goodness. However, his brutal murder at the hands of the other boys indicates the scarcity of that good amid an overwhelming abundance of evil.
Explanation:
Simon, in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," is a complex character who stands apart from the other boys on the deserted island. He possesses a deep sense of empathy, introspection, and an innate connection to nature.
Through his actions, words, and symbolic encounters, Simon represents the embodiment of goodness and the spiritual aspects of human nature. Here is a character analysis of Simon using quotes and word-level analysis:
Empathy and Compassion:
"Simon found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands" (Chapter 3): This quote showcases Simon's selflessness and willingness to help others. He goes out of his way to provide nourishment for the weaker boys, demonstrating his empathy and compassion.
"Simon knelt on all fours, inspected the vast stretches of darkening beach" (Chapter 4): Simon's act of kneeling and inspecting the beach shows his attentiveness to the environment and his desire to understand and connect with it. It signifies his deep empathy towards nature.
Introspection and Insight:
"What I mean is... maybe it's only us" (Chapter 5): Simon offers this quote during a discussion about the "beast." His words imply his understanding that the true evil lies within the boys themselves. It reflects his introspective nature and his ability to perceive the inner darkness present within humanity.
"Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! ... You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you?" (Chapter 8): Simon utters these words when confronted by the Lord of the Flies (a pig's head on a stick). His insight recognizes that the beast is not an external entity but a manifestation of the boys' own savagery. He realizes that the darkness within them is interconnected, including himself.
Connection to Nature and Spirituality:
"He climbed the hill and stood looking down at the lagoon; and across that, the endless sea. ... He looked round the circle of eager faces. There was no solemn assembly for debate nor dignity of the conch" (Chapter 9): Simon's solitary climb to the hilltop and his gaze at the sea depict his spiritual connection with nature. His distancing from the boys' chaos and his longing for a higher truth sets him apart from the others.
"You'll get back to where you came from" (Chapter 8): Simon speaks these words to the "dead" parachutist, symbolizing his belief in an afterlife or some form of transcendence. This shows his spiritual inclinations and his belief in something beyond the material world.
In conclusion, Simon's character in "Lord of the Flies" embodies empathy, introspection, and a deep connection to nature. Through his actions and words, he represents the forces of goodness and spirituality amidst the boys' descent into savagery. His empathy towards others, insightful observations, and spiritual connection highlight his significance as a symbol of moral conscience and the innate human capacity for compassion.

Which statement best expresses the central idea of the excerpt? 0 James Jay was a spy for the Americans and had knowledge of chemistry. © James Jay's invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages. James Jay believed secret messages that became visible because of heat were pot secure James Jay's system required two chemicals for writing and reading Invisible ink messages.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it, his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted.
Answer:
The statement which best expresses the central idea of the excerpt is:
B. James Jay's invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.
Explanation:
Options A and C have information that we can assume after reading the passage, but that is not explicit in it. Therefore, they cannot refer to the central idea. We can eliminate those options.
Option D mentions the two chemicals required for writing and reading the messages. Even though that piece of information is discussed in the excerpt, it serves more as an explanation of the central idea. In fact, the central idea itself is that Washington was able to write secret messages because of James Jay's invisible ink. That is what the passage is ultimately about. The author is merely explaining how that ink works when he mentions the chemicals. Thus, we can eliminate letter D and choose letter B as the correct option.

Throughout human history, dreams have terrified, thrilled, and
inspired us. But what do they mean? What is their purpose? This essay will provide several explanations from various fields and raise a few questions about dreams that are yet to be answered.
2. What qualifies as a dream exactly? The term dream can refer to
our hopes about the future, as in, "One day I dream of visiting
Paris." Dreams can also refer to waking fantasies that we largely
have control over, such as daydreams. However, the scientific
field of oneirology is concerned with what happens when we
sleep. "For a dream to be a dream, it has to be an involuntary
experience that occurs during the Rapid Eye Movement, or REM,
stage of sleep," says neuropsychologist Martin Dyson. "All other
uses of the word dream fall outside the domain of science."
While all types of dreams are important, it is these nighttime
dreams that truly fascinate us.
3. In a typical night's rest, REM sleep is the stage that happens in
the final few hours before we wake up in the morning. In The Science of Dreams and the Dreams of Science, author Isabella
Greene explains that this stage of sleep is marked by brain
activity that is similar to the brain activity of people who are
awake (224). Sleepers have "experiences" during REM sleep, just
as waking people do. Some scientists think that during REM
sleep the brain clears out our short-term memory and commits
important experiences, such as getting a raise or breaking up
with our sweethearts, to long-term memory. But why we dream
during this process is still a mystery.
4. Some intriguing, though incomplete, ideas have come from
researchers trying to explain why our brains give us such vivid
and emotional experiences every night. Sigmund Freud believed
that dreams are expressions of memories and anxieties that we
avoid thinking about during our waking lives. Carl Jung provided
a modern version of the ancient opinion that dreams are
messages that help us figure out how to avoid disaster, almost
like prophecies. Perhaps the popularity of Jung's interpretation is
the reason that many people keep dream journals, wherein they write down their dream experiences before they forget them.
After all, if dreams are messages, one had better not ignore them.
5. But interpreting dreams seems to be a basic human desire, and
interpretations of dreams predate modern psychology by many
years. The ancient Sumerians, Chinese, and Indians believed that,
during dreams, the soul escapes from the body to wander in a spiritual realm. The ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates,
theorized that the soul creates its environment when one is asleep and receives its environment when one is awake. Given
that modern science has yet to explain dreams, any ancient interpretation is as good as a modern one for now. Perhaps one
day that won't be the case.
6. Until the truth behind dreams is finally revealed, people will continue to speculate about their purpose. And even if the role of dreams is finally articulated, dreams will continue to haunt us,
fascinate us, and move us. which is the best example of a description paragraph in the essay?
