Read the excerpt from “A Century Ride.”

Slowly and dreamily she pushed the wheel up the road, sometimes standing for a moment with her left hand on the rough rails of the fence, and her eyes closed in involuntary slumber. The early morning wakened, the air was full of the song of larks. The sunlight touched her wan cheeks and glistened from the tears of weariness that gathered in her haggard eyes. Her pretty lips were drawn and pale, dust clung to her little hat, and lay thick on her golden curls.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

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.

Which statement includes explicit information from the excerpt?

Washington asked James Jay to invent a form of invisible ink.
Washington only knew about invisible ink that required heating.
James Jay was a doctor who had knowledge of chemistry.

Research the lyrics to an appropriate song or rap that has a universal theme. What is the theme of the song?
What is the evidence? Why?
How are they supporting the evidence?

Answers

Answer:

Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves

Explanation:

The theme is that life can be hard but you'll get through it. An example of this in the song would be when Kacey sings "And you're stuck out in the same old storm again,you hold tight to your umbrella, but darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya, that there's always been a rainbow hanging over your head". It is evidence because the rainbow over your head represents that you will get through the tough times. The "storm" refers to the tough times.

In keeping with traditional villanelle structure, the last line of this poem should be:

A. who scorned the tick of the falling weather.
B. He counted the guns of god a bother
C. A scowl of sun struck down my mother
D. There is no fourth line.

Answers

Answer:

A. who scorned the tick of the falling weather.

Explanation:

A traditional villanelle is a poetic form that has five tercets and a quatrain that acts as the closing stanza. The tercets are a three-line stanza while a quatrain is a four-line stanza. Moreover, it follows a pattern where the first and last line of the first tercet acts as the third line in the following tercets, alternating between the two.

Simply put, the first line of the first stanza will become the third line in the second and fourth stanza. Similarly, the third line of the first stanza will become the third line of the third and fifth stanzas. and these two lines will become the closing lines of the quatrain.

So, in keeping with the traditional villanelle structure, the last line of the poem "Lament" by Sylvia Plath will be "who scorned the tick of the falling weather."

Explain in five or more sentences how are I and my parents be part of service to the Church and to its members. (Christian Living-Not English)

Answers

Answer:

Christian Church is a Protestant ecclesiological term referring to the church invisible comprising all Christians, used since the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. In this understanding, "Christian Church" (or "catholic church") does not refer to a particular Christian denomination but to the "body" or "group" of believers, both defined in various ways. A prominent example of this is the branch theory maintained by some Anglicans. This is in contrast to the one true church applied to a specific concrete Christian institution, a majority Christian ecclesiological position maintained by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox churches, Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East.

Most English translations of the New Testament generally use the word "church" as a translation of the Ancient Greek: ἐκκλησία, romanized: ecclesia, found in the original Greek texts, which generally meant an "assembly" or "congregation".[1] This term appears in two verses of the Gospel of Matthew, 24 verses of the Acts of the Apostles, 58 verses of the Pauline epistles (including the earliest instances of its use in relation to a Christian body), two verses of the Letter to the Hebrews, one verse of the Epistle of James, three verses of the Third Epistle of John, and 19 verses of the Book of Revelation. In total, ἐκκλησία appears in the New Testament text 114 times, although not every instance is a technical reference to the church.[2] As such it is used for local communities as well as in a universal sense to mean all believers.[3] "Christianity", on the other hand, was first by the Church Father Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35–108/140 AD).

The Four Marks of the Church first expressed in the Nicene Creed (381) are that the Church is one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic (originating from the apostles).[4]

Write a paragraph highlighting three ways you can prepare for the CLEP exam and three benefits you can gain by taking this test.​

Answers

Answer:

The College Level Examination Program is a group of standard tests created by the College Board that tests college-level knowledge in 33 subject areas. More than 2,900 colleges and universities accept CLEP credit, and you can take the tests at more than 1,800 testing centers.

Peterson's CLEP Prep is a free resource for military spouses. Access online or printable learning tests and receive a baseline evaluation of your understanding of specific subject areas of the CLEP examination.

Benefits of the CLEP include earning three or more credits for each CLEP exam you pass, allowing you to study at home before testing for credit, providing flexibility to your degree program and possibly allowing you to graduate on time, which is often difficult due to permanent change of station moves, deployments and more

Explanation:

In this paragraph, we will discuss what the CLEP is, how to prepare for it, and what the rewards are.

What is CLEP?

The CLEP exams (College-Level Examination Program) examine a person's mastery of college-level information in over 30 disciplines and provide college credit to test-takers. These assessments can help students in continuing education, military personnel, and college students.Each exam costs $89. It takes between 90 and 120 minutes to finish. Individuals in the military are eligible for a free exam. Fees may also be waived for military family members and civilian employees. For more information, go to collegeboard.org.

What is the best way to prepare for the CLEP exam?

Examine the College Board's detailed information regarding each exam you intend to take.Examine your scores after taking free or paid CLEP practice tests online.Schedule your study hours when you will be able to concentrate without being distracted.Make SMART goals for your research: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.To strengthen your comprehension of a subject, use study strategies such as spaced practice and mind mapping.

What Are The Advantages Of Completing The Tests?

Students who pass CLEP tests receive course credit from over 2,900 colleges and universities in the United States. Many schools, on the other hand, only accept some CLEP test results, while others refuse to accept any. The College Board maintains a directory of schools that grant college credits for CLEP tests, but the most up-to-date information can be found on your university's website.The cost of each CLEP exam is $89 plus administrative costs. In 2020, the average cost of a three-credit college course was $1,677. As a result, some students may be able to save hundreds of dollars in tuition by testing out of college courses. Additionally, military personnel may be eligible for complimentary CLEP tests.You might be able to graduate sooner if you take the CLEP exam. If you take the CLEP exam in college composition, for example, you may be able to skip English 101. You may save up to 40 hours in the classroom by testing out of a 3-credit course like English 101, depending on the duration of your school's semester.
