Read the passage. Coral reefs are large, underwater formations found in the ocean that are made up of the skeletons of marine invertebrates, called coral. There are many different species of coral in oceans all over the world. Coral plays a critical role in the ocean because many species depend on coral for survival. Coral reefs help to shield coastal populations from erosion, storms, and waves. Millions of species in the ocean also depend of coral for food and shelter. But coral is in danger due to many threats including pollution and certain fishing practices. When reefs are healthy, the ocean is healthy. For this reason, many efforts have been established in order to protect coral. What does the author imply in the passage?
A. Coral is commonly collected by fisherman and used for food.
B. Coral is left scarce in the ocean due to fishing practices.
C. Coral is an essential part of the ocean and should be preserved.
D. Coral is found everywhere and is in ready supply in all oceans.

Answer 1

Answer: B not 100% sure but i am 50% sure.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Coral reefs are the oceanic structures that are the skeletons of marine invertebrates. The passage implies that the corals are an essential part of the ocean and must be preserved.

What is the importance of corals?

Corals or coral reefs are the hard calcareous skeleton of the marine invertebrate that are found anchored to oceanic floors. They play an important role in the oceanic ecosystem.

Many small organisms and species live in corals and feed on small planktonic creatures. They act as shelter and provide food to other organisms.

But, increasing water pollution and overfishing have led to a decrease in corals and had affected the ecosystem and organisms dependent on it.

Therefore, option C. coral is a crucial part and should be preserved.

In The Odyssey - Teiresias, when Teiresias describes the conflicts that Odysseus will face, how do these conflicts relate to the story’s theme?

The conflicts describe the theme.
The conflicts contrast with the theme.
The conflicts reveal the theme.
The conflicts hide the theme.

Answers

The conflicts describe the theme. I think so

Answer:

the conflicts reveal the theme

Explanation:

just took the test and im pretty sure the answer i chose (describe the theme) was wrong, the things that teiresias says more or less talks about the future events which lead to the theme of the story, so it reveals more than describes since describing would be living in the prediction.

Read this excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. What did Helen Keller understand about herself after learning how to sign the word water?

Answers

Answer:

B. She learned that she could overcome obstacles.

Explanation:

"The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller is a memoir where the blind and deaf author talks about her childhood and how she came to overcome her physical disabilities. The book provides an inspiring insight into the struggle of Keller and how she came to embrace life without the necessary sight and sound.

It was at this moment that she knew and realized the potential she has, the barriers she can overcome, and enjoy life like other people, even though through a much different aspect.

Thus, the correct answer is that she learned she could overcome the obstacles in her life.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A Voyage to Lilliput. Could any part of Swift's text be applied to the two major political parties in this country.

Yes, of course, it can be applied to the United States political parties.

On one hand, there is the Republican Party, whose members are conservative people who support nationalistic ideas, they are religious people with traditional approaches to family values, do not like the government to raise taxes to pay for social programs, and they support more investment in weapons and defense.

On the other hand, there is the Democratic Party. A more liberal party whose ideas tend to support the increase in taxes to create social programs to help the ones in need, they are more open to supporting minority groups, and liberal ideas about sexual orientation.

Both parties spend much of the time arguing, accusing each other, finger-pointing and insulting, instead of working together for the benefit of the country.

What is the one method you most often use to manage stress?

Answers

I am someone with anxiety, so I will say what I do, I hold my breath for 10 seconds, breath out for five seconds, hold breath for another 5 seconds, then breath in for 5 seconds. You can just start counting, focus on your breathing, do yoga, try to avoid doing stressing things, and read a book or try to rest for a bit

Answer:

One method I personally most often use to manage stress is to take a break from the things stressing me out and do something relaxing. For example, If I'm having trouble on a test and am feeling stressed out, I'll take a quick 5-10 minute break to go outside and take a quick walk, play with my dog or cat, etc. However, if your break is just laying in bed and going on your phone, you won't feel nearly as refreshed as you would if you went outside to get some fresh air, or just be mildly active.

Explanation:

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act IV, which adjective would Macduff and Malcolm be most likely to use to describe Macbeth’s rule on Scotland? Explain why it is right or wrong.
a. judicious
b. sundry
c. credulous
d. pernicious

Answers

Answer:

D. Pernicious

Explanation:

The Tragedy of Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells about a Scottish general Macbeth, who receives a prophecy from three witches. According to the prophecy, he will become king of Scotland. Spurred by his ambition and wife, Macbeth murders Duncan, takes over the throne, and rules as a tyrant. He slaughters many, including Macduff's family. Macduff reaches out to Malcolm, Duncan's son who had fled to England, and they gather an army consisting of Scottish and English forces and end Macbeth's reign.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the word Macduff and Malcolm would use to describe Macbeth's rule is pernicious. When something is pernicious, it has a harmful effect (on something).

The rest of the words don't fit at all. The adjective judicious refers to something that shows or is done with good judgment. The adjective sundry means of various kinds, and when someone is credulous, they are too ready to believe that something is true.

This is why option D is the correct one.

d. pernicious

From the above question, Option C is the best that completes the chart. This chart shows steps to Bicycle Safety. Attaching reflectors to tires and seat will help assure safety especially when riding in the night. Reflectors are shiny and when light hits them, they reflect the light.

In line 104, what does Martha mean when she says “His face looked innocent, but I knew better.”?

Answers

Answer:

Martha says that Mr. Schmidt's "face looked innocent" because he thinks that she has no idea about how there were a short misunderstanding and controversy over who must get the scholarship while in reality, Martha had overheard the conversation. Moreover, she has also had to deal with a short disappointment in getting the jacket, like she rightly deserves to.

Explanation:

Marta Salinas's short story "The Scholarship Jacket," tells the story of a school girl named Martha and her achievement of getting the school's scholarship jacket, though not without any obstacles along the way. But despite the short disappointment, Martha was able to get the long-awaited jacket that she has been vying for a long time.

When Martha said "His face looked innocent, but I knew better", she was referring to Mr. Schmidt, her history teacher who she overheard having a tense conversation with her math teacher Mr. Boone over who should be given the jacket. While Mr. Boone favors Joann whose father is rich and a Board member, Mr. Schmidt wants Martha to get it and she rightly deserves it because of her perfect grades. But both teachers did not know Martha overheard their conversation.

So, when Mr. Schmidt congratulated her, Martha stated that "his face looked innocent" as if Martha doesn't know anything about the conversation or even the disappointment she was given on the path to getting the jacket. But in truth, Martha knew everything and that was why she admitted "[she] knew better."

Wyatt Earp was a famous gunfighter in the American West. Born in 1848, Earp held several jobs before becoming
an admired, and feared, gunslinger. He was a stagecoach driver, railroad worker, and buffalo hunter. He was also
a bit of a gambler. Earp's reputation as a fearless, righteous sheriff grew when he turned Dodge City, Kansas,
from a lawless town into a peaceful city. From there he moved on to Tombstone, Arizona, joined by his brothers
and his good friend Doc Holliday. There, Earp and his crew fought in the now legendary gunfight at the O.K.
Corral. Many books have been written, and films made, about this famous battle between the law-abiding Earp
brothers and the criminal Clanton family.

А

B

С

D

Answers

Answer:

B). Combating

Explanation:

The most appropriate adjective to define Earp's qualities would be 'combating' as he is popularly known as the fearless lawman who was righteous in his conduct. This attitude and his efforts helped in transforming the lawless town of Kansas into a peaceful city. Infact, he died also during a gunfight with O.K.  Corral. Although he got arrested several times due to his association with brothels but he never attempted to jump off the jail and later he became a police officer. Probably, this is why he is known as a lawman and a gunslinger too. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
