Read the following persuasive paragraph. In one to two sentences, explain how the author uses a counterclaim to help support his or her position regarding school uniforms. Be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
"School Uniforms"
Requiring uniforms in public high schools has been debated for many years. There are certainly many positive reasons for having students wear them. If students were uniformly dressed, there would be less distractions about clothing, adding more focus on academics. Another reason to add uniforms is that there would no longer be conflict over how young people dress. There would be no singling out of poorer students who cannot wear designer labels, and young people wouldn't have to worry so much about fitting in because of how they dress. Opponents, however, say requiring school uniforms suppresses a young person's need for individuality. This simply isn't the case, though, as students can use hairstyle, jewelry, and so on to show their individuality. Requiring school uniforms would erase a number of conflicts and problems facing high school students today.
Answer:
According to the author, it is reasonable to have to wear a uniform in schools. Because it is good for such students.

The Book of Dragons
Chapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerpt
By E. Nesbit
It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark-only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried-not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind-and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.
When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural-rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.
Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.
"Oh, yes-it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."
Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"
The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope-then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.
"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."
"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."
The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.
But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon-spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"
The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.
"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."
It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long-with scales and wings.
So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.
And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.
"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."
And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays-and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.
Which describes the effect of having multiple incidents with the "specimens" in this section of the story? (5 points)
Select one:
a. It suggests a childlike awe.
b. It suggests a growing creature.
c. It suggests a lack of concern.
d. It suggests a sense of chaos.
Answer:
Explanation:
As said in the story in paragraph 2 "When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Which will give you a feeling what are they curious about? As stated in paragraph 3 "Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out.", As he said " it's" which mean we don't no if it's a female or male, or human at all!, After Effie's father had the "it" removed from her eye he said " This is very interesting". What is very interesting?, So it must have been something unknown. In paragraph 7 the "it" is identified as a Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings, that are a bat-like wing. Then the father took a quick look at the creature, and told Effile the the creature is a dragon! They mystery is what was in her eye?, what made is so interesting?, and why were they so curious?, because the mystery is actually a dragon!, and is there more of them?..

Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.
What is the main idea of the "Extra! Extra!" section of the article?
Some birding contests are for everyone.
Backyard birding is fun and interesting.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Was you in the crowd,
And how made me laugh.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Explanation:
Her hair, like golden silk, flows elagantly as the breeze weaves thew it., Her ruby lips, softer than an infant, yet so intimidating. Her eyes, as blue as an unpolluted atmosphere. Her figure, sculpted by mother nature herself. When I layed first sight on her through a screen, my heart made the sound of a large drum. Alas, I will never have the chance to see her in person, for my celeberty crush, is Scarlett Johansson.

thank you for understanding have a great day
Apparently it does not let me post links, however I searched "Culture in American Media". The very first websites I have clicked, they seem pretty cool! But for your assignment, try deciding on some of them. I would add links but it does not allow me to!
Some ideas I have in mind:
I don't really think EACH culture is represented. This is because the media can't have each and every culture represented. There are some cultures that aren't very well known as well.
I do think each culture can be represented accurately, however, they would not be 100% accurate. This is because some cultures have a bigger/smaller meaning than other cultures. The media might not understand the culture the best because it might not be their culture.
There are 100% stereotypes of culture continue in the media. An example would be people thinking asian people have small eyes. They also do think that chinese people eat dogs. So those might be some stereotypes. (KEEP IN MIND, THAT WAS NOT TO BE RACIST AT ALL. It is just my thought because I've been through these stereotypes!)
For the drawing, you are able to draw some stereotypes from different websites. I'm not the best at thinking what to draw! Well, this is all I have for you, I hope this helps! You're very welcome and have an amazing rest of your day. Good luck sunshine! <3

give a quote to surpport qntonio(out of the tempest) is cunning
please help its was due last friday!
[I weep] at mine unworthiness, that dare not offer
What I desire to give, and much less take
What I shall die to want. But this is trifling,
And all the more it seeks to hide itself
The bigger bulk it shows. Hence, bashful cunning,
And prompt me, plain and holy innocence.
I am your wife, if you will marry me.
If not, I’ll die your maid. To be your fellow
You may deny me, but I’ll be your servant
Whether you will or no (III.i.77–86)
Miranda delivers this speech to Ferdinand in Act III, scene i, declaring her undying love for him. Remarkably, she does not merely propose marriage, she practically insists upon it. This is one of two times in the play that Miranda seems to break out of the predictable character she has developed under the influence of her father’s magic. The first time is in Act I, scene ii, when she scolds Caliban for his ingratitude to her after all the time she has spent teaching him to speak. In the speech quoted above, as in Act I, scene ii, Miranda seems to come to a point at which she can no longer hold inside what she thinks. It is not that her desires get the better of her; rather, she realizes the necessity of expressing her desires. The naïve girl who can barely hold still long enough to hear her father’s long story in Act I, scene ii, and who is charmed asleep and awake as though she were a puppet, is replaced by a stronger, more mature individual at this moment. This speech, in which Miranda declares her sexual independence, using a metaphor that suggests both an erection and pregnancy (the “bigger bulk” trying to hide itself), seems to transform Miranda all at once from a girl into a woman.
At the same time, the last three lines somewhat undercut the power of this speech: Miranda seems, to a certain extent, a slave to her desires. Her pledge to follow Ferdinand, no matter what the cost to herself or what he desires, is echoed in the most degrading way possible by Caliban as he abases himself before the liquor-bearing Stephano. Ultimately, we know that Ferdinand and Miranda are right for one another from the fact that Ferdinand does not abuse the enormous trust Miranda puts in him.

Most people read in the traditional way, but speed readers claim to have a method that is faster.
This is the correct answer because speed readers are claiming that they have a method that is faster, and it is implied that most people cannot read this fast.
Most people cannot train their eyes to speed read, but some people can figure out how to read more quickly.
This is wrong because the passage never stated that people cannot train their eyes to read more quickly.
Speed readers can understand a lot more text with each glace at the page than most other readers can
While it is mentioned that speed readers can read quicker that other people, the main goal was that companies were proclaiming that they could train people.
Companies continue to try to sell speed reading programs to people who hope to read much faster
This is almost correct, but it is never said in the passage that people WANT to read much faster, just that they can't.

Bacteria are prokaryotes that have a reproduction rate of 20 minutes. Carbon dioxide and light are least likely to slow the reproductive rate. Thus, options A and C are correct.
What is the reproductive rate?The reproductive rate is the rate of the growth in a population over time that is affected by several factors including food, space, etc. The bacteria have a reproductive rate of 20 minutes which can double their population.
The factors like carbon dioxide and light do not affect the reproductive rate of the bacteria as they are not the crucial and as important as food and space for their reproduction.
