Answer:Many people know that Gujarat is one of the star performers when it comes to overall economic growth. But how many know that Gujarat is an outstanding performer in agriculture, growing at 9.6% per annum since 2000-01? Though there is high volatility in agriculture growth rates for almost all states, the performance of Gujarat’s agriculture is more than thrice the all-India figure, and certainly way above that of UP and West Bengal, two large agricultural states.
Surprisingly, even Bihar is doing much better (at more than 4% per annum) than all-India performance (see figure). This makes one curious to know what are the drivers of agricultural growth in Gujarat; and if Gujarat has managed to excel in agriculture, why not others?
IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute) research points to three main sources of growth in Gujarat’s agriculture: (1) cotton output soared from 3.05 million bales (of 170 kg each) in 2002/03 to 11.2 million bales in 2007/08, primarily driven by Bt cotton since 2002; (2) the rapid growth of the high value segment, ie, livestock, fruits & vegetables.
While Gujarat’s dairy success is well known, which is growing at 6-7% per annum on sustainable basis, the recent phenomenon of high growth comes from fruits and vegetables (dominated by banana, mango, potato and onions) that has grown at almost 12.8% during 2000/01 to 2007/08; (3) the third main source of growth comes from wheat—after a low of 0.6 million tonnes in 2000/01, production jumped to 3.8 million tonnes in 2007/08- an average annual growth rate of 28%!
Technology development and diffusion is a key driver of agricultural growth, fuelling cotton production, raising both the production frontier as well as farmers’ incomes substantially. While the public sector has played a role in production and distribution of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds like wheat, the private seed sector has taken a lead in developing and promoting the use of Bt Cotton seeds. In Gujarat alone, 26 private seed companies have registered 113 varieties of BT Cotton. Not only has the yield more than doubled in just five to six years, at present more than 50% of the total cotton area in Gujarat has come under Bt cotton.
The second key driver is increased access to water. Gujarat is a drought-prone state, with an irrigation cover of just 36% of gross cropped area. Increased water supply from Sardar Sarovar project, higher investments in check-dams and watersheds (as of June 2007, a total of 2, 97,527 check dams, boribunds and Khet Talavadi (farm ponds) had been constructed by the state in cooperation with NGOs and the private sector), and of course, good rainfall for the past few years has helped propel growth.
Concerted efforts to recharge water table, regulate electricity for agricultural use (by separating feeder lines for irrigation and other uses under the Jyotigram scheme) as well as providing high subsidy to farmers with modern water saving technologies like drip irrigation is a key development. Investment in water management and supply for agriculture has led to increased irrigated area under wheat, cotton and fruits & vegetables that have boosted production. Continuing investment in roads since the nineties have paid off, as there are good quality roads even in most rural areas (98.74% of villages are connected by pucca roads).

What did Barbara Frietchie do that caused her to become a legend?
Answer:
Explanation:

According to the poem, Barbara (who was 90 at the time), leaned through the window, waving the Unionist flag, and shouted to the Confederate general: “‘Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country’s flag”.

Outline
Answer:
Do you believe that artists and authors should get awards for something that they did not mean to get yet deserved? That is what happened with Bob Dylan, who won a literature award for his rock music. There are many reasons why this should have been good. That includes that music is a form of literature and that Dylan was already deemed worthy by the judges. Bob Dylan is a famous singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist, though he is most widely known for his career in rock music. Before he started making rock music, he was an American folk singer. Dylan earned many awards throughout his music career. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Nashville songwriter hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He got awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2016 as well. He earned the Nobel Prize for creating new poetic expressions within the American song tradition. It sparked many controversies, some saying actual writers deserved it, and others argued in Dylan’s defense. Bob Dylan’s work was poetic yet musical -and it was meant to be like that! Music and literature are both beautiful forms of art, and they are even better when mixed. Think about rhymes, musicals, and operas, they are very poetic and musical. Bob Dylan was very poetic, he even wrote a few books himself, like Tarantula and The Lyrics: 1961–2012. Poets.org says “Mr. Dylan has often sprinkled literary allusions into his music and cited the influence of poetry on his lyrics, and has referenced Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, and Ezra Pound“. His award in literature was no accident.There is no mistake in the choice the Nobel Prize judges made. These are well-educated and experienced professionals in charge of the Nobel prize for literature. The judges know what they are doing, especially if they award people a prize this important. Bustle says “members of the Swedish Academy and other similar organizations, literature and linguistic professors, previous Noble Prize winners, and national leaders” are the ones who decide who win the Nobel Prizes. These are very credible judges. It is for sure that the judges for the Noble prize winners are very credible and qualified people. It is also now known that Dylan was an author and put poetic writings in his songs on purpose. We can conclude that Bob Dylan deserved his prize.
Explanation:
Answer:
Do you think that authors and artists should receive honors for merits they did not intend to receive? Bob Dylan experienced this when his rock music earned him a literary award. This should have been beneficial for a variety of reasons. This includes the fact that music is a type of literature and that the judges had previously selected Dylan as a deserving candidate. Although he is well-known as a singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist, Bob Dylan is best remembered for his work in rock music. He was an American folk singer before he began making rock music. Throughout his musical career, Dylan received numerous honors. He is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2016, he was also given the Literature Nobel Prize. He won the Nobel Prize for introducing fresh poetic language into the canon of American music. Many debates followed, with some claiming that real writers should have received it while others defended Dylan. The poetry and musicality of Bob Dylan's work were intentional. Both literature and music are exquisite forms of art, and when they are combined, they are even more sublime. Consider how musical and poetic rhymes, musicals, and operas are. Being a very lyrical person, Bob Dylan even self-penned a few books, including Tarantula and The Lyrics: 1961–2012. According to poets.org, Mr. Dylan frequently incorporates literary allusions into his songs and acknowledges the influence of poetry on his lyrics.
His literary honor was not a coincidence. The decision reached by the Nobel Prize judges was perfect. The individuals in charge of awarding the Nobel prize for literature are qualified individuals with years of experience. In particular, if they give out a prize this significant, the judges are competent. According to Bustle, the Nobel Prizes are chosen by "members of the Swedish Academy and other comparable institutions, literature and language experts, previous Noble Prize recipients, and national leaders." These judges are incredibly reliable. There is no doubt that the judges for the Nobel Prize recipients are extremely trustworthy and capable individuals. Also now widely acknowledged, Dylan wrote poetry and intentionally incorporated it into his songs. In conclusion, Bob Dylan deserved his prize.

Read the excerpt from "Broken Chain."
Alfonso studied the magazine pictures of rock stars for a hairstyle. He liked the way Prince looked—and the bass player from Los Lobos. Alfonso thought he would look cool with his hair razored into a V in the back and streaked purple. But he knew his mother wouldn’t go for it. And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy.”
Alfonso didn’t dare color his hair. But one day he had it butched on the top, like in the magazines. His father had come home that evening from a softball game, happy that his team had drilled four homers in a thirteen-to-five bashing of Color Tile. He’d swaggered into the living room but had stopped cold when he saw Alfonso and asked, not joking but with real concern, "Did you hurt your head at school? ¿Qué pasó?”
A student is writing a paragraph that makes the point that Alfonso’s father is not a very likable character. Which would provide the best example of this point?
Soto’s description of the father swaggering and being “sullen as a toad”
Soto’s description of the father as “happy that his team had drilled four homers”
Soto’s description of the father who would just “sit in his chair” and had just “stopped cold”
Soto’s description of the father asking “with real concern” if Alfonso hurt his head
Answer:
Soto’s description of the father swaggering and being “sullen as a toad”
Explanation:
From what I am able to conclude I know that both the last one and 2nd one are wrong because they are saying good traits about Alfonso father. When comparing the two that are left over we see that he is describing his father as sullen as a toad so I believe it is that one.
The one that most adequately exemplifies that Alfonso's father is a displeasing or not likable character would be:
A). Soto’s description of the father swaggering and being “sullen as a toad”
What is Characterization?
As per the characterization provided in the given excerpt, the descriptions regarding the arrogance and clouting nature of her father show that her father is a displeasing character. The detail of him being "sullen as a toad" and calling Alfonso as "sissy" for doing what he finds pleasure in further substantiates this.The third-person portrayal helps the readers determine this point more effectively.Thus, option A is the correct answer.
