Answer: The basement was eerie and quiet, with a pale yellow light the only thing illuminating it. Walking down the steps, holding on to the railing, the dust came off on my fingers, a powdery substance. It smelled like mildew, and the creaking of the floorboards made it sound like the floor would break, and I would fall through.

adapted from To My Old Master
This letter was written by Jourdon Anderson, a person who escaped slavery during the Civil War. The letter is addressed to the man who once held him in slavery, Colonel P.H. Anderson. After the Civil War, Colonel Anderson’s plantation was failing, and he wrote Jourdon to ask him to return to work the fields and help him save his business.
Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865.
To my old Master, Colonel P. H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee.
Sir:
I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt and am glad you are still living. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance . . .
I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children, Milly, Jane, and Grundy, go to school and are learning well . . .
As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At $25 a month for me, and $2 a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to.
From your old servant,
Jourdon Anderson
P.S.— Say howdy to George Carter and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.
The trouble with option 2 was that the venting might push the fuel to an unstable condition. Or, another possible outcome of the “burping”: what if the landing gear hadn’t deployed correctly? Could any movement, or any resulting burst—no matter how small—tip the LM over? Many a voice in the debate thought the safest option was to abort—now! But that opinion was quickly overruled by the Grumman and NASA leadership (who were confident of the landing gear), and the consensus of the leaders was that it would be safe to gently, gently burp the engine.
Why does the author use a problem-solution text structure in the paragraph?
to help the reader understand the astronauts’ feelings about the landing
to help the reader understand the intense pressure of the situation
to help the reader understand the similarities between the leaders’ options
to help the reader understand the process of “burping” an engine

Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree
THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.
Which is the best description of the difference in how the poem and the story connect the sparrows to the coming of spring?
A.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.
B.
The poem connects them to dead leaves; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.
C.
The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects them to the warmth of the sun.
D.
The poem connects them to leaves returning to the branches; the story connects their return to the ground to the return of spring.

Thesis Statement:
Our local waterways are severely polluted, and actions must be taken to reduce the runoff that contributes to this pollution.
Which of the following is the best example of a topic sentence for an essay with this thesis?
1) Rain gardens are particularly useful near solid surfaces such as parking lots.
2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.
3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.
4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways
Answer:
4
Explanation:
you're starting off the paragraph that connects to the thesis, connecting that it reduces storm water runoff to how actions must be taken to reduce it. 1 is just a statement that to put it somewhere solid, 2 is a too specific fact, and 3 is the explantation. you would want 3 farther in on your paragraph rather than your opener.

Which character’s description of the planet turned out to be right in the end? Was the planet a horrible “wasteland” or an “ocean of possibilities”? And could the crew have realized the truth sooner? Provide evidence from the text to support your answers.
Answer:
Cassie was correct, the planet was a wasteland. The crew could not have realized the truth sooner because without stepping foot on the planet, they wouldn't have known it would collapse. To support this, here's a quote from the passage: "But just as the probe released its sampling arm, the dark spot split down the middle, pulling back to reveal a huge amber eye. The terrain around the probe rose up like mud-encased claws, pulling it down into what could only be described as a mouth, if a planet could have such a thing. Sighs turned to horrified gasps as the probe disappeared in one quick gulp." (Mystery Planet, paragraph 10.)
Explanation:
The quote above is from the passage, paragraph 10 and clearly explains the planet collapsing. I did the assignment.
I hope this helped, here's a screenshot of the quote from the passage!
The correct response is - The planet was a wasteland, and Cassie was right. Since they wouldn't have known the planet would disintegrate without setting foot on it, the crew could not have learned the reality sooner. Here is a passage quotation to prove my point: But as soon as the probe raised its sample arm, a black area split in half and pulled back, exposing a massive amber eye.
What is an Arm?A mortgage loan with an interest rate that is regularly altered based on an index that represents the cost to the lender in borrowing on the financial markets is known as a variable-rate mortgage, customizable mortgage, or tracker mortgage. The base rate or standard variable rate set by the lender may be used for the loan.
A loan with a variable interest rate is known as an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM).

Last year's Newburgh Film Festival was the most well attended in its short history. This should come as no surprise, though, as attendance has risen gradually in each of its nine years. This year, for the 10th anniversary, the festival will be moved from the Richmond High School auditorium to the Hudgins Performing Arts Center in downtown Newburgh. The main attraction, scheduled for the Saturday night of the weekend festival, is the premiere of Claude Lee's documentary Helper Monkey, which will be followed by a Q&A with the director himself. Tickets for this event are nearly sold out, but they can be purchased, along with all other festival passes, at the Hudgins Center box office or at any Quallick Farms grocery store.

Plant and animal cells have many of the same parts. Every cell has a(n) cell membrane that helps it keep its shape. Most cells have an nucleus that contains the organism’s genetic information. Between these two cell parts both plant and animal cell contain a gel-like substance called cytoplasm. Both plants and animals use a process called cellular respiration to convert food to energy. The rod-shaped structures that help carry out this process are mitochondria. Both plant and animal cells contain saclike storage structures called vaculoes. Because plants make their own food in a process called photosynthesis, their cells have some structures that animal cells do not have. The pigment that makes some plants green is called chlorophyll. The membranes in plant cells are surrounded by cell wall. Animal cells do not have these structures.
