Read the excerpt from Seaplanes by Roberto Barerra


Flying boats have a fuselage, or body, that looks and acts like a ship’s hull. This hull enables them to float on the water very easily. Two small floats underneath its wings keep the flying boat stable in rough water. These seaplanes are usually larger and more stable on water than floatplanes are. A floatplane is a seaplane that has two long floats, called pontoons, under the fuselage. This is the only part of the plane that touches the water. Unlike flying boats, floatplanes often come in a wide variety of sizes. An amphibious vehicle can be either a flying boat or a floatplane with wheels. This allows the aircraft to land on both land and water.

Which BEST describes the purpose of the paragraph?


A.
to explain how seaplanes are used

B.
to encourage people to use seaplanes

C.
to list all of the types of seaplanes

D.
to describe the different parts of seaplanes

What happened in Book 9 of The Odyssey?

Answers

Answer:

Reluctantly, Odysseus tells the Phaeacians the sorry tale of his wanderings. From Troy, the winds sweep him and his men to Ismarus, city of the Cicones. The men plunder the land and, carried away by greed, stay until the reinforced ranks of the Cicones turn on them and attack. Odysseus and his crew finally escape, having lost six men per ship. A storm sent by Zeus sweeps them along for nine days before bringing them to the land of the Lotus-eaters, where the natives give some of Odysseus’s men the intoxicating fruit of the lotus. As soon as they eat this fruit, they lose all thoughts of home and long for nothing more than to stay there eating more fruit. Only by dragging his men back to the ship and locking them up can Odysseus get them off the island.

Odysseus and his men then sail through the murky night to the land of the Cyclopes, a rough and uncivilized race of one-eyed giants. After making a meal of wild goats captured on an island offshore, they cross to the mainland. There they immediately come upon a cave full of sheep and crates of milk and cheese. The men advise Odysseus to snatch some of the food and hurry off, but, to his and his crew’s detriment, he decides to linger. The cave’s inhabitant soon returns—it is the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Polyphemus makes a show of hospitality at first, but he soon turns hostile. He devours two of Odysseus’s men on the spot and imprisons Odysseus and the rest in his cave for future meals.

Odysseus wants to take his sword to Polyphemus right then, but he knows that only Polyphemus is strong enough to move the rock that he has placed across the door of his cave. Odysseus thus devises and executes a plan. The next day, while Polyphemus is outside pasturing his sheep, Odysseus finds a wooden staff in the cave and hardens it in the fire. When Polyphemus returns, Odysseus gets him drunk on wine that he brought along from the ship. Feeling jovial, Polyphemus asks Odysseus his name. Odysseus replies that his name is “Nobody” (9.410). As soon as Polyphemus collapses with intoxication, Odysseus and a select group of his men drive the red-hot staff into his eye. Polyphemus wakes with a shriek, and his neighbors come to see what is wrong, but they leave as soon as he calls out, “Nobody’s killing me” (9.455). When morning comes, Odysseus and his men escape from the cave, unseen by the blind Polyphemus, by clinging to the bellies of the monster’s sheep as they go out to graze. Safe on board their ships and with Polyphemus’s flock on board as well, Odysseus calls to land and reveals his true identity. With his former prisoners now out of reach, the blind giant lifts up a prayer to his father, Poseidon, calling for vengeance on Odysseus.

Use the ideas from your organizes to write your paragraph. Introduction sentence: Write the title, author, and your claim Body Write about how the pace, character, and mood affected you in each medium Conclusion sentence: Restate your ideas about your claim​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

“The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe claim for me is that the mediums were very similar since they were the same story the only difference was that the audio gave sound effects and made it more imaginative. The pace of the visual reading was much slower than the audio reading because the audio reading gave jump scares and sound effects to make the story go faster, rather in the visual reading you had to take your time and look for context clues to give hints to the reader. For the characters I feel that they were very similar. The only difference was that you actually got to hear the man’s voice in the audio rather in the visual you didn’t you just had to imagine it. And last but not least the mood. In the audio, the sounds and the voices made me feel frightened or panicked rather in the story i just felt aware or alarmed. So after reading both mediums the claim for me was definitely that they were both very similar but each medium affected you a different way.

24. It does not rain very much in the summer.

25. The moon goes round the earth.

Explanation:

We use the Simple Present Tense to express habitual actions, that is, something that is done with a certain frequency. It can also be used to express universal truths, that is, facts that are generally accepted as true by most if not all people. Take a look at the sentence below:

9. My sister walks to school every day. (habitual action)

25. The moon goes round the earth. (universal truth)

We use the Present Continuous to express an action that is taking place at the moment of speaking. It can be a shorter action, one that will end soon, or an action that will last for some time in the future. Phrases such as "at the moment" or "right now" commonly appear with this tense. Examples:

6. She is staying in Africa at the moment.

17. Let's go out. It is not raining now.

the passage of time
a change in the poem's point of view
the end of the poem

Answers

Answer: the passage of time

Explanation:

The whole idea of this poem by Robert Frost titled, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'' is that as time goes by, beautiful things will eventually wither, decay and die so it is best to enjoy them whilst one still can.

The alliteration:  "So dawn goes down to day", represent that passage of time because as the hours in a day go by, dawn eventually becomes day signifying that time has gone by.
