Read the two texts and then answer the question.

HAIKU
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.

What part of the story does the poem focus on?

A.
The fact that it still looks like winter
B.
The ways you can see that spring is coming
C.
What the trees look like before they get their leaves
D.
What the sparrows look like flying up into the oak tree

Answers

Answer 1
D because if you compare the two pieces then you can see the sparrows were startled and flew up to the tree for safety
Answer 2
it's B because in the paragraph it states things that let you know spring is coming

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

Answers

ANSWER: #4
I would say #4 Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways is correct because in the thesis statement it talks about how the water ways are polluted and number 4 is the only one that talks about pollution. (Sorry if I’m wrong) ♡♡

Answer:

I would say the answer is number 4: Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways

Explanation:

A topic sentence is meant to express the main idea of a paragraph, so I already scratch off number 1 and 2, since they do not have to do with polluted waterways and actions to stop it. This would mean it is between number 3 and 4. Although number 3 gives information about rain gardens, it does not mention that they are a way to stop or reduce pollution in local waterways. Therefore, the answer is number 4. I hope this helped!

Quote: "Youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals"

How does Thomas Paine compare a nation’s youth with an individual’s youth?

Answers

For Thomas Paine, both a young nation and a young individual are elements that are building and preparing their own future.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Paine compares youth to a seedbed.This is because the seedbed has elements that will develop in the future and show satisfactory results.For him, both a young person and a young nation are similar and represent a seedbed of the same course.

That's because Paine believes that a young person is preparing his own future, creating strategies that will develop and have satisfactory results. A young nation, on the other hand, is made up of a group of people, of all ages, who care about the nation's future and therefore work to make that future as promising as possible.

Explanation:

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.

Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.

As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that there are people who live in the desert?

A. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states.
B. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region.
C. A surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home.
