What is the theme of the McWilliamses and the burglar alarm?
Answer:
The theme of the story is that intelligence is more effective than money in protecting people.
Explanation:
"McWilliamses and the burglar alarm" is a short story written by Mark Twain. In this story we know the McWilliams family who spent lots of money buying burglar alarms for the house where they live, but thieves keep entering the house frequently, which shows that the alarms are completely ineffective. When the family complains to the company that makes the burglar alarms, the company says they need a better and more expensive alarm, which also doesn't stop thieves from breaking into the house.
Given this, Mark Twain shows that the McWilliams family could not see that they were being deceived by the producer of the burglar alarms. This lack of family intelligence prevented them from realizing this and for that reason, they believed that money was needed to protect them, when intelligence was even more essential in this case. Thus, we can conclude that the theme of this story is that intelligence is more important than money to protect a person and their family.
It is important to emphasize that the theme of a story refers to the message that the author wants to promote through the text.

Why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into Poland? Why were the tracks leading to Birkenau never bombed? I have put these questions to American presidents and generals and to high-ranking Soviet officers. Since Moscow and Washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? That not a single Allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on Auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. Birkenau was “processing” ten thousand Jews a day. Stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives.
Based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that
Answer:
B) people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice.
Explanation:
Had the Allied Forces simply bombed the railroads once they had the intelligence, many lives might have been spared. They only needed political will and a commitment to social duty, regardless of the personal dangers, in order to put a stop to the camps' deadly activities.

Answer:
Underwater
I was drowning.
Underwater.
Fighting for air,
fighting to swim.
Drowning, underwater.
Something held me down,
Something kept me from taking a breath.
Drowning, underwater.
I tried to float, but always sank.
I tried to breathe, but always choked.
Drowning, underwater.
I had no escape.
But you saved me.
You cut me loose.
Taught me how to swim,
taught me I could breathe.
Inhale, exhale.
Taught me I could smile,
taught me I could laugh.
You showed me kindness.
You showed me happiness.
When I found you,
I found me.
You gave me life,
you gave me purpose.
But you changed your mind.
Was I not enough?
not smart enough
not pretty enough
not skinny enough
not **** enough
not happy enough?
Was I too much?
Did I ask too much?
Did I care too much?
Did I love too much?
Did I need too much?
Did I hurt you?
Did I scare you?
Why were you so ******* afraid
Afraid of change
afraid of unknowns
afraid to let me in
afraid to feel what we felt
afraid of distance
afraid of trying
afraid to love me
afraid to let me love you
afraid of the future
afraid of us
afraid of this happiness
afraid it wouldn't last
But I needed you.
Now I'm drowning.
Underwater.
Fighting for air,
fighting to swim.
Drowning, underwater.
You're holding me down,
You're keeping me from taking a breath.
Drowning, underwater.
I'm trying to float, but I'm sinking.
I'm trying to breathe, but I'm choking.
Drowning, underwater.
There is no escape.
But I can't forget you.
Your words grab my ankles,
tying me to the ocean bottom.
I'm kicking and fighting,
but your touch paralyzes me.
I'm crying for help,
but your memory suffocates me.
No one sees me,
no one hears me,
no one saves me.
You don't save me.
Drowning,
Underwater.

Sự khác nhau giữa
"Look for.." và "find"
Answer:
rước tiên, hầu hết các bạn nhầm lẫn trong cách sử dụng “to find” tượng tự như “to look for” với suy nghĩ rằng chúng đều có nghĩa là “tìm kiếm”. Ví dụ, các bạn hay nói, “I’m finding a job.” hay “Mr. Nguyen is finding you.”
Tuy nhiên, chỉ có “to look for” có nghĩa là “tìm kiếm”, còn “to find” có nghĩa là “tìm thấy”. Như vậy, “to find” là kết quả của “to look for”. Khi mình đánh mất hoặc cần một thứ gì đó, mình phải “look for – tìm kiếm” thứ đó. Sau một lúc, mình có thể “find – tìm thấy” hoặc “not find – không tìm thấy” thứ đó.

Where do you think
the line between public safety and personal freedom
should be drawn?
Answer:
Explanation:
One thing I should warn you about. This question is kind of vague. Some mods don't believe it is part of a school subject, and so it will get deleted. You should make clear why you want an answer.
Let me begin by saying that in Canada, the question is not really a question. We have a constitution and a bill or rights. We don't think our rights have been transgressed when something like the virus shows up and we have to obey certain restrictions. Public Health takes presidence over personal freedom, and most of us willingly suspend our personal freedom in favor of public health. We can go back to expressing our opinions with letters to the editor and our government representatives when the virus is no more. There is a minority that objects to what I've written, and they get to have their say, but most of us are obedient.
The line is not really a line. Where public safety is concerned, the scale tips in that direction.
