John put his arms and legs into his jumpsuit and zipped it up. He climbed aboard the airplane with the other passengers and thei

r instructor Zane. The small aircraft took off into the air, and John could feel the excitement inside the cabin, with everyone chatting nervously as the aircraft ascended. This was his third time skydiving, and John felt almost like a pro at this point. A few of the other passengers were doing this for the first time, however, and they asked their skydive partners lots of questions. The first-timers were required to have a partner, who would be strapped to their backs with a parachute.
John remembered his first time, several months ago. He was the youngest person in the group, but he was definitely not scared. John had bungee jumped, gone scuba diving, and competed in motocross races. Skydiving was just another way to achieve the adrenaline rush he craved.
As the airplane reached an altitude where the passengers could safely skydive, the girl sitting next to John leaned toward him.
"Have you done this before?" she asked.
"Yup," he replied with a big grin. Just then, he heard the instructor shouting his name over the sound of the airplane engines and the roaring wind. The cabin door was standing ajar, and Zane was waiting for him. John adjusted his parachute, stepped up to the edge of the door, and jumped out into the wide-open atmosphere.

Based on the passage, which word best characterizes John?

A.
adventurous
B.
nervous
C.
calm
D.
reckless

Answer by Mimiwhatsup:A.  adventurous

Why: I wouldn't say he is reckless by jumping out of a airplane but more adventurous because a lot of people do that.  "Skydiving was just another way to achieve the adrenaline rush he craved. "

Do you think the American Dream can change over time? Why or why not?
valina [46]

It all depends on which American Dream you're talking about.

When I Google the American Dream, a website defines it as "...the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone."

This isn't true. It just isn't.

In a perfect world, the dream itself doesn't change, but the rules we have in place to keep specific groups of people lower than others do. I personally believe it can't. I do think it is achievable without hard work; specifically if you aren't a minority, and born into a rich family. But, this is just my personal opinion.
