Read the passage. Then, answer the questions that follow. Our school’s mission statement stresses community, cooperation, and pe

rsonal and intellectual growth. But one of our school’s practices—selecting a valedictorian and salutatorian each year—does not support our mission. This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. So let’s end it now! For some students, jockeying for these positions begins when they start high school. They choose classes they can ace, as well as AP and IB courses that boost their grade-point averages, rather than ones that excite their interest or challenge them. They pay plenty and spend hours in classes that promise to raise standardized test scores. Successful candidates are routinely accused of gaming the system. The formula for selecting the two “top” students is complex; selection can turn on several zeroes after a decimal point. At several schools around the country, students who lost out as valedictorian have sued. Is this the kind of situation we want to encourage at our school? Which of the following sentences most clearly expresses an opinion? A. Our school’s mission statement stresses community, cooperation, and personal and intellectual growth. B. This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. C. They pay plenty and spend hours in classes that promise to raise standardized test scores. D. The formula for selecting the two “top” students is complex; selection can turn on several zeroes after a decimal point.

The answer to the question "Which of the following sentences most clearly expresses an opinion?" is B.

This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. 

The word unfair is a key word to knowing that is in opinion, because there is no factual evidence to tell you that it is fair or unfair. Opinions can be backed by facts, but can not be proven.

raketka [301]

The correct answer is C) Sign together loudly.

<em>In “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, the speaker in the poem invites readers to sing together loudly. </em>

The emotive poem has speakers that ask the people to join together in rejoice. The poem says, “let our rejoicing rise”. Indeed, at the beginning of the poem, it is written: “Lift every voice and sing, till’ Earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,…sing a song full of the faith….sing a song full of the hope…”

The poem “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was written by James Weldon Johnson.

Answer:

Animals have taught us:

Compassion.  

Patience.

We're All Connected.  

Humans Aren't as Different as We Thought.

Respect Your Elders.

Responsibility.  

Listen Carefully.

Animals have taught us so many things with life and as we can see animals aren't as different as us humans; They've taught us responsibility (some proof on that fact is such as taking care of your young and gathering food for the pack/family/tribe) Listening carefully is also a good one something all animals need to have to survive, they use this technique for hunting, looking out for predators, etc. It is used in everyday life. Patience is something all animals need to help them throughout the day its not all easy to catch a fish with your mouth you know!

I hope this helps you! Let me know if it's wrong!! :)
