Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled

up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
Review the following line from the text:

The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke.

To create a more negative connotation, the author could have replaced the word crowd with which of the following synonyms?

Assembly

Gathering

Group

Mob

In the text:<u> Armed </u>with cameras and cell phones, they were <u>invading</u> the lions' territory in hopes of <u>capturing</u> the perfect photograph.

The connotative tone of the verbs in this text implies that the photographers were a negative presence in the wild animal’s space. The way the author describes it is in a <u>negative connotation.</u>

Using the verbs arm, invade and capture to express that the actions of this tourists were annoying the lions.

I would go with D) Mob because if its a negative connotation than mob would be the right answer because an assembly is not negative, not a gathering, and not a group because those could be BOTH positive AND negative but we want to find ONLY negative so mob because mobs are big groups of violent crazy people causing chaos.

Which word in the sentence should be followed by a semicolon?
ioda
<span>The sentence written correctly looks like:
</span>Brush your teeth; rinse thoroughly when you finish.

That is because "Brush your teeth" and "rinse thoroughly when you finish" are both independent phrases.

They can be joined together by either a period, or a semicolon. You can also join it using a comma and a conjunction.

<span>The correct answer is </span><span>C. teeth</span>

What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this story?
Pani-rosa [81]

The conclusion is that in the end the park will be built even tough it is not in everybody's agenda. Some people, following Samara's proposal, are convinced of the benefits that the park would bring and work towards its construction, trying to share their point of view with other members of the community. The fact is that no one is actually against the park, parties who do not explicitly support it are just indiferent.

Therefore, there will be no opposition but only preassure made by park supporters so it will be built.
