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.

Pompeii and Cesar in conflict with each other because
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: Because the Senate wanted Pompey as only consul, excluding Caesar, who was dreaded due to his great reputation.

Explanation:

At the end of the <em>First</em> <em>Triumvirate</em>, the Senate preferred Pompey, while Caesar, who had an outstanding support of the people, was rather feared. Apart from the fame among the people, he had the faithfulness of his glorious legions.  

Caesar’s great reputation led to the <em>demand of the Senate that he give up the command over his army</em>, what Caesar defied and entered Rome along with his legions. This was considered a <em>coup d’état</em> and the <u>Roman Civil War began </u>between Caesar and Pompey, who had the support of the Senate.

Answer: It’s Alan

Explanation:

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s ideas and pasting them off as their own. Even though someone like Karen may have forgotten to add citations, reading her essay would make it very clear that she is adding in her own ideas; she just forgot to add in the sources of which she tried to find information from. Alan didn’t do any work and tried to pass off the whole essay as his own. He did so on purpose too.
