Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” I told and he listened. After that, I wished to tell all the people but he sho

wed me otherwise. He said, "Truth is a hard deer to hunt. If you eat too much truth at once, you may die of the truth. It was not idly that our fathers forbade the Dead Places." He was right—it is better the truth should come little by little. I have learned that, being a priest. Perhaps, in the old days, they ate knowledge too fast. Which theme is best reflected in the resolution of this excerpt? Speaking with honesty leads to wisdom. Facing the truth is not an easy task. Coming of age requires courage. Rules are created to protect the weak.

"By the Waters of Babylon" is a short story by Stephen Vincent Benét. The main character, John, is a priest and a priest's son who has lived in a post-apocalyptic world. He decides to travel to a forbidden place, a place where it is believed by himself and his people that gods used to live. After crossing the river Hudson and reaching New York, John finds out that the beings they believed to be gods were, in truth, men like himself and his peers. He realizes there are no demons haunting the place and also becomes aware of the fact that his people should be able to build great buildings and work with metal just like men used to do in the past.

In the excerpt, John has just returned home and told his father what he has seen. His father cautions him not to tell others the same way he told him. Since people have been living with wrong convictions for so long, they will probably not be able to take it all in at once, and might even doubt John, call him a liar or a crazy man. But if the truth is revealed little by little, people may get used to the idea that men caused their own destruction and that they are able to rebuild the world. Therefore, the best option seems to be: facing the truth is not an easy task.

Read the sentences. Coastal regions have abundant flora and fauna. The climate in coastal regions is moderated by warmer ocean w
Lunna [17]

Answer:

a) Coastal regions, where climate is moderated by warmer ocean waves, have abundant flora and fauna.

Explanation:

An adjective clause is a clause that functions as an adjective, describing the noun in the sentence. It contains a subject and a verb and stays next to the noun it modifies.

In the given pair of sentences, the second sentence can be turned into an adjective clause as it is talking about the subject "coastal regions" of the first sentence.

Thus, the rewritten sentence <em>"Coastal regions, where climate is moderated by warmer ocean waves, have abundant flora and fauna"</em> is the correct sentence using an adjective clause.

Write an essay explaining your definition of maintaining a strong friendship. (In Your own)
Semmy [17]
Be kind is the most important thing I believe if you are rude then why would someone want to be friends. Trust if you can trust someone to tell your secrets that is also important if you don’t trust someone you shouldn’t maintain a relationship. Honestly knowing how to be honest in the right time is important-if you are unable to then your friendship might fail over time. Personality If two people personalities are contradicting then how would two people continue to be friends. Comedy if someone finds it funny to make fun of a friends and you find it funny when someone makes fun of you then both of your comedy alines. If someone is very sensitive and either the person who likes making fun of friends or the sensitive person wants to become friends it might not be a good idea. You don’t want to hurt each-others feelings. I don’t like sarcasm so I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone sarcastic but I am . I stay friends with the person because even if they are sarcastic they are kind,good to talk too, active , and all and above honest. I have been told I’m kinda rude but its from a place of love I’m too honest and I don’t know when I’m being manipulative or rude so when my friends tell me I am I stop and apologize. Ive been friends with one person since the 1st grade i didn’t like her at first but we grew on each-other. We played all the time even when she moved to another state I would go their every winter and summer break to see my family and also her. She moved back and we hanged out pretty much everyday. Then moved but we still talk give each-other presents . Invite each-other to our houses.
