English

Answer:

Having “a place by the window” means standing still while watching life go by.

The word "baptized" means that Esperanza would like to have the ability to change her name since birth and not change it now, after she has grown up.

We can associate the word "baptized", in this story, the word "reborn", "resurge".

Explanation:

In "My Name" by Sandra Cisneros we learn about Esperanza's thoughts on her name. She believes that her name does not have a good cootation, a good story and does not fit well among English speakers.

She recalls that she has the same name as her grandmother, who was a very strong woman, but who was trapped in an undesirable marriage, unable to experience life's opportunities and just watching life go by and time go by. Experanza does not want to have that destination, although she has the same name as Grandma.

Experanza wants to have a better life and believes that changing her name would be a good first step, but she didn't want to change her name now, she wanted to be baptized with another name, which indicates that she wanted to be reborn and have a different life.

Which verb agrees in number with its subject? The forests near my home __________ many different types of trees and plants. A. c
KIM [24]
Take out the bare parts: the subject and verb: forests _____.
If you still can't tell, assimilate it to something easier. Let's say "they are". 
Both "forests" and "they" are plural. 
Now, you wouldn't say "they is"; the verb also has to be plural. 
Back to "forests _____": forests contain. (A)
By the Process of Elimination, C and D are incorrect. You also cannot fill it out with "has contained" because that is singular. It would be "have contained", but that does not make sense in the context. 
So, the final answer would sound like this: 
The forests near my home contain many different types of trees and plants.

I hope that clarifies the problem (:

Answer:

Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When George Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Also, Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains. Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint.

Why are Shakespeares plays considered difficult for<br> moderns students to understand?
Leya [2.2K]
Hello!

Shakespeare's plays are often considered difficult for modern students to understand because of the language used. Shakespeare's plays are written in a very old and formal version of English. Today, English is much less formal and more slang is used. The difference in the way that the English is written in the plays make it difficult for today's students to understand. 

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
