They would be on him any minute now. His mind worked frantically. He thought of a native trick he had learned in Uganda. He slid

down the tree. He caught hold of a springy young sapling and to it he fastened his hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail; with a bit of wild grapevine he tied back the sapling. Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent. Rainsford knew now how an animal at bay feels.
He had to stop to get his breath. The baying of the hounds stopped abruptly, and Rainsford's heart stopped, too. They must have reached the knife.

What is the meaning of the word baying as it is used in the passage above?

howling
luring
silence
scampering

The author changed her profession to become an author. What does it tell you about people's aptitude or inclination towards a ce
VikaD [51]

Answer:

1. It tells me that people tend to excel more at their aptitudes. Their inclination towards a certain field is ingrained in them and they would always find fulfillment in them.

2. Yes, I believe that everyone should understand and follow their aptitude because they would give their best to it and perform it with joy and less stress.

Explanation:

Gill Lewis was a Veterinary doctor who loved telling stories since childhood. She, however, did not go on to become a writer because her handwriting was poor and she could not spell well. She went on to become a Veterinary doctor but still had the aptitude for telling stories. When she explored her aptitude she derived joy from it, and she is today known as an author for children's stories.

This story highlights the fact that;

1. People's natural abilities bring out the best in them.

2. We should not allow others to choose our career paths because they do not know our true abilities. When we do what we love, we will excel at it.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The answer is C Is there a correlation between extracurricular activities and grades?

Explanation:

A research paper is a form of academic writing based on the original study on a specific topic by its author and the review and interpretation of the results of the research.  

The reason why “Is there a correlation between extracurricular activities and grades” research question would be most appropriate for a four- to five-page research paper is because it has to go through long process where we have to know the independent and dependent variable and it involves many calculations.

Revise this paragraph from the essay on voter identification, which focuses on one of the claim's supporting reasons. As you rev
Agata [3.3K]

Many people don't have a photo identification. Requiring people to show a photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a smallportion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "Few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States
