It was the first day of October, and the bushes fairly danced with birds. The sun was out again after the rain, slanting low and

golden beneath the clouds, warming the west-facing wall and the bushes in front of it. Mandy watched, fascinated, as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches. They stretched their wings, shaking them up and down fast, and puffing out their chests. Revving their motors, Mandy thought. They're getting ready to fly south and savoring what's left of summer, just like me. "Take me along," she whispered. Question Why are the bushes dancing? Answer options with 4 options 1. This is a fantasy in which bushes can dance. 2. The wind is blowing hard through the bushes. 3. Mandy is shaking the branches to make them dance. 4. The birds are hopping around in the branches.

Answer:

The bushes are dancing because:

4. The birds are hopping around in the branches.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here clearly states that it is because of the birds that the bushes seem to be dancing:

<em>[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.</em>

<em>[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.</em>

The birds are hopping, stretching their wings, puffing out their chests, all the while making the bushes' branches sway. Why does the author use the word "dancing" to describe the movement of the branches, then? This is a technique called personification. Bushes cannot dance but, by saying so, the author conveys the idea that the way the bushes are moving is beautiful, rhythmic, hypnotizing, just like dancing.

Which of these words is a verb, based on its suffix justice justify just justly
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Justify

Explanation:

Verbs are words used to express actions, occurrences, and states of being.

Affixes are morphemes we add to the roots of words to change their meaning. A suffix is an affix we add after the root.

The root we have here is <em>just</em>, the meaning of which can be defined as<em> moral, right </em>or <em>fair. </em>Suffixes added to it here are <em>-ice, -ify, </em>and <em>-ly</em>. Out of them, the only one used to form verbs is<em> -ify</em>. Its meaning is<em> to become</em> or <em>make (someone or something) become (something). </em>This is why the verb<em> to justify </em>means <em>to show or prove to be just or right.</em>

Positive attitude in life can make the world a better place to live in. Do you agree or disagree with reference to the poem ’Dus
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

I agree with the poem's message that a positive attitude can make the world a better place.

Explanation:

As we can see in the poem, a positive attitude towards something unexpected or negative can be fundamental to life.

The poem has very few lines, however there is a great message in it. The speaker has an encounter with a raven that throws snow on him, and instead of getting angry, the speaker changes his mood in a positive way: he feels rued and saved.

The speaker could have been angered by this unexpected event and reacted in a bad way, even this could have ruined his day. However, he takes a positive and humorous attitude.

If we all did the same with the bad things that happen to us, the world would definitely be a better place.
