could someone please help me Some people believe that the hula hoop was first invented in the 1950s, but this is not the case. T

he hula hoop has actually been around for thousands of years. It was originally made of woven grasses, sticks, or vines. Back then, it wasn't known as the hula hoop. The "hula" part of the name comes from the traditional hula dance of Hawaii. The dance consists of a circular motion of the hips. A similar movement is used for hula hooping. The hula hoop can be used for exercise or for play. By moving one's hips in a circular motion, one can spin the hula hoop around the body for long periods of time. Currently, the world record for the longest duration of hula hooping is 74 hours and 54 minutes. Hula hooping became especially popular in the 1950s. Toy companies began advertising hula hoops and giving them away for free. One of the first producers of the hula hoop in the US was Carlon Products Corporation. At one point, the company was producing as many as 50,000 hula hoops a day! Which is the best summary of this passage? A. Many believe that the hula hoop was invented in the 1950s. The Carlon Company once manufactured as many as 50,000 hula hoops per day. The world record for the longest duration of hula hooping is about 75 hours. B. Toy companies began advertising hula hoops and giving them away for free in the 1950s. For this reason, many people believe the hula hoop was invented in the 1950s. The Carlon Company made 50,000 hula hoops a day. C. Hula hoops have been around for thousands of years. They can be used for exercise or for play because it only takes a simple circular movement of the hips to keep the hula hoop spinning. In the 1950s, there was a hula-hooping fad. D. Hula hoops take their name from the hula dance of the Hawaiian people. This is because the hula dance uses similar movements used by hula hoopers. The circular motion keeps the hoop spinning.

Desertification: (without viewing online content sorry cuz it don't work)

Desertification is one of Africa's greatest environmental concerns because of the great impact it has. Excluding Egypt, (which has the Nile River that provides what Egypt needs for thousands of years) most African countries are completely desert, with little source of water. This puts them in a position in which they can only do minimum farming, and mostly gather food from hunting or from desert plants. These usually are poor food, and so it is hard for them to even provide for themselves. What little farming areas they can use is generally used up quickly, due to overuse (forgot the term sorry*). This leads to desertification, and the land is useless in a couple of years. This impacts the people, because it means that even when they try to produce more and more food, overall, they will only be producing less and less. One way to solve this problem is to irrigate water to certain areas and allow it to stay fallow, and so it can slowly regrow. However, this is costly and takes a long time. This is a long-term problem, and will impact the people living in the area for years to come.

In the boy in the striped pajamas What is Bruno self-conscience about?<br>​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Internal and external conflicts always exist in literature. The internal conflict usually revolves around the concept of Man versus himself meaning that there is inner confusion and often a difficult choice to be made. It may be an emotional or ethical choice which is driven by feelings and perceptions. External conflicts are recognizable as the struggle of Man versus Man, Man versus Nature, Man versus fate or Destiny, Man versus society and Man versus machine. In The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, Bruno experiences inner and external conflict as he struggles to accept his father's decisions although he knows that his father holds the ultimate position of authority in the household which Bruno cannot question. Bruno decides to defy his parents wishes and go exploring along the fence (inner conflict). He makes a conscious decision to challenge that authority by going exploring even though he knows what is expected of him.  

Bruno suffers another inner conflict when he denies Shmuel after Kotler catches Shmuel eating the cake which Bruno has given him. This has painful consequences for both boys and Bruno's promise that he will never let his friend down again is put to the test and resolves the conflict when he joins Shmuel on his side of the fence, only to meet his death in the gas chamber.  

External conflicts include the only time Bruno stands up to his father in chapter 5 and is told that "those people...well they're not people at all." This conflict will be resolved when Bruno meets Shmuel for the first time and discovers that the boys share a birthday so are apparently not so different after all. This conflict could be both Man versus Man and Man versus society as Bruno reveals the similarities and not the differences between the Jews and the Nazis.  

In the conflict of Man versus Destiny, Bruno's mother desperately wants to free herself from any part in the Nazi solution. Her inner conflict as she tries to be loyal and to justify her part is outweighed by her external conflict as she fights the inevitable.
