PRANK'S FROM THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION Pranks are not limited to the young, but rather to the young at heart. In following traditio

n among the outgoing governors of Virginia, Tim Kaine, Tim Kaine pranked his incoming successor in a uniquely humorous fashion. While giving the official tour to the new governor’s family that would reside in the mansion, Kaine mentioned that it was haunted by a resident ghost that dwelled on its grounds. Before moving out of the mansion, outgoing governor Kaine placed burner phones within hard to find places around the mansion. The phones had ghost-like sounds recorded as ringtones that became progressively louder as they rang. As a part of the prank, Kaine would call at random hours, often at night, to the different phones that had been strategically hidden in the walls and on top of elevators throughout the mansion. “It was a great little trick and it had us spooked for a couple of days before we found the cell phones,” said incoming Governor McDonnell. This kind of prank was not the first and probably will not be the last among governors. Other pranks among governors include leaving life-size cardboard cut out of the former governor in the shower, an alarm clock set for 3:00 AM left in the bedroom, and a stuffed real bear left in the governor’s private bathroom. No one ever expects a prank the day after Halloween that’s what made it an even better idea. My brother Brian and I have had a running your turn my turn prank history ever since we learned about pranks from our very own parents. Since the last one was on me (a plastic roach on my pillow one morning), I knew my next idea had to be even more horrific. Here is the plan: I will wait behind the shower curtain in the morning before his arrival into the restroom. Once he stands half-asleep in front of the mirror, I will jump out, mask, and all, with arms, outstretched and yell “ Ahhhhh !” Everything is ready to go now. The plan execution had to be perfect. The waiting began. I hear his cell alarm go off followed by a few minutes pause. Then came the shuffling of his feet coming toward the restroom as he suddenly flicks on the lights. I noiselessly take a deep breath and hold the edge of the curtain ready to make my abrupt and chilling appearance. This will be the best prank remembered for a long time to come. ___________________________________________________________________ THE BEST PRANK EVER No one ever expects a prank the day after Halloween that’s what made it an even better idea.

Answer: A) plan on continuing the tradition of playing jokes.

Explanation:

The author in the selection noted that playing pranks on incoming Governors was a tradition and then mentioned that the prank played by Governor Kaine on Governor McDonnell would probably not be the last to be played among Governors. This shows that the author believes the tradition will continue.

The Narrator in the story mentions that they and their brother have a running <em>your turn my turn</em> prank history and then states that this time it is their turn. This shows that the narrator expects the tradition to continue.

Chose the word that BEST completes the sentence.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Thrifty

Explanation:

I would've chosen cheap at first but then thrifty means being cheap and using it for a cause, not wastefully. So that's why it best fits that sentence. Hope this helps!

nlexa [21]

Answer:

In simple words, the most needed thing in slum areas for education is the infrastructure. Majority of the students in slums go to school which have no proper buildings and facilities and no proper education is provided by the teachers.

Governess should incline the slum education initiative with the corporate governance and itself should intervene in the process.
