2. Read the following paragraph from "Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy." So to enter the town with the honor and glory befitting a

loony, I had to start with my clothes. First, I went and had an extra long, bright red topcoat made. I smeared it with mud to make it look old and ripped holes in it left and right. Then I went to the flea market and bought piles of worthless old money and bizarre medals. These I pinned here and there on the coat. Around my waist I bound a thick belt and hung a frying pan to one end on a cord. The frying pan was to be my guitar. I hung things all around my belt: a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, an old electric clock, a women's umbrella, a cast-iron stove lid. Clanging and rattling all over, I boarded a bus. The people on the minibus broke into laughter, so I stood up, and using my frying pan as a guitar, sang all the songs I knew. Laughing and clapping, they were so light-hearted it was indescribable. Some threw oranges for me to eat, others gave me candy, and some money. Not only that, the bus driver not only failed to ask me for fare but invited me to his home: ”Where have you been all this time? Come every day, the food and drinks are on me.” Which of these sentences most effectively summarizes the main ideas in this paragraph? (1 point) A) The loony impressed the people on the bus by using a frying pan for a guitar and singing songs for them as entertainment. B) The people of the town were amused by their new loony's unusual appearance and seemed to take delight in his performance on the minibus. C) In order to become a loony, Helmi purchased new clothes, ripped holes in them, and pinned bizarre medals in all over himself in random order. D) The loony began his career by purchasing a new coat and tying to it a belt hung with a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, a clock, a women's umbrella, and an iron stove lid.

If a reader comes upon an unknown word while reading, she should: a skip it use context clues to try and figure out what it mean
Ann [662]

Answer:

Use context clues to try and figure out what it means.

Explanation:

For instance, if a book said "the man saw his missing treasure, and he was crestfallen," you could assume that the word "crestfallen" meant something like "disappointed" because if someone had missing treasure, they probably would be sad or angry.

Quickwrite: When you hear the word challenges, what comes to mind? Is the word positive or negative? Based on your prior experie
Step2247 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

When you hear the word challenges, what comes to mind? Is the word positive or negative?

When I hear the word "challenges", what comes to my mind is the sense of difficulty or the image of an obstacle. To me, at first, the word has a negative connotation. I tend to think of a challenge as something that makes it more difficult for me to achieve my goals.

Based on your prior experiences, how can challenges be helpful to an individual? How can they be harmful?

Based on my own experiences and the challenges I have faced in life, I believe they can be helpful since they get us out of our comfort zone. Even though they discouraged me at the beginning, once I faced them, challenges revealed themselves to be the best masters. I learned endurance, perseverance, and humility from them. On the other hand, when challenges are too frequent or too difficult, they may end up killing our passion and drive for something. In that sense, they can be harmful.
