8 LOUIS: (holding up a newspaper article) Look at this! A pipe burst, and the thrift store on Market Street was severely flooded

.
9 EDDIE: Check out those torrents of water in the picture.

10 LOUIS: (reading from paper) A deluge of water drenched the clothing on lower displays. Employees attempted to salvage some items, but the majority of the merchandise was destroyed.

11 EDDIE: People contributed most of those clothes after spring-cleaning. The store lost all of its recent donations!

12 ROSA: That thrift store had a great selection of inexpensive clothes. Postponing a reopening is bad for the families that rely on that store.

13 LOUIS: Can’t they just dry off the clothes?

14 ROSA: After so much exposure to moisture, they have probably begun to reek.

15 EDDIE: I don’t even like gross, smelly clothes for sports! They should smell clean and fresh just like fabric softener. (EDDIE smiles dreamily, imagining fluffy clothes right out of the dryer.)

16 ROSA: I’m sure Eddie’s not the only one who appreciates clean fabric. We should try to help restock the store.

17 EDDIE: I’ll design pamphlets to encourage people to donate! We can distribute them in school tomorrow.


What motivates the characters to donate clothes? A) The clothes in the thrift store are ruined by fire damage. B) The clothes in the thrift store are ruined by water damage. C) The students want the owners to help them find soccer uniforms. D) The characters want the owners to help them find soccer equipment.

Ket [755]

Answer:

This passage from <em>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</em>  by Robert Louis Stevenson implies that <em>they only tolerated each other because of their family connection.</em> <u>The correct answer is the first one.</u>

Explanation:

According to this excerpt Mr. Utterson was used to base his relationships "<em>in a similar catholicity of good-nature</em>" and his friends were those "<em>of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest</em>". That was the reason for him to be friends with his "<em>distant kinsman</em>". They didn't seem to have much in common, but still they spent time together, and shared long walks. Those who used to see them said how dull they seemed together and it was difficult to know how or what they found attractive in each other. The reason is that <u>they were family, they'd known each other for a long time and that was enough reason to be "friends"</u>.

____ [38]

The political parties of the United States have always been formed around a particular issue or desire of people. For example, the Federalist party was formed due to the issue of the ratification of the Constitution, while the Free Soil party was formed as a way to oppose the expansion of slavery in the West. Each political party has represented different needs of the population. This is what colonists wanted from Great Britain prior to the Revolution. Before the war, Americans could not have different opinions in politics, or hope that their views were represented in the political arena.

what does the allusion It was such an obvious lie, I was surprised his nose didn't start growing. mean
Amiraneli [1.4K]
This is making a comparison to Pinocchio. Saying it was such an obvious lie I’m surprised his nose didn’t start growing is an exaggeration of how unbelievable and far-fetched his lie fib was.
