Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.


A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

When researchers at the University of Missouri began examining trees in surrounding areas, fire damage in a Canadian forest revealed that huge wildfires in the mountains near Ontario darkened the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

Which sentence best describes the student's sentence?
The student's sentence does not include enough information from the paragraph.
The student's sentence leaves out too many important details from the paragraph.
The student's sentence perfectly and properly captures the main idea of the paragraph.
The student's sentence shows the main idea but does not paraphrase the author's words.

Read the excerpt from act 3 of A Doll's House.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

<em> </em><em>The conflict between Nora and Helmer shows how  gender roles were defined, as Helmer has complete  control over everything, including what the couple  discusses.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Doll`s House</em> written by Henrik Ibsen gives us exact social picture of that age. Nora and Torvald Helmer are married. He has a high position in society and he is the leading man of the house. Nora`s role is to be sweet, pretty wife with whom he can show off to the society. Their roles are predestined with expectations of society, if they want to be accepted, they have to play them. Helmer calls Nora with names like <em>squirrel</em> or <em>little bird</em>, in one moment he even marks her as his pet who spends a lot of money. He decides what she will eat or dress or even talk. We can say that Nora even uses her inferior position to get some power. She acts like a damsel in distress so to challenge him to help her in some meaningless activities in which he will feel like a man in charge, but for the biggest part of the play, she was not aware that using her subordinate position for some little and short term pleasures leaves her in that same position which is just being someone`s mannequin.

If students took over your school what changes would you make? Why? Give a detailed answer.​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

If we were a uniform school I would change the uniform policy to let students express their individuality.

If the school lunch sucks then I would provide better food choices for the school.

If the school is very strict I would calm down on a few rules.
