Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi."

And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest.

The theme expressed in this paragraph is that

even wise people do foolish things at times.those who sacrifice for others are great people.sacrificing one’s most prized possessions is foolish.<span>wise people are often those with the fewest possessions.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

B

. by suggesting a conflict between humans and the  environment

Explanation:

"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.

The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.

Which argument does the author make against binge-watching and its effect on mental health in the Newsela article "PRO/CON: Bing
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The argument that the author is making in the article is that binge-watching can cause people to suffer from depression.

Explanation:

The article. "PRO/CON: Is binge-watching a harmless  pleasure or a harmful addiction?" talks about the benefits and drawbacks of bing-watching.

The author's argument against binge-watching is that it can cause people to suffer from depression. The author supports his claim by sharing a study by the University of Texas, in which doctors remarked that people who binge-watching are most likely to have less self-control, depression, and may feel lonely.

The doctors claimed that after their favorite show ends, people who bing-watch feel depressed that their favorite show ended.

Therefore, the correct answer is that binge-watching can cause people to suffer from depression.
