In order to calculate an accurate answer, we would really need to know the cost
of the textbooks. We don't know that, and they're not even all the same.
There's a good reason that you were given this question is Civics class, and
before I work on it for you, I want you to promise that you'll go to your teacher
on your way out of class someday soon, and tell your teacher that the guy who
helped you answer this question knows how the teacher feels, and that guy
feels the same way.
Ok. In order to give you a feeling for the answer, let's try to come up with a
cost that might be a reasonably close figure to use for text books in general.
Now, I know that things have gone completely out of sight since I was in school,
so I'm going to try hard to go high with my numbers. Let's say that the smallest
textbook costs $20, and the biggest one costs $60, and let's use $40 as an
estimate for the average cost of every new textbook.
If that's true, then the number of text books that I could buy with $5 billion
would be
(5,000,000,000) / (40) = <u>125 million textbooks</u> ! ! !
If the federal government would spend $5 billion on textbooks, there
would hardly be a high school student anywhere in the USA who didn't
have at least one brand new, up-to-date textbook.
And I can promise you that the book publishers would love it too.
You can summarize and paraphrase or directly quote.
To directly quote, use parentheses to separate the citation from the text. Then place the author's name or the name of the source inside, and if it is a book, include the page number(s). Hope this helps!

First one is false. this means that it is not appropriate.
second one is true. this means that the message is appropriate, so you would agree to any thing that has been set that is not inappropriate.
Jake, brave, pitiful, and older than his years, gazed down at his starving family. His mother had passed on a few months ago, and her dying wish was that the family stay together. Jake knew the foster system; it was unlikely that they could all stay together, especially with his track record with the law. Yet, he knew that they would not survive long without more food and money. He felt torn between fulfilling his promise to his mother and that other promise he made, the promise to himself. He had vowed to change his life when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Stealing would fulfill her promise (as long as he didn't get caught) but break the promise to himself that made him a new man. This new man cared for his siblings; what would happen to his family if he became a thief?

Answer:
Yesterday, my little sisters challenged me to a game of Scrabble. Usually, I avoid playing games with them because they're terrible cheaters. But pleading wore me down, and it was raining, so I agreed. We set up the board on the dining room table, removing Princess, the cat that likes to sleep . Then we picked our tiles. There are only two blank tiles, and I got them both! Things were looking good. The girls obviously didn’t like tiles: They kept trying to sneak their hands into the tile bag for new ones. There is not much else to say about the game, except that it went on and on and on. When it finally ended, I was more than ready to get out of there. The score? Lisa: 311. Janet: 296. Me: 64. Ugh. My sisters, of course, had a great time. already begging me to play
