The answers would be "He sells some magazines" or "He decides he wants to be a writer.", since Gumption means to be resourceful or have spirited initiative.

The answer is: He decides he wants to be a writer.

The main objective of Russel Baker in “no Gumption” is to show the people that they do not need to have gumption to succeed, this mean that they do not have to fight for what everyone wants, however, this encourage you to find the job that you lob, so at the end you gumption for that.

I don't think Ravi felt isolated. I think he was bored, and he didn't think the game was very interesting. Like he wanted to hid
torisob [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Do you agree or disagree with this point of view?

I disagree with this point of view.

Find evidence from the story to support or refute the student's claim. In your response, clarify why you agree or disagree with the student's thoughts.

Ravi is a character in the short story "Games at Twilight", by Anita Desai. He and his siblings are playing hide-and-seek when he decides to hide in the shed where old furniture and broken things are kept. Ravi is excited about the idea of winning the game. He is motivated by picturing himself as a champion who got to win over older, smarter kids. After hiding for hours, he comes out and runs to the "den" to become the desperate winner of a game that had been long over. His siblings had forgotten about him.

Upon this awful realization, Ravi feels completely isolated. He is obviously a young child who is still insecure about his place in the world. That's why he is so desperate to win - to prove something to himself and others. But the fact that he was forgotten is utterly disappointing and hurtful. He does not feel included; he does not want to be included anymore:

<em>And the arc of thin arms trembled in the twilight, and the heads were bowed so sadly, and their feet tramped to that melancholy refrain so mournfully, so helplessly, that </em><u><em>Ravi could not bear it. He would not follow them, he would not be included in this funereal game. He had wanted victory and triumph—not a funeral. But he had been forgotten, left out, and he would not join them now. The ignominy of being forgotten—how could he face it? He felt his heart go heavy and ache inside him unbearably. He lay down full length on the damp grass, crushing his face into it, no longer crying, silenced by a terrible sense of his insignificance.</em></u>

Do you think that the time machine was well written? Why or why not?
pochemuha
I think it was well written because the concept seems interesting in itself that people could go back in time or into the future. Albert Einstein has a better theory though

Why isn’t this research question effective? Check all that apply. It is not about a researchable topic. It has a single answer.
vladimir2022 [97]

The research question "Is recycling effective in the United States?" isn't effective because:

  • It is too broad
  • It is not specific enough.

<h3>What is a research question?</h3>

A research question refers to a question on which the whole research is based. While framing a research question the researcher must consider that the question is neither too broad nor too narrow to answer.

The question must be specific and should be capable of giving an opinion.

The given question is too broad as it covers a variety of aspects and to precisely answer this question is difficult. Also, the question doesn't specify the intention of the research.

Therefore the correct options are c and g.
