The sentence which has a misplaced adjective phrase is:

<span>A. We saw a bird sitting on a branch with a long, yellow beak.
</span>
The correct sentence should be: "We saw a bird with a long, yellow beak<span> sitting on a branch." The adjective phrase "with a long, yellow beak sitting on a branch" should be placed directly after the noun bird which it modifies.</span>

Katena32 [7]

Answer:  You have to remember that Crusoe did not want to convert to Catholocism and it is not that he did not believe in God, but I think that he realized that he has to take care of himself no matter what the circumstances.  He also is able to take care of himself and others.  He seems to have wisdom in some areas of dealing with people, even though he can be manipulative and want his for his own gain.  My answer would be A.

Which selection from the section "Slowing The Spread" BEST explains what epidemiologists mean by "flattening the curve"?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

I believe the options are:

(A) All these decisions by public officials and businesses are aimed at one goal: slowing down the spread of  the virus to avoid overburdening a health care system that doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a  sudden surge of tens of thousands of cases at once.

(B) Epidemiologists study diseases and how they spread. They can somewhat predict how many cases of a  disease are going to occur based on how the disease is behaving.

(C) The only reason total U.S. cases aren't already skyrocketing is that coronavirus testing has been such a  mess that too few people — just 77 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the  whole week of March 8 — are being tested. You can't count cases you haven't identified yet.

(D) But every indication is that the United States is on track to see the same exponential increase other  countries are seeing, as scientist Mark Handley has been tracking on Twitter.

Explanation:

Flattening the curve basically means to lessen the pressure on the healthcare system by employing precautionary measures against the coronavirus. These, as you might already be aware, include hand washing, use of face masks, sanitizers, gloves and staying at home to prevent catching the infection.

Without protective measures, the number of cases will increase exponentially, ultimately overburdening the healthcare system. There won't be enough doctors, nurses or medical equipment to cater to the patients.

What theme is best shown in the following line of dialogue from string?
zimovet [89]

The correct answer is C. Concerning with appearances.

In this play by Alice Childress, the action takes place in a picnic of the neighbourhood block association. The appearance of Joe, a poor, homeless character disrupts the scene, and when a wallet dissapears, suspiction falls on him and they begin to harass Joe.

Even though the play deals with middle-class Blacks accusing a working class Black, the sentence in this case deals with keeping the appearances and respectability associated with middle-class expectations. In the context of these sentence, some of the characters, especially L. V. Craig are already harassin Joe, judging that because he is poor he must have stolen something. Maydelle is the character that keeps saying that kindness goes a long way and trying to de-escalate the situation. Even if they are misjudging Joe and picking on him, with this sentence she is more worried of Doctor MacDonald or the children hearing them loose their temper than with stopping the situation with Joe.

The name of the book is the hunger games
Elodia [21]

What makes Effie likable?

-She has a good attitude

-She has an excited and happy personality

-She makes it (The Hunger Games) seem acceptable with silly remarks and quirks, which probably makes the people of the Capitol, who like the hunger games, feel better about themselves.


What makes Effie unlikable?

- She's almost too happy about the Hunger Games, which is weird, because it is a game where children kill each other.

-She gets frustrated easily when people aren't behaving "correctly"

-Although she tries to help the tributes feel better about the games, she does this so that she seems like a better person.
