PLZ ANSWER, WILL GIVE 18 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!! James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot da

y, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.

"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."

"And I’m sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."

James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.

Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.

"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.

It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.

James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.

Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.

It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.

"What is that?" James whispered.

Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.

I need help for this question i don't get it because I don't know how to explain it.
Katarina [22]

Answer: Race: a grouping of people into groups that are typically perceived as separate within a given society based on similar physical or social characteristics.

Ethnicity: a collection of individuals who identify as a group due to similar characteristics that set them apart from other groups.

Nationality: a person's official identification as a subject or national of a sovereign state under international law.

They are all the same because it's a way for people to identify themselves as well as all of them having their own individual communities. They're different because they're all different types of identification. Someone can be of different ethnicity but the same nationality.

<h3>Transition Words</h3>

These are words that are used to link ideas in a given sentence and they are most effective in a compound sentence.

With this in mind, we see that the transition word "Although" is used which means that her friends saw that she needed their help, but <em>refused to give it. </em>

As a result of this, we can say that because they knew she was in trouble and did not help, then they hesitated to help her.

The answer cannot be stopped because that would mean they were already trying to help.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B
