Answer:

I would probably believe the first set of aliens, "the wretched".

Explanation:

"The Wretched and the Beautiful", by E. Lily Yu uses aliens as a metaphor for the way we, as a society, view and treat refugees. In the story, the first set of extraterrestrials to arrive on a beach are received with violence. They have a disgusting appearance, which makes humans quick to judge and attack them, even though they are asking for refuge.

A second group, but of beautiful aliens, arrives and convinces the humans that the first group consists of criminals. The humans believe them and are more than relieved when they realize they are not the ones who will have deal with those first aliens.

<u>Even though I do understand why humanity in general would be tempted to believe the second group, I think would believe the first one. I know that we tend to fear what is different. Our primitive brains are wired to identify those who do not belong to our group or tribe as the enemy. Therefore, what is different is usually perceived as dangerous. However, precisely because I have that knowledge, I would try to break that pattern and put myself in those aliens' "shoes". I would imagine what it felt like to ask for help only to be treated as a threat and be attacked instead.</u>

The correct answer would be 
D) According to Scholastic Book Records 2011, soccer player Lionel Messi makes over $39 million dollars annually. This impressive salary is from his work as a striker for La Liga's Barcelona team (page 99). 
This is correct because it leaves your point of view out, it has correct grammar, and it gives you the source.

She's only filled with an old blind wish. It isn't even hers but came to her

Explanation:"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker in the poem talks of the beauty and effortlessness of turtle laying eggs in the sand. It's a sacred action, which the turtle itself cannot understand since the drive to do it does not come consciously. It is a purely instinctive drive, guided by nature. The speaker admires the turtle's determination and patience in completing the task while remaining unaware of itself as an individual. The turtle sees itself as the world, and the world as itself.
