1) His name is Arturo too. I was named after him. I don’t really know my grandfather. His children, including my mother, came to

New York and New Jersey (where I was born) and he stayed on the Island until my grandmother died. Then he got sick, and since nobody could leave their jobs to go take care of him, they brought him to this nursing home in Brooklyn. I see him a couple of times a year, but he’s always surrounded by his sons and daughters. My mother tells me that Don Arturo had once been a teacher back in Puerto Rico, but had lost his job after the war. Then he became a farmer. She’s always saying in a sad voice, “Ay, bendito! What a waste of a fine mind.” Then she usually shrugs her shoulders and says, “Así es la vida.” That’s the way life is. It sometimes makes me mad that the adults I know just accept whatever is thrown at them because “that’s the way things are.” Not for me. I go after what I want.
According to Paragraph 1, how does Arturo differ from the adults he knows?
A. Arturo enjoys visiting his grandfather, but the adults enjoy visiting him whenever possible.
B. Arturo tries hard to get what he wants, but the adults think Arturo should stop wasting his time.
C. Arturo goes after what he wants, but the adults just accept what life gives them. D. Arturo wants to live in New Jersey, but the adults want to live in Brooklyn.

Answer:

C. Arturo goes after what he wants, but the adults just accept what life gives them.

Explanation:

This paragraph contains a picture of Arturo's grandfather. Arturo describes his grandfather's life journey and coming to Brooklyn. He portraits his grandfather as a person, who even in the hardest times, succeeds to find a solution. Arturo gives the commentary to this situation. The adults accept whatever is thrown at them because they are not willing to find a better solution.

They are reconciled with the current situation and Arturo does not want this for him. He is dedicated to going after what he wants.

Directions: Compare and contrast the lyrics to “You Gotta Be” and “We are the Champions” to determine how the same concept is ex
Simora [160]
For We are the Champions (WATC):
Evidence 1: It’s more based upon self-focus, meaning “We are. the Champions”, “No Time for Losers”
For You Gotta Be (YGB):
Evidence 1: More based on a worldview, everyone working together, “You gotta stay together....love will save the day”
For WATC:
Evidence 2: This is more than anything not only a reflection on your troubled past but now how successful you are, “It’s been no bed of roses...you brought me fame and fortune...”
For YGB:
Evidence 2: From my analysis, it seems like a breakup, where you can see how “Lovers, they may cause you tears...don’t be ashamed to cry” can show that maybe it’s supposed to be something about getting over a breakup. I’m not entirely sure though.
**Try your hand at a third difference, I spent like five minutes looking. Sorry you might have to do a bit of work yourself .

Similarities:
1. They are both about achievement and about working hard at something. “And we’ll keep on fighting till the end” (WATC). “The world keeps on spinning, you can’t stop it if you try to”
2. Struggle is obviously present in both of these songs. “Try and keep your head up to the sky” (YGB). “I’ve paid my dues time after time” (WATC).

Hope this helps :)

Is 'Although it is pretty, winter isn't as pretty as fall' a complex sentence with the dependent clause at the beginning of the
uysha [10]

Yes, Because the part of the sentence "Although it is pretty" won't be able to function on it's own as a proper sentence. However the sentence "winter isn't as pretty as fall", Is a independent clause at the end of the sentence. Hope I helped, Look at the images, It will help! :D

What do you already know about pronoun-antecedent agreement?
Delvig [45]
What I know about pronoun antecedent agreement is that when the pronoun agrees in number (referring to singular or plural) and person (referring to first, second, or third person) with its antecedent. Pronouns should agree in number, person, and gender with their antecedents. If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun should be singular. If the antecedent is plural, the pronoun should be plural.
