The present perfect refers to an act that took place in the past, from the perspective of the present. "I have eaten" means that at some point in the past, eating occurred. Now (at the present), it is over.

The simple present tells you about what's going on currently. "I eat" means that the act of eating is ongoing. (Though it can also refer to a habitual act; I may not be eating right at this instant, but it's the sort of thing that I could be doing right now, because the eating isn't complete.)

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

D. Every high school located near a body of water should make students pass a swimming test in order to graduate

Explanation:

The central idea is to have students do swimming test so it would make it safer and have less people drowning. A, just talks about the incidents which isn't what it is mostly about, B just says they need to eliminate them but it doesn't say how which isn't correct either.  C states it irresponsible but it doesn't show the solution, that's why the answer is D.

Write a descriptive essay
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Unfortunately, I cannot write you an entire essay. But I can give you a prompt and ideas.

Describe a jungle, but do not directly say you are in a jungle. This will satisfy the "trying to work out where you are" part.

Paragraph one: describe waking up, feeling the roughness of dirt and leaves under you.

Paragraph two: You realize you are in an unfamiliar place. Describe the confusion and fear.

Paragraph three: describe looking around. What do you see? Probably a lot of trees and undergrowth (ferns, vines, other plants). What do you hear? Probably the calls of birds, unlike the ones in the city. Try to be specific when describing plants ("vines stretched into the canopy above my head.") or sounds ("a twig cracked in a nearby thicket. I jumped, heartrate rising.")

Paragraph four: Describe the new fear that comes with realizing you are in a jungle. Describe what you know about the dangers of jungles: the predatory animals, the diseases you can catch. This would probably lead to a feeling of dispair, loss of hope. <em>You can end your essay very strongly if you craft these negative emotions right</em>, and conclude that you are lost, alone, and probably will not survive.

Identify and evaluate the meaning and purpose of an example each of irony and satire from "The Devil and Tom Walker."
Stells [14]

Irving writes that no one really knows what happened to Tom's wife, however when Tom finds the missing checked cloth with a heart and liver inside and observes the scene near it, he concludes that his wife must have battled the devil and eventually lost--not easily, though, because Tom notices that there were

"many prints of cloven feet deeply stamped about the tree, and several handsful of hair, that looked as if they had been plucked from the coarse black shock of the woodsman. Tom knew his wife's prowess by experience."

The description is ironic on a couple of counts. First, the fact that Tom's wife was so stingy and stubborn that she would have given the devil a harsh time bargaining and fighting fits into Irving's typical, ironic description of the nagging wife.  Secondly, the last sentence refers back to the abuse that Tom often suffered at the hands of his wife, and he almost sympathizes for the devil in regards to the battle between him and Mrs. Walker.
