Read the excerpt from "Flight into Yesterday.” This leg was also the most dangerous of the entire trip. Howland, 2,600 miles to

the east, was a tiny speck of land in the middle of the vast Pacific. It would take all of her skill as a pilot and Fred’s as a navigator to find the island. But danger did not worry her. She knew that flying carried risks. She faced them and accepted them. What mattered was setting herself a challenge and meeting it. What mattered was showing that women could do what men could do and encouraging other women to do what they were capable of. That was why she was flying over the Pacific, looking for a speck of land. Fame was never her goal. The important thing was to do what she had set out to do and to do it as well as she knew how. She had been that way all her life. Amelia Earhart, world-famous flier, was very much like the young girl who once lived in Atchison, Kansas. What best describes the author’s purpose? The author wants readers to understand what Earhart’s childhood was like in Atchison, Kansas. The author wants readers to understand why Earhart would go on such a dangerous trip. The author wants readers to understand why Earhart became such a famous figure around the world. The author wants readers to understand how Earhart’s skills applied to the challenge she faced.

The author wants readers to understand why Earhart would go on such a dangerous trip.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

‘Earhart’s Flight into Yesterday’ is an excellent book about Amelia Earhart’s flying experiences by Caption Laurance. After reading the excerpt, one can figure out that the author want readers to understand the reason behind Earhart going on such a dangerous trip.

It was not that Earhart wanted to achieve fame and success. Rather she wanted to change the perspective of the people regarding women. She wanted to show the world that even women are capable enough to fly an aircraft. And which is why she decided to fly over the Pacific. She was the one who set many records that not even men were capable of.

valentina_108 [34]

The answer is D. safe and secure.


Waverly is only six when this short story begins. She lives in Chinatown, in San Francisco, and at such a young age, she sees the world in a simple way. As a first-person narrator she says, for instance, that she didn't think of herself as a poor child because her bowl was always full.

In the excerpt, she seems to wish to convey that comfortable simplicity. The smell of food combined with her father leaving to work and the door being locked evoke a sensation of safety, the belief that everything is and will always be just fine.

Read the sentence.
Kay [80]

Answer:

C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction)

Explanation:

Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision.

Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own.

On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction.

In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the

trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and".

So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause".

However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".

In one hundred words or more, connect your experiences at school to Panchito's experiences.
jonny [76]

Answer:

"The Circuit" by author Francisco Jimenez, tells the story of Panchito and his experiences on a new country, having to deal with learning a second language and adapting to a new culture and environment. Even if you had not been in a similar situation as Panchito, you could connect his stories to your personal experiences at school in many ways. Maybe, the first classes of spanish or french were difficult to you as you could not understand all the words the teacher was saying, but as you were learning things were easier for you. Or you can connect Panchito's experiences by writing about that time in school you were not afraid of asking for help when you had to deal with a difficult situation.
