Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but you were out voted by the re

st of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. Which statement best describes the purpose of the first sentence in this paragraph?
A.The writer just wants to capture the reader's attention by mentioning foods that are popular with teens.
B.The writer is introducing an idea by comparing it to a situation most people would understand or experience.
C.The writer explains that just because you are in a family or community doesn't mean you can control the group.
D.The writer is trying to help you understand that voting is a long, complex process that affects many other people.

Answer:

B. The writer is introducing an idea by comparing it to a situation most people would understand or experience.

Explanation: We can tell that the writer is using the first sentence to introduce an idea by comparing it to a situation that most people would understand because that sentence is followed by the statement that, “This is similar to what happens in a community.” The writer explicitly states that the situation outlined in the first sentence is “similar” to what happens in a community. The rest of the paragraph is the writer elaborating on that statement and drawing attention to the shared concept between the two situations of sacrifice for the will of the majority.

Dominik [7]
An unintentional injury is an injury inflicted upon a person without the suspect's purpose of a motive whereas intentional is the opposite and the suspect has a motive behind the injury.

Intentional: Mark decides to get revenge on Matt for flirting with his girlfriend. He picks up the golf putter at their nightly outting of Go-Go Golf and smacks the metal end down on Matt's collarbone. The force cracks his collarbone.

Unintentional: Maria is driving but is slightly under the influence. She sees a man crossing the road in the middle of the night and attempts to swerve out of the way. She clips his calves and heels, causing burns/lacerations on his legs, but he is otherwise okay.

Anne frank figurative Language
GuDViN [60]
The personification is: “deathly oppressive silence hangs over the house and clings to me as if it were going to drag me into the deepest regions of the underworld”
The extended metaphor is the line from “I wonder from room to room” to “a voice within me cries”, so the last 7 lines (sorry I didn’t feel like writing the quote out).
Anne is forced to stay in the house/attic every day to avoid being discovered. The attic itself is cramped and stuffy, especially with the 8 other people living there. She feels like a caged animal (a caged songbird in this case) because she is never allowed into the outside world.
