Write an essay about an old desk in class​
mihalych1998 [28]

Student:        My desk sat in the back corner, it was tarnished and broken with chipped wood and old drawings from previous students, scribbled deep into the wood with pencils or needles. I felt bad for it.  The desk held me up on days I didn't want to be there. It supported my hard work. I wanted to thank it, I wanted to thank the tree that became the steed for so many students.

      I had an Idea, I want to start a refurbished desk drive. After school I would bring the idea up to my teacher, I would give the desks a fresh coat of paint and a big thanks for carrying students all day long, for years.  

       After receiving approval I would drive to home depot and pick up all the materials I would need.  I came to school sunday and got to work repainting and refinishing. I fixed wobbly legs and loose drawers. And finally I wrote notes for each desk and glued them to the underneath of the tables each saying thank you for everything you do.

Desk:           I was brought out of the class room I can't remember the last time I left that filth nest. Then a student began to take me apart; I guess it was my time to leave the world.

      But once I was apart I was not placed in a trash bin, I was sanded painted and given a nice shiny finish, the student even fixed my broken leg. They them put me back together and place a piece of paper on the underside of my table that said thank you. If a desk could cry I would have.  I think of that student every day when they sit on my chair I want to support them and all of their kindness.

Tyson has created many general questions to guide his research. What should he do next?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

D. Narrow his focus

Explanation:

In writing a research,a topic has to be selected first. This could be provided by a supervisor or the individual, on a topic he is interested in. After forming a topic, many general questions should be formed. This would provide a wide view from which to assess the topic.

Too many general questions ought to be further narrowed into more specific questions. It is important that the researcher chose a topic on which information could be found easily. This would make it easier for the questions to be easily narrowed and not too broad. He should also avoid open ended questions, that is yes or no questions, so as to make the information more meaningful.
