For years, women’s professional golf was all but ignored. Women’s tournaments received very little attention in the sports pages

, but all that is changing. Golfers like Michelle Wie are becoming almost as well-known as Jordan Spieth. The ESPN television channel covers major women’s tournaments. Most impressive of all, the winnings on the women’s tour are getting downright hefty. Top money for the recent Founders Cup in Phoenix, Arizona,was $225,000. Who is Michelle Wie? What does the word hefty refer to? The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Loudon and Augusta counties beginning at 7:00 P.M., EST, Friday, December 12, through 3:00 A.M., EST, Sunday, December 14. Snowfall of between 4 and 8 inches is predicted. School closings will be announced on Channel 10 through the evening. How much snow is the storm likely to produce? What do you think EST stands for?

Michelle Wie is a woman's professional Golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour and was born in Honolulu, HI on October 11, 1989 and turned professional just before her 16th birthday who after that attended Stanford University and also Punahou School.  
The word hefty in the paragraph above are referring to the payout's received by the winners of the women's tour which in Phoenix, AZ for the Founders Cup was as high as $225,000.  
There has been an issued winter storm warning for the counties of Loudon and Augusta December 12th from 7:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time to December 14th 3:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time of roughly 4 to 8 inches and some schools will be closing which will be announced on Channel 10 during the evening hours.  
There are different time zones in America that separate the different regions of the United States in order for public broadcasts to explain the region of the time for all to understand and calculate its own time at that given time and one example is the EST, which stands for Eastern Standard Time zone, as well as other zones such as AST, CST, MST, PST, AKST, HST and UTC-11.

Michelle Wie is a professional golfer.

You can infer that hefty means a great deal, as in a lot of money for winning a golf tournament.

The storm is likely to produce 4 to 8 inches of snow.

EST stands for Eastern Standard Time.

Plssssssss help me!!Question 19 (Essay Worth 5 points)
elixir [45]

Answer:

The main message of this passage is that even though we might feel like there is silence, there is always our thoughts that aren't quiet.

Explanation:

When Jack London explains the setting as " the lone and silent land," it shows that there is really nothing that could cause harm to the character. As London goes on in the passage, he begins to describe " the hunting cries..." and how "they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs." This represents the thoughts of everyday people and the fear of the unknown. London then goes on to say " I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "They do get on the nerves horrible." These quotes represent the racing thoughts of the two characters, Bill and Henry, and how, even in the silence of the night, their thoughts are still heard loud and clear in their heads about the possible creatures that lurk in the dark.

What are possible purposes of Stowe’s use of dialect? Select all that apply.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

A.) to endear certain characters to us.

D.) to show characters’ educational levels.

Stowe's use of dialogue enriches the setting of the story in various ways. First of all, it makes the characters more realistic and endears certain characters to us. By representing their speech as it most likely sounded in real life, we feel like we get to know the characters better. This makes us care about them more deeply. Stowe also uses dialect in order to show the educational levels of the characters, as "standard" English is most likely to be used by characters who are literate and have received some education.
