I watched the ospreys hunting over the lake behind the house. One by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish swimming too clo

se to the surface and then dive into the lake when they'd selected their victim. Not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life, only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise. Which best describes the author's feelings about the birds? She admires them and sees them as powerful and agile. She dislikes them and sees them as predatory and heartless. She dismisses them and sees them as irrelevant and unimportant. She pities them and sees them as animals struggling to survive.

Answer:

D - She pities them and sees them as animals struggling to survive.

Explanation:

"One by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish..."

"Not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise...."

She pities them. She understands that they are animals fighting and struggling to survive, but pities the situation of something, someone, putting and end to your life just like that. In that moment the fish is being hunted, but something else could hunt the ospreys. It would be the same situation.

Answer:

b.) she dislikes them and sees them as predatory and heartless.

Explanation:

in the given passage, she sympathizes the fish, describing them as 'defenseless' and 'poor fish flailing and fighting for its life'. as well as describing the birds as predators by saying quote, 'when they'd selected their  victim'. this comes to show that <em>the author dislikes them (the birds) and sees them as predatory and heartless.</em>

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan's mother assures him that they aren't going to operate. In Winter Driving, Jesper pulls his car over, flexes his hands, and takes a few breaths.

Explanation:

Supporting Detail:

In Animals in the Zoo:

He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit

The public wasn't allowed to see them until Ryan's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy.

If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

In Winter Driving:

The snow was still falling, and he knew he definitely didn't want to get stuck sleeping in his car. He had come this far, and he was determined to make it all the way home.

In a group discussion, which sentence is most clearly challenging the credibility of a source?
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is C. Although Peterson's comments may have been valid at one time, his book is over 30 years old.


This sentence is challenging the credibility of Peterson's book because it is old. At one point, his arguments may have been correct, but this has certainly changed over time given that over 30 years have passed since he published his book. Now, there are newer opinions about the topic, so he isn't a credible source anymore.

ANTONII [103]
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven. When making this kind of claim, one has to support it with facts, e.g. artists make this or that percent of their income on concerts and commercials, which clearly proves that they don't depend on the money from CDs etc. The options A and B are not correct because they rely on "everyone knows", which is not true, and is also not supported with facts. The D option isn't correct because one doesn't need to know every artist personally to be able to make a claim based on facts.</span>
