Hi!

<u>The answer to your question is A</u>. Nellie Bly's purpose in writing <em>10 Days in a Mad-house</em> <u>is to inform the reader about the conditions of the place</u>.

Nellie Bly was a daring journalist who actually pretended to be mentally insane to get into an asylum (The Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwells Island). <u>This was strictly done so that she could reveal the conditions of the place and how they treated patients</u>. According to her previous researches, Bly had found that asylums were in horrible conditions and treated their patients real badly, going as far as feeding rotten food to their patienrs. Because of this, she wanted to experience what it was like being on the inside with the goal of exposing the injustices going on inside and get help for the mentally ill.

Hope it helped!

I need some help with this SCP poem if anyone can decode this and explain that'd be greatly appreciated
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remember we are on the side

Of the angels; danger we condemn

However, we cannot hide

From the fact we are not them

I feel like this part means inherently we are good ( we walk on the side of angels) However despite our best efforts we are not angels and awe show that we are not by lying, cheating, stealing ect.

Often we must act the devil

And play along with sin

But remember too, we do not revel

In the suffering of our kin

So often in our lives we forget the goodness we have in us and we sin mainly we hurt ourselves.

5 compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions or conjunctive adverbs to join two complete sentences. For the compound sen
Olin [163]

Answer: 1. <u>Man</u> has <em><u>created</u></em> many inventions; yet, teleportation has not been possible.

2. <u>Rich people</u> <u><em>waste</em></u> a lot of money; meanwhile, poor people barely have food for the day.

3. <u>I</u> haven't <em><u>done</u></em> my laundry, nor washed the dishes.

4. Sometimes, <u>singers</u> <em><u>release</u></em> bad music since they have pressure from the record.

5. <u>My boyfriend</u> <em><u>lost</u></em> his wallet, so I had to pay for the food.

Explanation:

Independent clauses are complete clauses that can stand on their own, but when they are next to coordinating conjunctions or conjunctive adverbs, they form a compound sentence. These five examples have two independent clauses. For instance: "Rich people waste a lot of money" and "poor people barely have food for the day" make sense on their own; however, the conjunctive adverb "meanwhile" connects and contrasts them.

The Myth of Theseus: Hero and Adventurer - Section C Imaginative writing practice
vitfil [10]

Answer:

I don't know if this is a story that you make up, but here you go:

It was years later after Theseus became king. He was noble and wise; caring for his people with such wisdom and power. Everyone admired his cunning character. All except King Minos of Crete, who was outraged to have his daughter married to Theseus without his permission. Not only that, but his tribute over the death of his son hadn't been payed for years.

"I must find a way to kill of Theseus!" he muttered to himself one lonely afternoon. "And once I do, I could take over his land and rule it myself!"

The details played in his mind all night. At last, he ordered his soldiers ready for battle. Having hundreds of his best men onto large, wooden ships to take over the land for their king.

Theseus, as strong and wise he was, was not prepared for this. His people were screaming in the streets of the grand city. Children and women alike were slaughtered without mercy. Outraged, Theseus ordered his soldiers to help defend the city. He himself dressed up in armor to assist his warriors. For those who were not able to fight and had children, were ordered to take shelter in the castle.

Came the moment Theseus confronted King Minos, he demanded, "What is the meaning of this open rebellion?"

"I have come to take revenge on you for taking my daughter from me," King Minos announced. "She was my dearest treasure, and you have taken it from me. I demand she be send back to me."

"You don't deserve her," Theseus snapped.

Minos roared in sudden, raw rage. "Then I will have your head!"

The two kings lashed out. Battle around them was raging; the streets were in chaos. The war lasted for almost an entire day. Theseus and Minos had begun to battle near the rocky cliffs by the shore. They were tired and sore, yes. But neither of them were too keen on giving up fighting for what they cared for dearly. Theseus, however, had an advantage. Aside from his courage and wisdom, he was  much stronger and younger than King Minos. The wheels in his mind began to turn.

They were both near the edge of the cliff when Theseus spoke out: "Alas, there she is! In the water!"

Minos spun around, terrified for his daughter. But no, there was nothing there. Theseus kicked his foe with enough force and power to send King Minos over the edge, sending him to his death. With him now gone, the battle had ended. And there was no one else who dared face Theseus's wrath ever again.

THE END

All it takes is just a bit of creativity. I hope this helps :)
