Answer:

Hiya :) Feel free to edit and finish off.

Explanation:

Tick. Tick. Tick.

The breath catches in my throat. Oh no.

The sound of ticking fills my eardrums. It sounds like a clock, whirring away in my brain. I can almost imagine it, gold in colour, its cogs different shapes and each one spinning at a unique speed. Each tick sends a jolt of panic down my spine.

No, no it's not real. It's fine. I'm just imagining it. It's not real.

"Naomi, can you hear that?"

"Hear what?" I say, holding my breath. I forgot she was there.

"That ticking." No. Oh no.

"What ticking?"

"That ticking noise, it's getting louder." Lara's staring at me. She always does that. She stares at your eyes, into your soul, and tries to work out how you really feel. I blink and look away making the swing creak slightly.

Before I could answer, a distant rumble draws our attention into the sky.

"What on earth-" Her voice trails away.

A large black mass appears, swirling in a violent greeting.

"What's happening?" I say though I know exactly what's going on. It's happening. It's happening again. No, not again.

The mass is expanding, growing a thousand shades darker in black every second.

"The ticking's coming from that cloud-" Lara murmurs, her hands shaking.

It's not a cloud. Doesn't she know anything?

I look down at my legs. Something's odd. Not the way they look, though the black tights and school shoes aren't exactly flattering. I'm slowly losing the feeling in both of them. I reach out and touch my right calf-and the deja vu suddenly hits me-it’s happening. It's happening again. I can’t move- oh no- it's happening-

"We better go home."

"We can't, Lara."

"What?"

"We can't."

She tosses her hair and glares at me. "Well, why not?"

I don't answer. Instead, I watch her struggle to get off the swing.

"I can't move! Help me, Naomi! I can't feel my legs-" She shrieks.

"I told you."

"Naomi, what's going on?"

I look up. The sky is black now.

"Are you ready?" I say, though my voice wobbles.

"For what? What are you-"

There's a far-off sound of a clock bell ringing. Then the darkness swallows us up and swoops us away.

(not finished!)

Which two sentences in this expert from President woodrow Wilson speech war message argue that offense is the best defense for A

Lesechka [4]

THIS ISN'T THE ANSWER, only adding on to the question. Excerpt: When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea.

It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be.

Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.

slega [8]

C The front of the house is elegant, but the back is in disrepair

Explanation:

In the Story "Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the house or home of Jekyll is described as wealth appearing this means that it is an elegant house in the front, but it is connected to the back of the house where the doctor has its laboratory which looks sinisters and in disrepair, so the front is elegant and the back is in disrepair.
