Answer:

1a. The Warden did not care much about Zero running away from the camp.  Instead of caring for the safety of Zero, he together with the other officials, decided to erase the records of Zero.  He thought he would be taken care of by the venomous lizards.

1b. Mr. Pendanski, the camp director, said that Zero would be digging holes all his life.  This was not fair.  By such a statement, Mr. Pendanski would be condemning Zero to a life of continued imprisonment and punishment.  The camp was instead meant to be a youth correctional centre and not a maximum-security prison.  Mr. Pendanski should have remained focused on his job.  After all, he was not the judge that committed Zero to a time in the camp.

2a. Stanley took life-threatening risks.  He could be killed by the venomous lizards.  He could have his stay extended indefinitely for trying to escape, even though he later returned with Zero.  He could have died of hunger and thirst.  After all, there was no food in the mountain, except the onions he and Zero found there.

2b. Stanley could have left the authorities to handle Zero's disappearance.  But, friendship could not allow him to leave the matter to the authorities due to their lackadaisical attitude to Zero.  There was certainly nothing else he could have done, but to go and find Zero.  Going to look for Zero brought about the revocation of the family curse, which made Zero confess to the stealing, for which Stanley was falsely imprisoned.  It also enabled Stanley and Zero to eat enough onions which prevented the lizards from eating them, and they were able to dig out the treasure papers hidden by Kissin' Kate Barlow.

2c.  When Zero ran away, I would also escape to "go and look for Zero."  He holds the key to the whole puzzle, at least in hindsight.  Friendship demanded such a move.

Explanation:

The "Holes" was written by Louis Sachar in 1998 as an adolescent novel.  The novel had as its main protagonist an unlucky teenage boy named Stanley Yelnats, who was sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile corrections facility in a desert in Texas.  Stanley was falsely accused of theft.  The plot explored Texas' history and how the actions of several characters influenced Stanley's life.

The stories told in the novel revealed themes such as racism, homelessness, illiteracy, false imprisonment, demeaning punishment by prison officials, and arranged marriage.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

10- Oxymoron

The words "safety" and "hazard" are right by each other and those are complete opposites so that is an oxymoron.

11- alliteration

The use of the b's at the beginning of a lot of the words is alliteration because it is the repetition of a similar sound at the beginning of the word. The only other one that it could be is consonance because consonance also repeats a sound, but only consonants and it is usually at the end of the word. Even though b is a consonant, I don't think it is consonance because the repetition appears at the beginning of the word.

12- Anaphora

This is anaphora because the word "singing" is being repeated in most of the clauses in order to place emphasis on it.

Which title is capitalized correctly?
ivolga24 [154]
Journey to the Center of the Earth is the correct answer because it capatalizes the most important words in the title. Words like and, to, the, etc have to be lower cased.
Hope this helped!

What is the best resolution for the narrative?
N76 [4]

TEXT: The following is a student draft. It may contain errors.

Two weeks before I started high school, my mother announced we would be moving . . . to an entirely different city, halfway across the country! Needless to say, I was horrified. I had already arranged for a way to avoid taking the bus carpooling with my friend Kwe and had signed up for all my classes and extracurricular activities. I was certain this new school wouldn't have nearly as many options, and I knew there was no way I was going to be able to set up a new carpool with only a few days to meet new people.

I would be moving away. I wondered, what would this new city be like; what would the people be like; what would people do with their time? I just couldn't fathom a life outside of the one I knew and so I began to worry about whether I would be able to fit in.

These were the thoughts that haunted me for the next fourteen days, as we packed all our possessions and loaded them into the moving truck; as we drove two thousand miles across the country; as we settled into our new apartment; and then, as I stood staring at the massive glass doors that led into the new school I would begin the next day. But as I stood there, hesitant to take another step into this unknown world, I realized something: things are never as bad as I think they will be.

Answer:

A.

And so, I decided to stop worrying and start looking forward to the adventure that awaited me.

Explanation:

According to the given narrative, the author talks about his horror at finding out from his mother that they would be moving to a new city. He was terrified about whether he would fit in and if he would be able to make new friends at his new school. He thought and pondered about this for the next fourteen days, but when they finally moved, he found out things were not as bad as he thought.

Therefore, the best resolution for the narrative is "And so, I decided to stop worrying and start looking forward to the adventure that awaited me."
