(1) Coral reefs are underwater habitats made from limestone secreted by coral. (2) These rich ecosystems are formed when coral p

olyps, which are tiny animals living in colonies, die and leave behind a branched, stony material. (3) The reefs made from this material provide a home to many animals including sponges, sharks, eels, jellyfish, anemones, sea stars, shrimp, and turtles. (4) Some of these animals are on endangered lists, and marine biologists are struggling to help them thrive.
(5) Unfortunately, many coral reefs are dying. (6) Threats to the reefs include water pollution from sewage and agricultural waste, dredging of the ocean floor near the coast, or collecting of coral in a careless manner. (7) In addition, man-made projects can deprive coral reefs of light, which they need to survive. (8) Projects related to mining or construction can cloud the waters which blocks the light and kills coral. (9) Finally, global warming has damaged a lot of reefs in the world. (10) Even a one-degree change can cause the degradation of a reef.

What does the author use to support the central idea in the second paragraph?

A. personal experiences that illustrate the endangered status of the reefs
B. examples of activities and phenomena that are harmful to coral reefs
C. interviews with marine biologists about the future of coral reefs

Despite his antisocial behavior, Silas is an openhearted, deeply kind and honest person. Nowhere in the novel does Silas do or say anything malicious nor is her selfish. Silas’s has an awkward love of money is merely the product of spiritual destruction, yet he has a hidden bottle of love that is expressed when he begins to raise Eppie. He is physically powerful and carries an enjoyable presence, Godfrey is overall very passive. Actually, he is similar to Silas. However, Godfrey’s passivity is quite noticeably different from Silas', as his endless indecisiveness based entirely from selfishness. Godfrey is constantly targeted to constant blackmail from Dunsey, who has knowledge of Godfrey’s hidden secretive marriage, which later Godfrey is freed of his malicious brother's antics by an accident due to Molly slipping up and spilling the details of the marriage. Even Godfrey’s confessions is a bit late as it comes years too late and once he was finally up to care for Eppie, she'd had a new father which was Silas. Nancy, whom is quite iffy and questionable thought out to me, lives her life based on code of behavioral beliefs. She has already decided how she feels about every thing in her life, not completely on the basis of any such reason, but because anything else is weak and fragile in her eyes. When Nancy was younger, this “code” of hers quite hugely says that she and her sister must dress alike on formal dinners, balls, weddings and such. When she is older, Nancy’s code says it's an absolute no for her to adopt a child since in her mind an action of the sorts is like a defiance of God’s plan. Nancy is not well educated or interested in much, Nancy is, however, a true kind and caring person, based off her willing to forgive Godfrey after his confession, which I still think is because God wont allow you into Heaven if you do not forgive all those whom have sinned against you.

Which sentences are written in passive voice?
Lorico [155]

Answer: Sentences 2, 4 and 5 are written in passive voice.

Explanation:

We use passive voice when we want to put an emphasis on the action and the object, rather than subject. In other words, subject is either insignificant in that particular case, or we do not know who/what the subject is. The object from the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

For example, active sentence is: <em>One of my favorite authors wrote </em><em><u>that book</u></em>, while passive sentence is: <em><u>That book</u></em><em> was written by one of my favorite authors</em>.

We form passive from the auxiliary verb (often verb <em>to be</em>) and past participle.

Who is Joseph Campbell
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

joseph campbell

Explanation:

Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College who worked in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work covers many aspects of the human experience. Campbell's most well-known work is his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero shared by world mythologies, termed the monomyth.

Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell's theories have been applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists. His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss."[6] He gained recognition in Hollywood when George Lucas credited Campbell's work as influencing his Star Wars saga.[7]

Campbell's approach to folklore topics such as myth and his influence on popular culture has been the subject of criticism, including from folklorists, academics in folklore studies.
