Answer:
A direct specific meaning as distinct from an implied or associated idea comparing a word's denotation with its connotations. Angry and agitated have different denotations. (Angry means full of anger, agitated means stirred up. A person could be agitated because it's their wedding and they are worried things might not go well, but they are not angry). Try looney as opposed to mentally disturbed. Or lazy as opposed to reflective. Or sensitive as opposed to whiny.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
Only the biography states their father was a minister.
From the third line of the biography, the second sentence started with explicitly saying that their father was a minister. A fact which isn't mentioned anywhere in the extracted memoir. The memoir gave a much more different insight and even personal perspective to how both brothers lived. But it never stated the occupation of their father beyond he being their father
Answer: I do not believe homework has value.
Explanation:
I do not believe homework has value. Homework promotes negative emotion like stress, lack of self worth, and strain in the home.
Most kids in the United States have homework after school. Every day, children work 6-9 hours at school learning, just to come home and do more work. We all know how much kids need their sleep, so what happens to kids in sports? Or kids who need family time? Or just a break? This causes lots of stress on children.
Another reason I do not believe in homework is because if kids are trying very hard in school, why bother give them more work? I feel it is a bit different if a kid is really struggling in classes, but I feel that a teacher should then take initiative to help the kid rather than pile on more work.
Homework can cause strain in the home. In my personal experiences, my parents get frusterated when I have lots of homework to do because they want to spend time with me. If I skip homework, I’ll get in trouble for getting a poor grade. If I don’t skip homework, my parents will be frustrated that I cannot spend time with them. This can cause lots of strain in the home and add even more stress to the kids environment!
Overall, I believe homework does not do any good for kids. I think it is very harmful and stress inducing.
