Answer: Choice A
Choice A goes over a negative aspect about wild animals, while choice B talks about a slight positive aspect in that certain animals can be kept as pets. The two don't really fit together.
In other words, choice A is saying "don't get a wild animal as a pet" while choice B does the opposite (more or less).
While it is true that you can keep some animals as pets, it's not a good idea as choice A mentions. Also, there's the fact that the animal may attack you or people you know if the animal is provoked (even then wild animals can attack seemingly at random). Lastly, there's the fact that wild animals prefer living outside with lots of room to roam around. They don't like being caged up and need to have a specific habitat and diet. All of these facts lean toward having wild animals as pets is a bad idea. This is especially true for large animals in which you'll need more resources to take care of them. A zoo is better equipped to handle the animals.
Have you ever felt like you were living a boring, ordinary life? Well, in the book Henry Huggins, the main character, Henry, feels the same way! That is, until he finds and rescues a stray dog. Then, his life takes an exciting turn for the better.
When Henry finds him, the dog is so skinny that his ribs are sticking out. That's why Henry decides to name the dog Ribsy. Henry and Ribsy become best friends, and go through many adventures in the book. Just a few of the adventures include, sneaking Ribsy onto a bus (where there are no dogs allowed!); attempting to get out of having to participate in a school play; and trying to save up money for a lost football. Henry has to overcome a problem when a boy comes to his neighborhood and says Ribsy is his dog! Henry and the boy decide to let Ribsy decide which boy is his real owner, and you will be glad to know that Ribsy chooses Henry!
A word to stand on its own would be a word that is a sentence on its own.
Words Like This Are: And, Eat, Play most adjectives. Because if your friend asked you what you wanted to do you would simply say "Play." or "Read." or such thing as your name can be a word to stand on its own. If you meet a new person and they introduce themselves and ask for your name, typically you are to say "Bob." or "John." or whatever you name might be.
Hope it helped.

Answer:
C. something that can be molded or shaped
Explanation:
Emerson's essay "Self-Reliance" mostly deals with individualism and the relationship of a non-conformist individual to the society that forces an individual to conform.
Basically, whene Emerson states that "society isn't the measure of all things" he suggests that people should follow their inner voice, follow their heart and instincts, rather than do what society expects them to do, depriving themselves of every spontaneity.
In paragraph 2, he states that people should be "...pious aspirants to be
noble clay plastic under the Almighty effort...".
That basically means that every man should mold their own life from the clay that was given to him and not merely take a shape of whatever society wants him to take, refusing his individuality by doing so.

Mickey Shea was drunk and hurting Eddie's mother. His father's initial reaction was to kill Mickey; however, when Mickey fell into the ocean Eddie's father jumped in after him and saved his life. It was because of this night that Eddie's father caught the pneumonia that later killed him.
