<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"D) The destiny of the Kiowa people lay in their own hands".</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The "central idea" presented in the introduction of the "Way to rainy mountain" as suggested in the passage is that the destiny of the "Kiowa people" lay in their own hands. The Kiowa people are the mysterious kind of the people known as the "tribe of the hunters" who came from the "mountains" of "western mountain". They are able to control the happenings in their life by choosing the place to live on this earth. Their "lifestyle" is different from that of others.

Good afternoon, today I am talking about my favorite subject. My favorite subject in school is either biology or math. I have reasons for liking and disliking each subject. I like biology because I have always been interested in the study of organisms. I also like biology because I do not have homework often which allows me to have free time for other activities. I also like math because it provides a challenge and also because biology, like all other science classes require knowing math. However I dislike math because I almost always have some type of homework.

I have always enjoyed classes like science because it gives me something to do. Meaning I am not just sitting at a desk reading a piece of paper. From when I first started school I have always excelled in science. I believe this is the case because sitting at a desk is perhaps the most boring thing I can do. In science we often have labs, which are basically experiments. So I get to move around and be active.

Math class is also another one of my favorites, I personally do not know why. I have always been told in that in order for science to take place there must be math, and vice versa. Because of this, I have always done my best and tried to understand the mess of equations. So slowly over time it has become easier to understand and I actually began to like doing it. It proved to be harder than the other class.

However I do not like to work for excessively long periods, or to have a lot of homework. This is a reason I like science and dislike math. In math you have homework basically everyday, including friday. However in science it is rare to have homework on any days, especially including the weekend.  

In math we often have homework and it isn't simple to do. For me it usually takes one to two hours to get done. So this takes up a majority of my time and doesn't allow me to have much free time. For example if school ends at 3:30 and some people ride the bus so they don't make it home until 4:00. During math homework for an hour means it is 5 o’clock when I am through with math. So if I have extra curricular classes or clubs it isn't until 5 o'clock when I make it home. And during the winter it starts to get dark around 4:30.

But, in science we rarely have homework so it allows me to have more free time. We do occasionally get homework but it isn't as hard as math. Also it isn't usually due the next day they are often done over a period of times.

So I have multiple reasons for liking and disliking each subject. If I had to choose a class to be my favorite I would choose biology, because it is easier for me to understand and has less work.

In what Fear can teach us by Karen Walker Which quote from the text best supports this answer: The sailors’ fear of cannibalism
uysha [10]

The  quote from the text that  best supports the answer is -To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land. These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men,

Explanation:

To be eaten by cannibals, to be battered by storms, to starve to death before reaching land. These were the fears that danced in the imaginations of these poor men.

By reading the above statement it is clear that the sailors fear that what  they chose to listen to would govern whether they lived or died.

In the year  1819  the crew of the whaleship Essex drifted in the middle of the Pacific. The ship was capsized for 24 hours and now it was the time to take a decision ,to make a plan but they had very few options. The narrator  Nathaniel Philbrick wrote that these men were just about as far from land as it was possible to be anywhere on Earth.

The nearest islands they could reach were the Marquesas Islands which was about  1,200 miles away from the ships position but then they have heard some frightening rumors about the island  populated by cannibals. Another option was  Hawaii, but  the captain was afraid they’d be struck by severe storms. Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult: to sail 1,500 miles due south in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the coast of South America.

Read the poem “The Purple Cow,” by Gelett Burgess. The Purple Cow (Reflections on a Mythic Beast Who's Quite Remarkable, at Leas
astraxan [27]
Well, I think, the main point that makes the difference between "Mending Wall" and   “The Purple Cow”  is actually demonstrated by the rhyme. Just read each poem one more time and feel that one of them is readed easily, words matched with each other like a song's lyrics so that you can smoothly go on reading whereas  "Mending Wall" is made with structure of blank verse that emphasises every line and makes reader feel it deeply.
