Read the paragraph. The tiny solar body that shares its name with a beloved Disney character, as well as being a part of our pla

netary vocabulary for over seventy years, is at the center of a discussion about how scientists define what a planet is. Although there is no concrete definition on which all astronomers agree, most believe a planet must orbit the sun and be large enough for gravity to force it into a sphere. By this definition, Pluto would be classified as a planet-the problem is, this definition also includes the multitude of other smaller bodies, like comets and asteroids, in our wide solar system. Which type of exposition is illustrated in this paragraph? Cause/Effect Contrast/Comparison Definition Classification/Division

Answer: Definition

The main topic in this passage is that of the definition of the concept of "planet." The passage states that there is still some debate about what exactly constitutes a planet. Therefore, it is not clear whether Pluto can be considered one or not, as some of its characteristics are shared with comets and asteroids.

Tuck Everlasting Power Paragraph Assignment
SOVA2 [1]


The relationship of the fosters and the tucks are almost completely opposite. The tucks have it harder financially whilst the fosters have it a bit easier . The tucks aren’t there enough to be able to parent their kids through certain moments but coming from experience and while watching the film , they learn better life experiences than the fosters could ever teach their kid. Being strict on a kid can definitely push a kid to their limits. Shown in the film, their daughter runs away because she can’t stand the way her parents treat her. The tucks live a playful and laid back lifestyle , but the fosters on the other hand live a strict day by day lifestyle. Whatever they deem not fit they don’t hesitate to change.

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation. The restaurant opens for business at seven o’clock, and for the next hour or so, Elisa a
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

I would say that the description of Elisa's daily routine supports the author's claim that the fast food industry seeks out teenage employees by providing anecdotal evidence of a teenage fast food employee living like an adult. <em>The correct answer is A.</em>

Explanation:

After reading this excerpt from <em>Fast Food Nation</em> where the author shows how is the daily routine of Elisa, we can picture how her life is like the one of an adult's, but she's only a teenager. She wakes up very early in the morning, she stands hours behind the counter, she comes and goes after the client's needs and, at the end of the day, her feet hurt, she feels tired as if she was an old person. Elisa has a full time job, it is not what she feels passionate about, and her body aches, and that supports the idea of the author that fast food industry seeks out teenage employees that end up living like adults. The author presents in this text anecdotal evidence for the main claim.

In this excerpt from song of myself, which literary device does Whitman use to address the sea?*picture*
ra1l [238]

In this excerpt from "Song of Myself", the literary device that Whitman uses to address the sea is (C.) apostrophe.

Apostrophe is a literary device that consists in speaking directly to an inanimate object or to someone that cannot answer.<u> In this excerpt from Whitman's poem, the speaker is talking to the sea as if it was real human being capable of understanding the way he feels</u> ("Cushion me soft, rock me in billowy drowse, Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you"). The use of apostrophe allows the poet to produce a more creative perspective and to develop a dramatic effect.
