Answer:

The best option is C) by clearly explaining the reasons for the misleading alarm and its impact.

Explanation:

This excerpt of "The Great Fire" has a cause-and-effect structure which helps readers understand why there was an ineffective response by firefighters. We are told that one man, Schaffer, made the first mistake by striking a different box than would be best. He, however, realized that was not the proper one, and finally ordered box 319 to be struck. The second mistake, then, comes from Schaffer's assistant, William. He chooses not to do as he is told, even though the order came from his superior. His arrogance confuses firefighters, since he strikes the wrong box. The consequence was that the fire was not properly fought, burning on for several deadly minutes since companies didn't know what to do.

Which statement BEST describes what is shown in the chart in "Year-Round School"? There are more school days in the current cale

Wewaii [24]

Hello. You forgot to put the graph to which this question refers. The graph is in the attached image.

Answer:

The vacation days are more evenly spread out in the year-round calendar.

Explanation:

As you can see, the clear parts of the graph represent the holidays that are provided to students. The second graph that represents the year-round calendar presents these clear parts in a more balanced and better distributed in relation to how these parts are presented in the first graph. In that case, we managed to realize that the year-round calendar. presents the vacation period in a more distributed and harmonious way.

Choose the term that describes the type of sentence shown. If you are in line early, you’ll be sure to get the best tickets. A.

Anarel [89]

Answer: B. complex.

Explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own (as opposed to a dependent clause).

Compound sentences, on the other hand, must contain at least two independent clauses. Simple sentence is a sentence which contains only one clause.

The sentence: 'If you are in line early, you’ll be sure to get the best tickets' is a complex sentence, as it contains a dependent clause 'If you are in line early' and an independent clause 'you’ll be sure to get the best tickets.'

There is also a subordinating conjunction 'if', which links a dependent clause to an independent clause.

A business with two locations buys seven large

omeli [17]

Answer: price of a large van = $35000

price of a small van = $30000

Explanation:

Let the price of a large van = x

Let the price of a small van = y

Since A receives 5 large vans and 2 small vans for a total cost of $235,000. Location B receives 2 large vans and 3

small vans for a total cost of $160,000. This can be written as:

5x + 2y = 235000 ........ i

2x + 3y = 160000 ........ ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 5

10x + 4y = 470000 ..... iii

10x + 15y = 800000 ..... iv

Subtract iii from iv

11y = 330,000

y = 330000/11.

y = 30,000

From equation I,

5x + 2y = 235000

5x + 2(30000) = 235000

5x + 60000 = 235000

5x = 235000 - 60000

5x = 175000

x = 175000 / 5

x = 35000

Therefore, price of a large van = 35000

price of a small van = 30000
