The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint, by Joel Guthrie

Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains! Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat. Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects.

Answer:

Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Which word in the sentence is an adverb? That library book about aircraft likely includes many interesting pictures of planes. A
svlad2 [7]
The adverb of a sentence is a word that defines a verb. The main verb in this sentence is the word 'includes', so we are looking for the word that defines it, makes it more specific. So let's take a look at our answer choices:

A. includes

We know that includes is the verb of the sentence, so we can nix answer A right away.

B. likely

This word describes the way in which the pictures of planes were included, so this looks like a good candidate.

C. interesting

This word is an adjective defining the pictures, not the verb of the sentence, so we can scratch it off our choices

D. many

This is another adjective defining the amount of pictures there were, so we can also remove choice D from our list.

And we're left with answer choice B.
The word 'likely' is the adverb in the sentence.
Hope that helped! =)

Task 2: Spend 15 minutes on this task.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(edit) So sorry about the old answer, I didn't catch the part when you said to explain how the writing engages the readers into it. The writer has presented this is a way that engages the readers by putting in all 5 senses, such as "straining to hear the volcano", "sulphurous stench", etc etc. He has also provided extremely descriptive language, and some figurative language as well. He vividly describes whats going on, and it's like you're right there when it's happening. He even includes dialouge, and writes it in 'first person', which is a great way to let the readers imagine what's going on as if they were there. Hope this helps!

summarize "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano." Include the central ideas and supporting details you ident
Elodia [21]

Equiano begins his first-person narrative by including several letters that attest to both the veracity of his text and his good character. He then proceeds to his narrative.

He was born in the Eboe province of Africa, and provides cultural detail on those people. While young children, he and his sister were seized by kidnappers and sold to slave traders. After being brought across Africa to the coast, he was sent to the West Indies via the horrific Middle Passage. 

He was purchased quickly enough by Michael Henry Pascal, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Pascal had intended him as a gift for friends in London, but instead kept Equiano as an aid towards his naval endeavors during the Seven Years’ War. During this time, Equiano heard about the Christian God and started learning to read and write. Through his ability at sea, he became indispensable to Pascal and became accustomed to his situation.
