Answer:

Aunt Polly was so angry with Tom because he had lied about "the prophecy", his dream where he saw them in his room and told them everything they had done as if he was there in spirit.

Explanation:

<em>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer</em> by Mark Twain tells the story of a young boy named Tom Sawyer and his experiences, looking for adventure. It also deals with the mischievousness of the main character, who lives with his aunt and half brother.

Chapter 18 shows the scene where Tom told his Aunt Polly about the dream he had seen of them worrying about him in his room, his bed, mourning. He had also seen<em> "Joe Harper's mother",</em> which was exactly true. he then began telling them everything he had seen them do that night. This made them believe that Tom had actually had a vision and seen them even though he wasn't really present at that time.

But Chapter 19 showed Tom being scolded by Aunt Polly because she had realized that whatever Tom had told about the "<em>vision</em>" was all a lie. Sereny Harper had told her that Joe had seen Tom watching them that night and had actually been there too, but faked the prophecy so as to escape the brunt of his Aunt's anger.

Change this sentence into reported speech
Blababa [14]

Answer:

<em>I thought to myself if I should tell them then or should i wait until they were in a better mood.</em>

Explanation:

During changing the speech of a sentence from direct to indirect, the present tense is changed into the past tense. Words such as now change to then. This is because, in the direct speech, a person is actually thinking or saying the words mentioned in the sentence. In an indirect speech, the person relates what he thought at a particular time or it is simply describing what other person said.

Explain in 1 paragraph why people need to be focused on their
dlinn [17]

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. you fall to the level of your systems" is one famous quote by James Clear on goals and systems.

Explanation:

People mainly talk about setting goals to achieve an objective, but setting goals does not necessarily lead to a success in achieving the objective. One might succeed in few goals that are laid out , but be unsuccessful in others.

The results that one gets, have very little to do with the goals, and everything with the system that one follows.

For example: the goal of a businessman would be, to be very successful in his business and  earn billions of dollars. But, he has to use the right system to do so.

Hiring the right kind of employee, the right advertisement campaigns etc is the system by which he can reach his goals. Thus, only setting goals should not be given priority, but priority should be given to the systems that help in achieving the goal.

What is a hypothesis and during which steps is it important?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

<em>A hypothesis is a testable, scientific statement</em> based upon limited evidence as a starting point in order for further investigation.

I assume when you ask <em>during which steps is it important</em> you mean the steps of the scientific method. Although it is important throughout the entire process, the most important would probably making a prediction. You cannot make a (good) prediction without a hypothesis. And without a prediction, you cannot test anything at all. You can't form a conclusion of any sorts.

So I would say it is most important when trying to form a prediction based on your hypothesis.
