Answer:

The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.

Explanation:

This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.  

A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route.  She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees.  She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.

The theme in the story is about humans versus nature.

<h3>What is a theme?</h3>

It should be noted that a theme simply means the main idea that is illustrated by the author in a literary work.

In this case, the theme in the story is about human versus nature, the limitations of individualism, and the cost of masculinity.

The objective summary is that a man is traveling through the great North American wilderness, in cold temperatures of seventy degrees below zero, with only his dog for a companion.

As he crosses a frozen stream, a misstep puts his foot through the ice. He knows he must find a way to build a fire to warm himself, or face death. The plot revolves around the man trying to survive in the cold.

The examples from the story that support your analysis of the theme are the man's attempts to survive in the bitter cold and the dog's easy abandonment of him. This nature's apathy is in response to human suffering.

The story's central theme is that man lives a solitary existence which is subject to the relentless, and unforgiving forces of nature; and it is man's goal to find meaning in his existence.

Answer:

Outlaw Halloween

Explanation:

Dear Mayor,

You cannot outlaw Halloween! Imagine all the votes you would lose. Everybody would hate you. I am asking you not to outlaw Halloween because everyone relies on Halloween. They think that Halloween keeps people happy. If you outlaw Halloween, then be ready to face the wrath of the whole town. Or the decrease in population. You will lose all the people that live in your town. If you hate Halloween that much then you can move to another town and leave our town alone. I hope youcondsider the consquenes of outlawing Halloween.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)

Hope it will help you in some measure!
