The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Throughout the novel, the Civil Affairs unit wasn't based in Fallujah.

Birdy's unit is known as the Civil Affairs unit. They were sent on different assignments and tasks.

They were ordered to go to a village that was accidentally bombed by the U.S troop. They were to offer their sympathy and medical assistance.

Also, the unit was sent to a village called Ba'qubah. The village requested for medical treatment for their animals, but on getting there they find wounded children.

Morever, they went to a village that was near the Iran border. It's a dangerous place. They went to negotiate with the village leaders who thought that their children were captured by Badr fighters from Iran.

Also, the Civil Affairs unit were sent to a rest area that's kind of like a resort. They had food and drinks.

"Sunrise Over Fallujah" is story written by Walter Dean Myers. He was an author of children's books and was best known for authoring literature of young adults.

It's a story that shows Robin "Birdy" Perry, who was a new army recruit from Harlem. He wasn't quite sure of joining the army, but he was sure where he's headed: Iraq. The duty of Birdy and Civilian Affairs Battalion was to help secure and stabilize the country. They were to successfully interact with the Iraqi people.

Answer:

When you switch the places of "N" and the first "G" in the word "GINGER," and then undo the changes, you can spell "GINGER."
