We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over

an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.
Read this line from the text: It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste.

What does this line suggest about the narrator?

The narrator likes lots of frosting.
The narrator thinks about different kinds of soil. *I was thinking it was this one?
The narrator prefers sand to mud.
The narrator has been thinking a lot about food.

Answer: The narrator likes lots of frosting

Explanation: In the line provided, the narrator prefers to have more frosting on their cake.  In that line, only that line, the narrator is talking only and specifically about cake.  It is not D, the narrator has been thinking a lot about food.  If they are thinking about food, what kind of food?  If they prefer sand to mud, that is not right.  How would the narrator be thinking about different kinds of soil if he or she is talking about cake?

The main point or way to find the answer is to look at what the line is.  The line is specifically what the narrator is talking about.  The whole story could be about sand, but that line itself is talking about cake and the amount of frosting needed.

What are five main plot elements in a typical plot? Briefly describe what each elements function is.
shtirl [24]

CHARACTERS

The characters are the individuals that the story is about. The author should introduce the characters in the story with enough information that the reader can visualize each person. This is achieved by providing detailed descriptions of a character’s physical attributes and personality traits.

Every story should have a main character. The main character determines the way the plot will develop and is usually who will solve the problem the story centers upon. However, the other characters are also very important because they supply additional details, explanations, or actions. All characters should stay true to the author’s descriptions throughout the story so that the reader can understand and believe the action that is taking place—and perhaps even predict which character may do what next.

SETTING

The setting is the location of the action. An author should describe the environment or surroundings of the story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can picture the scene. Unusual settings (such as a fantasy world) can be interesting, but everyday settings can help a reader to better visualize the story and feel connected to the plot!

PLOT

The plot is the actual story around which the entire book is based. A plot should have a very clear beginning, middle, and end—with all the necessary descriptions and suspense, called exposition—so that the reader can make sense of the action and follow along from start to finish.

CONFLICT

Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this conflict and the ways in which the characters attempt to resolve the problem. When the story’s action becomes most exciting, right before the resolution, it is called the climax.

RESOLUTION

The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved. For example, Katie often resolves a conflict by finding a compromise for two fighting characters or helping fix any mistakes she made while switcherooed into someone else. It is important that the resolution fit he rest of the story in tone and creativity and solve all parts of the conflict.

Should “free speech” mean you can say anything to anyone? Give an example of when that attitude would be dangerous or a bad idea
yulyashka [42]

Explanation:

I would say that yes it could mean that you could say anything to anyone but it can be bad to say mean things to people because you don't agree with them or because of their beliefs, identification or even race. so be kind!

Triss [41]

Answer:

When they go to bed and what makes them stay up late

Explanation:

She would most likely need to know what time they go to bed because that could be a large factor in when they sleep. If they go to bed at 9 pm, then they wouldn't really benefit from a later sleep because they only get a few hours of sleep even if school started later. Meanwhile students who go to bed later would certainly benefit from the earlier start time.

Also she would need to know why they go to sleep late. For example, homework makes them stay up late because they need to finish their assignments, work on projects, study, etc. Another example is after school activities, students could arrive home late due to sports and have to eat dinner right as they come back, forcing them to do work late at night.
