Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault line

s of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. What is the connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? something powerful and threatening something familiar and interesting something harmless and pleasant something amusing and impressive.

Answer: something powerful and threatening

Explanation:

A connotation is the meaning suggested by a word, including the emotions and associations that it comprises.

The literal definition of a fault line is a ground fracture caused by the movement of tectonic plates that could provoke an earthquake.

However, in this excerpt is used in its connotative meaning to describe the powerful and threatening wars and communist ideas that resembled a common enemy for different states, creating a feeling of national identity.

The story is called Whales: Giants In Danger by Andre Admas.

Answer:

The mechanisms used to produce sound vary from one family of cetaceans to another. Marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises, are much more dependent on sound for communication and sensation than are land mammals, because other senses are of limited effectiveness in water. Sight is less effective for marine mammals because of the particulate way in which the ocean scatters light. Smell is also limited, as molecules diffuse more slowly in water than in air, which makes smelling less effective. However, the speed of sound is roughly four times greater in water than in the atmosphere at sea level. As sea mammals are so dependent on hearing to communicate and feed, environmentalists and cetologists are concerned that they are being harmed by the increased ambient noise in the world's oceans caused by ships, sonar and marine seismic surveys.[2]

Here is what I wrote...

   The organizational structure of the story "Achieving your Goals" is in order of importance. The structure of the story was important to developing the author's point of view because it tells the reader in which order she though was least important to most important. You can tell that the organizational structure was order of importance because the author used transition words like "first of all, second of all, and m<span>ost importantly." The theme of this story is to not let anyone tell you that you can't pursue your dreams or reach your goals. For example, when the author said "...it seemed like everyone was telling me what I couldn't do" or when she said "...you should never give up just because someone says you can't accomplish your goal" she meant that if it is your dream, go for it and don't let anyone hold you back.

I haven't submitted the test yet so I don't know what I got yet, but I think this answer is right! Hope this helps!</span>
