Answer: C

Explanation: If you read the excerpt the character is in a very difficult situation. He is swimming in high waters and as “he stroke” or swam with his arms he was becoming more slow due to all the physical effort he is putting into. Each kick in the water caused an enormous tension on his ankles. “Emphasized” here refers to “put stress on” because the other options don’t have anything to do with the situation. “Took note of” would mean he knows he’s hurting physically but will ignore the pain, “gave ease to” would mean he would find relief and “used strength for” would mean he’s putting all the strength he’s got to the pain or the ankle.

The sentence should be clear like this: “He recognized that his stroke was slowing as each agonizing kick in the water put stress on his throbbing pain to his ankle”

In two to three sentences, describe one advanced search strategy and how it is useful.
Blizzard [7]
Boolean searching:

Most searches will return too many or too few records. It takes a long time to look at hundreds of records. By putting a little effort into constructing search strings (what you type into the search box) you can save a lot of time. The database can do a lot of work for you if you take the trouble to add a little sophistication to your search strings.

To do this with databases you need to know about the Boolean system. By the use of a few simple linking words, called operators, you can make your searches much more precise.

Write a story that ends with the expression, it pays to be kind to strangers​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Once upon a time there were two girls Lilly and Sharon. They were walking down the street together. While they were walking by they saw a homeless man sitting out on a cardboard box. Seeing him, and feeling bad for a man that's been turned out to the street, Lilly and Sharon immediately started emptying out their pockets for spare change to give the man. He thanked them and asked where they lived. Dangerous as it was, Lilly told him that if he wanted to see them sometime, to come to the stream. After that, the two girls quickly went on their way. Two days later, they got a knock on their door, and when they opened it, what a suprise they got! Standing there was the same homeless man they had helped out on the street two days ago, looking really grand! The man explained that he was not really homeless, and that he wanted to carry out an experiment to see if people would help a black man out on the street. The man also said he'd be giving 10,000 dollars to the people that had helped them to thank them. The two girls were shocked! They collected the money from him and thanked him. It always pays to be kind to strangers, you never know what they are going through.

Explanation:

Not only should you be kind to strangers, you should also be kind to others. You never know what strangers are going through, or how hard their life is, and that goes the same for anybody else out there, so it really helps make it better if you are kind to them.
