This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

Please complete this activity with the directions below. After you complete the activity, write 10-15 sentences describing what you did during the exercise, how you felt after the activity, any difficulties experienced, and what you enjoyed about the exercise. Did you feel the exercise helped you with any aspect of your stress? Why or why not.

ACTIVITY:

When you are feeling stressed, it is common to carry the stress in the physical body: tense shoulders, knots in your stomach, headaches, etc. Using a body scan with deep breathing is an extremely helpful method for reducing physical stress and muscular tension in the body.

Sit in a comfortable place and fully relax your body. Let your breathing slow down, and allow your breath to develop naturally for a few moments. Be aware of each inhale and exhale and let your breath stem from your belly instead of from your chest.

Starting from the top of your body with your head: notice any tension you're feeling or where you are experiencing an ache. What do you feel? Tightness? Pain? A feeling of concentrated 'energy' around a certain area? Focus on this area for a minute (or longer if this is where you carry your stress).

Focus your breath into the area (of your head) where you are experiencing discomfort, tension, or energy. If you notice any uncomfortable sensations, focus on them. Breathe into them, and notice what happens. The feeling may become more intense at first. Keep your focus on the area and the breath and the feeling will become less intense. Stay aware on that feeling for a few moments and just staying present. You can physically rub or massage the area that is feeling the most affected by this exercise.

Continue this same exercise on the rest of your body: the neck, upper back, shoulders, lower back, stomach, arms and legs, hands and feet: spend the most time of the area that you physically carry the most tension or symptoms of physical stress."

Answer:

For this exercise, I decided to sit down on the couch. I allowed my breathing to slow down, trying to become aware of each inhalation and exhalation. Practicing belly breathing instead of chest breathing was a surprising challenge, but I think I manage to do it right. Then, I scanned each area of my body, focusing on any discomfort. As I noticed a lot of tension on my shoulders, I decided to focus on that area the most.  

Explanation:

After the activity, I felt very relaxed. Furthermore, the shoulder pain had been reduced. I also felt a little sleepy.

Probably the biggest challenge was staying present. It´s difficult to avoid disturbing thoughts and interruptions. However, I did enjoy giving my self a moment to work on stress relief. Not only it helped me to be a little bit more relaxed, but it also made me aware of the importance of actively working on my mental health.

In "To a Poor Old Woman," which symbolic importance or meaning do the plums take on?
storchak [24]

In "To a Poor Old Woman," the plums represent the simple joys of life, which are available to anyone.

In this poem, the narrator observes a “poor old woman” eating plums from a paper bag, which makes him think about its taste. He knows that plumps are not really expensive neither extraordinary, and that's why he supposes that the woman is poor, since she seems not to have eaten plums in a long time.

This represents a joy of life for her, while for other people it's something normal.

Question 1

The correct answer is d.

The possessive nouns are nouns that we use to express that a person or an object belongs to someone or something. We usually make them by adding apostrophe ('s) on the noun itself:

<em>boy's</em>

<em>mum's</em>

<em>Kate's</em>

In this particular case, we can notice that the sentence d. My dream is that one day my garden will be just as beautiful and productive as Sandy's! has a possessive noun and it is Sandy's.

SANDY (noun) + 'S = SANDY'S (possesive noun)

The other examples show the use of the possessive PRONOUNS.

a. Everything I know about gardening I learned from <u>my</u> good friend Sandy.

b. When she showed me <u>her</u> big, healthy, vegetable garden and offered me some gardening tips, I decided to listen hard.

c. Then she taught me how to cultivate rich and healthy soil and helped me identify which types of plants are best for the environment in <u>my</u> yard.

Question 2

The correct answer is c.

Proper nouns express a <u>unique person/object and become with capital letters</u>. All the other are<u> common nouns</u> (garden, soil, environment).

Question 3

The correct answer is c.

The present participle is the form we get when we add 'ing' to the verb.

<em>dig + ing = digging </em>

...as it appears in the example: A few weeks later, when I was digging up seeds that had not even sprouted yet, Sandy came over to introduce herself with a basket of fresh produce from her garden.
