from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad "Do you see the story? Do you see anything? It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dre

am -- making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams. . . ." He was silent for a while. ". . . No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence -- that which makes its truth, its meaning -- its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream -- alone. . . ." What is the best way to summarize the central claim made in this passage? A) Nobody can really understand anyone else's story, because nobody knows what is really like to see from another's perspective. B) Life is like dreaming, and sometimes it is hard to tell where the one begins and the other ends. C) Dreams are weird and mysterious, and will never really be understood. D) One person's dreams could easily be another person's reality, and vice versa.

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

In this passage, the author is trying to convey the idea that personal experiences are hard to convey -just like dreams- because it is difficult to make the other person understand the perspective from which we experienced them.

This means that no one can trully understand other people's stories, since we do not have the necessary insight to see it from their point of view.

Write a summary of " Tribal Nations: Climate Change Threatens Traditional Ways of Life." Include the central idea and the main s
Leokris [45]
In Alaska, Maine, the Pacific Northwest, and other coastal locations, erosion and inundation related to climate change are so severe that some communities are already relocating from historical homelands to which their traditions and cultural identities are tied. Subsequentshifts from Traditional lifestyles and diet - compounded by persistent poverty, food insecurity, the cost of non-traditional foods, and poor housing conditions - have led to increasing health problems in native communities. A key uncertainty is how indigenous people will adapt to climate change, given their reliance on local, wild foods and the geographic isolation of some communities. In the longer term, there is increasing risk of species extinction, which could be particularly devastating to native communities reliant on specific for food, medince, and ceremonies.

Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school, dad gave us our lunches before we left.
monitta
<span>The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

</span><span>Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school is a prepositional phrase modifying gave. or dad. or something. but you don't need to know that and i'm stupid so let's move on.

Before we left is also a prepositional phrase. I'm still stupid so let's move on.

The subject is dad, verb is gave, and the direct object is lunches because it's what dad gave, it's the receiver of the action.
The indirect object is us because it's whom received th</span>e verb. Or something. I'm still stupid.

Yes as a matter fact it can, social media can ruin your social skills if you are on it too much. It can cause mental health issues such as; depression, social anxiety, de realization disorder, and more.
With social media weather you’re an influencer or a viewer, you can start lacking physical communication and you lose social skills.

I hope this is good enough I’m only in 7th grade:)
