"However, it was of no use, as I only seemed to be getting further and further away from the tree. EARNESTLY, I climbed off the

boat and, as a hungry shark, swam towards the island, resisting the bitter ice that clung onto me."
Is it safe to use the word "earnestly" or should I replace it with "impatiently", I feel like earnestly might be better, because I don't think impatiently aligns with the context, but I need your help. What would you choose (considering the context) (can also choose another word, would appreciate it)

Answer:

Replace the word with impatiently.

Explanation:

The word, "impatiently", is a better fit considering the context. Earnestly means, "with sincere and intense conviction; seriously". Impatiently means "in a restlessly eager manner".

In the context, the character is not expressing conviction for anything. He seems to be in a panicked state because he was getting farther from the tree. Therefore, impatiently is a better fit.

Other options could be, hastily, or fretfully.

"Nights and Dragons."<br><br> main idea
Natali5045456 [20]

Not sure if this is the answer you want, but here it is!

Nights and Dragons, by Abigail Prynne talks about a pre-teen who as a little girl, was obsessed with dragons, and at the age of 13, wanted to find out if dragons are, or were actually real? As she started researching the topic, she found that many scientists gave many reasons why dragons couldn’t exist. Remembering encouraging words from her grandmother, she kept researching dragons and found some interesting facts. With seeing that many cutlers wrote or talked about dragons, and included them with other “real” animals, she started to have hope that dragons might be real. With newfound hope, she started looking for new theories, and found many people that had the belief that dragons were real! They have many theories, that if dragons existed they could produce gas to fly; however, many disagreed with these theories. We might not know if dragons were ever real, but there might always be people disagreeing over the subject, but I will still smile at the idea of dragons being real.

Anyway, brainliest please! and I might have the answers for some other lessons.

(I don't know if I spelled brainliest right)

Which quotations from the excerpt best represent reasonable evidence to support the claim that Americans are losing confidence i
mezya [45]

Yes:

For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years.

Two-thirds of our people do not even vote.

No:

. . . the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.

The productivity of American workers is actually dropping. . .

Explanation:

The quotes in the "no" category do not symbolize a lack of faith in government; while they do allude to Americans losing hope, they do not do so in regards to their government. The quotes in the "yes" category on the other hand, directly tie Americans' lack of motivation and hope to the state of their government. Not voting indicates an unwillingness to choose from the selection of candidates given at election time. A lack of hope for the next five years indicates that the belief that the government will do what's right by the people is quickly fading.
