I would rather be respected, because, while I may not be complimented as often, I know I won't stand for any disrespect. Also, it won't come my way if I am respected. Other people will know I am a person, and that is enough. No one will give me a hard time or question me if I'm respected, as well. Being loved, but not respected is a dreadful thing.

Answer:
A. Pangeans are historically untrustworthy.
Explanation:
The speaker's point of view is most likely that Pangeans are historically untrustworthy. At the beginning of the passage, he states that Pangea has long yearned to possess their resources. That's why he thinks they're likely to attack. Based on the following statements, we can conclude that Pangeans already tried defeating them. He doesn't explicitly state that it was them who attacked (<em>We have never been defeated before </em>- he doesn't say by whom), but based on the context, we can make this conclusion.
The speaker says that his people will defend what is theirs, which means that they will respond to violence by violence. To him, war isn't the last resort for resolving conflict.
Democratic principles are something he obviously treasures (<em>what makes us fair-minded and democratic is our strong national character</em>), and he never says anything about suspending them during wartime.
This is why option A is the correct one.
Answer:
Suddenly i woke up from my dream and i didnt know exactly where i was. I could see kids in the distance but i have no idea who they are. For some reason all i an remeber was that i was in my bed sleeping. How did i wind up here? Suddently I remember who those kids were. They are my cousins tomy, jack, brian, and david. But how did i end up all the way over here? oh right i was feeling dizzy and collapsed but how come no one came to check up on me? do u really not matter to anyone? Nah that cant be it, they must have not seen me fall, but how long have i been out for? As i checked my watch i saw it was already 5 pm !! Last time i had checked it was 2 pm. Do they really not care about me? Suddently i woke up again, this time in my bed. I looked around and even pinched myself to assure myself this time i was awake. Its barley 4am. Surprisingly it was all a dream, i dont even have cousins with those names !! What a dream, it felt so real but guess it wasnt. Well now i need to get ready for school. What a boring thing that is. School has so many rules that u need to follow. I just wish i could sleep forever.
Expository writing communicates fact based information, while a narrative tells a story.
