Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question. Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle h

omes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay. What can best be inferred about Miss Lottie based on the description above? Miss Lottie was a loner with no family. Miss Lottie wished she could afford a better home. Miss Lottie was one of the poorest people in the neighborhood. Miss Lottie was an outcast who did not take care of her home

Answer: The right answer is "Miss Lottie was one of the poorest people in the neighborhood."

Explanation: Since in this passage there are still no references to the character of Miss Lottie, it is not yet possible to infer that she was an outcast who did not take care of her home, as she truly was. In addition, it cannot be inferred that she lived alone (which she didn't) or that she wished she could afford a better house. The description of the house, however, does reveal that hers was one of the most rundown homes in an already extremely poor neighborhood, since it was not properly maintained.

An aerospace engineering company borrowed $100,000 from the bank to get their company started. The company promised to pay a mon
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

aerospace engineering company borrowed $100,000 from the bank to get their company started. The company promised to pay a monthly payment of $500 to pay off the loan. The company could potentially turn profits of $20,000 a month. How long will it take the company to make $200000?

Amount borrowed = $100,000

Monthly repayment = $500

Monthly profit = $20,000

How long it'll take company to make $200,000

Since the company pays back $500 monthly, then net profit per month will be :

$20,000 - $500 = $19500

How long it'll take to make $200,000

Projected profit / net profit per month

$200,000 / $19500

= 10.256410

= about 10 months

After reading "The Lady, or the Tiger,” a reader might conclude that the princess chooses the tiger, because....
mestny [16]
The answer is A. she feels jealous of the lady.

The reason being is because the princess battles with her decisions since she doesn't want him to marry the lady behind the door but instead she wants to marry the prince herself.  So our conclusion would be that she would choose the tiger out of jealousy.

Arnold asks his parents, "Who has the most hope?" What group of people do you believe have the most hope? Why is it so important
adell [148]

Hoping is for everyone.

Those homeless kids? They might be hoping for a meal tonight. That kid who keeps getting picked on? He's probably hoping to be left alone. That little girl who hears her parents arguing? She might be hoping that they'd just make up.

Hoping keeps people alive, in a way.

For example, when the Americans during the 1700's wanted their freedom from Britain, they started a war. They lost so many battles. If they had given up hope, then America would've still been under British rule.

If the world gave up hope when Hitler was massacring those Jews, there would be no more Jews left in the world, probably. Germany might have still been a dictatorship.

Hoping and wishing are almost the same. ALMOST. Wishing is almost always useless, face it. Who would hear and care about your wishes anyways? Wishes are for all sorts of things that we know we can't have, and that are almost always unrealistic. 'I wish I could be a millionaire.' 'I wish I could fly.' 'I wish I could eat as many pizzas as I'd like without getting full.'

Hopes are more realistic, more thoughtful, and much easier to achieve. 'I hope my mom stays alive.' 'I hope I can get this job interview.' 'I hope I can go to the park today.'

I hope this helps your answer! Good luck!
