PLEASE HELP ME IT'S DUE TODAY. The Mysterious Box "This is the last box," Samuel called as he entered the foyer of his new home.

He carried the heavy box down the hallway to the kitchen where he found his mother, father, and sister unpacking various gadgets. Samuel's family had sold their previous home and moved into this old Victorian–style house so his father could work at the local hospital. Samuel didn't relish the idea of moving at first, but now he thought this might not be such a bad place to call home. Additionally, school didn't start for another month, so Samuel and his sister, Catherine, would have time to explore their new neighborhood and meet other kids. After Samuel placed the cardboard box on the kitchen counter, his mother rushed over and started inspecting it. "This box contains your great–grandmother's wedding china," Mom explained as she opened it. "These dishes are very old and fragile, so I hope they survived the move. "While his mother carefully examined each piece of china, Samuel asked his father what needed to be accomplished next. "Well, you and Catherine can take the boxes of winter clothes up to the attic after lunch," Dad said as he put spices and canned goods away in the pantry. "We'll also need to see if the previous owners left anything behind and clear it out. "Catherine let out a groan at the thought of spending the afternoon cleaning the attic. "Come on, Catherine," Samuel said with a smile. "Clearing out the attic might be fun! You never know what treasures might be hidden in this old house. Catherine replied, "You've got your head in the clouds if you think we'll discover hidden treasures in this place. I think we're more likely to find a bunch of clutter. "After lunch, Samuel and Catherine hauled several boxes to one of the guest rooms, where they could access the stairs to the attic. The attic was hot, and Catherine immediately felt like leaving the cramped space. They deposited the boxes in one corner of the large attic and then looked around to see what had been left behind. Catherine let out a dramatic sigh when she reached the opposite end of the attic where several cardboard boxes were piled against the wall. Unfortunately, they would need to go through them all to see what was inside. Samuel found a box of old books that were in good condition and could be taken to the local library. Catherine's mood improved immensely after finding a trunk filled with outdated clothes. Samuel could not keep a straight face when he saw her donning a hideous floral scarf and an enormous feathered hat. The clothes were spotless, so Catherine decided to donate them to the high school's drama department.
How does the author's use of the word "treasure" help the reader understand the characters' feelings about the contents of the mysterious box?
A. It shows that Samuel thought the box contained actual expensive treasure.
B. It shows that the old photographs and letters in the box were priceless possessions to Ms. Reynolds.
C. It explains that Samuel and Catherine returned a box worth a lot of money.
D. It shows that Ms. Reynolds offered a cash reward to Samuel and Catherine for returning such a valuable possession.

How could dissappering bees diminish our food supply
Kay [80]
Since bees help pollinate plants, a lack of pollination could prevent certain species of vegetation from growing. Therefore, the plants could be driven into extinction. These plants act as a food source to many animals, so if the animals have nothing to eat, they'd die off as well. Consequently, our own food supply of crop and animal would decrease.

PLEASE HELP I CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
egoroff_w [7]
In Chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout, Jem, and Dill venture downtown at night and find Atticus sitting in front of the jail. Unaware of their presence, Atticus is sitting in a chair and reading a newspaper. As the children begin to leave, a line of cars approaches and stops in front of the jail. Hiding near the hardware store, Scout, Jem, and Dill watch as the men exit the cars and approach Atticus. One of the men says, "He in there, Mr. Finch?" Atticus confirms that Tom Robinson is indeed inside but cautions them, "He's asleep. Don't wake him up." What follows is what Scout refers to as a "sickeningly comic aspect of an unfunny situation."
The men are there to participate in a violent and uncivilized act. However, while their goal is to lynch Tom, they are respectful of Atticus and do as he says by whispering when they speak. It is ironic that they plan to hurt Tom and may even hurt Atticus in the process; they speak to him respectfully and whisper out of obedience to him. They even refer to Atticus as "Mr. Finch." Though there is nothing funny about the events, Scout refers to the situation as "sickeningly comic." This is because the men are managing to be respectful while at the same time planning to do bodily harm.

I hope that helped :)
