they make a new sentence based off of the research they have done using new words, or saying the same thing in a different way if you know what i mean :)) hope this helps
To describe the pattern, maybe it would be helpful to find the difference between terms. We do as follows:
30 - 20 = 10
20 - 12 = 8
12 - 6 = 6
6 - 2 = 4
As we can see the pattern's difference is a factor of two. The differences are divisible by 2. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

This question is related to a short story "Fish Cheeks" by Amy Tan
Amy's parents invited the Minister and his family for a Christmas Eve dinner. However, Amy felt really embarrassed because of her family's behavior during the dinner.
The reason was that Amy's family was Chinese, they had different traditions and customs, and had a different taste in food, comparing to a typical American family. Her mother cooked all the family's favorite dishes like Fish cheeks, tofu and squid, which are usually not found on a table of an American family on Christmas Eve. Moreover, her relative ate noisily with chopsticks and were reaching across the table to get the dishes, rather them passing them. Her mother also told the guests that she made Fish cheeks because they were Amy's favorite. The worst part was the end, where Amy's father belched loudly after the dinner and explained the guests how it was a way of appreciating the food in Chinese culture.
The following paragraph can be considered as the best piece of evidence about Amy's feelings during the dinner:
"Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reachedacross the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced. Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fishcheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal my father leaned back and belched loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It’s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night."

Explanation:
The Abbasid Caliphate (/əˈbæsɪd/ or /ˈæbəsɪd/ Arabic: اَلْخِلَافَةُ ٱلْعَبَّاسِيَّةُ, al-Khilāfah al-ʿAbbāsīyah) was the third caliphate to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was founded by a dynasty descended from Muhammad's uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib (566–653 CE), from whom the dynasty takes its name.[2] They ruled as caliphs for most of the caliphate from their capital in Baghdad in modern-day Iraq, after having overthrown the Umayyad Caliphate in the Abbasid Revolution of 750 CE (132 AH). The Abbasid Caliphate first centered its government in Kufa, modern-day Iraq, but in 762 the caliph Al-Mansur founded the city of Baghdad, near the ancient Sasanian capital city of Ctesiphon. The Abbasid period was marked by reliance on Persian bureaucrats (notably the Barmakid family) for governing the territories as well as an increasing inclusion of non-Arab Muslims in the ummah (national community). Persian customs were broadly adopted by the ruling elite, and they began patronage of artists and scholars.[3] Baghdad became a center of science, culture, philosophy and invention in what became known as the Golden Age of Islam.
Despite this initial cooperation, the Abbasids of the late 8th century had alienated both non-Arab mawali (clients)[4] and Iranian bureaucrats.[5] They were forced to cede authority over al-Andalus (Spain) to the Umayyads in 756, Morocco to the Idrisids in 788, Ifriqiya and Southern Italy to the Aghlabids in 800, Khorasan and Transoxiana to the Samanids and Persia to the Saffarids in the 870s, and Egypt to the Isma'ili-Shia caliphate of the Fatimids in 969.
The political power of the caliphs was limited with the rise of the Iranian Buyids and the Seljuq Turks, who captured Baghdad in 945 and 1055, respectively. Although Abbasid leadership over the vast Islamic empire was gradually reduced to a ceremonial religious function in much of the Caliphate, the dynasty retained control over its Mesopotamian domain. The Abbasids' period of cultural fruition and its (reduced) territorial control ended in 1258 with the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols under Hulagu Khan and the execution of Al-Musta'sim. The Abbasid line of rulers, and Muslim culture in general, re-centred themselves in the Mamluk capital of Cairo in 1261. Though lacking in political power (with the brief exception of Caliph Al-Musta'in of Cairo), the dynasty continued to claim religious authority until after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517.
Three reasons why Fritz’s suggestion (in The Swiss Family Robinson) to let the ship’s crew shift for themselves was wrong are:
- According to the father, one should not repay evil with more evil.
- His second justification is that the crew may offer useful labor and aid in constructing a shelter.
- His final justification is that the crew of the ship may very well be starving to death and that it is their moral duty to provide assistance.
