Answer:

Acting as a judge in the Salem trials, Deputy Governor Danforth is determined to preside over a just proceedings. He is representing not only himself but his office within Massachusetts. As both a politician and a public servant, Danforth is keenly aware of his own reputation and his responsibility to the colony’s people.

The “sir” to whom he is responding is Reverend Hale, who has just stated: “You must pardon them,” referring to Proctor and others who continue to claim their innocence. By the time Danforth he makes this response, a dozen people have already been hanged for witchcraft. The proceedings have gained publicity not only in New England but also throughout the rest of the colonies. To change course at this point would be a serious error, Danforth believes; it would cast doubt on all of the court’s previous decisions, which had sent so many people to their deaths. Although he sees that innocent people will be killed and surmises that some of those already killed...

How did Paul's education benefit him? In two sentences, explain how his education affected his life.

Tom [10]

Answer: Saint Paul was able to read and write in both the ancient Aramaic language, as well as Greek and Latin, a part of his education that was given to him thanks to his membership to the Pharisees. It gave him access to the Gentiles once he converted and allowed him to form several Christian settlements all over Asia Minor.

Grade 7 TOP by MR Mohammed Abdelwahed whatapp (65002327)

Answer:

9. A) The Starfish

10. A) The sky

11. D) Collected

12. C) Rosie found a new thing to love

13. Rose climbed on her father's shoulders so that she could be closer to the stars.

14. The starfish lived in the ocean.

Explanation:

The given passage is an adaptation of the story The Strange Star written by Anita N. Amin. Another title that best suits it is The Starfish. The starfish is the strange star Rosie discovers. The story tells about how her love for stars in the sky taught her about another creature that resembles them. This is how the starfish becomes the most important thing in the story, which is why option A is the best one.

In the second question, we need to find the phrase substituted by the pronoun it. This phrase is the sky. We can see that here: Rosie loved watching the night sky. It shined with so many stars. Only the sky mentioned in the previous sentence can shine with stars.

The words gathered and collected have the same meaning. When you're unsure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary.

In the second paragraph, we can see how Rosie found the starfish and fell in love with it. This is why we can say that the main idea here is that Rosie found a new thing to love. We can confirm this with the help of the following sentence: Now, she loves both of them.
