Question 1: The answer is A.

Tumo was extrinsically motivated to go back to college part-time because he knew there was a real chance that the plant where he worked would shut down and move its operations out-of-state. But at the same time, he was also intrinsically motivated because he saw this as an oportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a veterinarian.

Question 2: The answer is A.

Tumo exhibits a Growth mindset. Rather than believing his qualities are set and looking for a job in a similar plant, he is certain that his intelligence can grow. Because of this, he strives to improve himself.

Question 3: The answer is C.

By isolating himself, Tumo would not be building resilience, on the contrary, he would be allowing the situation to get the best of him. On the other hand, if he were to maintain a positive stance, take actions before getting fired or see this as an opportunity, Tumo would be developing resilience and getting himself ready for the future that awaits him.

The speaker in the poem "Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to be Controll'd!" says that "wretched is a woman's fate.
Alja [10]

Answer:

"Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to be Controll'd!"

1. Delia's experience as Sykes's wife could be compared to the experience of the wife, detailed in the poem titled "Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to be Controlled!"

2. Delia chose to work in order to earn a living for the family when her indolent husband Sykes - as the head of the family refused to work.  Delia was not too emotionally involved in the relationship with Sykes after many years of abuse.  Thus, she preferred her husband's death to rescuing him after the rattlesnake poison started working its way on the instigator.  Another way that Delia showed her freedom was through defiance.  When Sykes threatened to stop her from working she did not yield to self-pity, she resolutely continued to work.  Unfortunately, she also chose to continue with the abusive marriage at a time she could have chosen separation.

3. The ending of "Sweat" can be regarded as a "poetic justice."  The evil conceived against another person has consumed the conceiver.  In all, it was Sykes who encouraged Delia to neglect him in his moment of self-inflicted agony and death.

Explanation:

"Verses Written by a Young Lady, on Women Born to be Controll'd!" was a poem written by an anonymous author in 1743, lamenting the difficulties that women encounter in the hands of men.  "Sweat" was a 1926 short story written by Zora Neale Hurston.  It chronicled the domestic abuses faced by Delia in the hand of her unfaithful husband, Sykes.

Read the sentences below. Choose the correct option to show which sentence uses a colon correctly.
Simora [160]

The correct answer is d) We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris

Explanation:

The main purpose of a colon is to introduce a list of elements or a clause that explains a previous sentence. For example, in the sentence "I have three favorite foods: salad, lobster and ice cream" the colon serves to introduce the "three favorite foods". According to this, the colon should be placed after one complete sentence and before a list or an illustration of the sentence.

Thus, the correct option is "We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris" because in this case the colon is used to introduce the two cities that were chosen to be visited. Also, the location of this is correct because it is placed after the complete clause "We've chosen two cities to visit" and before a clause that illustrates the first clause.

Write a thesis statement for your argument on rising the legal driving age.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Argument on rising the legal driving age.-

"The average annual rate quoted for a teen driver in the United States is $2,267 as of 2017. Even adding one driver to an existing policy adds more than $600 to the cost of coverage on your vehicles. "

As the number speaks for itself, State has shown that 15% of all accident death on the roads of the UK involve drivers under the age of 21 years. Research has shown that 17 to 20 years old are more likely to get injured in the accident.

Young people include the children and college-going students who may have a 'racer boy attitude' while driving causing fatal injuries and accidents.

Raising the driving age limit may help reduce the fatal accidents that occur with the teens on the roads. This could also help in reducing congestion and jam on the roads.

There are countries like India where the age limit of getting a driving license is 18 years.

hence, Raising the legal minimum age limit will decrease the road accidents caused by the reckless driving of an inexperienced driver.
