English

larisa [96]3 years ago

Answer:

Water, plants, animals

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • thick shrubs, plants, trees
  • insects, pests, fire
  • seeds, fire, animals
  • water, plants, animals

When we're unsure about what a word means, the context it is used in is very important. It can help us partially or fully determine the meaning of a word.

Here, we have the word<em> undergrowth</em>, which refers to small trees, bushes, ferns, and other plants that grow beneath taller trees in a forest. Other words that can help us determine its meaning (called context clues) are <em>water</em>, <em>plants</em>, and <em>animals.</em><em> </em>Water, plants, and animals are all located on the forest floor, where the undergrowth can be found as well.

Why did priests use the calendar?
natka813 [3]

"See Aztec Empire. The Aztecs used two different calendar systems, one with a cycle lasting 260 days and the other with a 365-day cycle. The 260-day calendar cycle, known as the tonalpohualli (counting of the days), was a sacred calendar used mainly by priests to predict the future. "

There were Daykeepers that kept track of the days. I hope this helped.

Does Hansberry succeed in creating real people rather than racial stereotypes?what does she teach us about the American dream fo
AnnyKZ [126]

Hansberry manages to create real characters that did not match the racial stereotypes of the time. With that, she showed that to achieve the American dream, black people had to face many tensions both with the white community and with the black community.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Lorraine Hansberry was a black American writer who was able to observe how the black community, its afflictions, and its struggles were represented in literature, film, and theater.
  • This representation was full of stereotypes, incorrect and prejudiced information.
  • She changed all that when she wrote "A Raisin in the Sun."

That's because in "A Raisin in the Sun" she put black characters as protagonists, and presented real characteristics that portray black people in society in a realistic and non-stereotyped way.

She showed how the American dream was difficult for black people, due to conflicts with white society and conflicts even within the black community.

Read the excerpt from The Land.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

According to this excerpt, what Paul's father sees most likely makes him realize that Paul is not the one responsible for Ghost Wind's injuries.

The correct answer is B.

Paul's father knows he is a good horseman; in fact, he says: "<em>one of the best I've ever seen</em>". This and the fact that he walks around Ghost Wind inspecting him "<em>long and hard</em>" shows he suspects Paul is not the one responsible for his injuries, although Paul says he is.

The word that most closely means "dainty or squeamish" is _____________.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Fastidious

Explanation:

Words from the same language that have the same or similar meanings are called synonyms. In this case, we are looking for synonyms of the words dainty/squeamish.

The word <em>dainty</em> means of<em> delicate taste, easily disgusted.</em>

If someone is squeamish, they are easily upset, shocked, or disgusted by things they find unpleasant or don't approve of.

The word with the similar meaning is<em> </em><em>fastidious</em><em>,</em> meaning <em>paying attention to small details and wanting everything to be correct and perfect</em>, or <em>having high standards, difficult to please</em>. In dictionaries, it is often listed as a synonym of <em>dainty.</em>

The rest of the words don't have similar meanings.

A vixen is a female fox.

If something is cryptic, it is mysterious.

<em>Mortified</em> means extremely<em> embarrassed.</em>
