Answer:

Explanation:

In the 1840s, great wooden ships known as clippers began sailing the high seas.  These narrow, swift vessels were considered the fastest ships int he world.  They sailed from New england ports to the West Indies, Java, China, and India, carrying furs and bringing back tea and silks.  They also sailed around the tip of South America, transporting gold seekers from the east coast of America to California.  When the Civil War ended, in 1865, steamships - and later, oil-burning ships - took over the work of the clippers.  The days of the great wind-drive wooden ships soon came to an end.

Stormalong was first immortalized in "Old Stormalong," a popular sea chantey, or work song, sung by sailors when they weighed anchor or hoisted the sails.  In 1930, in his book Here's Audacity, Frank Shay collected and retold the old yarns about Stormalong told by sailors from the old wooden ships.  And a few years later, a pamphlet published by C.E. Brown brought together more of the Stormalong tales.

The story of Stormalong has since been retold a number of times.  The popularity of the tale is due at least in part to the nostalgic, romantic appeal of the tall, graceful clippers and admiration for tech skill and physical courage of the sailors who piloted them.  Since the fossil fuels that have driven our ships for the last hundred years are in finite supply, perhaps it is just a matter of time before the great wind-driven ships return to the sea.

                              --American Tall Tales, by Mary Pope Osborne, 1991

balu736 [363]
The answer would be <span>B) One of my sister's friends that she made in her college sorority are a doctor.

The subject-verb error occurs in the words made and are. Made indicates a past-tense event, while are indicates the present-tense. To fix the sentence, you could change are to is.

When you _____, you try to determine the meaning behind events and the characters’ actions.
kykrilka [37]
The correct answer is A, 'analyze'. When you analyze a character's actions, you are examining them and attempting to understand them. Answer choice B is incorrect, because gathering details about a character's actions does not necessarily mean that you understand them. Answer choices C and D are incorrect because they are part of the writing process, and when you examine a character's actions, you are typically reading.

Hope this helps!

What should be done to conserve our culture ​
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. Gather as a group not just for holidays, but for ordinary meals, events, or just conversation. Many aspects of culture are difficult to learn in books and museums, including etiquette, body language, and humor. Whether or not you share your parents' and grandparents' religion, studying it can help you understand their culture. Religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. Becoming more familiar with your or your family's religion can help you understand all these other aspects. If you know someone who shares your culture but has a different native tongue than yourself, ask them to teach you. Many linguists and anthropologists argue that language shapes our whole perception of the world. Plus, if the language is rare in your area, nobody will be able to eavesdrop on your conversations!
