The nineteen year-old girl had just made her fourth score in her soccer game, the fourth goal winning the game. She looked over and saw her cousin applauding her from the sidelines, a present, which excited her, tucked under her arms.
After the game, the girl walked over to her cousin, took the present, and opened it. Inside was a beautiful necklace with a soccer ball as a pendant. It had a charm to it, the girl saw. Her cousin patted her on the back and congratulated her, grinning as he did so.
Later, the teenage girl sat at her computer, looking at the format with the new picture of the necklace she had just downloaded. She turned and saw the portrait of her parents on her bedroom wall. Then, she smiled. Turning back to the computer, she started to play a game. The goal was to merge two circles together by tapping rapidly. If you didn't merge the circles in time, they would squirt black ink in the player's face.
After getting bored with the game, the girl began her homework. She only had one vocabulary word left: Sermon. Getting stumped with the word, the girl made a verdict, or decision, to look up the word.
Turning on her phone, she saw that the screen was quite bleary. She silently cursed, but then took out her packet of homework and a pencil. At the top corner of the first page was an earthworm with a top hat, saying, "Learning is fun!"
The packet was on Mathematics, so the girl thought that she was never going to get it done. She had only recently learned, for about the thousandth time, angles. She already knew about acute, obtuse, and right angles, yet the teachers still force her to work on them. She didn't have a protractor at hand, so she couldn't do some of the questions. On the next page, a set of printed 3D shapes were placed on the paper. There was a cone picture, too, with only one vertex. Next to the cone were two congruent cubes.
After finishing the packet, the girl went to bed, very tired.
The answer is 5/8 because I divided both sides by 9
Answer:
My grandfather once told me I shouldn't have any regrets in life because I wouldn't remember them when I got to his age anyway.
Explanation:
An anecdote is a usually short account of an interesting, amusing, or biographical incident or event.
An example of an anecdote is the third sentence. The narrator tells us about something that happened to them, about their own experience.
The rest of the sentences don't contain this type of personal information. They are not told from anyone's point of view. They seem like simple, universal statements. This is why we can't say that they are anecdotes and the reason the third option is the correct one.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt were two of the first known civilizations. While they were able to maintain their unique identities, they played an important role in the development of several important technologies.
A pen, a wheel, a calendar, and beer were brought. In Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, between 3500 and 3000 BCE, each developed as a renowned civilization. Agriculture was the first time in history that people stopped seeking wild food supplies and settled down to farm instead.
A link between these civilizations was the fact that they both existed and flourished in their geographic locations, their faiths, their social structures, and their technological advancements, all of which aided them in developing and promoting themselves to one degree or another.
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read "Seals with high-tech hats are collecting climate
data in the Antarctic," by Katherine J. Wu.
Choose a problem (and solutions) described in the text. Explain what the problem is and why it matters, using
examples, facts, and details from the text. If possible, describe any solutions proposed in the text.
Answer:
The problem was that, because of the low temperatures, collecting data beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean was not possible with the current instruments.
Explanation:
The solution found was to set specialized sensors in elephant seals´heads to trace the variations in temperature while they swim the Antarctic waters.
The findings of this research are important because they should be included in the present climate model, to better understand how climate change is altering the way Antarctic waters, and the entire world´s water, move.
