If the lion is the king of the jungle, then the polar bear is the king of the Arctic. Polar bears are majestic, powerful creatur

es that capture our imagination and are a living definition of wild. Unfortunately, polar bears’ habitat is changing so much that they may not survive in the wild beyond this century.
Polar bears’ survival depends on sea ice. They swim from ice floe to ice floe in search of seals and walruses. However, climate change has caused the polar bears’ hunting habitat to shrink in size. Ice floes are smaller, farther apart and farther from shore, making it necessary for polar bears to swim great distances in their hunt for food. These long journeys are dangerous. An Alaska Science Center study found that bear cubs swimming after their mothers had a 45% death rate.

The length of season in which polar bears can hunt has also decreased by almost three weeks in the past twenty years. The reason is that the ice sheets are freezing later and melting earlier. The shorter time for food hunting has caused weight loss and poor health in the polar bears. Their populations have dropped 20 to 40 percent in most areas.

Some people argue that polar bears will adapt to a new lifestyle, eating alternative foods, such as dolphins trapped by ice pockets or Arctic goose eggs. But, according to Karyn Rode, a wildlife biologist in Alaska, these occasional creative meals aren’t going to be enough to save all of the polar bears.

We may lose the polar bear, the wildest creature of the Arctic, because of habitat loss caused by climate change. What can we do? Join the World Wildlife Federation, or Polar Bears International, and send an email to your local congressperson, urging him or her to fight climate change and protect polar bears.

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

2.) It allows state governments to provide free education.

The Tenth Amendment states that the powers not delegated to the United States government by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. This allows states to establish their own laws as long as they aren't contrary to the federal government's laws. Therefore, as the Constitution does not say anything about the education system, or how it should be, the states have full freedom to decide whether to provide free education or not.

An article suitable for publication in your school magazine on the need to inculcate good moral value in the youth​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

     Morality is ethics or principles that make one stand out among the multitude and it is a means of assessing an individual's worth in any Society. Moral value therefore in our youth is what cannot be overemphasized in the youths. Youths of any country today are the leaders of tomorrow, as a result, there is the need to inculcate good moral in them I as the world has been bedevilled with a lot of immorality. Immorality is most common in our youths and if this menace is not curbed, it will further create anarchy in our environments and to its inhabitants. The need therefore to inculcate good moral value in our youths is a responsibility of not only the parents but the community as a whole.

     Morality is what people look out for in every youth and every morally upright youth is a source of pride to his parents. Charity they say begins at home, and youth must be properly disciplined from childhood by his parents. The parents of such a child have little or nothing to worry about when he becomes a youth.

     Another institution that needs to inculcate moral values in the youth is the community. The upbringing of a child in the African society is the total responsibility of the entire community members. The adults discipline a child with love when he misbehaves. More so, the government as in the case of Nigeria has discovered that youth without. ut moral will constitute a nuisance to the community. This we can see with the case of terrorism facing our nation the recent times. Thousands of lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

     Furthermore, the government has seen that the most effective means of inculcating moral value in the. youth should start from the grass root. This has made the government introduce civic education into the school curriculum from primary education to tertiary. This is aimed at curbing the menace of terrorism, cultism, drug addiction, among others in the youth.

     Besides, Religious groups and non-governmental organizations have seen the need to inculcate good moral values in the youth as a result of immorality which has taken over our society. Sermons have been preached and seminars organized to help advise the youth to dissociate themselves from groups that will not add positive values to their lives.

     Principally, the role of the school precisely teachers and guidance and counselling department in instilling good moral value in the youth cannot be overlooked. Since youth spend more time at schools, they should be properly monitored so that they do not join bad peers. Youths should be properly disciplined by the school authorities and reported to the appropriate authorities for rehabilitation if found to have belonged to any such bad group.

     Finally, failure to pay attention to the timing of youths has been the major cause of upheavals in our country. Our I youths should be engaged by our government and be made productive. A morally upright youth, therefore, is an asset to the nation at large.

Read the passage below and answer the question.
Ludmilka [50]

It happens because the racist Macomb jury members convict Tom of raping Mayella Ewell. Jem is devastated and loses his faith in the community members of Maycomb.  Jem was feeling confident about winning the court case and even told Reverend Sykes not to fret because Atticus has already  won because of the lack of evidence.

What was not seen by them, but the Reverent had seen, was the fact that the locals were racist and had never decided in favor of a black man over a white one.

The correct answer is:

2.Tom might have won the case had race not been an issue.
