Answer:

If you're new to running, you might run one mile in closer to 12 to 15 minutes as you build up endurance. Elite marathon runners average a mile in around 4 to 5 minutes. The current world record for one mile is 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999.

Explanation:

The most common advice isthat your long runs should be done at marathon pace (MP) plus about one minute per mile – sometimes described as MP plus 20%. ... When you get to a three-hour marathoner – 6 min 52sec per mile – the numbers don't work quite so well. If you add one minute per mile, you get to 7min 52sec.Mar

Faster runners, though, can cover a lot more distance in 3.5 hours. This is where your goal time comes into play: If the average marathon finisher runs a 10-minute mile, their longest run should be 21 miles. Fuel every 45-60 minutes during a long run, with around 30-60 grams of carbohydrate (120-140 calories) per hour (e.g. a large banana, white bread honey sandwich or energy gels), and don't forget to stay hydrated with plenty of fluids and electrolytes.

Across the board, most people finish a marathon in 4 to 5 hours, with an average mile time of 9 to 11.5 minutes. A finishing time that's under 4 hours is a real accomplishment for everyone other than elite runners, who can finish in around 2 hours. The distance of 20 miles is an arbitrary number that became popular for its roundness. Focus instead should be on “time on feet” with a training plan consisting of 3-6 runs of up to 3 hours long. Depending on the runner's pace, this approach allows multiple long runs of 16 miles or more.

Answer and Explanation:

The narrator of a "A Participant's First-Hand of Account the Boston Tea Party" describes two instances where citizens of Boston (Captain O'Connor and the tall, aged man) attempted to take tea of the boat for their own use rather than tossing it aboard as planned by the colonists. This angered the colonists because the plan was devised as a rebellion against Britain and the purpose was to prevent the taxed goods from entering the market. Stealing these goods rather than destroying them would contradict this purpose.

The quote that shows this purpose is in paragraph 2 of the account, "On the day preceding  the seventeenth, there was a meeting of the citizens of the county of Suffolk, convened at one of the churches in Boston, for the purpose of consulting on what measures might be considered expedient to prevent the landing of the tea, or secure the people from the collection of the duty".

Note: "Collection of the duty" as used in this sentence is used to refer a tax on imported goods entering a market.

Alika [10]
Repetition is a big literary device Martin Luther King Jr. uses in his speech in order to emphasize certain points. For example, his repetition of the phrase “Now is the time...” serves as a call to action for the audience.
King also incorporates personal pronouns like “us” and “we” in his speech in order to build a sense of unity amongst his audience. This unification is important in his speech it because it creates a common cause amongst which people from different backgrounds can come together and fight against.

If the writer paraphrases an opinion that she has read rather than reached independently, she is not required to cite the source
andrezito [222]
This statement is false.
Any time a writer paraphrases something he or she read somewhere, it means that he or she is paraphrasing somebody else's words, which means that person has to be credited for it. If the writer reached an opinion independently, then they wouldn't have to cite the source, but otherwise, they do, if they want to avoid plagiarism.
