"This can't be happening," thought Jim as he barrelled down the field, the ball tucked under his arm and the endzone a mere five

yards away. "Just a month ago I was the waterboy, dreaming of a chance to play and now this?!?!" Jim's thoughts raced through his head silently, almost unconsciously, as he dove over the line to the sound of roaring applause. As his teammates mobbed him, slapping his helmet and yelling congratulations, he thought once more, "This just can't be happening..."
How does the inner dialogue of Jim's thoughts develop his character?

A) It makes him more complex, balancing his outward success with inner doubt.
B) It makes him less interesting, as it does not tell about his physical appearance
C) It makes his character sinister, planting the seeds of deceit in the reader's mind.
D) The inner dialogue does not affect the characterization of Jim at all, as it has bearing on the story.​

Jem and Scout have different views about telling people at school how well Atticus can shoot. Explain this difference. Which vie
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Jem is dumbstruck with the accuracy of his father's shot. Miss Maudie tells the children that their father used to be known as "One-Shot Finch," the best dead-shot in the county. She says he doesn't shoot unless he has to, because he feels that when he holds a gun, God has given him an unfair advantage over living beings. Scout wants to tell everyone in school about the incident, but Jem tells her not to. Jem explains that he wouldn't care if Atticus "couldn't do a blessed thing," because Atticus is a gentleman.

Explanation:

After Atticus shoots and kills a rabid dog in one shot, both Jem and Scout are astonished at their father's marksmanship abilities and wonder why he never bragged about his talent. Miss Maudie explains to the children that Atticus is an extremely humble man with a civilized heart. Miss Maudie then tells Jem and Scout, "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents" (Lee, 102). Later that day, Scout mentions to Jem that she cannot wait to brag about her father's abilities at school, and Jem tells her to not say anything. Jem recognizes that his father is a gentleman and wishes to follow in his footsteps by behaving like a humble individual, which is why he encourages Scout to not brag about their father's talents. Personally, I would be able to control my pride and emotions by staying silent about my father's marksmanship abilities. Maycomb is a small town, and the word would rapidly spread about Atticus's expert marksmanship. <u>I feel that it is always better to hear about someone's talent and abilities from a secondhand source than listen to a person brag about their own talents.</u>

Why is the waste going to those countries instead of saying in the United States for recycling? In complete sentences
Rashid [163]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the name of "those countries" that receive the waste from the United States. Without the names, we are limited to fully answer.

However, trying to help you we can comment on general terms based on our knowledge of this topic.

Many times the waste going to underdeveloped o poor countries instead of saying in the United States for recycling is because it is cheaper for the United States to send that waste abroad to those countries. Another reason is that environmental laws in the US are stricter than in other countries, so US industries have to invest more money to comply with United States environment regulations. So these industries prefer to pay to other recycling companies abroad.  

In those other countries, legislation is not as strict as in the US or sometimes environmental legislation is non-existent. The problem is that in these countries people, civilians, suffer the consequences.
