In chapter 11, Mrs. Tibbits and Ben just get back from toad watching because it was raining. Mrs. Tibbits tells Ben the reason why her sister-in-law wants to sell the house. Developers want to purchase the property to build on it. Ben realizes this is not good because the Spadefoot toads are endangered and if developers indeed purchase the property and build there, the spadefoot toads will no longer be able to lay their eggs and will probably become extinct. Ben is trying to hatch a plan to help Mrs. Tibbits in this situation.

It's widely believed that this is something of an urban myth. According to this myth, prison governors supposedly use third-grade reading scores in local schools to plan how many beds they will need to provide in their facilities. The idea is that those who fall into a life of crime never progress in their reading abilities beyond third grade.

Waverly's relationship with her mother changed from the start to the end drastically. At first, Waverly would listen to her mother when her mother told her to do something ("Bite your tongue") and would take that as an educational moment. As time went on though, her mother would try to observe Waverly in case she needed her guidance. "My mother had a habit of standing over me while I plotted out my games" shows this. This is around where her relationship starts changing. "Ma, I can't practice when you're standing there like that" shows that Waverly is already getting agitated with her mother. Later, her mother takes her out to the market and shows off Waverly proudly. Waverly, however, does not take this as a compliment and their relationship stoops lower. "(Waverly) I wish you wouldn't do that, telling everybody I'm your daughter" turns into "(My mother's) eyes turned into black slits... Aii-ya! Stpuid girl!". This is too much for Waverly to take and she runs off into a dark alley. At this moment, they are both fuming at each other. However, we can theorize that even though their relationship isn't the best currently, the mother will come back for Waverly by the end due to the fact it cuts off at "I thought and imagined she wouldn't come back. Then two" gives us a clue as to what will happen. Waverly will end up being reunited with her mother and their relationship will likely mend. In conclusion, their relationship changed drastically from start to finish, quickly going downhill.
I misspelled stpuid because. Brainly.

Answer:
Richard Connell and Ray Bradbury introduce the reader to experienced hunters who share three common character traits in their short stories. After comparing and contrasting character traits among Rainsford and Zaroff from Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” and Eckels from Bradbury’s, “A Sound of Thunder,” one sees that the best hunter of the group is Rainsford. While each character possesses patience, observancy, and the ability to handle pressure, Rainsford uses these traits in the wisest and most proficient manner. Hunters need many different assets, yet patience is one of the most important.
The key to being a successful hunter is being patient. Rainsford demonstrates his patience in many ways during the three days of the most dangerous game. Unlike Rainsford, Eckels shows no patience on his own hunt millions of years prior: “Out of the mist a hundred yards away, came the Tyrannosaurus rex” (Bradbury 84). Rainsford’s patience is the key factor that separates him from Eckels, who becomes frantic during the hunt. Through Ship Trap Island, Zaroff is able to portray his patience as well. Eckels, on the contrary, cannot attain the same sense of imperturbability, because he constantly asks questions: “Eckels flushed. Where’s our Tyrannosaurus?” (Bradbury 84). Zaroff has the ability to slowly guide a ship to provide more participants in the most dangerous game, unlike Eckels, whose prey comes running at him. Eckels simply has no patience, a sharp contrast to both Zaroff and Rainsford. To demonstrate his dedication and commitment, Zaroff says, “So I bought this island, built this house, and here I do my hunting. (Connell 21) Eckels’ lack of patience is unfit for a task such as the most dangerous game. Rainsford’s patience is greater than that of both Zaroff and Eckels. Being patient is a useful trait, but without keen observance, all chances of success are dashed.
