To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful co

untry as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.
Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change.

We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom.

That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains that the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression.

We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil.

Read these sentences from the passage.

“Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change.”

What is the central idea expressed in these sentences?

A. South Africans are hopeful and ready to be a source of light for the world.
B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.
C. All South Africans wish to focus on their nation’s positive qualities rather than the negative ones.
D. South Africans have avoided their painful history for far too long and need to begin a new.

Answer:

B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.

Explanation:

Here's the excerpt you provided. I highlighted some key words that helped me arrive at B.

“Each time <u>one of us</u> touches the <u>soil of this land</u>, we feel a sense of <u>personal</u> <u>renewal.</u> The national mood changes as the seasons change.”

The author says that "All South Africans share a connection" by using the word "<em>us</em> " rather than "<em>I</em>." He talks about a sense of "<em>renewal</em>." Renewal is another word for rebirth or "new beginnings." Thus, choice B makes the most sense.

Where do Victor and Henry travel for a fortnight prior to Victor returning home? and Why was Victor’s return home postponed from
AlexFokin [52]

Answer and Explanation:

They travel together because they are very close friends who have known each other for many years and Henry's father believes that it is a good idea for them to spend time together as a student and become more cultured, in addition to being distracted.

Victos' return was postponed because he had a very high fever, became very ill and had to recover to endure the trip back to Geneva. Vitor only returns when he is completely recovered, but he managed to spend a good time while he was away.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The rest of my story

Explanation:

After about an hour or two, the phone rang and Charlee answered it and after about two minutes of silence Charlee said: “Ok thanks I will let you know after our talk.” Jackson ran out of the house and to Carter’s house (his best friend). He knocked on the door and when no one came to the door he knocked louder and louder until Carter’s mom came to the door. Jackson said, “Is Carter there I need to talk to him.” Carter’s mom nodded her head and pointed to Carter’s room. Before Jackson went into his room he knocked and said: “Can I come in?” Carter said “Sure.” Jackson sat down on his bed and he put his chin in his hands and said: “I have done something so terrible and I need help.”  

Carter then said, “Hey I’m here if you ever need me.” Jackson said “Yeah I know. That’s why I always come to you.” They smiled at each other and Carter then said: “But I really need to know what you did so horribly wrong.” Jackson looked up and said “Ok but you have to promise not to tell anyone.” Carter said, “Ok I promise.” Jackson then told him the story about what had happened during the day and when Jackson got done telling the story Carter was spellbound and said, “Dude, what are you going to do?” Jackson replied with a sigh and said, “I don’t know what to do. That’s why I came to you so you could help me. You can, can’t you?” Carter then was the one who needed to sigh and he said: “I don’t k...”

Jackson cut him off before he was finished and he said, “Fine I’ll do it myself.” Carter said, “Yeah, and what’s that?” And Jackson said, “First I have to get rid of him.” He pointed to across the road to his house and Carter was like “Ok but don’t say I didn’t tell you.” Jackson said, “Thanks anyway for Nothing.” Jackson then ran across the road without looking and a truck almost ran him over Jackson then flipped the truck driver the middle finger and said, “HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING.”  

When Jackson went back to his house he went to the drawer and found a kitchen knife and he went to find his dad when he couldn’t find him he then went to his room to lay down and he put the knife under his pillow and that was when he heard the loud banging on the door. He went to the door and that was when the 4 people came bursting through the door and put him in a chokehold and dragged him out the door and threw him in the back of the dark blue van.  

This is all I have wrote. Hope this helps and hope you win!!

Write a brief summary of "Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!"​
vivado [14]

Answer:

The story speaks about how the astronauts cope with boredom in space.

Explanation:

The article "Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You To Death" is written by Maggie Koerth-Baker. The article begins with six astronauts living on the slopes of volcano for a project named HI-SEAS.

They began with a pretending game of "What if we lived on Mars?" The astronauts are studying how people react on spending large  amount of time in space. According to the article, it takes eight months on each way and the astronauts get to spend a large amount of time in the space and they must get bored of these long times.

The writer reveals that these chronic boredom times can be very dangerous as it makes the astronauts day dream and make them depressed also. So, they should engage themselves in various tasks to avoid getting bored as it involves the risk of life of other crew members as well.
