Answer:

1. 'on' = preposition

2. 'and' = conjunction

3. yummy' =adjecttive

4. 'their' = pronoun

5. 'wishbone' = noun

6. 'larger' = adjective

7. 'generously' = adverb

8. 'donate' = verb

Explanation:

1. Remember, a preposition is a word or group of words that are often used before a noun or pronoun in other to indicate the direction of an object or the location. Therefore, the word, "on" is a good example of a preposition.

2. A conjunction is a word that helps to connect sentences or clauses together. The word 'and' is an example of conjunction as it helps to connect the first sentence, "Each year Americans....sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes," to the second "cranberry sauce are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations."

3. An adjectives are words that describe or modify other words. Hence, the word 'yummy' describes the delicious feeling when "Some families include breaking the turkey's wishbone as part of their celebration."

4. The word, "their" is a pronoun because it acts to replace a noun in other to avoid repetitions of a noun.

5. A noun in simple terms, is a word that names an object, person or thing. Here, the word, 'wishbone' is the name of an object "found attached to the breast meat in the turkey's chest."

6. Here, the word 'larger' describes/modifies the word "part of the bone".

7. An adverb is any word that modifies a verb, adverb, sentence, or other words. The word 'generously' does exactly that by modifying the adverb, 'to'.

8. Remember, a verb is a word that describes/shows an action. Here the 'donate' indicates an action that is done.

Simplify the expression

bonufazy [111]

When you're simplifying equations, you have to collect the like terms (the similar ones, eg- fractions would be like terms, and so would letters).
When you're simplifying, you also have to take note of the operation before the equation.
1) Firstly, collect the like terms of M (M and -4M). As M comes before -4M, you have to add -4M to M. As -4M is a negative, this overwrites the addition, and this becomes M-4M. This then gives you -3M. The same applies to the fractions, as you have -1/6 + 5/6, you have to add 5/6 to -1/6, and this gives you 4/6, or 2/3 simplified. Therefore, you put these together- and this gives you -3M + 4/6, however, you normally have a negative number second, so one this has been rearranged, this gives you 4/6-3m.

2). Same applies to this one, you also have to collect the like terms of W. 2.3W and -3W. You simply have to subtract -3W from 2.3W, and this gives you -0.7W. You now have to collect the numbers, and you have -7 and 8. 8 is a positive, therefore, you have to add 8 to -7, giving you 1. Therefore, when you collect the like terms, this gives you -0.7W+1. As aforementioned, you cannot have a negative first, so one this is rearranged, this gives you 1-0.7W

Hope this helps :)

Write a story in which a text message plays an important role

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

I kept looking over my shoulder, expecting to hear soldiers ordering me to stop or worse, opening fire on me. I never asked for any of this, I was just a simple government worker until yesterday when everything changed.

The text message came into my phone at about 10:32am while I was at my desk working and for sure, it looked like a prank text which I didn't find funny. Some minutes after that, I got a call from an unlisted number who gave me the most chilling news I've ever heard, and which I still hope against hope that somehow this is all a prank.

The text message contained information about an alleged nuclear attack against Russia in less than 16 hours, which would surely cause a world war. It said the President and some members of the military were keeping it top-secret and were going to launch the attack without letting Congress know. It was up to me to get this information to the Speaker of the House so he can hopefully stop the madness.

The sender was part of the team who were working on the nuclear weapon but he somehow smuggled the information to me.

The government were on to me and agents were already on their way to pick me up, it was a race against time to show the Speaker the text message and convince him of its authenticity and hope he acts fast.

What is the poem prevision about

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

I immediately start thinking of Anne Morrow Lindberg's classic book Gift from the Sea. Another poem I also think of is "Fear" by Gabriela Mistral. Kilmer's poem, especially 13-16, are ready-made for tombstones. "My heart shall keep the child I knew/When you are really gone from me,/And spend its life remembering you/As shells remember the lost sea." This is a poem from a mother's heart, where grief has pierced it beyond the presenthour. It's the brief moments she clings to, and then must acknowledge the brevity of the precious life that was given to her in the form of the child. Lines 11-12 tug at the visual, "A mist about your beauty clings/Like a thin cloud before a star."
