PLEASE HURRY. Between the two jobs, I would be making about $320 a week after taxes, so that the $179 in rent would have amounte

d to about 55 percent of my income, which is beginning to look “affordable.”(7) But Rainbow also falls through; they decide they want me to work part-time five days a week, not just on weekends. Furthermore, I have no control at the moment over what my days off will be. Howard has scheduled me to have Friday off one week, Tuesday and Wednesday the next, and I would have to do some serious sucking up to arrive at a more stable and congenial schedule.
Ergo, I either need to find a husband, like Melissa, or a second job, like some of my other coworkers. In the long run everything will work out if I devote my mornings to job-hunting, while holding out for a Park Plaza opening or, better yet, a legitimate apartment at $400 a month or $100 a week. But to paraphrase Keynes: in the long run, we’ll all be broke, at least those of us who work for low wages and live in exorbitantly overpriced motels.

(from page 170 of Nickel and Dimed)

In the excerpt above, the author suggests that she could “find a husband like Melissa.” What does this suggest?
A.
It takes two incomes for a household to make ends meet if you have a low-wage job.
B.
The author believes that men should be the breadwinners in a relationship.
C.
The author wants to point out how unscrupulous Melissa is.
D.
It is more important to find a husband than to find a good-paying job.
E.
Men have an easier time getting high-paying jobs than women, so Melissa is smart.

Answer:

1. Students and the word red. How would they react to certain circumstances to learn the word red?

2.(Choice 1) Most students love eating red fruits and vegetables, such as apples and potatoes. In Red, students will become familiar with the color word red through a story about various red foods. Detailed photographs and repetitive text support early emergent readers. In addition to working on decoding skills, students will have the opportunity to compare and contrast as well as to connect to prior knowledge to better understand the text.

3.(Choice 1) The idea of the informational text is to teach kids to learn what red is. How to identify red, read the word red, and to know what red is. For example the passage says " Red can me shown in photos, foods they eat, and even everyday things they see such as trucks or cars.

4. The author in this passage thought of everything needed. They had pictures, detailed sentences, ideas, and helpful tips for the students. The author could have gave more explanation in some situations, but other than that the author did amazing in giving us an informational passage to read.

5. The author talked about images. Images of red things to show the students. Such as photos or even things shown in an everyday basis.  And that their are various forms of red.

6. The author used photographs of everyday things to show the students. The author could have added some information about how to explain these things to the students and it would have been perfect.

7. The idea of showing photos and items to the kids is a very interactive way to teach them. But telling them that there are many types of red is a key piece of information. They are both excellent ideas, but the first idea is more interactive and would most likely stick with the students longer. It would help them better understand the color red.

Explanation:

I hope this helps tell me if anything is wrong with this, and I would be more than happy to fix it for you.

Have a great day :)
