The Jews Hermann and Auguste van Pels with their son Peter,
Fritz Pfeffer and the Frank family were the folk hiding in the Secret Annexe.
They stayed inside, never leaving. They kept completely silent and keep the
curtains drawn. They have a ritual in the morning, the afternoon and evening contingent to the working schedules of the warehousemen to keep the laborers from discovering them.
Answer:
The missing options are:
A. The time that teenagers spend with digital media negatively impacts their ability to make sense of longer and more complex written material.
B. Teenagers are not developing the social skills they need to succeed in the world, as digital devices encourage them to spend time alone.
C. Fast-paced games and constantly updating social media makes it difficult for teenagers to be entertained by paper media, such as books and magazines.
D. The time that teenagers spend playing video games or on social media takes away from their commitment to their studies, negatively affecting their grades.
<u>The answer is </u><u>A</u>
Explanation:
The central idea is that teenagers spend less time reading for pleasure, which includes reading books, magazines, or newspapers and more time on the internet or social media. As a consequence, they do not develop critical thinking skills, do not reflect enough on topics, do not comprehend long texts, and find it hard to read them.
The text mentions other changes during the years but insists that the one with the more negative impact is the decrease in reading for pleasure.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under construction and he’d be leading them to the first exhibit. His fingers leapt to his name tag as he nervously introduced himself as "Liam, a student of the arts." Then he bade the group follow him. They traversed a vaulted hall lined with hulking objects, each one obscured by a faded tarpaulin. Some of the items stretched across the floor, others cast long shadows on the museum walls. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>C. intentionally omitting setting details
.</u>
<u />
Explanation:
The author of this passage only gives us enough information to know where the characters are, and that the place is a bit scary. We know it's a museum, but we don't know what it looks like. There are items, "hulking objects", but the author does not offer any details. We don't know what these objects are; all we know is that they stretch across the floor or cast long shadows. The same goes for the museum. The lack of details prevents readers from visualizing it clearly. We know the man and the class are at a vaulted hall. The color of the walls, the lighting, the atmosphere, all of it is omitted. That technique helps create suspense, since, without much information, we do not know what to expect.
Answer:
A. neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that
Explanation:
The underlined sentence starts from "neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that".
A) neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that
(B) neutrinos, which are harmless, are elementary particles produced in nuclear reactions and which. NOT CORRECT
(C) neutrinos are harmless elementary particles produced in nuclear reactions and which
(D) these harmless elementary particles are produced in nuclear reactions, and neutrinos OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECT
(E) these elementary particles, harmless products of nuclear reactions, are neutrinos that NOT CORRECT
Options B, D, and E are out leaving us with options A and C
C would be have been correct if it wasn't in agreement with the underlined statement.
it should have been written as, "particles which were produced in nuclear reactions and which". Instead of
"neutrinos are harmless elementary particles produced in nuclear reactions and which"
This only leaves us with A as the correct answer.
