In the first paragraph, the narrator says, "[The Hydrophobic Skunk] is so rare that nobody ever saw him--that is, nobody except

a native." Why is it that only natives have ever seen the Hydrophobic Skunk? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

It is based on the context that the Hydrophobic Skunk is so rare that nobody ever saw him, this indicates that the regular person from anywhere cannot identify if the skunk really exist since no one has ever seen one. It is like a myth or a legend or just really rare. For the native, who has seen one or perhaps has been living with one around its area, knows the skunk exists, but depends on whether he or she knows its the name as Hydrophobic Skunk since no report was given that the skunk lives in the certain area. He or she may refer to it as just a skunk.

How do the rumors about Gatsby tie into the theme of illusion and reality in chapter 6?
kykrilka [37]
There are lots of rumors going around about Gatsby. Some people say he is a spy and others say he once killed someone. The truth is a bit simpler than that: Gatsby was born into a poor farming family. He had to work to put himself through college. 

These rumors, as well as Gatsby's reality, illustrate the theme of illusion vs. reality. In this world, nothing is as it appears to be. Everything is an illusion -- everyone is pretending to be something they're not.

In this, Gatsby is no different. Many characters, Gatsby included, wear a mask that hides the real person underneath.

The author is making the point that the world of glitz and glamour is often all for show.

Organize the paragraph properly by putting the sentences in the correct order.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2). Despite what you may assume, computer coding is  more like a language than a type of mathematics.

6). First of all, many programming systems, such as  Java or HTML, are called “languages.”

5). These systems are called languages because they  truly operate as languages.

4). Recent research suggests that learning these unique  languages requires thinking like a language expert  rather than a mathematician.

1). A 2020 study published in the journal Scientific  Reports found that “language aptitude” and other  skills play “a bigger role in predicting how someone  will pick up a computer language — not how savvy  they are with numbers.”

3). Based on these findings, you shouldn’t be discouraged  from studying coding, even if you do better in your  language classes than in your math classes.

Explanation:

The correct order of the claim and supporting evidence would be 2, 6, 5, 4, 1, 3. It begins from the common opinion that people have towards 'computer coding' followed by the names of different coding languages. Then, the reason for which they are named as languages and how recent researches display that it must be learned with a mindset of a language expert instead of as a mathematician. Further, it is substantiated through a study's quotation that how skills play a significant role in picking up these languages. Lastly, the conclusion is made that one need not be disheartened that only mathematics is the basis to learning computer language but linguistic skills can surely help.

Internal.

The courage Drew had to work up is internal. If it were external, something outside of Drew would change. In this situation, his courage is purely in his brain, so internal.
