The story "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai is set in India on a hot summer day. Children are forced to stay indoors but are ea

ger to go out. Which four words in the excerpt suggest this sense of suffocation?
It was still too hot to play outdoors. They had had their tea, they had been washed and had their hair brushed, and after the long day of confinement in the house that was not cool but at least a protection from the sun, the children strained to get out. Their faces were red and bloated with the effort, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's "that stifled the children".

Explanation:

Stifled means suffocated, and it's asking which four words suggest this sense of suffocation, so I think that one makes the most sense.

I need to make my own creation myth and I was wondering what you guys think I should add to what I have:
Mrrafil [7]
1. Im thinking the god's name could be Anthos.
2. He first tryed creating other planets, but failed, then succeeded at creating Earth.
3. He created plants, trees, insects, ect., probably because they were needed to balance out life.

If it didn't help, here's my myth
U can ask me questions about it:

There are the 2 gods, the God of Creation (Anthos) and the God of Destruction (Marthos) . Time and time again, Anthos would create life forms, planets, and even galaxies, and Marthos would destroy them (either to keep things in check or for fun). One day, Anthos had enough of this, so created planet Earth with creatures that were very dangerous and could also cause a decent amount of damage. When Marthos saw these creatures, he was amazed and left them alone for an extra million years, but eventually Marthos wiped them out.

Developing kindness is important for social competence, relationships, and connection. Select one:
alexandr402 [8]
A)True.
In order to maintain relationships (both social and business relationships) a level of mutual kindness to each other is vital. Without kindness, a connection is impossible to be made. Additionally, if everyone was unkind, the world would be a much colder place than it is currently. Without kindness, compassion doesn't exist, which may result in social incompetence and increased wars and fighting.

Which line of dialogue best provides insight about a character's identity conflict?
Tomtit [17]
The correct answer should be <span>C. "I was out of work for a year," I explained, "so when this job as a baker's assistant came up, I took it, even though I hate getting up early in the morning."
An identity conflict has to do with one's wishes and one's inabilities to fulfill those wishes. So, this person wishes for a job where he doesn't have to wake up early - however, he took a job that required him to do so, even though it conflicted with his desires.

PLS WRITE 3 PARAGRAPHS BELOW WITH evidence, including facts, details, examples, or logical reasons. ITS REALLY IMPORTANT.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Yes, it is important.

Explanation:

when we tell our young these stories of noble actions committed by heroes such as King Author, it teaches them valuable life lessons, and lets them grow up to be strong noble men that have good moral standards. So yes I believe that people believing in folk tail stories is important.  

Even though there is little evidence to prove the historical existance of King Arthur, I think it is important to learn about his legend and values of the time. First of all, Arthur's story gives us a hint of what England was like during the period before it was unified into one kingdom. In this way, we can learn about what life was like then and what principles were considered important. Secondly, I think there is still a lot to discover about his legend. As a result, the more we study it and do research, the closer we will be of finding more evidence regarding his life as a historical character.
