This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

James Jay's invisible ink did not become visible by heating. As he described it, his ink "would elude the generally known means of detection, and yet could be rendered visible by a suitable counterpart." Jay's invisible ink consisted of two chemicals. An agent used one chemical to write an invisible message. To read the message, the reader had to brush a second chemical on the paper; that chemical made the message visible. The two-bottle system, supplied by Jay, gave Washington the secure form of writing that he wanted.

Answer:

The statement which best expresses the central idea of the excerpt is:

B. James Jay's invisible ink system allowed Washington to write secret messages.

Explanation:

Options A and C have information that we can assume after reading the passage, but that is not explicit in it. Therefore, they cannot refer to the central idea. We can eliminate those options.

<u>Option D mentions the two chemicals required for writing and reading the messages. Even though that piece of information is discussed in the excerpt, it serves more as an explanation of the central idea. In fact, the central idea itself is that Washington was able to write secret messages because of James Jay's invisible ink. That is what the passage is ultimately about. The author is merely explaining how that ink works when he mentions the chemicals. Thus, we can eliminate letter D and choose letter B as the correct option.</u>

Explain how education and training impact career options and future earning potential
Aneli [31]

Education and training helps to open doors to many different job opportunities.  While college is not for everyone, there are different training programs where you can earn special certificates and licenses to set you apart from other people.  The entire point is to make a living where all of your needs are met.  Simply having a high school diploma only makes you eligible for bare minimum jobs where you are completing against several others.  Yes, you are often able to work your way up the ladder if you are a hard worker, but that could take years.  In order to have more options and a future where you are earning more money than minimum wage.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Anton [14]

Lizabeth is a character in the story "Marigolds" written by Eugenia Collier. She is a 14 year old girl who is debating between childhood and adulthood.

The sentence that best shows that she is a dynamic character is:

Lizabeth doesn't understand why Miss. Lottie works so hard to keep pretty flowers in her garden when the rest of the town is dusty and poor.

She is a girl that is always trying to find out the reasons of things. She doesn't think that the marigolds belong to a town which lives in poverty and misery. After listening to her parents arguing,  Lizabeth was eventually so angry, that she went out, early in the morning, and ripped up Miss Lottie's marigolds. She didn't see a reason for them to stay, until after she had ripped them up.

In the beginning, Lizabeth thought that the marigolds were pointless. At the end, she understood that she was wrong and they symbolized hope and beauty.

Those changes made her a dynamic character, a perosn who can reflect on her actions.
