surprised by how loud my new baby sister could cry I might have to get ear

Explanation: A
run-on sentence is a sentence that conjoins thought with the usage of
conjunctions and punctuation such as a comma or semi-colon. Choice C did not
use any punctuation, besides a period (which doesn't matter in this case) and
did not contain any conjunctions whatsoever.
Choice A is
incorrect because the word "so" was used to bridge two thoughts.
"So" is a conjunction. Also, a comma was used, so we know this isn't
a run-on sentence.
Choice B is
incorrect because the word "and" was used merge two thoughts.
"And" is a conjunction.
Choice D is
incorrect because a semi-colon was used to couple two thoughts into one
sentence.
Thus, the answer is
Choice C.

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
Answer:
When they go to bed and what makes them stay up late
Explanation:
She would most likely need to know what time they go to bed because that could be a large factor in when they sleep. If they go to bed at 9 pm, then they wouldn't really benefit from a later sleep because they only get a few hours of sleep even if school started later. Meanwhile students who go to bed later would certainly benefit from the earlier start time.
Also she would need to know why they go to sleep late. For example, homework makes them stay up late because they need to finish their assignments, work on projects, study, etc. Another example is after school activities, students could arrive home late due to sports and have to eat dinner right as they come back, forcing them to do work late at night.
President Kennedy makes intensive use of parallelism and antithesis for the sake of persuasion and to make his speech more appealing to the audience. Antithesis is a rhetorical device which is used to contrast two ideas or things in a parallel sentence. Parallel structure is a literary device which consist of a repetition of some pattern of words. These stylistic devices offer the reader a more pleasant speech as well as it makes the speech easy to understand the main idea of the thought.
Example: "Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate."
