Read the passage from The Odyssey - Elpenor. By night our ship ran onward toward the Ocean's bourne, the realm and region of the

Men of Winter, hidden in mist and cloud. Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven; ruinous night being rove over those wretches. Which is the best paraphrase of the passage?
It’s always cloudy where the Men of Winter live.
It’s always misty where the Men of Winter live.
It’s always dark where the Men of Winter live.
It’s always sunny where the Men of Winter live.

B.  It’s always misty where the Men of Winter live.

It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)

Describe what made the terrain around Nome perilous? How did this contribute to the heroism of the dog teams?
katen-ka-za [31]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Based on the 1925 serum run to Nome

Describe what made the terrain around Nome perilous? How did this contribute to the heroism of the dog teams?

Answer:

Located in the Alaskan tundra, the route to Nome crossed a 5000-foot mountain peak and the unstable ice of Norton Sound, ill-famed for breaking under pressure. Furthermore, the sea was frozen for seven months during the winter, meaning that dog sleds were the only way of transportation at the time. In addition to that, the “Great Race of Mercy” happened in the middle of a great storm.

Explanation:

All of these elements made the five days journey to get the serum required to save Nome (which should have taken a month) that much more heroic.

How do paragraphs 4-5 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?
MatroZZZ [7]

Paragraphs 4-5 contribute to the development of ideas in the text because they explain how the gene drive changes mosquitoes’ DNA, as stated in option B.

<h3>What are paragraphs 4-5 about?</h3>

After reading paragraphs 4-5 of the text "Gene editing wiped out a population of mosquitoes in lab tests," we can tell they contribute the development of ideas by explaining how the gene drive works.

According to the information in paragraphs 4-5, the gene drive is used to change mosquitoes' DNA so that the female mosquito will not bite or procreate. By doing so, scientists would help prevent the spread of malaria, since it is through biting that the female mosquito transmits the disease.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

The missing paragraphs 4-5 are the following:

The researchers changed the mosquitoes’ genes with a gene drive. Gene drives use the molecular “scissors” known as CRISPR/Cas9 to copy and paste themselves into an organism’s DNA at precise locations. They’re designed to break the rules of inheritance. They can quickly spread a genetic tweak to all offspring.

The new gene drive breaks a mosquito gene called doubles∈x. Female mosquitoes that inherit two copies of the broken gene develop like males. They are unable to bite or lay eggs. Being unable to bite means they can’t spread the malaria parasite. Males and females that inherit only one copy of the disrupted gene develop normally and are fertile. Males don’t bite, whether they have the gene drive or not.

Write a story that explains the saying, "two heads are better than one"​
snow_tiger [21]

<u>Following is the story that explains the saying: Two heads are better than one.</u>

<u></u>

I told you about number one last week. Today, I'll talk about phrases that use different numbers. Some issues are tough to resolve. However, several number expressions might be useful. For example, if we add two and two, we could receive the correct result. We all know that having two heads is preferable to having one. To solve an issue, it is always preferable to collaborate with another individual.

There are moments when there are no two ways about it. Some issues have a single remedy. You can't be in two minds about this. But, with hope, we'll be able to fix the problem with two shakes of a lamb's tail. We might be able to get our answers swiftly and simply.

We can sometimes kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can accomplish two objectives with a single effort or action. But keep in mind that two wrongs do not equal a right. If you do something horrible to someone, you should not do the same to them. You don't want another to accompany you on a date with your friend. You might just tell your friend that "two's a company, three's a crowd."

I had to learn the three Rs while I was in primary school. Studying, reading, and arithmetic are among the most important skills. These three words don't all start with the letter "R." They do, however, have an "R" sound. My lecturers would give me three cheers when I did well in math. They conveyed their gratitude and admiration for the excellent work they had done.  

Some of my classmates were perplexed and didn't grasp their coursework. They were on sixes and sevens at the time. They didn't care if they graduated from high school. They didn't see much of a difference between the two options. That was their situation: six of one, half a dozen of the other. They were, nevertheless, overjoyed when they finished their studies and graduated from high school. They were on cloud nine. They were on a high.  

Students who perform well in school are hired nine times out of ten. Some people work in an office, doing the same thing every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For this type of business, you do not need to dress to the nines or wear your nicest attire.

One of my pals applied for a better position at her office last year. I didn't think she'd get it. I felt she had a one-hundred-to-one chance of getting the job. Others in her office felt her odds were one in a million. One of the reasons was that she had been spotted grabbing forty winks at work. During the day, she slept at her desk for small amounts of time. Her boss, on the other hand, assigned her to the new position at the eleventh hour – at the very last minute. I think her fortunate number was called.
