Answer: Based on its girth and size.

Explanation: According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the lake sturgeon which is currently an endangered species can live up to 55years for males and 70 to 100years for females.

However, the size and girth is an important criteria used by fish experts in deducing the number of years a sturgeon had used.

Thus, the caught sturgeon is about 7feet long and along with its girth suggested it had spent over a century roaming in the water body.

Answer:

To show the first human failure that contributed to the spread of the fire.

Explanation:

"The Great Fire" by Jim Murphy is children's story about the 'Great Fires of Chicago' that burned down almost half of Chicago.

Jim Murphy started the story with the fire and then proceeded to tell of how the families were. By starting the story <em>in medias res</em>, he brings to the point the failures of humans that eventually led to the fire. Though the fire brought out the real issues of the families against each other, Jim didn't mention them before the fire. Instead, he focused on the fire first and then begins the background of the story.

a story that ends with "therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​
zhuklara [117]

Here is a story that ends with  "therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​"

I must confess to you, I like to enjoy life. I like to have the latest clothes, gadgets and toys. I always splurged a lot and never saved. I reckoned I would begin to save when I was older.

But as I grew older, my gluttony seemed to just get worse. I earned five hundred thousand dollars per annum yet I always seemed to be in debt and I had no savings all thanks to my extremely lavish lifestyle.

In the blink of an eye, I was already old and I had to retire. I retired penniless and in great debt. I could not afford my house so I ended up in a homeless shelter.

If only, I had managed my finances better when I was younger, I would not be living in penury now. Therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​".

A story is an account of an event. The event can be real or imaginary

  1. Drama
  2. Comedy
  3. Fantasy
  4. Science-fiction
