Answer:
The Tinker vs. Des Moines case was one that focused on student's 1st amendment rights on school grounds. As a protest to the Vietnam War, Tinker wore a black armband with a peace sign. Mary Beth Tinker was then punished for wearing this armband. She took it took court arguing that this was protected free speech under the first amendment. After several appeals/trials, the Supreme Court voted 7-2 that this was indeed protected free speech.
The majority decision basically discussed how students do not lose their first amendment free speech privileges once on school campus. The majority judge argues that unless the speech disrupts the educational process, then it is protected by the first amendment. Failing to prove that the speech disrupted the educational process results in the speech being protected by the first amendment.
The dissenting opinion said that students should not have the right to express any opinion at any given time. The two judges also argued that this incident distracted students from their work and the ability of the school's administration to do their job well.
Answer:
The Mayflower Compact laid the foundation for self-government in the United States.
Explanation:
The passage clearly states, "The Compact has long been celebrated as a model of government in which the leaders derive their power from the consent of the governed."
Therefore, it's a process of elimination from that point on.
Answer:
I believe the options are:
(A) All these decisions by public officials and businesses are aimed at one goal: slowing down the spread of the virus to avoid overburdening a health care system that doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a sudden surge of tens of thousands of cases at once.
(B) Epidemiologists study diseases and how they spread. They can somewhat predict how many cases of a disease are going to occur based on how the disease is behaving.
(C) The only reason total U.S. cases aren't already skyrocketing is that coronavirus testing has been such a mess that too few people — just 77 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the whole week of March 8 — are being tested. You can't count cases you haven't identified yet.
(D) But every indication is that the United States is on track to see the same exponential increase other countries are seeing, as scientist Mark Handley has been tracking on Twitter.
Explanation:
Flattening the curve basically means to lessen the pressure on the healthcare system by employing precautionary measures against the coronavirus. These, as you might already be aware, include hand washing, use of face masks, sanitizers, gloves and staying at home to prevent catching the infection.
Without protective measures, the number of cases will increase exponentially, ultimately overburdening the healthcare system. There won't be enough doctors, nurses or medical equipment to cater to the patients.

The verb "memorized" is an action. Memorizing is an action of repeatedly studying something until it is moved from your short term memory to your long term memory.
C. a proverb
A proverb is a short staying that tells a universal truth or advice. This proverb is saying that a true friend is one that it there for you in times of need, not just in good times.
An adage is very similar to a proverb. In fact, they can be used interchangeably. Generally an adage is something that is a saying that is very old. Often proverbs are seen as words of advice and an adage as a statement of truth.
A simile is a comparison between two things using like or as.
An idiom is a phrase that does not mean what it says. For example, "raining cats and dogs" is an idiom. This does not mean that cats and dogs are raining down on the earth. It means that the rain is very heavy.
