Answer:

D. desire to surprise his friend and his friend’s failure to recognize him

Explanation:

Answer D

Correct. In these sentences, the author presents a humorous reversal that emerges from the ironic incongruity between the traveler’s plan to “overpower” his old friend with an excess of pleasure and the anticlimactic outcome of the surprise visit. As it turns out, the friend experiences no immediate pleasure from the visit because he fails to recognize the traveler and can only be made to remember him after the traveler gives a “gradual (in this context, methodical) explanation” of who he is.

slavikrds [6]

Answer: B. Our greatest primary task is to put people to work.

Explanation:

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt took over as President, the country was in the grip of the Great Depression. An unprecedented number of Americans were unemployed and could not afford their living expenses.

Up till then it was a general belief in the United States that the government should not be involved in the economy but Roosevelt came with a new idea. He believed that the government should involve itself as this was the only way to restore balance and so he initiated a slew of agencies and projects aimed at employing Americans in their numbers.

use an example to explain how timing of reproduction in plants and animals is tied to energy availability
alisha [4.7K]

All animals and plants have evolved to time the periods of their reproduction in accordance to the available resources, or rather they are more abundant and easier to get.

Explanation:

As examples we can take the apricot tree, as a plant, and the lynx, as an animal.

The apricot tree starts the process of reproduction when the temperatures are higher and when there is more sunlight. This usually starts from the beginning or middle of March. The reason as to why the apricot starts the reproduction during this period is because the warmer weather enables the bees to come out and pollinate it, while the sunlight is crucial because as a plant the apricot uses it for the process of photosynthesis.

The lynx is member of the cat family. It is a predator so it has timed its reproduction in accordance to the reproduction of its prey. The reason for this is that the lynx will need more food when it has cubs, so it is much easier to get more food when its prey has offspring as well as they are easy target, but also the mothers tend to be more defensive and often try to stand up to the predator which also makes them much easier targets.
