Answer:From past earthquakes, multi-story buildings with weak and/or open front wall lines creating a “soft-story” (i.e. buildings with tuck-under-parking) performed poorly and collapsed. The goal of the mandatory retrofit program, under Ordinance 183893 and Ordinance 184081, is to reduce structural deficiencies by the most economical and feasible method. Without proper strengthening, these vulnerable buildings may be subjected to structural failure during and/or after an earthquake.

Buildings that are most vulnerable have been identified with the following criteria:

Consist of 2 or more stories wood frame construction

Built under building code standards enacted before January 1, 1978

Contains ground floor parking or other similar open floor space

The program does not apply to residential buildings with 3 or less units.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Aunt Alexandra explains that she should stay with the children for a while, to give them a “feminine influence.” Maycomb gives her a fine welcome: various ladies in the town bake her cakes and have her over for coffee, and she soon becomes an integral part of the town’s social life. Alexandra is extremely proud of the Finches and spends much of her time discussing the characteristics of the various families in Maycomb. This “family consciousness” is an integral part of life in Maycomb, an old town where the same families have lived for generations, where every family has its quirks and eccentricities. However, Jem and Scout lack the pride that Aunt Alexandra considers commensurate with being a Finch. She orders Atticus to lecture them on the subject of their ancestry. He makes a valiant attempt but succeeds only in making Scout cry.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: <em>Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. </em>

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.
