Dan takes the wallet to return it to the owner.

<h2>✏️MULTIPLE CHOICES</h2>

The warm autumn day inspired Dan and Chris to take a walk along the river. Soon after they started, Chris spotted a small black object among the wet yellow maple and scarlet sumac leaves. As they approached the pile of leaves, they discovered the object was a wallet.

"Someone must have dropped it when he was walking down here," Chris said as he reached into the leaves.

Both men studied the wallet in Chris's hands. It was wet from last night's rain, but they could still read a business card from Speedy Plumbing in the front pocket. There were several of these cards, along with two credit cards, a family picture and a driver's license. When they opened the long pocket in the wallet, they discovered close to one hundred dollars in cash.

"It looks like this guy lives in Toronto and works for Speedy Plumbing," said Dan, examining the driver's license and business cards.

"Well, I think that we just found ourselves some extra cash," Chris said, counting the bills.

"l didn't think that you, of all people, would consider keeping cash that doesn't belong to you," Dan said, grabbing back the wallet and the cash.

Chris became defensive and argued, "If we didn't take it, then someone else would. It isn't like we're going to use his credit cards or anything."

Dan was puzzled by his friend's reasoning. He imagined losing his wallet and how thankful he would be if someone called him to let him know that it had been found with everything still in it.

Chris was irritated with Dan for worrying so much. "Just take the cash and send the guy his wallet," Chris snapped. "That way we get a little bonus for finding it and the guy doesn't have to worry about his credit cards."

When Dan put the wallet in his back pocket and started walking away, Chris followed, telling Dan to stop and think it over. Dan ignored Chris and kept walking until he found a phone. Then he called the owner of the wallet.

Select the correct answer.

Which one of these is an important event?

A. Dan discovers the wallet's owner is a plumber.

B. Dan takes the wallet to return it to the owner.

C. Dan carries the wallet in his back pocket.

Correct answer # 2: The world's nations must cooperate; one nation cannot solve the world's problems by itself.

Answer # 3 is incorrect as there is a capitalized word

Answer # 1 it is incorrect to use "for" as the sentence is grammarly completed

Wright about a time u had to keep a secret using two paragraphs

sasho [114]

Answer:People are horrible at keeping secrets. As in, really, really bad at it (no matter what anyone may tell you to the contrary). And you know what? We’re right to be. Just like the two Rhesus Macaques in the picture above, we have an urge to spill the beans when we know we shouldn’t—and that urge is a remarkably healthy one. Resist it, and you may find yourself in worse shape than you’d bargained for. And the secreter the secret, the worse the backlash on your psyche will likely be.

I never much cared for Nathaniel Hawthorne. I first dreaded him when my older sister came home with a miserable face and a 100-pound version of The House of the Seven Gables. I felt my anxiety mount when she declared the same hefty tome unreadable and said she would rather fail the test than finish the slog. And I had a near panic attack when I, now in high school myself, was handed my own first copy of the dreaded Mr. H.

Now, I’ve never been one to judge books by size. I read War and Peace cover to cover long before Hawthorne crossed my path and finished A Tale of Two Cities (in that same high school classroom) in no time flat. But it was something about him that just didn’t sit right. With trepidation bordering on the kind of dread I’d only ever felt when staring down a snake that I had mistaken for a tree branch, I flipped open the cover.

Luckily for me, what I found sitting on my desk in tenth grade was not my sister’s old nemesis but The Scarlet Letter. And you know what? I survived. It’s not that the book became a favorite. It didn’t. And it’s not that I began to judge Hawthorne less harshly. After trying my hand at Seven Gables—I just couldn’t stay away, could I; I think it was forcibly foisted on all Massachusetts school children, since the house in question was only a short field trip away—I couldn’t. And it’s not that I changed my mind about the writing—actually, having reread parts now to write this column, I’m surprised that I managed to finish at all (sincere apologies to all Hawthorne fans). I didn’t.

But despite everything, The Scarlet Letter gets one thing so incredibly right that it almost—almost—makes up for everything it gets wrong: it’s not healthy to keep a secret.

I remember how struck I was when I finally understood the story behind the letter – and how shocked at the incredibly physical toll that keeping it secret took on the fair Reverend Dimmesdale. It seemed somehow almost too much. A secret couldn’t actually do that to someone, could it?

Answer:

d. When people join a crowd, they lose their individuality and become part of something like a collective mind.

Explanation:

According to the Classical Theory of crowd behaviour the correct answer is d. When people join a crowd, they lose their individuality and become part of something like a collective mind. Classical Theory states that the minds of those peoples integrating a crowd or group of people tend to "merge" their way of thinking into a single one. This way of social thinking fosters anonymity and may generate emotions. There are other valid theories such as Contagion Theory, Convergence Theory and Group Mind Theory among others.
