AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

B. There were not enough firefighters to do all the necessary tasks.

Explanation:

We can tell from the first sentence that there was not enough help. Even without knowing any background on the story, we know there was just a thin circle of engines around the fire. In order to deprive the fuel of fire, the firefighters asked spectators to help by chopping up fences and sidewalks. This way the fire fighters could focus on the engines.

I need to make my own creation myth and I was wondering what you guys think I should add to what I have:

Mrrafil [7]

1. Im thinking the god's name could be Anthos.
2. He first tryed creating other planets, but failed, then succeeded at creating Earth.
3. He created plants, trees, insects, ect., probably because they were needed to balance out life.

If it didn't help, here's my myth
U can ask me questions about it:

There are the 2 gods, the God of Creation (Anthos) and the God of Destruction (Marthos) . Time and time again, Anthos would create life forms, planets, and even galaxies, and Marthos would destroy them (either to keep things in check or for fun). One day, Anthos had enough of this, so created planet Earth with creatures that were very dangerous and could also cause a decent amount of damage. When Marthos saw these creatures, he was amazed and left them alone for an extra million years, but eventually Marthos wiped them out.

Do you know the answers to the common lit story question "Coming of Age Ceremonies Across Different Cultures" written by Thomas

Alex_Xolod [135]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the question from the commonlit article:

1. Which statement best expresses the central idea of the passage?

2. How does the author introduce the main ideas of the passage?

3. What is the author's main purpose in the article?

4. What connection does the author draw between Quinceanera and bar or bat mitzvahs?

Answer:

1. D. Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration.

2. C. The author explains a number of specific traditions and then summarizes how they are all the same.

3. D. to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures

4. C. Both celebrations and ceremonies involve a religious component and a party.

Explanation:

1. Indeed, we can note from the text the author's emphasis on the coming-of-age ceremony and celebration. Hence, the central idea of the text is best expressed by the statement, "Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration."

2. We can remember in the last paragraph the author after explaining a number of specific traditions he then summarizes how they are all the same by saying, "all these ceremonies demonstrate is that becoming an adult is not something one has to do alone"

3. Yes the text appears to be written in an expository format, done in other to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures.

4. We can easily observe that in Jewish cerelebration (bar or bat mitzvahs) it involves going to a place of worship (the synagogue), while in Quinceanera we are told "The celebration...begins with a mass" (which is a religious component).
