Read this sentence from the story.
A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a “cub reporter.”
Which earlier part of the story does this sentence refer to?
The narrator is not sure which kind of writer she wants to become.
The narrator interviews for a job for which she is not qualified.
The narrator has a long and challenging job search.
The narrator is panicking during her first day on the job.
The passage prior to the text: ⬇
I was in full-on panic mode. Here I was on my first day as an inexperienced reporter having to cover an important story with little guidance. I was starting to regret my decision to take the job. What was I doing here? I wasn’t a journalism major. I didn’t have a “beat.” I didn’t even know all the rules about dealing with sources and off-the-record information.
The previous spring, I’d taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.
By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview. Unfortunately, I was very unqualified for the job at the time. Then a woman I worked with at my part-time job told me about a reporter position opening up at the newspaper chain where her daughter worked. Though I’d never thought about being a reporter, I figured it couldn’t hurt to go on the interview. In addition to interview experience, the opportunity meant I was officially networking. All the job search materials I’d read stressed the importance of networking in finding a job.

Okay so I have to write a essay on “Privacy issues between children and parents” I just need help with 4 ideas of paragraphs. And I will do the rest thank youuuu
Answer:
Privacy Issues between children and parents are truly endless.
Explanation:
For example, the parents often violate the privacy of their children by entering bedrooms without knocking, attempting to overhear telephone conversations, asking personal questions, opening personal mail, infringing on personal time, giving unsolicited advice, and going through personal possessions. No amount of spying on kids is going to make them safer. In fact, it can lead to a host of unwanted consequences, like building mutual distrust between you and your children. It can backfire and encourage them to try even harder to hide risky behavior because they know you're looking for it.
If you were writing about how
de Vaca's experiences with
the Native Americans may
have influenced him to treat
them humanely later in his
life, which passage below
would give good supporting
detail?
Answer:
- Para 23: "We got to their dwellings, where we saw they had built a hut for us with many fires in it"
Explanation:
As per the question, the 23rd passage would provide the most adequate supporting details to substantiate the claim that 'de Vaca's encounter with the native Americans might be the cause of Vaca's kind and generous treatment of them in his later life.' This is reflected through the descriptions in the passage like 'we got to their dwellings...in it' as it shows that this experience made him understand their life, culture, and values which they offer to others despite being indigenous. Thus, this not only supports but justifies the claim as well. Hence, para 23 is the correct answer.

my life
Explanation:
This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school. I was born at Kaiser Hospital during the year 1996. The first place I lived was on the street Via Harriet and was right next to a train. It was always noisy when the train passed by because it shook the house and scared all the animals. It wasn’t the best place to live, but we eventually moved to the hills, I don’t remember…show more content…
Overall I know that I’m going to graduate because I’m pushing hard and all I need to finish is my Cyber High and keep up my grades and I will graduate. I want to go to Chabot College because it’s the closest place to go to. I am planning to get my associates degree then transfer to Cal State East Bay University. I don’t exactly know the requirements of classes to get into Cal State, but as long as I get my AA degree I should be fine. I am focused on technology and computers; I like to choose classes that can be similar to wiring or soldering. I am not that sure if I would be more focused on computers or wiring, I think an Internship might help me out. My career would be Technician or Electrician because I’m focused on electricity and wanting to discover what would happen without getting electrocuted. I’m still unsure if I just want to work on physical components on the computer. I used to work on computers a lot, but it got boring and I can’t do it as great now. Soldering is interesting for me because I get to repair broken wires, being able to strip a wire. When striping a wire, you get to know how the wire is connected. I think a life event for me is to grab my master’s degree, which is what I’m focused on. That’s like the best degree to get, but it’s really difficult to receive. I wouldn't like going to years and years of education, but it’s totally worth it. Getting a higher degree affects the amount

On p.857, Walter asks, "Ruth, what is it gets into people ought to be close?" When they try to talk about why they are having such problems, they reach no conclusion. What do you think the playwright wants us to understand as the cause of their problems
Answer:
The playwright wants the reader to understand that the main cause among the problems was the lack of communication and understanding among family members.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented in the question above is an excerpt from the play "A raisin in the sun" which features a family who received a large amount of money, which, despite changing their lives, proved that many problems affected all members of the family. These problems often become much bigger than what they should be due to the internal fights in the family, caused by the lack of communication, understanding and trust between the members. This is highlighted in the excerpt presented in the question above, where Walter, one of the main characters, feels uncomfortable with how the emotional distance between family members has affected everyone's lives.

C. Tiffany should participate more in class she has some great ideas that: Would benefit other students.
D. Tiffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The clauses before and after a colon or semicolon should always be able to stand alone, and D is the only answer that does this.
Answer:
D. Tiffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students.
Explanation:
Answer:
The sentence that correctly shows where a colon is needed in the sentence is the following one: Tyffany should participate more in class: She has some great ideas that would benefit other students (D).
Explanation:
A colon means that is to say. The fact is that a colon or a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence illustrates, explains or expands on the first sentence. In this case, the second sentence explains why Tyfanny should participate more in class.
D. The second sentence (She has...) explains the first sentence (Tiffany should...). So the colon should be between the first and second sentence.

Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun.
MAMA: Lord have mercy, baby. You done gone and bought your grandmother a hat?
TRAVIS (very proud): Open it!
She does and lifts out an elaborate, but very elaborate, wide gardening hat, and all the adults break up at the sight of it.
RUTH: Travis, honey, what is that?
TRAVIS (who thinks it is beautiful and appropriate): It's a gardening hat! Like the ladies always have on in the magazines when they work in their gardens.
BENEATHA (giggling fiercely): Travis—we were trying to make Mama Mrs. Miniver—not Scarlett O'Hara!
MAMA (indignantly): What's the matter with you all! This here is a beautiful hat! (Absurdly.) I always wanted me one just like it!
Which word or phrase from the text best supports the idea that the adults think the hat is inappropriate?
“have mercy”
(giggling fiercely)
(indignantly)
“What’s the matter”
Answer:
(giggling fiercely).
Explanation:
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin In The Sun," tells the story of the Younger family, an African-American family living in the Southside of Chicago amidst the issues of racism. The novel deals with issues of racism, desire for progress, family, love, loyalty, etc.
In the given passage from the excerpt, Travis had brought his grandmother Mama a "wide, gardening hat" which the adults think is inappropriate. But Mama Younger thinks "is a beautiful hat" and declared that "[she'd] always wanted one just like it." But when the adults "giggled fiercely", this 'aside' is suggestive of their reaction of finding the young boy's gift funny and hilarious.
Thus, the correct answer is "giggling fiercely".
Answer:
B) giggling fiercely

Thank you
One initial consonant: sky, jar, fly, horse, Britain, and scratch. Two initial consonant: crabs, bee, juice, tray.
What is consonant?A consonant is a speech sound produced by partially or completely blocking the flow of air out of the mouth with the speech organs in linguistics.
Consonants are made by restricting the vocal tract in some way, usually with the lips, tongue, teeth, and/or glottis. An initial consonant is a consonant that is pronounced at the beginning of a word.
Vowels do not function as consonants. There are five vowels in the English language (a, e, i, o, u), and the remaining letters are consonants.
The task specifically requests words with one, two, or three initial consonants, so vowels must be avoided.
Here,
One initial consonant: sky, jar, fly, horse, Britain, and scratch.Two initial consonant: crabs, bee, juice, tray.Three initial consonant: straight, pneumonia, suite, shrink, and choir.Thus, these are the consonants present.

Which statement best describes a counterclaim? A counterclaim is a document or reference that provides information.
A counterclaim is an opinion or stated idea that not everyone believes.
A counterclaim is an opposing idea or opinion.
A counterclaim is an argument against an idea.
Answer:
"A counterclaim is an opposing idea or opinion."
Explanation:
The first two such as "A counterclaim is a document or reference that provides information." and "A counterclaim is an opinion or stated idea that not everyone believes." are incorrect and wrong and do not best describe a counterclaim because one is not even what it is and the second is not a counterclaim nor an opinion it is a claim. Therefore 1. and 3. are no gos. The last one is wrong too because its not an argument against an idea its a claim/opinion. Therefore your answer is 2.
