Answer:
Sermon reading was popular because the settlers were very religious and had religion as an important part of their lives. In addition, sermon reading allowed for socialization among the settlers because they could talk about the sermons and bring the entire community together for the reading.
Explanation:
Several colonies were created by people who were fleeing religious persecution in their countries. This means that these people had religion as something so important in their lives that they preferred to leave their homelands, to venture into a completely new and unknown territory, but that would allow them to exercise the religion they wanted, without reprisals. Furthermore, the colonies were created by Europeans, who had great faith in religion and God's provision for those who were obedient.
This made the settlers take religion very seriously, even in American territory. The teachings of each religion were disseminated through the reading of sermons, which was a very important part of colonial life, as it strengthened the religiosity and brought the whole community together.
Answer:
A. Religion was important to colonists.
D. Others in the community would read and talk about sermons.

A.) Read the beginning of Jason's argumentative speech on the use of Internet slang and answer the question.
The use of acronyms, or abbreviations, is not new. In fact, there are examples of the use of acronyms that date back to antiquity. Ancient scribes had a daunting enough task without having to write out every word. The Christian Church has inscribed the acronym INRI, which stands for the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum ("Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews") over the crucifix for centuries. American and European corporations discovered long ago that it is easier to remember three letters than it is to remember three names. During the twentieth century, there was an upsurge in the use of acronyms that corresponded with the introduction of highly technical vocabulary. The tendency to shorten has an established history and many of these abbreviations have even found their way into the dictionary. Today, the use of time-saving abbreviations provides the language of internet and other wireless communication. But should it? Unlike in the past, this shortening does not represent a natural and necessary progression of language change. Internet slang is a manifestation of two much more serious problems with modern society— intellectual laziness and too little time.
Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?
1- OMG! don't we have bigger problems as a society than taking a few short-cuts when it comes to communication?
2- Until recently, the use of acronyms could be justified in most contexts.
3- Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.
4- Intellectual laziness is a treatable disease, while finding more time is much more challenging.
__________________________________________________________________
B.) Read this excerpt from Jason's persuasive speech and answer the question.
The main reason for using a slang unique to the Internet is to make communication easier.
Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?
1.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: However, there is some debate about how internet slang influences everyday language.
2.) Add this sentnece to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.
3.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: However, while Internet slang shortcuts save time for the writer, according to at least one study they take two times as long for the reader to understand.
4.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Only strict grammarians object, arguing that Internet slang is a degradation of standard usage.
Answer:
Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?
3. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.
Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?
2. Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.
Explanation:
For the first question, we must first understand what Jason's claim is. That can be found at the end of his introductory paragraph:
"Internet slang is a manifestation of two more serious problems with modern society - intellectual laziness and too little time."
Now, we must find a sentence to introduce a counterargument. A counterargument is an idea that opposes the argument. The argument claims that internet slang usage is a problem. The counterargument must state the contrary. The sentence that does that is number 3: "Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use." This sentence is basically stating that internet slang is not a problem.
For the second question, we need to choose the option the adds supporting evidence to the excerpt. In other words, we choose the option that agrees with and complements the excerpt. The excerpt states that slang makes communication easier. The only option that agrees with that is number 2. All the other options offer information or present ideas that go against that opinion. Sentence 2, however, explains that slang makes communication less stressful.

Use context to determine the correct meaning of the
word "state" in the sentence.
Listening to several people talk at once left Jerrod in a
state of confusion
What does the word "state" mean in the sentence?
A.) declaration
B.) a condition of the mind
C.) central government
D.) social status
Answer: B) Condition of mind
Explanation: Looking at the sentence, we can right off the bat eliminate central government (C) and social status (D). These make no sense when applying them to the sentence. Moving onto A) declaration. In order for this to work, Jerrod would have had to declare his state of confusion, internally or out loud (which he does not). This leaves us with B). Knowing that Jerrod is feeling confused, and knowing that confusion can be a state your mind can be in, we have our answer.

My guidance counselor was kind of pushy when I told her I was having
a hard time narrowing down my list of colleges. I didn't realize that
thinking about my future could be such a chore.
Answer:
think about what major you want to go into
certain colleges are better for certain majors
why would she be pushy tho? she shouldn't be doing that...how much time do you have left before u go to college?
Answer: Oh No!
Explanation:
It's totally normal for you not to have a narrow list of colleges. I have been doing soooo much college prep, and I barely even have a list of the actual colleges I'm prepping for. Try thinking of what your passionate about, or what you could see yourself doing in the future. With this information check what your list of colleges have available to you, and eliminate based on that. You could also put into consideration the location and financial aspect of each college. That should help you get a good understanding of which colleges would be reasonable for you. And regarding your counselor, there is no reason for her to be putting more pressure on your shoulders, that's literally the opposite of what she's supposed to do. Maybe explain to her that her pushy mannerisms aren't helping you get anywhere. Good Luck!

Answer and Explanation:
My mother had a very positive attitude during the pandemic. She never complained about the boredom and insecurity that pamdemia brought, she followed all the security protocols, gave positive advice so that everyone around her also used the security protocols and tried to make our quarantine period as fun and exciting as possible.
She always told us to have hope and confidence that this period would end if we all cooperated and that we should protect ourselves. She reinforced that this was a difficult period by nature and we shouldn't make it more difficult with negative attitudes. This is a perspective worth imitating.

Ask a teacher you trust if they would give you feedback about any area in your life they see hindering your success. Take notes, and thank them. Post their name here and the notes of what they shared. Next, reflect on what they said, and write out one argument that supports what they said and one argument that opposes what they said. Take another few moments to reflect on both arguments. Remember that they only want the best for you. Keep in mind that it's tough for everyone to hear criticism. Don't forget that you have the power to overcome any circumstance. Now, focus on just one thing that you've learned during this exercise, and write it below.
Answer:
Dear Josue,
Procrastination is one of the most common causes of failing to accomplish goals. This is a thing we need to give up. When you are having your dreams and goals, remember that the best to take action is now. The present moment must be cherished and taken as your last chance to give your best.
So, what can be the best solution to overcome procrastination? This by doing something immediately, instead of making excuses and letting the time pass without doing anything. Keep yourself busy working today to be moving forward to your goals and closer to your success.
It is essential to accept that there are things that do not go by how they are planned. Everything can't always go perfectly well. There can be errors, and there can be shortcomings.
But from there, there can be lessons, and there can be improvements. When we learn how to be grateful for what we have and appreciate all our efforts to accomplish something, that's when abundance and happiness can be achieved.
I know you procrastinate because you are afraid of failure. Of not turning in the "best" assignment. I understand you entirely. Just know that no process is linear. Give your responsibilities a set time to complete them and continue on with the next when you have reached the time limit. Know that you are an amazing student and that all that matters is dedication, not "perfection". You've got this! I know you are capable of greatness.

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. {The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country.} {For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery;} and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. {Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country}, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. {We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.} Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? {For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.}
