Which word contains a Latin root that means "to see"?
O transform
O inspect
O televise
O prepare
Answers
Answer:
televise
Explanation:
The Latin word for “to see” or “look at” was vis. Therefore, out of all options listed here, televise is the only one that has the Latin root of that word. None of the other words contain the word “vis”.
Television means to show or transmit by television so people would look at it. This is why it is connected with seeing and looking.
Other familiar English words that have the root in the Latin word vis are vision, invisible, television, supervise, visit.

Read this conclusion from "Heads Up on Sports Safety."
Do the precautions of these helmets mean that football is safe? Football and other sports are safer; however, even with the best helmet, head trauma is still possible, especially after the head has been hit repeatedly. More information is still surfacing about the long-term possible effects of head injury to professional athletes.
Now read the supporting text appearing next to a photo of a 1904 football game in the article.
1904 football game between the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan. That year there were 18 football deaths and 159 serious injuries, due to lack of proper helmets, safety equipment, and loose rules. President Theodore Roosevelt urged the colleges to make the game safer. However, in 1905, there were still 19 player deaths and 137 serious injuries.
How does the supporting text of the 1904 football game relate to the purpose of the main text?
It shows how sports safety has not changed over time.
It describes how football games are played.
It provides an example of danger in sports in the past.
It illustrates the popularity of team sports in America.
Answers
Answer:
It provides an example of danger in sports in the past.
Explanation:
The text of the 1904 football game provides an example of the danger in sports in the past. The main text tells about how football has become safer but still isn't completely safe. Risks of serious injury still exist, but we don't hear about numerous deaths and hundreds of serious injury cases nowadays. This means that sports safety has changed, which makes the first option incorrect. The supporting text doesn't tell about how football games are played or about the popularity of team sports in America, which makes the second and fourth options incorrect as well.
This is why the third option is the correct one.
Answer:
It provides an example of danger in sports in the past.

Interpret Reread lines 5–6 of "On Being Brought from Africa to America." What do these lines tell you about the speaker's experience? How do these lines help develop the theme? Support your response with evidence from the texts.
Answers
Answer:
Lines 5 and 6 from the poem tell how she suffered from being considered as "almost an animal" because she was black. She even uses a phrase that she quotes "Their colour is a diabolic die" because it was probably what she had been told. It's her own experience with racism and slavery. The poem has different parts although it's short, because after she tells her experience in those lines, she finishes the poem saying that every person is the same for God.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to read the poem "On Being Brought from Africa to America" written by Phillis Wheatley in 1773. She writes from her experience, she was a slave and she started writing poems when she was 14 years old.

If you were to create your own show, what would it be about and what would your main character be like?

Answers
Answer:
:0
Explanation:
If it were up to me (not including stories I had already created because that's private), I'd create an animated series featuring the lives of several characters- each episode (or group of episodes) would be a fragment of the story. As the series continues, a conflict of some sort would be visible- and the finale would conclude everyone's story.
There would be multiple main characters, with diverse backgrounds and personalities. We would see a typical heroine with good motivations, maybe a charming character with questionable morals, a young adult questioning their future- depends. (Some actual worldbuilding would have to take place for me to specify).
Answer:
My main characters would be people who have different dreams, each person gets exactly 1 month to accomplish it, with a budget of 1 million dollars, they can either earn more or just spend, if there dream was to invest then they could, if they want to go to paris they could use the money. If they wanted to stay there forever they could use the money while trying to find a job. They could bring people with them, max 2, each with different dreams different personalities.
