Read this excerpt from "The Medicine Bag." "You found the money in my boots?" he asked Mom. "Martin did," she answered, and roused herself to scold. "Grandpa, you shouldn't have carried so much money. What if someone had stolen it from you?" Grandpa laughed. "I would've known if anyone tried to take the boots off my feet. The money is what I've saved for a long time—a hundred dollars—for my funeral. But you take it now to buy groceries so that I won't be a burden to you while I am here."

“What would you consider your greatest weakness in a job interview ”
Answer:
Saying something that is more a positive aspect rather than a negative one is very overused and will be seen as avoiding the question nowadays, employers look for people who will admit to their weakness and their incapabilities, they'd rather hire someone who's self aware and tells so than someone who says something that'd make it look like you don't really have a weakness. Don't make it too terrible of a weakness though, say something like: I can be forgetful sometimes.

Provide an excerpt from a text and evaluate and explain how the Authors word choice and use syntax contribute to the texts overall meaning and tone
Answer:
He broke his fast in the hall of the old maiden, while he listened to the knights and the sellswords talk. He knew he was in dangerous fields, but he had an oath and no knight of the kings' guard would turn his shield against it. Much less, the most acknowledged king's guard on history.
Explanation:
In this paragraph we can see the syntax uses ancient English expressions to describe the events. "He broke his fast" is an old English expression to say someone had breakfast. Also, the tone is dark and filled with honorable conceptions that let the reader adopt a knightly perspective to understand the causes and the effects of someone's behavior.

Write a short paragraph on "Severn Cullis-Suzuki"
Answer:
the biography of Severn Cullis -Suzuki is given below you can take main points from here hope it helps you
Explanation:
geneticist and environmental activist David Suzuki,[2] is a third-generation Japanese Canadian.[3] While attending Lord Tennyson Elementary School in French Immersion, at age 9, she founded the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a group of children dedicated to learning and teaching other youngsters about environmental issues.[4] In 1992, at age 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Cullis-Suzuki presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the summit, where she was applauded for a speech to the delegates.[5][6] The video has since become a viral hit, popularly known as "The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes".[7] In her 1992 speech, she said: “I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the hole in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it."[8]
In 1993, she was honored in the United Nations Environment Programme's Global 500 Roll of Honour.[9] In 1993, Doubleday published her book Tell the World, a 32-page book of environmental steps for families.
Cullis-Suzuki graduated from Yale University in 2002 with a B.S. in ecology and evolutionary biology.[4] After Yale, Cullis-Suzuki spent two years traveling. Cullis-Suzuki co-hosted Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on Discovery Kids in 2002.
In early 2002, she helped launch an Internet-based think tank called The Skyfish Project.[10][3] As a member of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel, she and members of the Skyfish Project brought their first project, a pledge called the "Recognition of Responsibility", to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August 2002.[4] The Skyfish Project disbanded in 2004 as Cullis-Suzuki turned her focus back to school. She enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Victoria to study ethnobotany under Nancy Turner, finishing in 2007.[10]
Severn is married and lives with her husband and two sons in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.
Severn Cullis-Suzuki is the main character in the documentary film Severn, the Voice of Our Children, directed by Jean-Paul Jaud and released theatrically in France on November 10, 2010.
Cullis-Suzuki is an Earth Charter International Council Member

3. How far away is the sun?
4. What is a black hole?
5. How do airplanes fly?
6. How do flies walk on the ceiling?
7. How are rainbows made?
8. Are sharks mammals?
9. Why can I see the moon during the day?
10. Why do birds fly south for the winter?
Answer:
1. Why is the sky blue? Answer: Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white.
2. How much does the earth weigh? Answer: 5.972 × 10^24 kg
3. How far away is the sun? Answer: 94.001 million mi.
4. What is a black hole? Answer: A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
5. How do airplanes fly? Answer: A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky. The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward
6. How do flies walk on the ceiling? Answer: On the underside of each foot are two tiny claws on which the fly walks in a tiptoe manner. Under the claws are pads which give off a sticky liquid, It is these sticky pads which cling to the surface on which the fly is walking.
7. How are rainbows made? Answer: A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
8. Are sharks mammals? Answer: No they are not mammals, although sharks give birth to their young ones like mammals, they are species of fish and not mammal. They are however classified as mammals because they feed their young ones on milk from their mammary glands which the sharks do not. So the answer is no they are not mammals.
9. Why can I see the moon during the day? Answer: We can see the moon during the day for the same reason we see the moon at night. The surface of the moon is reflecting the sun's light into our eyes. ... When we see the moon during the day it's because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it's reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky
10. Why do birds fly south for the winter? Answer: Birds that nest in the Northern Hemisphere tend to migrate northward in the spring to take advantage of burgeoning insect populations, budding plants and an abundance of nesting locations. As winter approaches and the availability of insects and other food drops, the birds move south again

Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community. Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.

D. Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.
Answer:
D. Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.
Explanation:
Considering that "A Quilt of a Country" was written after the 9/11 attacks, the author Anna Quindlen manifests against world wars and directs attention to America's reaction against the "common enemy." In this way, she claims that groups of Americans who have different nationalities and races, such as African-Americans, Mexican-Americans and Irish-Americans, have been unified by the circumstances of the terrorist attacks.
