Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
In the darkness there was a low sob and T.J., hardly sounding like T.J., mumbled, "They the ones got me in it. Where's the bed? I gotta sit down."
In the darkness he groped for the bed, his feet dragging as if he could hardly lift them. "I ain't no bed!" I exclaimed as his hands fell on me.
Which words from the excerpt best help the reader determine a tone of distress?
"exclaimed," "hands," and "feet"
"sob," "groped," and "dragging"
"darkness," "bed," and "lift"
"sounding," "sit," and "ain’t"
Answer:
The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:
B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.
In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag. Lighter words would be used to describe them. Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.
Answer: "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
distress means: extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain. You can tell by the words sob, groped and dragging that T.J. is upset which is another word for sorrow.

5. How does the theme of William Ernest Henley's poem “Invictus" relate to Arthur Miller's
play The Crucible? Identify at least two ways/examples.
Answer:
The common theme of poem 'Invictus' and play 'The Crucible' is fate and resilience.
Explanation:
"Invictus" is a poem written by William Ernest Henley. The poem is about the suffering or pains that the poet went through when he suffered from a bout with tuberculosis. The poem speaks about the times when a person goes through a dark and trying time and the ability of humans to overcome it. The main message of the poem or the theme is that human can control their fate through resilience.
This theme is evident in the last lines of the poem when the poet says that he is the master of his fate and his soul.
"I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."
"My head is bloody, but unbowed."
"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller based on the true incidents of the Salem witch trials. The theme of fate and resilience can also be seen this play in the last scene of the play, when Proctor decided to control his fate. In the last scene of the play, Proctor refuses to sign his name on the paper and be hung on the wall of the church. He decided not to sign, because he knew he was innocent, not in the sight of men but in God. He knew that there is a greater Judgment than this is coming, which will prove his innocence. Thus he takes control of his fate by choosing to be hunged than be shamed and lose his name.
"PROCTOR: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life. Because
I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name?
I have given you my soul, leave me my name!"
"PROCTOR: (Crossing slowly to Elizabeth, takes her hand for a moment.) Pray God it speak some goodness for me."

Children need lengthier recess sessions in order to reap the full benefits from the play session. They need ample time to move their body, to explore, to tinker, to problem-solve, to work through their emotions, and to dive deep into their imaginations. Short fifteen- to twenty-minute recess sessions often interrupt the children just as they are about to figure out who and what they are going to play.

One result of allowing kids more time for recess, [Principal McLain] said, has been increased instructional time "because the kids come back in and settle down and get to work because they know they will receive another recess before long." He also said teachers referred kids to the office for disciplinary action less often as a result of the program and found that "kids are solving their own problems much more independently."

Your question is incomplete, most probably the complete question is:
By 2020, however, there will be a significant change that will make DNA fingerprinting obsolete. The handful of markers used in DNA fingerprinting will give way to the infinitely more sophisticated personalized DNA sequences. Fingerprints may give us a match, but DNA may tell us what the person looked like and give us his or her medical history.
For example, by examining a single cell from a person’s dandruff, it is in principle possible (using the polymerase chain reaction process) to reconstruct the entire genome of an individual. Possessing the personalized DNA sequence, one can reconstruct important details of the person, including blood type, eye and hair color, sex, genetic diseases, general body shape, medical status, disposition to baldness, approximate height and weight, even body chemistry.
