Answer:
PART A: How does meeting the old man in prison most affect Nnamabia?
A. It makes Nnamabia understand the extent of injustice present in the prison system.
Explanation:
Nnamabia is the spoilt and mischievous first son of his parents, who live in the university town of Nsukka. The father is a professor at the university. Note: in Nigeria, many first sons are spoilt. Is it the same in your clime?
Spoilt by his mother as the first son, Nnamabia commits many crimes which finally landed him in prison. In Cell One, he met an old man being unjustly abused and maltreated by the prison guards. This maltreatment enraged Nnamabia, prompting him to caution the guards. This singular act landed him into more trouble and hardship with the guards.
It is the meeting with the old man and his reactions to the guards, including subsequent punishment meted to him that finally made Nnamabia to understand the injustice present in the Nigerian prison system.

Part B which details from the text best supports the answer to part a former red bow
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and answer the question that follows:
Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.
The author states, "I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home." What is the author's implicit message in this statement?
(10 points)
Group of answer choices
The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice.
The author thought Merlin's voice should seem like it is hooting.
The author wished he had thought of Merlin's voice sooner.
The author knew the owl would bring Merlin's voice to life.
Answer:
the author's implicit message in this statement"I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home." Is:
The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice.
Explanation:
First of all in this answer the author is clearly making use of his imagination to say that Merlin's voice should have been similar to the owl. Therefore we have only two options. The first says that Merlin's voice should have the same qualities o the owl's voice. The author here is wishing instead of knowing the voice. The second option says that Merlin's voice should seem like it is hooting as the author actually knew Merlin's voice. While it is a fictional character as he states.

What if we let children fully move their bodies during recess time, let them get dirty, and even test out new theories? What would recess look like then?
The closest I found to doing just that was the Swanson School in Auckland, New Zealand. I had heard of its nonconventional, yet successful approach to recess through social media and was instantly intrigued.
–"How Schools Ruined Recess—and Four Things Needed to Fix It,"
Angela Hanscom
Newspaper Article
She said the LiiNK Project was a perfect fit for her school because it provides not just academic benefits but behavioral and psychological ones as well.
"While I was certainly intrigued by the academic and behavioral benefits, it was the psychological benefits such as increasing emotional resiliency, increasing imagination and creativity, and promoting the development of self-confidence that I felt would be a game-changer for my students."
–"Why Some Schools Are Sending Kids Out for Recess Four Times a Day,"

3. Reflect on the Langston Hughes poem Silence. Identify some evidence in the poem that explains OR describes something about main character Ned. Include specific evidence from the text. Write 3-4 sentences.
Answer: In the Code Talker Ned was a navajos and he wanted to learn about white people culture, language, but I think Ned didn’t know how to speak in english, so I think he decided to become a code talker. In the poem it says, I catch the pattern of your silences before you speak, which means he didn’t know white’s people language to learn about them but he still was successful in his work. For example, Ned is a Navajo Indian who is very intelligent. He loves to study and would like to be a teacher when he grows up. Instead he is planning on fighting in the war. Ned becomes a Marine at age 16 and he becomes a Code Talker.
: Ned was a navajos in the Code Talker and he tried to know about the world of white people, the language, but I don't think Ned understood how to speak English, so I think he preferred to become a code speaker. In the poem it says, before you speak, I catch the pattern of your silences, which means that he did not know the language of white people to learn about them but he was still successful in his work. For instance, Ned is a very knowledgeable Navajo Indian. He loves to study and, when he grows up, wants to be a teacher. Instead he is planning a battle. By the age of 16 Ned becomes a Sailor, and becomes a Code Talker.
Answer:
Well, here's the poem:
"I catch the pattern
Of your silence
Before you speak
I do not need
To hear a word.
In your silence
Every tone I seek
Is heard."
This implies that though Ned doesn't know English, he can still use Code Talk.
Sorry if this doesn't help much... :)

What is jealousy?Jealousy is a complicated emotion that includes emotions like mistrust, fury, fear, and shame. It affects people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations and is most frequently sparked when a person feels threatened by a third party in a valued connection. The danger might be actual or hypothetical.
It's common to think about jealousy in the context of romantic relationships. The feeling, though, may appear in practically any kind of human connection, from colleagues seeking to win over a respected boss to siblings vying for parental attention.
Even though it is a terrible feeling, evolutionary psychologists believe that jealousy is a signal or a wake-up call that a valuable connection is in jeopardy and that action is required to win back a partner's or friend's devotion. Because it sustains social links and encourages people to act in ways that preserve significant relationships, envy is therefore viewed as an essential emotion.

1. Why is the sky blue?
2. How much does the earth weigh?
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
