existing independently of perception or an individual's conceptions
Explanation:
It was my twelfth birthday. Thanks to my over-active imagination, I had convinced myself that my mom was going to get me a new skateboard. I could not contain my excitement. I really needed a new skateboard, and not because I was bored with my old one. My old skateboard was falling apart.
Upon waking up, I ran straight to my mom and asked her to give me my gift. She responded by telling me that I would have to wait until after I got home from school. She went on to say that if she told me what the gift was I would not be able to concentrate on my school work. Those words ensured that I would be so excited about getting my new skateboard that I would be unable to work.
After a whole day of counting down the minutes, I arrived home from school. My mom was nowhere to be found. I called her office but did not get an answer. She did not answer her cell phone either.
Just as my frustration was peaking, my mom pulled into the driveway. She stepped out of the car, asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
I excitedly blurted out, "You said I would get my present after school, and it is officially "after school.'"
"Oh, is that all? I assumed that you missed your dear mother," she teased. I later regretted my response. "No, that's not all! It's everything!" When I asked her where my gift was, she pointed at the J.C. Penney bag she held.
She told me, "It's a new suit for you to wear to church."
I muttered in disbelief, "But you said that if you told me about the gift, I would be thinking about it all day long."
My mom responded, "I didn't say you would be thinking about it because it's a great gift."

This is the sentence that you would most likely include in a summary of the story, and it is the most important. For most of the story, the twelve-year-old thinks about a new skateboard, so that's an important detail to include. xD

Which theme is common to the two excerpts
How is the excerpt an example of irony? Harrison
Answer:
A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the following passage of "Harrison Bergeron":
"And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains."
A. Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.
B. Handicapping intelligence is pointless because determining whether one’s intelligence is above normal is a matter of opinion.
C. If George were really that intelligent, he would remove the device from his ear.
D. The mental handicap radio is incapable of correcting physical advantages.
Irony is a literary device in which the outcome of the story is the opposite from what the reader would normally expect. In this case, the reader would normally assume that the government would consider intelligence to be a positive quality. Moreover, we would assume that the government would not want to interfere with it. However, in this society, the government wants people to be less intelligent, and goes to great lengths in order to achieve it.
The battle of boys boasting their supreme strength raged on.
This is an example of which literary device?
A) allusion B) alliteration C) hyperbole D) anapho
Answer: B alliteration
Explanation:
Because alliteration is the repetition of the same first letter of words like battle boys boasting
Read this excerpt from "The Big Shot." In her most recent test, she asked golfers who had just finished playing to find on a chart a black circle that was the same size as a cup on the green. She says, "What we found was that the golfers who scored better selected larger circles," adding that this suggests "that they perceive the hole as bigger." Golfers who didn't score as well chose smaller circles. Which type of image would best help readers understand the study being described and its conclusion? a photograph of a golf course with a bar graph over it showing the numbers of players who chose each black circle and the average scores of each group a drawing of the study’s black circles, each labeled with the number of players who chose it, and the average score of that group of players a photograph of a golf ball and the black circles on the chart, each labeled with its size, next to a dot plot showing each player’s score and chosen circle a drawing of a golf ball and a chart with different size black circles, each labeled with the number of players that chose it and the size of the circle
Option (c) or (iii) is the type of illustration that will best help readers grasp the study being discussed and its conclusion.
Which image describes the conclusion of the Big Shot?A snapshot of a golf ball and the black circles on the chart, each labeled with its size, adjacent to a dot plot indicating each player's score and chosen circle would be the ideal form of visual to help readers understand the study being discussed and its conclusion.

What is a short-term benefit for a company to regularly keeping wages low?
Employees find high job satisfaction.
Companies can expect a high turn-over.
Employees will become demoralized.
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Answer:
The company can keep costs to a minimum.
Explanation:
This is the advantage that such a strategy would have for a company in the short-term. A company that regularly keeps wages low is likely to save money initially. However, this strategy is not a successful one in the long term. Such a company would most likely have employees who are unhappy or unsatisfied with their job. It would also lead to a high turn-over due to employees being demoralized.

Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.
But now, because the landing was taking far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone. Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible only because they wanted him to make the landing. But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon.
When it comes time to set Eagle down in the Sea of Tranquility, Armstrong improvises, manually piloting the ship past an area littered with boulders. During the final seconds of descent, Eagle's computer is sounding alarms.
A reader can best combine the information in the excerpts to
A. understand that Neil Armstrong had to improvise the landing of the LM, named Eagle, while it was dangerously low on fuel.
B. understand that Neil Armstrong was not in control of the LM, named Eagle, while it was being landed on the moon.
C. understand that Neil Armstrong would crash the LM, named Eagle, if he ran out of fuel above the moon’s surface.
D. understand that Neil Armstrong had to pilot the LM, named Eagle, past an area on the moon littered with boulders.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A
B
C
D
The correct answer is C. Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.
Explanation:
The Barrymore family is an important family in the field of acting, which includes famous actors such as John Drew Barrymore, Diana Blanche Barrymore, and Drew Barrymore. In the case of Drew Barrymore, she is one of the youngest actresses of this family and was born on 1975. Besides this, Drew Barrymore is the daughter of John Drew Barrymore who was born in 1932, the granddaughter of John Barrymore who was born in 1882 and the great-granddaughter of Maurice Barrymore who was born in 1849 and migrated to the United States in 1874. This means Drew Barrymore was born 101 years after her great-grandfather Maurice immigrated to America, and therefore it is false she was born exactly 100 years after this event.
Answer:
C.) Drew Barrymore was born exactly 100 years after her great-grandfather, Maurice, immigrated to America.

Answer:

Explanation:
Which of the following best describes how the narrator describes nature, especially the cold?AThe narrator describes the cold as a pervasive, almost personified force.BThe narrator describes nature constantly changing and unpredictable.CThe narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.DThe narrator describes the cold as merely an element that can be easily conquered by men and fire.
This question is in reference to the short story "To Build a Fire", by Jack London.
Answer:
The options best suited for the way the narrator describes nature and the cold is:
C. The narrator describes nature, even the dog, as indifferent to the struggles of the man.
Explanation:
"To Build a Fire" is a short story by author Jack London in which a man learns a most valuable lesson at a very high cost. The main character ignores how powerful nature is, thinking too much of his own skills. He is new to the winter at the Yukon region and naive enough to forget his own weaknesses as a human being.
The narrator in the story makes it clear that nature is not concerned with man. Nature has no mind, it simply is, in a powerful manner. It is man who wishes to conquer nature but to no avail. Throughout the story, the man thinks to himself that "it is certainly cold". That's it. Simply put, no exaggeration, no personification.
The dog that accompanies the man, for instance, is merely confused by the man's lack of fear. The dog understands danger better than the man. Notice that it is indifferent toward this man. What concerns it is survival. The same goes for nature. It is relentless, unstoppable. The cold is still cold, even if it kills someone:
Never in the dog’s experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the evening grew darker, its eager longing for the fire mastered it. [...] Later, the dog howled loudly. And still later it moved close to the man and caught the smell of death. This made the animal back away. A little longer it delayed, howling under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky. Then it turned and ran along the trail toward the camp it knew, where there were the other food providers and fire providers.

When the end rhyme changes, the line is given a new
Answer:
When the end rhyme changes, the line is given a new scheme.
Explanation:
A rhyme scheme is a specific form of metric notation that describes the sequence of rhymes in an abstract form, that is, the sequence and type of correspondence in a stanza or poem.
Thus, if in a poem the sentences end in a certain letter or group of letters, the sound of which is pronounced in a similar way generating a rhyme, that set of sentences is part of the same rhyme scheme. By cutting that rhyme, and changing the ending letter or letters to follow this pattern, the rhyming scheme is being changed for a new one.
