What is a citation in research?

A "citation" is how you indicate your audience that a particular passage in your writing was taken from another source. It also provides your readers with the knowledge they need to locate.

The location information for that source on the reference or Works cited page. A pair of parenthesis must be used with every citation. One does not have an appropriate in-text citation and runs the risk of being accused of plagiarism without a set of parenthesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that option b is correct.

A!!!! I just took the test .

can someone write me a paragraph on homeschooling and how it’s more affective than public schools. (this paragraph talks abt how homeschoolers succeed more) also needs quotes and everything.

Answers

Answer:

You can touch it up by using Hemingway Editor. This is the best I could do in 10 minutes lol!

Explanation:

While you may think Public school is better for education, Homeschooling is better for many reasons. The most important thing that leads to success while being  homeschooled is the sense of responsibility and organization. In public school, you have teachers  that help you stay  on top of your work while at home, you have to learn maturity and time management. From The Homeschool Legal Defense Association  it says that “reports that homeschool students have a 30% higher GPA. The National Home Education Research Institute reports that, on average, homeschooled students have 15-30% higher grades than public school students.” Another great thing about being home schooled is about distractions. While yes, you may say that at home there are distractions like your parents or your dog, at school, there is a higher stress level. The website https://www.edutopia.org/ says “More holistically, though, social and emotional learning shouldn’t be seen as an add-on in high school, or be equated with a loss of academic rigor and instructional minutes: Self-care can actually become part of the curriculum—as some schools are recognizing.” While you may wonder why this has to do with being successful, people seem to struggle a lot when it comes to being social at school. I say as long as your kid is homeschooled and is able to be social as often as possible with other people, there is no reason for the extra stress at school which has proven to stress kids out and lower test grades and their overall GPA.

To Autumn
by John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.


Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.


Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Question 1
Part A

What inference can be drawn from "To Autumn"?


Autumn is a sad season, and the autumn of life is equally sad.

Autumn is simply a precursor to winter, and the autumn of life is a time of grief.

Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.

Autumn is a beautiful season, but spring is much preferred.
Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?


"Where are the songs of spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—"

"And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook; . . .
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours."

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . .
Conspiring . . . how to load and bless
With fruit the vines . . .
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

"Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;"

In the lady or the tiger which information about the princess is most important to help the reader decide whether she chooses the lady or the tiger

Answers

Answer:

The most important information is her semi-barbarian behavior.

Explanation:

"The lady or the tiger" was written by Frank Richard Stockton and tells the story of a semi-barbarian king who invented a system of justice where those accused of a crime should choose their destiny between two doors. Behind a door is a tiger that would devour him and behind the other door was a woman, who would absolve him of his crimes and marry him. The princess, daughter of that king, also exhibited semi-barbarian behavior and this is a very important characteristic about her, because one day, the man she was in love with, was accused of a crime, and had to submit to the system of justice idealized by her father. The princess doubts whether she will send the man she loves to death, or whether she will let him marry another woman.

Answer:

her semi-barbaric nature
