Read the excerpt from John Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and answer the question. [1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion. [2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt. [3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower … In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, explain

Answers

Answer 1

presents endless possibilities to experience and appreciate . This is the correct option. The author, John Muir , refers to this idea when he says: "....and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. ...were welcomed as friends. " The words abounding and inexhaustible refer to endless possibilties. He also uses the phrase spiritual beauty bread. This means that nature can be eaten like bread and the taste of nature can be tasted or appreciated. Plants, storms , thunderstorms and winds in the woods  are in the beauty bread.

These options are not right:

-is filled with countless opportunities to discover rare plants. The writer sets the focus on nature as a whole not just on plants.

-needs to be conquered and controlled by human exploration. The writer enjoys nature ; he is not interested in controlling it.

-offers many unique challenges for the mind, body, and spirit. The writer enjoys nature ; he does not see it as challenging.

right answer^^

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

• A company says that a wide range of products can be used with its product, which is not actually true. = vendor lock in.

• A group of companies agrees to charge the same inflated price for a good. = price fixing

Price fixing is when producers or suppliers agree to sell a product at a particular price which is fixed. Price fixing brings about high prices of goods and also fosters unfair competition.

• A large company charges a price below production cost in order to eliminate small competitors = predatory pricing

Predatory pricing simply refers to an illegal act by companies whereby prices are set low in order to remove competition from others. Antitrust laws are violated through predatory pricing due to the fact that it can lead to monopoly.

Be not dismayed that her unmoved mind
Doth still persist in her rebellious pride:
And love not like to lusts of baser kind,
The harder won, the firmer will abide.
The durefull Oak, whose sap is not yet dried,
Is long ere it conceive the kindling fire:
But when it once doth burn, it doth divide,
Great heat, and makes his flames to heaven aspire.
So hard it is to kindle new desire,
In gentle breast that shall endure for ever:
Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire
With chaste affects that naught but death can sever.
Then think not long in taking little pain,
To knit the knot that ever shall remain.

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.

“The best things in life are free” is an ancient proverb which has a deep hidden meaning. This proverb relates to all the things money cannot buy. This proverb is closely related with the proverb “money cannot buy happiness”. When we are born on this Earth, the almighty blesses us with a full – fledged family. This family consisting of our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and siblings is a blessing showered by the almighty on each and every individual.

However rich an individual might grow, he cannot buy these relations. This is a universal fact known to one and all. Another important fact is that one cannot buy happiness.

Happiness comes as a result of appreciating smaller things in life instead of crying for bigger things in order to gain happiness. An individual who is alone in his 10,000 square feet mansion can never be as happy as an individual who stays with his family and kids in a 1000 square feet home. A BMW is useless if you have no one beside you whereas you can stay happy travelling in a public transport if you are with the people you love.

The proverb “The best things in life are free” also stresses the importance of another significant fact; it is extremely essential for any individual to spend time with his family apart from working all day long.

What is the use of money which does not even permits you to spend quality time with the people you love. When you will be left alone, the money will not sooth your heart, it is your family, your friends; the people you love who will prove to be instrumental in bringing out the happiness from your inside.

An expensive bed cannot help you to sleep peacefully and on the other hand an individual sleeping on the road side can have an amazing sleep; the reason is sleep will not come with money, it will come with peace of mind and this peace of mind comes free.

Yes! money does help in buying things which can be instrumental in bringing about happiness but money cannot buy family and family love. It is god’s gift and it comes for free. The deep meaning that this proverb tries to explain is that instead of searching happiness by the means of monetary pleasures, it is essential to understand the fact that God has already gifted the best thing to all of us without any cost; in form of free blessings which every individual is endowed with.

So it is essential that one always remains happy and content with his or her life because you can buy things but not the best things. Life on Earth will be heavenly once an individual understands and abides by this simple fact of life.
