Read this passage by Mawi Asgedom and answer the question that follows:

Hi, my name is Mawi Asgedom. I'm excited to offer this class to you for one simple reason. That's because I believe you are far more intelligent, far smarter than you know. And the reason I believe that is, I lived it in my own life. See, I was born in Ethiopia; in my homeland there was a war so I became a refugee and I had to come to this country when I was seven years old. I didn't know any English when I came. I went to first grade, it was really hard. I didn't know the alphabet, I didn't know what to do in class. I looked around and thought, man, I can't be successful like these other kids. My family had also grown up in poverty, grew up on welfare from first to twelfth grade, my father was legally blind. I thought I couldn't do it. Fast forward to eighth grade, I had a D in my math class; I got Cs in some of my classes. I got kicked off my basketball team, I had a lot of challenging problems, I didn't have a lot of confidence.

Well, in high school something changed. I acquired some study skills, my mindset changed. Guess what guys? I became an A student. I became a top athlete in sports. And in my senior year of high school, something incredible happened, I couldn't have imagined. I got over three hundred thousand dollars worth of scholarships, I got into every college I applied to. I ended up going to Harvard University, the number one university in the United States, some people say the world. When I was at Harvard, I got As while I was there.

What I figured out, what I learned, is that any student, of any background, can be successful, whether you are rich or poor. For those of you that are out there thinking, well Mawi, I'm not that smart, I can't make it, I'm always struggled in school. In this class, I'm going to show you how to achieve and do things you never thought possible in the classroom. You're going to find out you're a lot more intelligent, a lot smarter than you ever knew and I'm going to show you how. For those of you out there who are great students, who say Mawi I've already got this, guess what, I spent four years at Harvard with some of the best students on the planet and I learned a lot of things from my own journey too. I've worked with more than a million students over the last fifteen years and if you are a good student right now, I'm going to make you better. This class will make you better.

Read the following statement: Well, in high school something changed. I acquired some study skills, my mindset changed.

What evidence did Mawi use to support this statement?

He started earning A's, became a top athlete, and was accepted to Harvard.
He believes that any student, from any background, can become successful.
He got a D in math class, C's in other classes, and got kicked off the basketball team.
He was a refugee from Ethiopia, grew up in poverty, and had low self-confidence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The first option- He started earning A's, became a top athlete, and was accepted to Harvard.

Explanation:

He explains how his whole life up until high school he was failing classes and struggling in school. He supports his statement "Well, in high school something changed. I acquired some study skills, my mindset changed." with the fact that he started to get straight A's and he soon got accepted into Harvard.

Hope this helped you! Please give brainliest! And leave a thanks!

Answer:

We couldn't miss it, the enchanting sunset. It was quite a sight for us.

We couldn't take our eyes off it. You could say we were glued to the lovely blend of colors.  How could it be this appealing? None of us knew. It's not every day that you can get your friends and family to take a moment to watch the nightfall. It was truly a moment to treasure

The scenery was magical, it felt like.. the sun took our tense and locked up feelings away. You could do anything at that moment!

The sky was now a shade of red, but we all waited until darkness fell.

The sunset dipped below horizon. It was truly amazing.

That was the death of day, but no worries! The sun will come back tomorrow. When the sun rises and families wake up to singing birds and the new day knocking on their doors.

Where do giant pandas live?

Giant pandas live in the mountains in Central China. They like dense temperate forests with lots of bamboo. Right now scientists think that around 2000 pandas live in the wild in China. Most of the pandas that live in captivity, live in China. There are around (as of the writing of this article) 27 giant pandas that live in captivity outside China. Giant pandas are currently considered critically endangered animals, meaning they could go extinct if they are not protected.

What do giant pandas eat?

Giant pandas primarily eat bamboo, but they are carnivores meaning they do eat some meat. Besides bamboo, they will sometimes eat eggs, some small animals, and other plants. Since bamboo doesn't have a lot of nutrition, pandas have to eat a lot of bamboo to stay healthy. As a result, they end up spending most of the day eating. They have giant molars to help them crush the bamboo.

Is the giant panda dangerous?

Although the giant panda eats mostly bamboo and looks very cute and cuddly, it can be dangerous to humans.

How long do they live?

In zoos pandas have been reported to live as long as 35 years, but generally they live closer to 25 to 30 years. It is thought that they do not live as long in the wild.

Where can I see a giant panda?

In the United States there are currently four zoos that have giant pandas. These include the San Diego Zoo in San Diego, CA; the National Zoo in Washington DC; Zoo Atlanta in Atlanta, GA; and the Memphis Zoo in Memphis, TN. Other zoos with Pandas throughout the world include Zoo Aquarium in Spain, Zoologischer Garten Berlin, Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico, and Ocean Park in Hong Kong.

i need this for today

Answers

(Sorry if this doesn't help or is hard to understand-)

Explanation:

Every person is different and have a mind of their own, so their reaction will be different from others depending in the situation. Each and every one of them have a fear of something, even if they don't want to admit it, something is always bothering them at the back of their minds.

And if one of their fears (such as; embarrassment, failure, abandonment, or death) is present in the situation at hand, they will freeze up and not know what to do. The human mind is something strange and it can be difficult to understand how someone, or yourself, feels about something and cause them, or you, not know what else you could do to help.

Fear can cause someone to not do something they desperately want or need to do, especially if the events are moving to fast for them to understand and makes them panic, sometimes even leading them to worry too much if it's their fault that they couldn't help.
