Read the passage and answer the question.
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
Why does the author use the word "prize" to describe the bloom of the yucca tree (line 9)?
To communicate how rare it is to find the bloom
To emphasize the deliciousness of the bloom
To highlight the color and shape of the bloom
To show how to prepare the bloom for eating
Answer:
b

After a fifteen-hour train journey, he lugged his heavy baggage through the thick white drifts into the town, down an avenue of plane trees, through red stone towers, to the Hotel Carrel, where he rented a room for five francs a night-too much money, in his opinion, and no warmth anywhere.

in your own words define “inalienable” and give an example
Answer:
Inalienable means that which is inseparable from another. Something that is inalienable cannot be forcefully taken. For example, "Africans are inalienable from their cultural roots".
Explanation:
That which is inalienable cannot be easily taken from the original possessor. It is a fundamental right of such a person. The American constitution mentions three of those inalienable rights. They include the rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. This means that these rights are fundamental to the lives of all citizens in America.
Any attempt to forcefully usurp this fundamental rights of any citizen amounts to a breach of their inalienable rights and could also warrant a judicial punishment.

Review the following excerpt and bar graph from the text. “By 1889, the bicycles had air-filled tires, resulting in a much smoother ride. Within a decade, the production of bicycles quintupled.” The bar graph accompanies the text to help readers understand how many bikes were produced between 1889 and 1899. Which of the following formatting, graphics, or multimedia elements would provide additional, related information to help readers understand other sections of the text? Select all that apply. (1) A slideshow with photos of bicycle models to accompany this statement: “Walk into a bicycle shop and you will be met with nearly unlimited choices. Bicycles come in various models, including racers, mountain bikes, hybrids, BMX, and even collapsible models that can be folded into the size of a duffle bag.” (2) A photo of the Draisienne to accompany this statement: “In 1817, [Baron von Drais] built the Draisienne, a machine similar to the modern bicycle. It had an armrest, a padded saddle, or seat, and two in-line wheels of the same size. However, the Draisienne was quite unlike the modern bicycle.” (3) An interactive map showing the German home of Baron von Drais and the route he took to Paris with his invention, to accompany this statement: “Credit for patenting the modern bicycle’s ancestor goes to Baron von Drais, a German inventor. . . . Drais took his invention to Paris in 1818, where it acquired the name ‘velocipede,’ meaning ‘fast foot.’” (4) A diagram showing the different layers found in a rubber tire to accompany this statement: “People first began to use the word bicycle in 1869, the same year that solid rubber tires replaced the ‘boneshaker’s’ metal wheels.” (5) A map showing the top five bike-owning countries and the approximate number of bikes that exist in each country, to accompany this statement: “Today, manufacturers build around one hundred million bicycles each year. A single country, China, is home to more than one-half billion bikes.”

Hello. Although you have presented the text to which this question refers, you have not presented the question itself, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, to try to help you, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope this will be useful.
As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare that tells the tragic story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet, that, although they love each other, they belong to enemy families. In the city where Romeo and Juliet live, there is a law that anyone who kills someone on the street will be killed. Well, Romeo killed Julieta's cousin, after being teased by him and after he married her, without the family of any of them knowing. In order not to be killed, he flees the city and Juliet is in tears for the death of her cousin and for the exile of her husband.
The scene shown above, shows the moment when Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, watches her daughter cry in despair. Lady Capulet does not know that Juliet married Romeo and thinks that her daughter is crying solely for the death of her cousin. This is an example of dramatic irony, which occurs when the audience knows about something, but the characters don't. That's because while the audience knows the real reason Juliet is crying, her mother doesn't know.
Answer:
B. Juliet is relieved to know that Romeo is safe from harm.

Please help!!
Answer:
City Living vs. Country Living
There are many advantages and disadvantages of choosing to live in the country or to live in the city. But the advantages of living in the country definitely outweigh the advantages of living in the city.
In the city, public schools are often packed full of students resulting in larger class sizes and no real teacher student relationship. You would be lucky if your teacher could put a name to your face. Though, bigger schools in the city offer more courses for the student to take and also offer more extracurricular activities. Where in the country, public schools often do not have many students making class sizes significantly smaller resulting in a better teacher student relationship. Your teacher usually knows you by first and last name, and chances are, your teacher had a few of your family members as students. Though these things are advantages, school in rural areas generally do not offer as many courses and also do not have as many extracurricular...
