Which two excerpts serve to entertain the reader?
Excerpt 1
I lay in bed, quivering underneath my blankets,
staring up at the ceiling above me. I heard the pattering of feet, like a small child running on
tiptoe. I turned onto my side and closed my eyes. Something was in the attic.
"It's just my imagination." I said quietly.
Scenes from earlier that day played like a movie in my mind. I saw my family's car turning off the highway. I watched as our car turned onto a
winding road. The sky was cloudy, and the wind rustled through the Spanish moss hanging from the cypress trees. We drove into the
....
darkness of the trees' shadows.
Excerpt 2
The earth's natural resources are being depleted rapidly. Millions of tons of waste are generated each year, and much of this waste will be
disposed of in landfills and burned in furnaces. This waste takes a heavy toll on natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals, which
are not easily replaced. If you consider it burning reusable materials is like burning money: neither can ever be used again. By using recycled
materials such as paper and aluminum to make new products and packaging, we can reduce the consumption of natural resources. Recycling
can even produce better products than those made from non recycled materials.
Excerpt 3

On hot days, Doodle and I went down to Horsehead Landing and I gave him swimming lessons or showed him how to row a boat. Sometimes we descended into the cool greenness of Old Woman Swamp and climbed the rope vines or boxed scientifically beneath the pine where he had learned to walk. Promise hung about us like the leaves, and wherever we looked, ferns unfurled and birds broke into song. The Scarlet Ibis," James Hurst Which phrases emphasize that Old Woman Swamp is a symbol of paradise for the boys? Check all that apply. "went down to Horsehead Landing" "gave him swimming lessons" "descended into the cool greenness" "promise hung about us like the leaves" "birds broke into song"
Answer:
"descended into the cool greenness"
"birds broke into song"
Explanation:
The sentences presented above show how Horsehead Landing expressed a feeling that the boys were in a paradise. We can see this because the narrator shows that the boys could hear the birds singing and visualize a referential and vivacious green in the place. These two elements convey the feeling of tranquility, peace and happiness that only a paradise can promote.

How can I improve in written communication
Answer:
If you want to improve your written communication skills, then you should "think" a lot before you start writing. To write clearly and nicely, you have to think clearly. Consequently, before you begin writing, take a step back, and line up and gather your thoughts on whatever it is that you have to write about. Another thing that you should do, as overused this may be, you need to "read and write" a lot, in great volumes. For reading, find works or books that excite you or interest you. If you read a book that you like or find interesting to read, you are most likely to read more books and enjoy the act of reading. This will help you with your writing process. When you read, you will find yourself thinking of all the things you could've done different from the author, had you been the story writer. You will want to write and do things your way. Start writing just one paragraph, it can be about anything really, every day. You'll notice a difference soon after you start.

Which synonym best replaces the word labyrinth in the sentence below?
The gardeners had constructed a complicated labyrinth of pathways that led us through the hedges.
entanglement
jungle
maze
web
The synonym that best replaces the word labyrinth in the sentence below is a maze. The correct option is c.
What is a synonym?A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language.
The standard test for synonymy is substitution: one form can be replaced by another in a sentence without changing its meaning. Words are considered synonymous in only one particular sense: for example, long and extended in the context long time or extended time are synonymous, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family. Synonyms with exactly the same meaning share a seme or denotational sememe, whereas those with inexactly similar meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe and thus overlap within a semantic field.
The former are sometimes called cognitive synonyms and the latter, near-synonyms, plesionyms or poecilonyms.

Hello! A Homophone is a word that is pronounced the same, but has a different meaning, and it also must have different spelling.
A and B are both automatically incorrect because they do not fit the first requirements. C is incorrect because it is spelled the same way, which does not fit the second requirement. This means that Bear/Bare must be the correct answer. They are both pronounced the same way, yet they have different meanings and different spelling.
I hope this helps! :)

3. In July of that year the bulk of the fleet reached a small island off the coast of Virginia that was called Roanoke. After building a small fort on the north side of the island, the colonists initiated relations with a Native American tribe that lived on the island, the Aquascogoc. These natives showed little interest in building relations with the English colonists, and they soon parted company. After this encounter, however, the English noticed that one of their silver cups had gone missing, and they attributed its disappearance to the Aquascogoc. Grenville, the English captain, was furious. He believed that the Aquascogoc had stolen the silver cup. Whether or not this was true, angry exchanges followed and soon the English burned the Aquascogoc village. The English held their fort against the subsequent attacks of the natives.
summarise the most important part in the text
Answer:
The English built a small fort on a small island off the coast of Virginia. The Aquascogoc, a Native American tribe, showed little interest in building relations with the English. Eventually, the English burned down the tribe's village after an argument over a stolen silver cup.
Explanation:
-
The Brits built a modest fort on a small island off the coast of Virginia. The Aquascogoc, a Native American tribe, had no desire to make contact with the English. The Brits finally burned down the tribe's village during a dispute over a stolen silver cup.
What is a fort ?Forts are a well-known type of landmark all across the world. Apart from houses of worship, they also form some of the most ancient historical structures. The term "fort" derives from the Latin root fortis or forte, which meaning "strong" or "firm." Durg is the indigenous term for "fort," which is supposed to be derived from the Sanskrit word durgam, which means "tough." As a result, a fort may be defined as any building used or developed to defend an area by resisting foreign invasions.
Some of the oldest fortifications were not "constructed" in the traditional sense. They were made up of natural defences such as woods, rivers, and hills. Forts have historically been constructed utilising locally accessible materials and based on modern technological skills. The physical landscape of an area was also important in the construction of forts. For example, rugged terrains inspired the development of hill forts. In contrast, lengthy and huge walls around villages were built in the plains. Walls encompassed vast regions of population in early civilizations.
