Answer:
Many people feel that Krakauer was rather sympathetic if not outright biased towards Chris. In his writing some people find is a certain heroic slant to Chris's story. I think the novel becomes more readable not because of bias but rather that Krakauer understands MCandless. He sees in Chris similar motivations and attitudes as he had as a young man. This gives the book a depth of meaning because Krakauer is a great writer and Chris somehow inhabits parts of Krakauer's belief system. I think Krakauer is critical of Chris when it comes to Chris's treatment of his family. I think, however, that there are the sensibilities of a kindred spirit going on here that gives us a unique access into Chris's world.

Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; The poem’s allusion to the 1981 Brixton riot illustrates what the streets and buildings of Brixton looked like. suggests that many different historical riots will be mentioned. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem’s subject matter. makes the reader feel confused about the historical reference.
Answer:
The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:
C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.
Explanation:
This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.
The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.
The poem’s allusion to the 1981 Brixton riot B. Illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem’s subject matter.
What is an allusion?An allusion simply means the expression that is designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly.
In this case, the poem’s allusion to the 1981 Brixton riot illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem’s subject matter.

Which of the following best states the author’s overall purpose in this text?
To inform the reader of how we can begin predicting the future
To persuade the reader to accept Strauss & Howe’s generational theory
To persuade the reader that Strauss & Howe’s generational theory is incorrect
To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do
Answer:
The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:
D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.
Explanation:
I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).
According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.
According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.
"What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," is the article by Mike Kubic. By this text, the author explains to the readers about the act of the generations.
What is the article by Mike Kubic about?This article portrays the people and the ways and acts they perform under certain circumstances. It tells about then past mistakes and how they can be amended in the future.
A theory was developed by Strauss and Howe that indicates the behaviour of the generations. The factors like respect, individualism, economy etc. are the traits based on which the generations react.
Therefore, option D. informs the reader about the generation's acts and ways is the purpose of the text.

Shweta and Juan are 20-year-old high school graduates with a 3-year-old daughter, Lia. Juan works on the help desk solving customer IT (information technology) issues for a small company. He has $340 in child support withheld from his wages every month. Shweta works part-time and is attending community college to become a nurse. Shweta depends on the child support from Juan to pay for child care and other monthly bills. Two months ago Juan got laid off and hasn’t been able to find another job. Without money for child care, Shweta has been missing some of her classes. Juan has begun to receive past-due notices from the child support office. He wants to pay but doesn’t have the money. He’s stopped spending time with Lia because he’s embarrassed about not having any money. Shweta is frustrated with Juan because he’s not providing any money and not spending time with Lia. What can Shweta and Juan do about their situation?
Answer:
The best thing Juan can do is not be embarrassed even though he got laid back which is nothing to be embarrassed about, it happens. He needs to learn how to communicate better with his lady Shweta. Talking to her about it will make her less angry and less stressed. On top of that, her speaking on her part about her classes will also make Juan more aware, and maybe want to look for other jobs and take in part-time and or full-time. Them talking it out and understanding both sides will make them come up with a solution together for their baby.

But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories.
Symptoms
by John Steinbeck (excerpt)
During the years between the last war and this one, I was always puzzled by the reticence of ex-soldiers about their experiences in battle. If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field.
Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.
Read the excerpts, paying special attention to the underlined sections. How does the theme differ in the two excerpts?
1 While "Ambush" deals with a soldier struggling to come to terms with his experiences, "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have become so apathetic that they no longer try to understand their experiences.
2 "Ambush" talks of a soldier who can’t share his feelings with his daughter but hopes to someday, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war.
3 "Ambush" deals with a soldier who is afraid of forgetting the war and who deals with his fear by writing down the stories, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who deliberately suppress all their painful memories of the war experience.
4 In "Ambush," the narrator works out his negative emotions about the war by confiding in his loved ones; in "Symptoms," the soldiers are unable to work out their negative emotions because they have completely forgotten their experiences.
Answer:
Your answer is option 2 which is "Ambush" talks of a soldier who can’t share his feelings with his daughter but hopes to someday, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war.
The evidence for my answer can be found in the following parts:
"Ambush" - Someday, I hope, she'll ask again.
(This is where the soldier hopes his daughter asks him about his war experiences later)
"Symptoms" - They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.
(This shows that the soldiers have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war)

Before I initiated sentence combining practice my students mainly saw the revision process as one of editing. They seemed to operate under a least effort strategy, meaning, they changed what was easiest to change. So they conducted "housekeeping" by fixing spelling, capitalization, formatting, and perhaps punctuation rather than engaging in what revising should have been, namely molding the sound of text to make a message clearer or providing an audience with what they need to know. But after sentence combining practice the number of revisions climbed. My students were changing words, adding phrases and clauses, and re-working entire sentences
Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions about it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what this text means.
Generally speaking, we can state that the text presents how to make students review texts frequently, can improve the ability of these students to proofread and edit a text, making the text more coherent and fluid, with the modification of the entire structure and text composition. The text above reinforces that this is a result of repeated revisions, which shows that the more revisions students do, the more efficient their ability to edit a text efficiently.

what methods can you use to better support your inferences and interpretations of a text as a whole? how are these methods different for literary and informational texts
Answer:
Some methods that can help improve the inferences of a text are:
Use context clues.Make summaries.Write the most important topics.Analyze research sources.Explanation:
Inferences are conclusions that we can draw from a text after reading it. While some texts can easily make inferences, other texts can be more complex. In this case, it is necessary that some methods are used to help the reader understand the text better and thus provide a good inference.
For both literary texts and informative texts, the use of context clues is very efficient, as context clues prevent the flow of reading from being broken, as they allow the reader to understand difficult or unknown words through the context of the sentence or the paragraph to which these words are related. Other efficient methods for these two types of texts are the elaboration of summaries and the listing of the most important topics presented in the text.
Analyzing research sources, on the other hand, will only be efficient in informative texts, as it allows the information in that text to be extended, as research sources present more complete and comprehensive information and can facilitate the process of completing the text.
Daniel perused the college catalogs for the hundredth time. Both universities had numerous selling points; they both had superior
reputations for their academic programs and both offered campus settings that fit his lifestyle. The only clear difference he could find between the
schools was location. One university was only an hour from home while the other was across the country. Daniel had tossed this thought around
for months while attempting to decide whether he wanted to stay so close to home, where visits would be easy, or if he was really prepared to go
across country, where visits would be limited to major holidays. Tomorrow was his final opportunity to accept or reject each school. It was time to
get out of limbo and move forward with a firm decision.
Dictionary
limbo n.
1. place of confinement
2. state of neglect
3. transitional location
4. state of uncertainty
Which meaning of limbo is used in the passage?
Answer:
The meaning of limbo as used in the passage is:
4. state of uncertainty.
Explanation:
This question is testing our ability to identify the correct meaning of a word according to the context. All four options provided present meanings for the word "limbo". But which one has the meaning that goes with the ideas presented in the text?
After reading the passage, we know that Daniel is undecided when it comes to which university to attend. He has been struggling with this choice for quite some time now since both universities offer him everything he wants. Thus, Daniel is in a limbo in the sense that he is in a place of uncertainty, of not knowing what to choose. With that in mind, we pick number 4 as the best option.
