What does "Perfect is the Enemy of Good" mean to you?

Perfect is the enemy of good, but what does that mean? Answer thoughtfully in a paragraph.

Answer:

Perfect is the enemy of good means to me that we as people can try so hard to be perfect that we will break down and push away whoever we need to so we can reach this impossible perfection. As people in society, we feel the want and need to give this false air of perfection. But to achieve this we usually push away our loved ones and break some sort of moral code shattering the good that we once were. to try to achieve this unachievable perfection. But in reality, we should just try to preserve our good and be ourselves

Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.

Victoria read the following essay about environmental issues for a research project on recycling. America could be greener. Yes, most individuals recycle, but America is still a wasteful nation. For example, restaurants, especially fast-food establishments, could provide clearly marked recycling bins for customers to separate their trash. Many plastic cups, utensils, and other materials could be thoroughly washed and reused. Retail outlets could enact a policy that requires customers to bring their own reusable bags or pay to purchase one at checkout. That way bags get reused over and over. Determine the effect of the author’s purpose on the text. A. The author wants to entertain readers, so she provides imaginative examples of ways to recycle. B. The author wants to persuade readers to change habits so she chooses specific examples of how America could become greener. C. The author wants to inform readers, so she writes with upbeat language to make the topic of recycling sound stimulating. D. The author wants to describe the situation to readers, so she uses opinionated language to express the idea that America is a wasteful nation.

Which idea is unsupported by the author’s main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments?


Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity

adapted from the National Park Service


Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in "tricks" that he used to amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real thing. He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world.

His famous kite experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string. Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after it took place, at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the experiment himself—an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story.
