The editorial points out "how many hoops students must jump through"
just to graduate. Because the writer seems to be criticizing these hoops,
what would you expect him to argue for?
A)
for schools to create more testing requirements
B)
for test preparation classes to be required for every
student
for standards to be raised to ensure a strenuous
program of study
D)
for graduation requirements to be reduced so
students aren't so stressed out

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

He is making the case for fewer graduation requirement so that students won't feel as pressured. Option (D) is a right solution as a result.

State or local school districts set the graduation requirement. How well children are being prepared for the demands of a global economy can be judged by how many of them graduate from high school with a standard diploma.

States and districts have strengthened their graduation requirements since the 1980s to incorporate more demanding academic curriculum in line with the stringent academic pressured content standards imposed by states.

Federally mandated accountability uses a metric known as the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate to account for state graduation rates (ACGR).

Answers

Answers and Explanations:

1. In these lines, Friar Lawrence is essentially scolding Romeo for forgetting about Rosalind so soon. Lawrence thinks Romeo is moving on too quickly, which isn't the most proper. We can tell from the lines that say "Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here?" that Lawrence is quite shocked by this sudden change of heart of Romeo, and we can infer from the situation that he's likely a little bit disappointed in Romeo's fleeting love. In fact, it's possible that the friar doesn't believe Romeo understands deep, real love.

2. Friar Lawrence only agrees because he thinks the marriage of Romeo from the Montagues and Juliet from the Capulets will convince the two warring families to settle their differences and actually achieve peace. We can see this from the lines that say: "For this alliance may so happy prove / To turn your households' rancor to pure love". In other words, Lawrence hopes that Romeo and Juliet's love will change the two patriarchs' minds about each other and each other's families.

3. Usually the relationship between a father and a son is quite good. The fact that the friar and Romeo refer to each other as such indicates that the two are very close: Romeo knows he can rely on the friar for wise, fatherly advice, and the friar thinks fondly of Romeo.

Why do you think Hillenbrand describes what the airmen fear in such detail? What does it help the reader understand about Louie and the men he served with?

Answers

Answer:

It knowing the airmen's fears it enable us to identify on a basic or normal level.

With books that are good, the reader wants to recognize strongly with the characters.

Explanation:

With good books, the reader wants to strongly recognize with the characters, so good writers highlights certain traits they feel will resonate with others.

In Seabiscuit, Hillenbrand made  characters strong around the horse who were examples of  fears and universal hopes  common to most of us.

In the crucible of war, actions are heightened by the see-sawing emotions brought on by death and life experiences.

By understanding the airmen’s fears in greater depth makes us to identify on a very basic level. The airmen are of each on dissimilar but universal in their fears of death and what it means to themselves, their families and comrades.

Explain whether her friends’ zombie trick helped the main character feel mentally prepared for the “Zombie 5K.” Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Her friends’ zombie trick did help the main character feel more mentally prepared for the “Zombie 5K.” Before her friends helped her out, she did not know what it would feel like to run while being chased by zombies. At the end of the story, she knows that she can complete the physical tasks of the race even while panicking and being chased. The text indicates this when Kristen says the main character “owned” the obstacle course while under pressure; the main character agrees and says she is not nervous about the race anymore. The fact that she says “anymore” indicates that she was nervous about the race before the zombie chase, but not now. This shows that she feels mentally prepared. The main character also starts laughing after she realizes how well she handled the obstacle course, even though she had been scared in the moment—this too indicates mental preparedness.
