We had trouble finding our way through the fog. Nights at sea were dark, but nights spent sailing through bad weather were exceptionally dark. It was when we looked up and saw the St. Elmo's fire burning around our mast that we knew we had to keep going. We were all amazed by this natural phenomenon caused by static electricity clinging to the ship's mast. It appeared to light our way in the blackest of nights, and, by its light, we fought against the storm and made our way into the marina. We all hoped that we'd never face something that scary again, but I know that if I must, I have Mother Nature's light giving me the power to persevere.
In this passage, the St. Elmo's Fire is a symbol of
A.
endurance because it boosts the sailors' strength.
B.
despair because it breaks the sailors' hearts.
C.
ignorance because it shows the sailors' neglect.
D.
kindness because it warms the sailors' bodies.
HELP ME PLEASE
In the passage, St. Elmo's Fire is a symbol of kindness because it warms the sailors' bodies. The correct option is D.
What is the passage about?The electric field at St. Elmo's fire allows the creation of plasma at the ends, which causes the characteristic luminosity of this object.
It is true that the electric field is stronger at the ends of the pointed objects, and that is the reason why these objects manage to accumulate large amounts of charge at their ends.
Often, this accumulation is so large that it allows the ends of sharp objects to remove electrons from atoms in the air. This process promotes the creation of plasma, which allows the visualization of luminosity at the ends of sharp objects, as it is possible to see in St. Elmo's fire.
Therefore, the correct option is D. kindness because it warms the sailors' bodies.

Imagine that your friend does not know how to make inferences. How would you explain to them the steps to create good inferences?
Answer:
the best way I would explain it to them is by telling them to take an educated guess. And to use clues based on what they want to find out. for example they want to know what the word extrodinary means. so in order to find out what it means they have to read the sentence over and see how the word is being used. then they can make an inference and take a good guess.

I am proud to say that Patrick Henry's motto is mine - "Give me Liberty or give me Death." I am frank to declare that it is my fixed and changeless purpose to kill any so-called man who attempts to enslave me or mine, if possible, though it be Millard Fillmore himself. To do this, in defense of personal liberty, to my mind, would be an act of the highest virtue, and white Americans must be real hypocrites if they say not to it - amen!
I am ready, willing, and should rejoice to die; and I glory in the fact that so many of my brethren are of the same mind, and feel determined to be sacrificed rather than be enslaved.

9. Put your garbage in the can.
10. Is it time to take action?
11. Should we start picking up litter today?
Explanation:
9. You remove "should" because it makes the sentence a suggestion, not a command. Then, you remove "you" because otherwise the sentence would not be grammatically correct.
10. You switch "is" and "it" because when there is a modal verb, you invert the order to form yes or no questions.
Example: She is a firefighter. -> Is she a firefighter?
11. We use "should" to ask what is the ideal or best thing to do. In this case, the question is asking whether it is ideal to start picking up litter today.

PARAGRAPH ANSWER: How is "The Fall of the House of Usher" a classic
Gothic Tale? What elements does Poe use to add to the suspense?
Remember, a Gothic Tale includes the following elements: 1. Set in a
haunted castle or house. 2. A damsel (girl) in distress. 3. An atmosphere
of mystery and suspense. 4. There is a ghost or monster. 5. The weather
is always awful. 6. Dreaming/nightmares. 7. Burdened male protagonist
(main character) *
Answer: "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a classic Gothic Tale since Edgar Allan Poe includes all of the 7 main elements.
Explanation: What makes the story a genuine gothic story is that it fulfills all the important elements, such as the hunted house (Usher's mansion), the damsel in distress (Usher's sister coming as a suffering soul from being buried alive), an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, (the narrator witnessing the strange behaviors of his childhood friend and the noises heard), a monster (the gothic fate that the characters possess), the awful weather (decaying trees and dark day), nightmares (Usher's paranoic attitude), and burdened male protagonist (the scared narrator).
