The comma is a tool to indicate to readers a certain separation of words, phrases, or ideas in order to prevent misreading the writer's intended meaning
Use a comma to separate independent clauses.Use a comma after an introductory clause or phrase.Use a comma between all items in a series.Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of
these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in
our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply bet the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children
are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't
best ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.
Which of these sentences from the passage most directly expresses the counterclaim? (5 points)
"We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to
"Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may
"Shielding our children from these mistakes) by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors."
"We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life."

Explanation:
: “I want to find that cowrie shell. I search through seaweed heaped upon the sand, but all I find are beer can rings and plastic bottle tops. “What do these lines show about the attitude of people towards nature?
I looked this question up to see if it had answer choices, but I wasn't able to find any. So I will give you a general answer that may help you in case it does have answer choices.
Answer and Explanation:
The sentence "I want to find that cowrie shell. I search through seaweed heaped upon the sand, but all I find are beer can rings and plastic bottle tops" shows people's disrespect toward nature. It is easier to find plastic everywhere than it is to find natural shells in heaps of seaweed.
Most people do not seem to care that our actions influence the whole delicate system of our planet. Our waste is usually not properly disposed of, and industries keep on producing materials that are not recyclable or degradable. This has a harmful impact over other beings. The can rings and bottle tops mentioned in the sentence, for instance, are polluting and destroying habitats. If swallowed by fish and birds, for example, they will most likely end up making them sick or even killing them.
Are Stories a Key to Human Intelligence?
How do paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the development of ideas in
the text? Cite evidence from the text in your answer.
Paragraph 1-2
In a talk in Pittsburgh in 1997, the late evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould allegedly characterized humans as “the primates who tell stories.” Psychologist Robyn Dawes went much further, suggesting humans are “the primates whose cognitive 1 capacity shuts down in the absence of a story.”
To be sure, we love a good story. Research suggests thatanecdotes 2 can be as persuasive as hard data, and that jurors are influenced by the quality of the prosecution’s and defense’s “stories” when deciding whether to find a defendant guilty. Even in science, we seekexplanations, not mere descriptions; in history, we want a goodnarrative, not a mere sequence of events.
Answer:
It tells us how stories can be important to humans.
Explanation:
Evidence: "Psychologist Robyn Dawes went much further, suggesting humans are...' the primates whose cognitive 1 capacity shuts down in the absence of a story'...
"...jurors are influenced by the quality of the prosecution’s and defense’s... 'stories'... when deciding whether to find a defendant guilty."
"Even in science, we seek explanations, not mere descriptions; in history, we want a good narrative, not a mere sequence of events."

Explanation:
Imagine you are a genetic scientist who has been asked to advise the president on whether or not this new procedure should be made legal. What do you say?
Hello. You did not provide the article to which this question is related. However, when researching your question on the internet, I was able to find a question exactly the same as yours that shows that the question refers to the article "Proposed Treatment to Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues" that shows the attempt of scientists to legally approve the practices to manipulate the DNA present in the maternal egg, to remove possible DNA errors that can cause genetic diseases in babies.
If I were one of the scientists on the team who wants to legalize this practice, I would try to argue against society's concerns about the problems that could arise from this manipulation.
A major concern that people have is that this practice generates "manufactured" babies. I would fight this fear, showing that we would only deal with DNAs that have flaws that can trigger diseases, that is, the modified DNA, would maintain all the characteristics that the baby would normally have, but would only rid him of genetic diseases, which would be very advantageous for the child and the family. This would not create a "manufactured" baby, nor would it cause any adverse reaction to the child or the mother.
In addition, this practice would be performed on very few women, as 1 in 200 women have DNA defects. This shows that this practice would only be used in cases of need and these cases would be very few.

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt about secondhand smoke from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website. Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). Half of the US population is covered by state or local smokefree laws that do not allow indoor smoking in worksites and public places, including restaurants and bars. Most people have adopted smokefree rules in their home. Still, exposure in the home remains a significant problem. - The home is the primary source of SHS exposure for children. - About 80 million (1 in 4) Americans live in multiunit housing and can be exposed to unwanted SHS in their homes. SHS from units or common areas where smoking occurs can seep into smokefree units. - Many who live in public housing are especially affected by SHS, including children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Which detail best helps answer the research question "Are smokefree policies effective in protecting people from the dangers of secondhand smoke?"
Answer:
D) "SHS from units or common areas where smoking occurs can seep into smoke free units." Have a Great day:)

He [Mr. Summers] made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, “Watson boy drawing this
year?”
A tall boy in the crowd raised his hand. “Here,” he said. “I’m drawing for my mother and me.” He
blinked his eyes nervously and ducked his head as several voices in the crowd said things like “Good
fellow” and “Glad to see your mother’s got a man to do it.”
What does the author want you to infer about the Watson boy’s father?
Group of answer choices
He is at home in bed sick.
He was killed in a previous lottery.
He was older than most of the other villagers.
He died of an unknown illness.
Answer:
I think the best answer would be he died of an unknown illness because Mr. Summers is referring to a man that is Watson. Normally people refer "head" of the family as the man. And since his mother is assumed she's alone, she has a man to do the work. I don't think I explained this properly but I hope it helps! :)
