. In paragraph 1, Stanton says “…we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread…” Why does the author present her idea in a list-like structure?

As Principal Kohl has written, I am leaving the Armstrong School to become the principal of another school. While I am thrilled about that new challenge, I also feel sad about leaving our school. I will miss each and every one of you. I will carry the friendships and memories I’ve made here with me forever. Thank you all for being so wonderful!

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.

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.

Which is the thesis statement in this introductory paragraph?
Would you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home that was
falling apart? Without the benefit of a qualified home inspector, many
people do just that. Home inspectors check the condition of the home,
including the foundation, roof, plumbing, and electrical systems,
Though home inspections can be expensive, it is worth it to know if the
roof is leaking or there's a problem with the pipes in the basement
before you purchase the home. Because a home is often the largest
single investment a person will make in his or her lifetime, the
importance of a proper home inspection cannot be overstated.

Write a thank you letter to your uncle who always supported you in your difficult times

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."

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?"
