The Girl in the Picture

I loved to look at the old photographs, especially the ones with me in them. I suppose that was bad of me and proved I was stuck on myself, but I couldn't help it. The pictures with me in them were just more interesting. Every stage of my life was there, snapped by the camera and stamped on a glossy piece of paper. I loved seeing myself at three, standing with my brother, Donald, in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in front of the kitchen counter, mixing a birthday cake for Mother. The pictures reminded me that I was real, that I always had been real and always would be real, and that I wasn't just some girl someone had made up.

Which two statements best express themes in the passage?

Answer:

The two statements that best express themes in the passage are:

Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.  

Joy comes from looking back on the past.

Explanation:

The narrator in the passage clearly derives happiness from looking at the pictures. Photos allow her to remember, to watch herself grow and change. And a sense of worth comes from it, since watching her own history pictured like that makes her realize how true it all is. She is a real person, with a real history. Being able to see that, being reminded of that, makes her happy. Therefore, the two themes expressed in the passage are:

Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.

Joy comes from looking back on the past.

Which tone is created through the use of the phrase i'm living in the tombs in line 40 of 'My childhood home i see again?

My childhood home I see again,
And sadden with the view;
And still, as memory crowds my brain,
There's pleasure in it too.

O Memory! thou midway world
'Twixt earth and paradise,
Where things decayed and loved ones lost
In dreamy shadows rise,

And, freed from all that's earthly vile,
Seem hallowed, pure, and bright,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.

As dusky mountains please the eye
When twilight chases day;
As bugle-notes that, passing by,
In distance die away;

As leaving some grand waterfall,
We, lingering, list its roar—
So memory will hallow all
We've known, but know no more.

Near twenty years have passed away
Since here I bid farewell
To woods and fields, and scenes of play,
And playmates loved so well.

Where many were, but few remain
Of old familiar things;
But seeing them, to mind again
The lost and absent brings.

The friends I left that parting day,
How changed, as time has sped!
Young childhood grown, strong manhood gray,
And half of all are dead.

I hear the loved survivors tell
How nought from death could save,
Till every sound appears a knell,
And every spot a grave.

I range the fields with pensive tread,
And pace the hollow rooms,
And feel (companion of the dead)
I'm living in the tombs.

While Roberto Clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print media in the United States for his heavy Spanish accent. Clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. Although the media tried to call him "Bob" or "Bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "Bob," Clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was Roberto. There was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. For 27 years the plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame read "Roberto Walker Clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. Only in 2000 was it changed to its proper Latin American form, Roberto Clemente Walker.

This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about

A. the campaign to correct Roberto Clemente's name in the Hall of Fame
B. the impressive baseball career of Roberto Clemente
C. the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents
D. the nicknames earned by Roberto Clemente during his career

First of all, many programming systems, such as Java or HTML, are called “languages.”
Based on these findings, you shouldn’t be discouraged from studying coding, even if you do better in your language classes than your math classes.
These systems are called languages because they truly operate as languages. Despite what you may assume, computer coding is more like a language than a type of mathematics.
A 2020 study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that “language aptitude” and other skills play “a bigger role in predicting how someone will pick up a computer language — not how savvy they are with numbers.”
Recent research suggests that learning these unique languages requires thinking like a language expert rather than a mathematician.
