Explanation:
Financial investments into conservation are often held back by a lack of certainty over the benefits of spending more. Anthony Waldron and colleagues assess the impact of conservation spending on biodiversity between 1996 and 2008 in 109 countries that signed up to the Convention on Biological Diversity. They find that conservation spending over this period reduced national-level biodiversity loss by 29%, on average. They also find that the funding needed to achieve specific conservation goals rises with socioeconomic pressures. The authors develop a predictive model of biodiversity decline, which takes into account the effects of human development pressures and conservation financing. They propose that this could help to predict the funding that each country needs to achieve specific biodiversity policy goals, including those laid out in the Convention on Biological Diversity and the broader United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

To find the key element, you need to find in the text, the sentence or paragraph that speaks to Ned Harviss helping the professor.The scientist Professor Linyard goes off to see his longtime friend who he had last see about 20 years ago. Ned Harviss at this time was now a publisher for about that length of time.
The writer Edith Wharton places a lot of suspense on what happens with the manuscript. From the first paragraph, it is easy to see that Professor Linyard goes off on a journey to see his friend hoping that he would be able to leverage their relationship to get his work published.
It was important to him that the work was published because it had taken a lot of hard work to develop the idea [Paragraph 2]
In the first line of paragraph 11, we see that his long-time friend's warm welcome gave him the confidence that the manuscript would be accepted. The narrator of the story also makes mention of Ned's colorful references to the past between himself and his professor friend that the latter presented the manuscript without any hesitation.
So to conclude, Professor Linyard's action was based on his perception of Ned Harviss' very embracing welcome to mean he would readily be of service to him.

Can someone write me an essay on “What does it mean to be an American”?
Just needs to be a couple of paragraphs and have a thesis and conclusion doesn’t have to be longer than a page.
Answer:
I wrote a basis, just add some adjectives and words of your own and you'll be good to go! :)
Explanation:
America, one of the most interestingly built countries in the world. Other countries know America for a plethora of things: economy, government, population, but nobody except for those who reside in the country truly knows what it means to be an American. To be an American means to be proud, work hard, and never give up.
Pride is often considered a weakness. We often look at those who are prideful as cocky and over the top, but when it comes to Americans, there is no such thing as too much pride. To truly be an American you can't just live in the country, you have to have pride for your homeland. You have to be grateful and excited that you live in the USA, that your forefathers fought for your freedom. That is truly the mark of an American patriot.
Hard work may just be the basis of our entire country. No ethnicity, language, or culture can define us, but hard work can. More than any other defining factor, hard work has built America from the ground. Through centuries of tears, growth, determination and blood, America has come to what it is today. Not to say that this country is perfect, but it has come farther than perhaps anyone expected in a short period of time.
The final factor that makes a true American is the idea of perseverance, or never giving up. America has created a great civilization, a great place for people to give up, but without perseverance, it couldn't be possible. In fact, if our Continental Army had given up on a hard day at Valley Forge, America maybe would not exist. Never giving up is the basis of the country in all senses.
In conclusion, to be an American means you work hard, you take pride in your country, and you never give up. These are the things that have built our country and they are the things that define us as American people.
Hope this works for you! Sorry if it sounds rushed- tried to get it done ASAP!

From the beginning the narrator was attempting to convince the reader that he was not crazy although he was bothered over his neighbors eye. The pace of the story-line began from the narrator admitting how he had a bad feeling whenever the old man's vulture eye looked at the narrator but didn't think that the narrator was crazy over it. Soon enough throughout the story the narrator was driven crazy over the vulture looking eye from the old man and decided to kill the old man. Although from the readers perspective it seems too look like the narrator was crazy, the narrator did not think so. The narrator had planned very meticulously over the thought of killing to old man and acted out on it. Once the deed was done, the police came by to check because a neighbor reported suspicious activity by the old man's home. The narrator let the police in the house to search it and the narrator had explained how the old man was gone to visit a friend out in the country and the police believed him. But the narrator's guilt got to him and put him on edge. He behaved more and more suspicious and finally let a cry out of admitting to killing the man because the narrator thought the policemen were on to him. The way that the mood affected me was that the narrator had begun to admit that he was a normal person, perfectly fine. But once the narrator put out the exposition it started to give out the expression that he was crazy and him denying that he wasn't crazy made the narrator even more suspicious. To conclude my claim, I see that narrator is genuinely crazy and that even though he convinced his own self and attempted to prove the reader he wasn't crazy, in the end he was.

Excerpt from The Little Mermaid
By Hans Christian Andersen
"Come, little sister," said the other princesses; then they entwined their arms and rose up in a long row to the surface of the water, close by the spot where they knew the prince's palace stood. It was built of bright yellow shining stone, with long flights of marble steps, one of which reached quite down to the sea. Splendid gilded cupolas rose over the roof, and between the pillars that surrounded the whole building stood life-like statues of marble. Through the clear crystal of the lofty windows could be seen
noble rooms, with costly silk curtains and hangings of tapestry; while the walls were covered with beautiful paintings which were a pleasure to look at. In the center of the largest saloon a fountain threw its sparkling jets high up into the glass cupola of the ceiling, through which the sun shone down upon the water and upon the beautiful plants growing round the basin of the fountain. Now that she knew where he lived, she spent many an evening and many a night on the water near the palace. She would swim much nearer the shore than any of the others ventured to do; indeed once she went quite up the narrow channel under the marble balcony, which threw a broad shadow on the water. Here she would sit and watch the young prince, who thought himself quite alone in the bright moonlight. She saw him many times of an evening sailing in a pleasant boat, with music playing and flags waving. She peeped out from among the green rushes, and if the wind caught her long silvery-white veil, those who saw it believed it to be a swan, spreading out its wings.
Based on details in the story, the reader can conclude that the little mermaid –
A) cares more about humans than her sisters do
B) loves the beauty of the prince’s palace more than her home
C) is unhappy with her life below the sea
D) is too shy to try and talk to the prince
Answer:
d

Francis Bacon in one of his many essays tries to check if revenge is actually right or wrong and weighed it on a Christian scale. He brings the teaching of Jesus where he told people to turn the other cheek when slapped and the part of leaving vengeance for God.
He strongly believes that if a man overlooks an offense and does not seek revenge, then he is the superior man, because revenge is "wild justice" which needs to be "weeded out".
His intended audience are people that are considering revenge for a wrong done to them.
