Answer:
1,3, and 4 are cooperative. 2 and 5 create conflict because of the argumentative tone.
Explanation:
3 could actually go either way because some people may argue, but it is asked in a reasonable tone so I would place it in the cooperative category with 1 and 4.

Write the correct poetic device in each sentences. 1. The men at the windows had not yet swooped into the Hall, like birds of prey from their high perches. what poetic device is this. 2. Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people. what poetic device is this
Answer:
The two sentences have the same poetic device: simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like", making a direct comparison - as opposed to a metaphor, which makes in indirect one.
In the sentences below, we find examples of simile:
1. The men at the windows had not yet swooped into the Hall, like birds of prey from their high perches.
2. Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people.
Both sentences are comparing completely different things in order to attribute similar qualities to them. In the first one, the men are being compared to birds of prey, which are fast and deadly. In the second one, the leaves, grass, and grains are being compared to the people, all of them being miserable. Both comparisons are done with the help of the words "like" and "as".

Which sentence illustrates an internal conflict?
A. The lion hunts the antelope.
B. Perry wins a big prize and is happy.
C. Marina attempts to overcome her anger.
O D. Keith suffers a broken leg at the skate park.
SUBMIT
Answer:
C. Marina attempts to overcome her anger.
Explanation:
Internal conflicts happen inside the mind of the characters. A hunt is an external conflict. A broken leg certainly doesn't happen inside the mind of a character. Winning a big prize and being happy is not a conflict. So we're left with Marina "fighting" her own anger, which happens inside her mind.
Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from the essay. (The essay is Volar by Judith Ortiz Cofer)
Answer:
In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.
Explanation:
In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay "Volar", she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would "would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same "tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged".
The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "time" before she was woken up by her mother "exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up". The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her "familia on the Island" or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say "Ay, si yo pudiera volar" which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.
In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "familia" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

Please Help!!! I will give brainliest 20 points!! here is the story: he Persistent Gardener It was Jilly's last day in the green house. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over. Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to. The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures. Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things. "We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside." It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly. "Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T. "I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing. "Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it. "That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget." "Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered. "Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said. Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge. "I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking." "You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you." "And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day. "My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants." Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint. Here are the questions: I Have a answer circled in I just need to verify That is why one is circled THX!!!

Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The answer to this is "B. Dr. Weatherford hopes for some good luck as she gets ready to do surgery. " This is because all of the other options have a cause and effect produced by actual events and/or human individuals. Dr. Weatherford relying on luck (which is a phenomenon or superstition) opens the door for many different supernatural elements to appear centerfold in the story. Even "Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy " is a cause and effect since the church bell acts as a signal for someone else to do something terrible to another individual.
The story premise that most clearly contains a supernatural element is Option A: every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy.
Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element?In this premise, the ringing of a specific church bell is associated with unfortunate events befalling a character named Guy. The supernatural element is implied by the cause-and-effect relationship between the bell ringing and the occurrence of these terrible incidents, suggesting a supernatural force or curse at play.
This premise introduces an intriguing mystery and sets the stage for exploring the supernatural realm within the story. The Option A is correct.

Well, son, I'll tell you:

And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.

Ocean Plastics
The Perils of Plastic
Marine debris is a common pollution problem in oceans and waterways around the world. Plastic debris constitutes one of the most serious threats to ocean health.
Up to 90 percent of trash floating in the ocean and littering our shores is plastic. Plastics can harm wildlife, damage coastal habitats, impact local economies, and even threaten human health.
How Does Plastic Get into the Ocean?
Even if you don’t live near the coast, your plastic waste can still find its way to the ocean. A plastic water bottle blown into the street can travel down a stormwater sewer, into rivers and streams, and out into the ocean. Since plastic never completely biodegrades, almost every piece of plastic ever produced is still in the environment in some form.
Types of Plastic
Consumer products. Plastic debris comes in many different types and sizes that we buy and use ourselves, including disposable water bottles, plastic grocery bags, fishing net, fishing line, plastic cups and lids, packaging, water balloons, and straws. In the marine environment, these types of debris can harm wildlife when animals mistake plastic for food, or accidentally entangle themselves in plastic littering our shorelines or floating in the ocean.
Microplastics. Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead, once discarded into the environment, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces the longer it is exposed to the sun; a process called photodegradation. Any plastic particle less than 5 mm in diameter is categorized as a microplastic. Although small, these plastic pieces can have huge effects on ocean health.
Effects of Plastic
Plastic poses a serious threat to our oceans and waterways. Birds, turtles, fish, and other marine life ingest the plastic pieces, mistaking them for fish eggs, plankton, jellyfish, or other food sources. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, both large and small, die from complications relating to plastic debris—they may have a stomach full of plastic that they cannot digest, or they may become fatally entangled in debris.
Harmful chemical pollutants can also attach to plastics and add to the toxicity of plastic debris consumed by animals. Risks to human health from microplastics in seafood are currently being assessed.
Read the article “Ocean Plastics.”
What is one of the author’s purposes in writing this piece?

Explanation:
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to maintain a restful
sleep throughout the night. People who suffer from insomnia-
also called insomniacs—often experience decreased energy,
mood swings, and difficulty performing well in school and work
activities. This sleep disorder can last for days, weeks, or years.
People who suffer from this disorder can experience early
insomnia (difficulty falling asleep), middle insomnia (waking up in
the middle of the night), or late insomnia (waking up earlier than
desired)
There is not one single cause for insomnia. Some insomniacs
experience sleep disturbances because of depression, anxiety, or
a mental illness. Other times, insomnia is caused by outside
influences such as a noisy sleeping environment, a lack of
exercise, or too much caffeine ingested during the day. Often a
doctor will investigate a patient's lifestyle and sleeping habits as a
first step in diagnosing the cause of his or her insomnia.
Insomnia can be treated in many different ways, and most
often, lifestyle changes are recommended by doctors. Some of
the most commonly suggested home remedies for insomnia are
sticking to a sleep schedule, avoiding naps during the day,
removing electronic devices and bright lights from the bedroom,
and drinking warm milk before attempting sleep. If insomnia
persists or begins to negatively impact the sufferer's life, medical
attention should be sought.
A study the best medications to cure sleep disturbances
B write a paper about the first Doctor to diagnose insomnia.
C learn more about the causes of sleep disturbance.
D learn more about famous people who had insomnia
