On day, a fox chased a frightened rabbit from under a bush. The rabbit ran fast and escaped. As the fox returned home, a passing traveler said, "Aren't you ashamed to let a little rabbit get the better of you?" "Don't forget," replied the fox, "that I was only chasing my supper. The rabbit was running for its life!"

What is the theme of this passage?

What details support the theme?

Answers

Answer:

The theme seems to be something along the lines of, "perspective can make a world of difference."

Explanation:

In the passage, the main realization point is just after a passing traveler shares their perspective. The traveler did not seem to think about the fact that for the contrasting lives of a fox and a rabbit, both have trials and tribulations throughout life, only some are greater than others. The fox needs to eat, so catching his supper would mean a great deal to him. However, the rabbit would be running away tos ave his own life, which I can confidently say would mean a great deal more than one meal. Each character in the story is faced with the topic of perspective, and that is the exact message the passage is trying to get through to the audience. This passage is a perfect example of what is known as a fable. Fables include a short story, consisting of few characters that often tend to be animals, with the purpose of sharing an important theme or lesson. A consistant theme throughout fables is perspective, so I would say this is a good example of just that.

Read the passage below.

How do Alaskans handle living in the darkness for so long? Many people adjust their lifestyles so that they can keep healthy. For example, they try to get used to starting their days in complete darkness and staying up long past sunset.
Sunlight is important to our bodies. We need it to make vitamin D. It also helps our mood. Many Alaskans take vitamin D supplements and have special lamps that provide sun-like light. They also keep as active as possible.
One of the best ways to cope with darkness is to be even more active during the summer. Summers bring up to 24 hours of visible light. During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature. They soak up as much sunlight as possible and try to keep it in reserve for the winter.

Which quote from the text does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge?

a) "Many Alaskans take vitamin D supplements and have special lamps that provide sun-like light."
b) "Many people adjust their lifestyles so that they can… get used to starting their days in complete darkness and staying up long past sunset."
c) "During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature."
d)"Summers bring up to 24 hours of visible light. Alaskans… soak up as much sunlight as possible and try to keep it in reserve for the winter."

Answers

Answer:

I  believe the quote that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge is:

c) "During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature."

Explanation:

Quotes A, B, and D all talk about the challenges of living in Alaska. Alaskans need to worry about their vitamin D intake, about adjusting their lifestyles to lack or excess of light, etc. However, option C does not talk of a challenge or a difficulty. If we read option C without the context given in the passage, we would not at all guess that it has anything to do with a difficult, demanding lifestyle. It sounds as if Alaskans simply get to have fun in nature. For that reason, letter C is the one that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge.

Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school however they couldn’t because they had football practice. How should the sentence BEST be written?

Answers

Answer:

Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school. However, they couldn’t because they had football practice.

Explanation:

According to the given sentence, "Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school however they couldn’t because they had football practice", some elements of the sentence are incorrect, such as punctuation, capitalization, etc.

Therefore, the sentence should BEST be written as "Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school. However, they couldn’t because they had football practice."

With the addition of period, the two differing ideas are separated which makes them have a better meaning.

problems, and high test scores are AVID
students.

True or false

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

AVID is an acronym for Advancement Via Individual Determination and it refers to a program established and designed to assist students who are in the academic middle i.e underachieving students having great potential to excel academically.

This ultimately implies that, students who have middle-class (average) grades, some discipline problems, and low test scores are AVID students.

Generally, avid students are often not able to realize their full potential in academics and as such would require an appropriate or right level of support to attain greater heights academically. Also, these category of students should be made to learn at an accelerated learning rate, rather than at a remedial pace.
