Read this excerpt from "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi."

"But are you sure that there is anything to be gained by killing the people?” said Nag.

"Everything. When there were no people in the bungalow, did we have any mongoose in the garden? So long as the bungalow is empty, we are king and queen of the garden; and remember that as soon as our eggs in the melon-bed hatch (as they may to-morrow), our children will need room and quiet.”

"I had not thought of that,” said Nag. "I will go, but there is no need that we should hunt for Rikki-tikki afterward. I will kill the big man and his wife, and the child if I can, and come away quietly.”

How does the author use personification to characterize the snakes?

He explains the snakes’ cruel behavior by writing that they want to be “king and queen of the garden.”
He explains how the snakes will care for their children by writing that they have “eggs in the melon-bed.”
He explains the snakes’ evil plan by writing that they will “kill the big man and his wife.”
He explains the snakes’ desire for power by saying that they will “hunt for Rikki-tikki.”

Poor Richard's Almanac

Explanation:

So In Poor Richard's Almanac, I found that The calendar, weather, poetry, sayings, and astronomical and astrological information included in a regular almanac of the time were all included in the Almanack. Franklin also had the occasional mathematics exercise, and an early example of demography may be seen in the Almanack from 1750. The overall goal of Poor Richard's Almanack was to offer regular people inexpensive information. Ben Franklin aimed to strengthen the colonies' morale, financial standing, and virtue. His almanac served as a vehicle for disseminating such ideas, beliefs, and counsel.

Answers

Answer:

Quiet neighborhood

Explanation:

What would you prefer? A busy city or a quiet neighborhood. This is a question that may trouble your brain. In my opinion, both of these have their pros and cons. A city with commercial needs and daily life resources is hustling and busy. In contrast, a quiet neighborhood is where you can observe the beautiful greenery and nature around you, and go around with your daily work without any disturbance. Living in a city, there are many cons such as the city has many factories which can cause health issues but in a quiet neighborhood, you can live a healthy life but the con is that the neighborhoods are mostly away from the main civilization. Cities generally have better infrastructure, an education system, and advanced health care facilities. You get to meet people from all walks of life, and learn to coexist with people from different ethnicity, race, caste, and culture; hence you become more tolerant, and open-minded and start respecting each other differences. Whereas countryside people are less tolerant, the caste system still prevails and the powers lie with a certain group of people.

Answer:

I would love to live in either but for the sake of this essay I would pick a quiet neighborhood. For one, if a family needs a quiet place to make sure their baby doesn’t wake up. It would be much harder to keep a baby asleep in an apartment in a busy city. It would ultimately be a much quieter and calmer area and since I don’t like busy stores and car horns at all hours of the night. Nobody would like to stay up after having a long day of work/school and other interactions with people. Being in a quiet little county side is just what everyone needs. At least once in their lives. If you were a single person working for yourself and you need your own space, you will always find comfort in a small town. Everyone knows everyone and you can always find the help you need. Who needs a big town when you have some really close friends and a cute little house. When you live in a city there would be too many dangerous people and places, it’s too loud and bright. In the city you can’t see all the stars light up the night sky. All the light pollution in the city isn’t healthy for anyone. A quiet neighborhood is the obvious choice.

The root mal means bad or evil. Can you defermine what the word maleficent means by using
the root?

Answers

Answer:

The word maleficent means causing harm especially by supernatural means, and we can determine this because the root 'mal' means evil as stated, and maleficent is a term used for evil occurences (specifically in movies and stuff)

Explanation:

So you can determine that the adjective describes something evil or bad because of the use of the root :) Sorry if this isn't specific enough, but it's quite straight forward to me at least so I don't know how to elaborate if you need a more formal answer

yes you can with the root

"THE TAILOR AND THE ELEPHANT"

Answers

Answer:

The Tailor and the Elephant

One hot summer's day in a rural Indian village, a tailor was hurriedly sewing fine cloth for the prince who was passing by. The tailor was called Prasthaka. Prasthaka was working hard and the heat was intense.

Suddenly an elephant passed by. Prasthaka was distracted and forgot to complete the task. When he came back to finish it, there was no cloth left!

This happened four times. Prasthaka was worried and was getting mad. Prasthaka knew though that it wasn't right to be mad. He approached the elephant who then transformed into a beautiful woman. She said: "I am Bhagiratha." Then she left

Not soon after she left, the prince came to Prasthaka and said: "I am the son of the king. A few days ago I was passing through the village when you were sewing my clothes. I liked what I saw. Can you be my servant and come with me to my palace? Please be willing to do any work I desire."

Prasthaka was happy and said yes. He left his house, family and friends and with his family he traveled for days. Prasthaka made clothes for the prince and sometimes cooked for him as well. Prasthaka made good friends in the area and had a perfect life. But then, he remembered that elephant-girl, Bhagiratha.

Prasthaka decided that Bhagiratha would be his wife and would wait until he could return to her. After many years, the prince returned. He told her

Prasthaka: "I have married another woman. But I can't forget you." Then he explained the situation of his new wife. Prasthaka felt sorry for her, but she just mysteriously disapeared in the Dhaliwal Forest

Now, up to this day, all males in the area have kept it a taboo not to enter Dhaliwal Forest lest the Goddess of Dhaliwal Forest would avenge them for the love of Prasthaka.

Answer:

Once a elephant lived in a village. He started to be friends with a tailor. The elephant used to go to a river for a bath. After drinking water and taking a bath it would pass by a tailor’s shop and the tailor would give it something to eat .

One day the tailor was in angry mood due to argument with one of the customer. The elephant the came as usual.  Instead of giving any thing to eat, he hit the elephant’s trunk with his needle. The elephant was hurt because of that. He made up his mind to teach the tailor a lesson.

He went to the river, had his bath and then filled up its trunk with muddy water. He stopped at the tailor’s shop and throw in all the muddy water on the garments in the shop. The clothes were spoiled with mud. The tailor suffered a great loss. He felt sad for his misdeed. But it was too late.

Which details from the historical fiction piece "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity" supports Marie's factual statement? During a particularly rigorous winter, it was not unusual for the water to freeze in the basin in the night; to be able to sleep I was obliged to pile all my clothes on the bedcovers. In the same room I prepared my meals with the aid of an alcohol lamp and a few kitchen utensils. These meals were often reduced to bread with a cup of chocolate, eggs or fruit.​

Answers

Answer:1

The details from the historical fiction piece "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity" that support Marie's factual statement are:

In the winter, it was so cold that she emptied her closet, piling the clothes on the bed so she'd be warm enough to sleep.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer, here are the options:

A) She also met the man who soon became her husband—Pierre Curie, a brilliant young physicist as promising (and poor) as Marie.

B) A moment later, people passing by the School of Physics and Chemistry were treated to a sight not often seen on the fashionable streets of Paris in the early 1900s: a bareheaded young woman in a laboratory smock, ripping eagerly into the pile of heavy sacks and burying her hands in . . . dirt?

C) In the winter, it was so cold that she emptied her closet, piling the clothes on the bed so she'd be warm enough to sleep.

D) No one, the Curies included, had ever seen this element. Still, the husband-and-wife team had given it a name: radium.

The factual statement does not focus on the discoveries of Marie Curie, it focuses on the kind of life and routine that she used to have when she was younger, and the techniques she needed to apply to keep warm, all this is presented with different words as a support sentence in the third given option.

i was once on a road trip with my two other friends and the whole time they left me out. We were going to universal and they were together for partner rides. I had to go alone for everything

Answer:  i hope this helps

Explanation:

It was 6 years ago, in a  period  of time when I had received little to no regard from anyone my age. At school, I came to witness other children of higher privilege, sharing  smoothies together and huddled in large  groups, whilst I, a person with less knowledge of modern trends, and with no care for being “cool”, was left behind and had hardly any friends. Moreover, I was left out due to my introverted nature around social events with youngsters like me. While other kids shared laughter and unfettered conversations, attempting  to have  even the slightest amount of dialogue between other children was a challenge. On the other hand, philosophers state that those who are less extroverted tend to be more sophisticated, which provided me with solace in a time when I felt isolated and left out from the world. I was left out and couldn't help it, but that may have been for the best.

Which sentence contains the main idea of the paragraph?
Now you can stop feeling guilty about that bite of chocolate you had for dessert. Chocolate has been found to be a cause of weight gain. But
chocolate does have some health benefits. However, don't reach for that chocolate cake just yet. Researchers found that only people who had
an average of one ounce of dark chocolate per day received the health benefit. Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids, which can help prevent
diseases. Flavonoids have been found to decrease cholesterol and reduce the blood clots that cause strokes. Flavonoids also boost a natural
chemical in your brain called serotonin. Low serotonin can cause depression. That's probably why eating chocolate boosts mood and feelings
of well-being.
