Is substance abuse (illegal drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs) a choice? Or a disease? Explain. Write 2 to 3 paragraphs explaining your view with support.
Answer:
Explanation:
I feel that it is a choice because nobody is forcing you to take this substance. It could be out of curiosity but that is not an excuse.
Answer:
Substance abuse is a choice
Explanation:
Substance abuse is not an infectous disease that you can inherit from another person. It is a choice that people make on their own accord. Vise verse. You cannot tell a pathogen or some sort of virus that they aren't welcome into your body, they enter us as they please. Also, the substances themselves aren't abusive, rather the people who treat them with disrespect.
When we are using copious amounts of a drug, we are making the decisions to onset our addictions. However, if we use them as prescribed and wisely, we can ensure our lifestyles are maintained and in order.

O A. He apologizes for being rude by whispering at the meeting.
B. He points out that citizens may not accept a tax increase.
OC. He looks forward to summer vacation with relief.
O
D. He encourages people to accept change without fear.
Answer:
The answer is D. He encourages people to accept change without fear.
Explanation:
Although nothing in my life was changing, I suddenly found myself overwhelmed by change—and the changes were happening to all the people who are closest to me. My father was recovering from a life-threatening accident. My brother was moving in with his girlfriend. My sister broke up with her boyfriend. My best friend was quitting her job to travel the world. Another good friend announced her second pregnancy. All of a sudden, everyone around me was going through a major life change. Were they having trouble accepting change, too? Emotions flooded through me and I felt like Jo March in Little Women. "Why must everything change? Why can’t everything stay the same?" I cried to my therapist. Then I was overcome with another fear: Do I need to make a life change now, just like everyone else? That’s when my therapist said, “Legend, one of the only constant things in life is change.” It’s true. Every single thing—from the trendiest styles of jeans to the shows on television—is constantly in flux. So why is it so hard to accept change when it occurs? If life is all about changes, and the changes define who we become, why can’t we understand it, anticipate it, and move on? When change is unwelcome, it’s crucial to grieve the loss, then accept it and move on. When a change initially occurs, it can feel like you are losing something—a friend or a job. But you don’t know what will happen in the future. What could feel like a loss now could end up being a win later. Life is constantly moving forward, and nine times out of 10, you'll look back years later and think, "Thank goodness I made that change," or "That change was so hard at the time, but it was necessary to lead me to the better, more positive place I am today."

Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival. Which best describes the impact of the author's repetitive use of words that suggest similar ideas, such as "go," "search," and "roam"?'
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
Which best describes the impact of the author's repetitive use of words that suggest similar ideas, such as "go," "search," and "roam"?'
A. They urge readers to take definitive and far-reaching action.
B. They point to different perspectives about the same idea.
C. They remind readers of the great scope of the argument.
D. They recall earlier references Douglass has made to travel.
Answer:
The sentence that best describes the impact of the repetitive use of words is:
A. They urge readers to take definitive and far-reaching action.
Explanation:
We have to take two things into consideration. First, Douglass is using repetition, which is a rhetorical device that helps emphasize an idea. In this case, he is emphasizing actions. Besides that, those actions are not merely mentioned, but they come as an imperative. Douglass is commanding us to "go", "search", and "roam". He is urging us to take action, to open our eyes, to see for ourselves how unjust our country is. For those reasons, the best option is letter A. They urge readers to take definitive and far-reaching action.
Answer:
a: They urge readers to take definitive and far-reaching action.

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour. . . .
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk.

"Instinct is a no match for reason." What do you think about
this quote? Do you agree? Explain your thoughts. From the most dangerous game.
I agree with this quote because you can’t blame everything on instinct. You can’t have instinct as your reason why you did what you did. Sometimes if you say it was instinct it might’ve really been instinct and that’s fine, but you can’t blame everything you do on instinct.
Daisy decides to go on a hike to a picnic area. Her map shows that when she reaches the giant oak tree she will have completed 60% of the hike. When Daisy reaches the giant oak tree she has walked 18 kilometers. How many kilometers does Daisy have left to reach the picnic area?
Answer:
12km
Explanation:
Given that:
Let:
Total distance = d
From start to giant oak tree = 60% of hike
Distance from start to giant oak tree = 18 km
Hence ;
60% of d = 18km
0.6d = 18km
Divide both sides by 0.6
0.6d/ 0.6 = 18km / 0.6
d = 30km
Total distance of picnic area = 30 kilometers
Hence, distance left to reach picnic area :
Total distance - distance covered
30km - 18km
= 12km

Read the first stanza from "Mutability." We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon; How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver, Streaking the darkness radiantly!—yet soon Night closes round, and they are lost for ever How does Shelley convey the idea that humans are constantly moving and changing? by personifying the moon by comparing humans to clouds by personifying the night by comparing humans to darkness
Answer:
Shelley conveys the idea that humans are constantly moving and changing:
B. by comparing humans to clouds.
Explanation:
We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;
The very first line has the answer we need. Shelley is using a type of comparison here called simile. His purpose is to confer some of the attributes of the clouds to us humans by saying we are like each other. Humans also "speed, and gleam, and quiver," figuratively speaking. We are, like the clouds, in constant motion, ever changing. One day we also shall be gone, just like the clouds once the night closes round.
Answer:
B
