Answer:
D. Slow and steady wins in the end .
Explanation:
The paradox in the passage is best stated by option D. Instead of starting fast, James began the race slowly and kept going at the same pace until the end, when everyone became exhausted and began slowing down. That's when he sped up and ended up winning the race.
Slow and steady wins the race is also the morale of a well-known story The Tortoise and the Hare, where the tortoise beats the hare in the race.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
1. I thought I was prepare for what our family would expect on the wide-open planes of the frontier. I was wrong.
2. The letter from Father's brother arrived at our home in Philadelphia on May 1, 1867, coincidentally the Day Nebraska became the 37th state in the Union. Uncle Matthews have been searching for land in Nebraska for 2 years and have secured a land for our family, if we want it. Was father interested?
3. Of course he was interested! Ever since my uncle and his family mood West, it's been all father could talk about—the adventures, the awards of being reaped from working on the land, the freedom, the wide open space. Mother was not so sure about living on the prairie, but she had hitched her dreams to Father's long ago. So it was when we set off with everything we owned tied down to a solitary wagon covered with a large white canvas cloth.
4. weeks later we stood with Uncle Matthew by a small stream on our new land—anchors and anchors of earth blanket with the tall prairie grass. "The first chore," he said "is to build a house." But there was almost no stone to use for construction. The the few trees within sight were not suitable for lumber, Andy clay needed for bricks and scarce.
5. "What kind of house?" I posed out loud.
6. He chuckles ruffling my hair. "A soddie."
7 So a sod house it would be. I was set to cut the long grass short with help of scythe scythe swing back and forth over the land. Mother gather the grass and bundles and use for kindling. Uncle Matthew's hitched a plow called a "grasshopper" to one of the horses and begin cutting strips of sod about 18 in wide and 4 in thick further use an axe to hew bricks of sod.
8. We only cut as much sod as we could use each day and lay the bricks in a criss-cross pattern. We left gaps for the doors and windows. we fashioned the roof of twigs and branches woven together with straw pile on top, and we place more sod above as a final layer.
9. "The canvas from the wagon will come in handy," Uncle Matthew's remarks.
10. "For what." I asked.
11. "We'll hang it inside, under the ceiling. It'll catch dirt and critters that might drop down. unless you rather have them plop into your stew or fall on your bed," he laughed.
12. We hung a horse's like it in the entryway to serve as a door until we could fashion a real one wood, and we use paper grease with animal fat as Windows. The house was just one room, but it was our whole living area—parlor, kitchen, and bedrooms—all in a single place. Cozy was the only word I could think of to describe it at the moment.
13. But during that first year, I also learned that are soddie kept us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It leaks when it rains and on hot days Mother could pour water on the floor once a week to keep the dust settled. The three of us were crowded but happy, and no one I knew from Philadelphia could walk outside on day in May and see wildflower springing from roof and walls of his house!

Also, the Earth's tilt and its distance from the sun means we have mild seasons that humans can withstand.
Explanation:
The main idea of the passage is that Earth is the only planet that can support life.

“The Inca were great builders"
Answer:
The author supports their claim that "The Inca were great builders" by talking about how much they loved stone and took pride in their work of building temples and fortifications. What they built was sacred to them and they put extraordinary effort into it. According to the text in paragraph 12, it says, "Constructed without mortar, the joins between them are so tight as to deny a knife-blade entry. A vast labor force was required. There are records of 20 men working on a single stone, chipping away, hoisting and lowering it, polishing it with sand, hour-by-hour, for an entire year." The Inca took building very seriously, and the author shows this by providing more detail into the intricates of the design and the amount of time and effort it takes for them to make these creations.

why did Trevor love christmas with Robert?
Answer:
Trevor Noah loves Christmas at his father Robert's house because it was so much different from the usual African Christmas that is only church service and dinner while his father's side is a European Christmas with all the fake snow, presents and Christmas tree etc.
Explanation:
Trevor Noah is an African-American born out of an illegal relationship from a black mother and a white father during the Apartheid. His unconventional birth and upbringing eventually influenced him a lot, becoming the main topic of his comedian jokes and even his memoir "Born a Crime".
Robert Noah is the father of Trevor, with whom Trevor's mother Patricia had him. Though Robert is a German white man, he had no interest or hatred of the blacks in Africa. He was simply indifferent about the whole Apartheid policy. And it was this that led Patricia to trust the man and have his baby. And while growing up, Trevor would spend his Christmas with his German father at his house, a European Christmas, much different from the African Christmas he would be having.
He liked European Christmas better with all the fake snow and presents and Christmas trees while an African Christmas usually involves just church service and dinner.

Look back at the soliloquy at the beginning of this act and list at least 2 reasons Brutus gives for killing Caesar.
Answer: 1. Brutus thinks power will change Caesar. 2. He thinks that the people of Rome desire to finish him as well because of a letter that he receives.
Explanation: Brutus claims not to have any reason to finish Caesar off. However, he discreetly implies "reasonable" facts that would make it a good idea. He presumes that, although Caesar hasn't portrayed ambitious behaviors, power could corrupt his mind. Furthermore, due to a letter he receives in which he is accused of sleeping in Rome's reign, he assumes that the people from Rome wants Caesar's life to end as well.

READ THIS POEM
Baby bye, Here's a fly;
Let us watch him, you and I. How he crawls
Up the walls, Yet he never falls!
I believe with six such legs You and I could walk on eggs.
There he goes On his toes,
Tickling baby's nose.
Spots of red Dot his head;
Rainbows on his back are spread; That small speck
Is his neck;
See him nod and beck.
I can show you, if you choose, Where to look to find his shoes, Three small pairs,
Made of hairs; These he always wears.
Black and brown Is his gown;
He can wear it upside down; It is laced
Round his waist; I admire his taste.
Yet though tight his clothes are made He will lose them, I'm afraid,
If tonight He gets sight
Of the candlelight.
1. What is being described in the first stanza of this poem?
a. the gentle way the fly can walk
b. the feet of the fly
c. the way the baby is sleeping so soundly
d. how a fly can walk on eggs
2. Explain the line in the last stanza He can wear it upside down.
3. What does the end of the poem mean?
PLz i will give brainlist
Answer:
1. I think that it is A
2. I think the last line means that the fly can go upside down and it is connected to hime soooo
3. The end of the poem means that if the the fly sees the candlelight, he will be attracted to id and go into it and die.
Explanation:
I hope you do well!!! Good Luck!!
The feet of the fly described in the first stanza of this poem. The correct option is b.
"He can wear it upside down" means the fly can wear its gown in a reversed or unconventional manner, showcasing its adaptability.
The end of the poem suggests that if the fly gets sight of the candlelight, it may face danger or harm.
The feet of the fly is the right response. The fly is described in the first stanza as it climbs up walls and maintains its balance without falling. It emphasizes how the fly's feet can move and function physically.
The last stanza's line "He can wear it upside down" alludes to the fly's capacity to don its gown (outer covering) in an unusual or reversed fashion. It highlights the fly's adaptability and flexibility by showing that it can still move and function normally even when its clothes aren't worn traditionally.
The poem's conclusion implies that if the fly sees the candlelight, it might be drawn to it and risk being burned or hurt. It implies a warning or admonition regarding the fly's curiosity and the possible repercussions it may experience if it approaches something perilous or alluring too closely.
