all that apply.
"The bicycle," she wrote, "will inspire women with more courage, self-respect and self-reliance and make the next
generation more vigorous of mind and of body."
In August 1895, a cyclist named Ann Strong caused a stir when she compared the value of a bicycle to that of a
husband in the Minneapolis Tribune.
Politicians, soldiers, business leaders, and even the leading athletes in the new sports of baseball and football
were all men.
Now the bicycle brought a taste of independence to women on a very personal level, and some of them took the
opportunity to express their discontent with old traditions and expectations.
Bicycle manufacturers retooled their factories to build them (automobiles and bicycle repair shops installed
gasoline tanks to service them.

Answer:
A) "The bicycle," she wrote, "will inspire women with more courage, self-respect, and self-reliance and make the next generation more vigorous of mind and of body.”
B) In August 1895, a cyclist named Ann Strong caused a stir when she compared the value of a bicycle to that of a husband in the Minneapolis Tribune.
D) Now the bicycle brought a taste of independence to women on a very personal level, and some of them took the opportunity to express their discontent with old traditions and expectations.
Explanation:
All of these mention values and attributes. The first one states multiply attributes that women are gaining that have never really been looked for in a woman before.
The second one states that "Ann Strong caused a stir when she compared the value of a bicycle to that of a husband". It caused a stir because women usually are supposed to be quiet, and not have opinions, and that was changing.
The fourth one states that the bicycle has brought independence that women never had before. Like the second option, because of this freedom, they start expressing their own opinions.

The punishment on Tuesday was a shocking fall from grace for Williams. What does this text mean?
Answer:
This means that Williams lost the approval of a lot of people as a result of his punishment.
Explanation:
This text means that prior to his punishment Wiliams was likely viewed as a good person by many. He was probably loved by them too. So when he was punished as a result of a wrong act done by him, people lost the love they had for him.
If he occupied a position of authority that was to be respected, he still lost it because of the punishment and the fact that he no longer had the approval of the people.
TRUE OR FALSE?????
A writer is working on a research paper about whether schools should ban junk food or not. One of the paragraphs in his paper reads:
The article “Junk Food in Schools: Should Schools Restrict the Sale of Junk Food?” provides an overview of some concerns related to the food available to many school students: “Having junk food in schools, proponents contend, contradicts the message that parents, teachers and administrators are trying to impart to students—that eating good food is the key to good health. That message is undercut when unhealthy foods are so readily available, and have been approved by schools themselves, they argue. ‘We talk a lot about healthy nutrition, we teach the kids about the food pyramid, and then they go down the hallway and get the high fat, high sodium and high junk available in the vending machines,’ Senator Murkowski told the New York Times” (“Junk Food”). But this isn’t true. In my high school we didn’t have any vending machines.
This paragraph effectively relates the writer’s source material to his ideas about junk food.

to jsyy The Meet
By Madelyn Srin
"Why, why?" Ariel wailed into her locker at the pool. "I thought she was not going to make it down for this meet!" Her fiercest competitor was going to swim Saturday, after all. Ariel looked around to make sure no one had heard her then tore off her required swim cap, grabbed her towel, and ran outside to her father's waiting van.
"It's my last chance to actually make Olympics finals, Dad. And Maria is going to be there. Maria and her stupid pink swim cap. High-fiving her dad for good luck before every single race. Ugh."
"Remember what I've told you, Ari," her dad started. "The only thing that matters is what you do, not what you win." She put up her hand to block the glare of the sun just peeking up over the horizon. Every morning she was at that pool, doing laps and practicing her strokes. Ariel pictured herself so many times holding that trophy and smiling triumphantly as she advanced to the Olympic finals. No matter what her dad said, she wanted to win.
Saturday morning, Ariel stood by the pool—waiting for Maria to come out—hoping that she wouldn't. She did—crying. Ariel could barely hear what Maria was saying to the coach over the noise in the pool area.
"… lucky swim cap. gone … without it." The coach was trying to convince Maria to just wear another one when Ariel saw a pink blob, peeking out from under the bleachers. For an instant, she saw herself again, making it to the finals, and living her dream. This time, however, her vision was different. She held the trophy, but her smile was nowhere to be seen.
The world came into focus again, and Ariel knew what she had to do.
Moments later, she approached Maria and looked her rival in the eye. "Here," she said, handing her the pink cap. "It was under the bleachers."
"Oh, Ariel. Thankyouthankyouthankyou," Maria said through her sobs. "If I could not compete today, I don't know what I would do."
Ariel watched Maria greet her father and receive her customary high-five. As Ariel turned away, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Maria's father stood smiling, his flat hand raised and ready.
"One for you, too!"
Ariel high fived the man and saw a flash of embarrassment flush across Maria's face.

Research, in a book on animal life, some instinct of an animal . Report (about 50 words) on how this animal shows its instinct. Write complete sentences.
There are thousands of species of ant and they are located on every continent on the planet with the exception of very cold places such as Antarctica.Ants colonies work together in a kind of hive mindset. If this sounds familiar to some species of wasp, that’s because ants are related to wasps and likely shared a common ancestor millions of years ago. In general, an ant colony works together to provide for the colony as a whole. Each ant has a very specific role, thus making the colony almost like one living organism with the individual ants like cells within a human body, tasked with performing percise actions.

Explanation:
You can rule our A automatically, it says that they used New Zealand so it obviously could be a place on earth.
Next you can rule out C because it said they had to find "Amazing countryside" so it wasn't very common
Lastly we can also rule out D because Tolkien's stories were not written to take lace in New Zealand, they were written to take place in their own world.
Which leaves us with B, which is a rational answer

Crunch Rocks Cereal Advertisement Hey kids! I want to tell you about a new cereal straight from the rock piles of Georgia called “Crunch Rocks.” This cereal is crushed by the greasy care of sweaty, sledge-hammering Georgia miners. Each solid stone is carefully selected by the best-behaving criminals in the state and then pulverized into tiny kernels of gravel-like goodness to fill your cereal bowl. With “Crunch Rocks,” you don’t have to worry about cavities because you won’t have any teeth! The rock pebbles of Crunch of Rocks will destroy them so you have nothing left in your mouth but bleeding gums. You won’t have to waste your time morning and night brushing and flossing, or ever smile for the camera again. “Crunch of Rocks” is filled with tasty, hard center of delicious fiber and iron. Its multi-mineral composition will rough up your esophagus and then tear through your intestines. While Georgia isn’t the Sunshine State, the rocks in “Crunch Rocks” have spent centuries baking in the sunlight and are a great source of Vitamin D. Be sure to place “Crunch Rocks” at the bottom of your grocery bad so it doesn’t smash your eggs and bread. “Crunch Rocks” can also be sued to line your fishbowl or fill potholes in your driveway. The purpose of this passage is to: a. Entertain the reader with a silly cereal ad b. To tell people that eating rocks is bad for you c. To sell rocks as a new cereal product d. To persuade readers that taking care of your teeth isn’t important

Violence in video games is essentially to blame for
violence in our society. When children are bombarded
with monstrous images, they begin to think that these
types of actions are normal or acceptable. Children and
teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours
playing video games, and they may begin to use them
as a guideline for how to act and behave. Even if they
do not perform violent actions, they may become less
sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others
because of what they see reflected in these games.

Which word means
"knowledge of something"?
A biologist
B discovery

D environment
Answer:
Awareness (C)
Explanation:
D would be eliminated because that just doesn't fit the definition.
Biologist (A) is a person and they do have knowledge, but another word would fit better. Plus, biologist has a different definition.
B would be finding out something. You will have a knowledge of it after to discover it. Plus discovery has a different definition.
This means C is the answer
Hope this helps!
