Which sentence best expresses the author's view of appreciating small beginnings?
A Piece of Chalk
by G. K. Chesterton (adapted excerpt)
I then tried to explain the rather delicate logical shade, that I not only liked brown paper, but liked the quality of brownness in paper, just as I
liked the quality of brownness in October woods, or in the peat-streams of the North. Brown paper represents the primal twilight of the first toil
of creation, and with a bright-colored chalk or two you can pick out points of fire in it, sparks of gold, and blood-red, and sea-green, like the first
fierce stars that sprang out of darkness. All this I said in an off-hand way) to the old woman; and I put the brown paper in my pocket along with
the chalks, and possibly other things. I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the things that one carries in
one's pocket; the pocket-knife, for instance, the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword. Once I planned to write a book of poems
entirely about the things in my pockets. But I found it would be too long and the age of the great epics is past.
With my stick and my knife, my chalks and my brown paper, I went out on to the great downs. I crawled across those colossal contours that
express the best quality of England, because they are at the same time soft and strong. The smoothness of them has the same meaning as the
smoothness of great cart-horses, or the smoothness of the beech-tree; it declares in the teeth of our timid and cruel theories that the mighty are
merciful.
Answer:
I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the things that one carries in one's pocket; the pocket-knife, for instance, the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword
Explanation:
Answer: I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the things that one carries in one's pocket; the pocket-knife, for instance, the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword.
Explanation: "primeval" and "infant" indicates objects in the beginnings of their development. This is the only sentence that talks about mundane, small objects and their significance as they evolve. Correct on Edmentum.
Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
The year is 326 B.C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander’s string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea.And it is Nearchus who stumbles upon the "sweet reed." The Greeks knew something of India (actually the Indian subcontinent, the area that today includes the nations of India and Pakistan) from the books of Herodotus, a writer who lived about a century earlier. He reported that when the Persian emperor Darius I invaded India around 510 B.C., his men found a sweet reed that produced honey.
Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage? Select two options.
1. a timeline showing how people have used sugar in the past and up until the present
2. a diagram of one of the eight hundred ships that Alexander the Great had built
3. a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery
4. a diagram of sugar cane, showing details of its outside and inside
5. a timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane
Answer:
3. A map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery
5. A timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane
Explanation:
The text features that would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage are a map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery and a timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane.
The text tells us about how Alexander the Great discovered the sugar cane. In order to understand this properly, we need to know the route he took to the discovery site, and a map would be a great feature for that.
Before Alexander's discovery of the sugar cane, the Greeks already possessed knowledge about its existence thanks to Herodotus' books about emperor Darius I. A timeline would help the reader visualize the connection between these two periods related to the discovery of sugar cane.
Answer:
3. A map of Alexander the Great's route and the site of the sugar cane discovery
5. A timeline showing when Darius I and Alexander the Great learned of sugar cane

PLEASE HELP! ALSO PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER WITH "IDK" OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! Read the following passage from "The Golden Fleece" in Bulfinch's Mythology.
When Jason was grown up and came to demand the crown from his uncle, Pelias pretended to be willing to yield it, but at the same time suggested to the young man the glorious adventure of going in quest of the golden fleece, which it was well known was in the kingdom of Colchis, and was, as Pelias pretended, the rightful property of their family.
What is the most likely reason Pelias sent Jason on this "pretend" mission?
it was a long-standing family tradition that before a son could rule, he must embark on a dangerous quest.
Pelias hoped that Jason would be killed on the quest and that he (Pelias) could continue to be king.
Pelias really wanted the golden fleece and thought Jason could get it.
Pelias wanted Jason to earn the right to rule as king by completing a quest.
Answer:
B. Pelias was hoping that Jason would be killed on the quest.
later on in the greek myth, the truth is exposed
Answer:
Pelias wanted Jason to earn the right to rule as king by completing a quest.

Are you surprised that Johnny is being charged with manslaughter even after Randy, a socs, admits that it was the socs fault and that Johnny and Pony only fought back in self-defense? from the outsiders
Answer:
I've never heard of this, but, um, sure.

Where in calypso Borealis by john Muir is personification used
Will give brainliest!
The journey of finding the Calypso Borealis was a hard, but well worth, expedition for John Muir.William Wordsworth feelings toward the daffodils are so genuine. He says “The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves.”When Muir was on his own journey to search for the Calypso Borealis he starts to get feel regretful, thinking he might have to sleep in the swamps over night to find the Calypso Borealis. Wordsworth has such a deep regard for the daffodils that he overlooks the ocean and is just in awe by the beauty of the daffodils. The two authors both express their feelings and the passion they have to describe their emotions of nature to the readers. William Woodsworth uses positive tone, diction and imagery to portray how much he acknowledges the beauty of nature and how his memories influence his ecstasy.”It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy.” Upon finding the Calypso Borealis, Muir uses a positive tone and expressive language to express his admiration for the flower, not solely because of its existence but also due to its survival, adventure, bloom and for being profound in the midst of that unwelcoming surroundings. The imagery of Calypso Borealis as a person develops an understanding of nature is inspiring. “How long I sat beside Calypso I don’t know. Hunger and weariness vanished”. The author uses the metaphor to outline how staring at the flower gave him the strength to sustain hunger and refresh from exhaustion. He cannot even remember how much he sat next to the flower this displays the magnitude of love for the nature and the resulting influence towards John Muir.
Explanation:
William Woodsworth’s positive tone, diction, and imagery, as well as the positive connotation, demonstrates his joy while discussing his commemorations of nature and providing us such a vibrant image of the experience. “I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills, beside the lake, beneath the trees and Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” Through the usage of the imagery, the author compares his loneliness to a floating cloud in the sky above the valley and hills. The comparison to a cloud, explains how close he is to nature. The cool breeze was whirling as the daffodils swayed slightly dancing merrily, this describes the exciting experience of the author on nature.”The waves beside them danced, but they out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay.” The connotation of dancing waves describes the natural pleasure and the happiness of the poet for being in such a charming company. The attractiveness of the sight gave him a lot of joy as his attention had been captured by the view of beautiful flowers. The positive note adopted in describing the nature of the waves explains the positive attitude of the author. Through the remembrance of the daffodils, his heart would immediately be filled with pleasure and express it by dancing along with the lovely flowers.
In conclusion, it is indeed true that William Woodsworth and John Muir adopted devices such as positive tone, diction, and imagery to express their happy memories of the perfect moments that they shared with nature. The stylistic tools play an essential role in adding weight and stressing the description of the relationship between the authors and nature. The two articles help in broadening the perspectives of the readers in relating the events by putting themselves in the shoes of the authors.
John Muir used personification to show the things nature can bring to human beings in the form of feelings. He wrote this poem to sing about himself, and expressing his thoughts about democracy, to set free his human passion, to praise great nationality.

How do the details of the poem present individual Americans? What connections among individuals does the poet Blanco see?
This question is about the poem “One Today” by Richard Blanco.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The poem's details present Americans as workers from the most different sectors, from those who work in professions that we recognize as well as those who build bridges, who make newspapers, who clean tables, among other less admired service workers, but still essential for the country. With that, the poet showed that each American is important in a unique and unique way.
2. In addition to joint cooperation between individuals, the poet recognizes the ability to generate connections, among Americans, through mourning. This can be seen when he refers to the armed massacres that took place in schools and caused the death of many children. The mourning of the children's families establishes a connection with the whole country, which is also in mourning.

Answer:

Explanation:
Pretend that you live in a time when yellow journalism is common. You are in charge of writing five headlines that will capture people's attention. Use some of the top stories from this week's news as your starting point. Read five articles and create a new yellow journalism headline for each of the articles. Remember that it's okay to exaggerate in these headlines. For each of the headlines that you create, write a sentence or two describing why you think the headline would grab people's attention.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
If I am in charge of writing five headlines that will capture people's attention using yellow journalism, I would write the following.
1.- Half of the US population will die if the vaccine is not available at the end of December.
This exaggerated headline would capture people's attention due to the fear most people are living in right now due to the pandemics.
2.- Trump's administration is driving the country to chaos and extermination.
This exaggerated headline would capture people's attention because half of the American people still support the president's idea that elections were corrupted while the other half supports Joe Bidden, creating one of the most notorious divisions in the US society of all times.
3.- The US economy is the worst since the Great Depression. And is not getting better.
This exaggerated headline would capture people's attention because if it is true that economic conditions are not at its best, sensationalistic headlines like this can instill more fear and desperation in the American society.
4.- No more football this winter season, as players are increasing testing positive.
This exaggerated headline would capture people's attention because football is the favorite sport in America and right now, it is one of the fewest sources of entertainment.
5.- Thanksgiving? Is there a reason to be grateful during this pandemic year?
This exaggerated headline would capture people's attention because is so negative during these positive days of expressing gratitude.
