Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.
My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!
I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement, but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this.
Which detail best supports Kamen’s opinion that he was hooked on making things out of metal?

59:21 Read the excerpt from The Green Gables Letters by L. M. Montgomery. The woods are getting ready to sleep—they are not yet asleep but they are disrobing and are having all sorts of little bed-time conferences and whisperings and good-nights. What meaning does the use of personification convey? It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are tired and ready for bed. It conveys the idea of trees losing their leaves and making noises in the wind. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are talking to the author before they go to sleep. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are not able to sleep, so they keep talking to one another.
Answer:
It conveys the idea of trees losing their leaves and making noises in the wind.
Explanation:
The author's use of personification in this context shows that the woods are shedding their leaves. Personification involves the attribution of the qualities of a living thing to a non-living thing. The trees shed their leaves during the dry season and that ushers them into a state of unproductivity till they feel the rains and come to life again.
On a similar note, the trees in the woods being spoken of by the author are shedding their leaves and this is catalyzed by the winds which blow them about as they make some whispering noises.

Please read the following and write a response that is 2-3 paragraphs in length. Each paragraph should be 5-7 sentences in length.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.
This age-old adage has been passed down through the generations. Typically, it’s an offhand response from a parent to a child when someone has said something that hurt the child’s feelings. After all, as long as there’s no physical damage, then everything must be fine, right? Hurtful words are often treated as inconsequential. People assume they can be easily brushed aside and smoothed over with a flimsy apology on the part of the perpetrator.
But the truth is, words can hurt — in more ways than one — and the effects often far outweigh any scrape or bruise.
In today’s world, our stories are no longer limited to simple word-of-mouth tales or even hard-bound books. Words are digital and far-reaching, passed around on websites, on social media, and in text messages. More often than not, the words we publish online are not really for the benefit of others, but for ourselves. Writer Gracy Olmstead says, “in the world of internet and social media, another narrative has begun to reign supreme: namely, the self-narration.”
So, what happens when the words we use become more about self-gratification than genuinely helping or communicating with others? The result can be anything from shameless selfies to cyberbullying, and the effects are tangible.
The Texas Education Code defines bullying as an act that “exploits an imbalance of power and involves written or verbal expression.” This has recently expanded to include digital forms of communication. These include “sending vicious text messages, emails or instant messages,” and “spreading rumors or gossip by posting it to social networking sites.” The sneaky thing about cyberbullying is that because it’s not physical, we underestimate its negative effects. With the anonymity and distance the internet provides, cyberbullies don’t have to face the consequences of their actions, and often feel free to say whatever they want about others.
History has proven that words can be just as potent weapons as — if not more so than — sticks and stones. During World War II, “the Nazi regime employed propaganda to impress upon German civilians and soldiers that the Jews were not only subhuman but also dangerous enemies.” The words of the German government became the defining narrative of an entire group of people. While this false propaganda seems a far cry from the problems facing teenagers today, they all demonstrate the impact of words.
Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie put it simply when she said that the stories we tell are often about power. “Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person,” Adichie said. Perhaps the answer is not to fight to be heard, but rather to learn to listen. When we are empowered to tell our own stories or share our own points of view, our words can have positive, transformative effects. They can help people understand other experiences and see the world differently.
Now that you’ve read about the effects words can have, what do you think? Has anyone ever said something about you that was hurtful or untrue? What did you do about it? How have you used words to solve a problem, bring people together, or share your own story? Why do words matter?
Answer:
fight to be heard, but rather to learn to listen. When we are empowered to tell our own stories or share our own points of view, our words can have positive, transformative effects. They can help people understand other experiences and see the world differently.

Note: A dependent clause is a complete thought with a subject and a predicate that is not able to stand alone unlike the independent clause.
Hamlet character is complex in the excerpt because his loyalty to his ally endures hardship
Answer:
His erratic behavior confuses his friend.
Explanation:
The following passage is the one you were given. It's a part of Act III of Hamlet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare:
Rosencrantz: My lord, you once did love me.
Hamlet: So I do still, by these pickers and stealers.
Rosencrantz: Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to your friend.
Hamlet: Sir, I lack advancement.
Rosencrantz: How can that be when you have the voice of the king himself for your succession in Denmark?
Hamlet: Ay, sir, but 'While the grass grows,'—the proverb is something musty.
The options you were given are the following:
His loyalty to his ally endures hardship. His erratic behavior confuses his friend. His desire for revenge defines him. His quest for political power is unwavering.The given dialogue takes place between Hamlet and his childhood friend, Rosencrantz, who was summoned along with Guildenstern by King Claudius to distract Hamlet from his apparent madness and if possible to discover the cause of it. We can see that Hamlet's behavior has become erratic (Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper?) and that Rosencrantz is confused by it. He asks many questions, wanting to see what is on Hamlet's mind. This is why the second option is the correct one.
Answer:
B. his erratic behavior confuses his friend.

The pun is, "Santa arrived at the party just to the NICK of time." He's often referred to as "Saint Nick." The meaning of the pun, is, he made it to the party quick, or he made it just in time.
Because Santa Clause is also referred to as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle, the Pun in the sentence, therefore, is the reference to Nick which is short for Nicholas.
What is a Pun in Literature?Simply put, a pun is the use of a word in a humorous way in which the same word exploits at least two different meanings.
Hence, Santa Clause is also referred to as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle, the Pun in the sentence, the pun in the sentence is the use of the word Nick.
