TRead this passage about Amelia Earhart.

Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, in Kansas. She was an adventurous and fun-loving child. That adventurous spirit remained as she grew older. One day in 1920, after going on a plane ride, she was determined to fly planes. She worked at any job she could find to save up for flying lessons, which cost $1,000. At one point, she worked as a nurse’s aid and a social worker. Six months after receiving flying lessons, Amelia bought her own plane, and she flew as high as 14,000 feet, which set a world record for female pilots. A short time afterward, Amelia became the sixteenth female to earn a pilot’s license. In 1928, an opportunity arose for Amelia to participate in a transatlantic flight across the Atlantic Ocean as a copilot. This experience later came in handy when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1938. She received many honors for this achievement, such as the Distinguished Flying Cross from Congress.

As Amelia approached her fortieth birthday, she was planning her biggest trip yet: She wanted to be the first woman to fly around the world. Of course, she needed a lot of help to make this happen. She made a first attempt that failed and damaged her plane. But Earhart was not one to give up, so she made another attempt at the ground-breaking mission. She did make some progress by flying 7,000 miles to New Guinea but did not make it to her next stop, Howland Island. Sadly, Earhart’s plane disappeared, and, despite search and rescue attempts, she was never found. To this day, Earhart is known and celebrated for her bravery, persistence, and commitment to aviation.

It depends because I cannot see what is underlined

Explanation:

The subordinate clause/Dependent clause is "After I receive my paycheck, " because then what happens like what is next?

The independent clause is "I intend to purchase the vintage Air Jordan sneakers." because the dependent clause can be removed and the sentence sounds ok.

The subject is "I" and "my".

Can someone write me a fable that’s at least 5 sentences

Answers

Explanation:

An ugly, warty frog sat on his lily pad enjoying the sunshine. Another frog hopped along and said, “wow, you are hideous! There is no way you will ever find a mate!” Just then, a beautiful princess came to the pond, scooped up the ugly frog, and planted a big kiss on his warty nose. He instantly turned into a tall, handsome prince, and walked off hand in hand with the princess as the other frog watched with his mouth wide in astonishment. Never judge a book by its cover.

This short story constitutes a fable for two key reasons: first, its main characters are anthropomorphic frogs (frogs that have been given human qualities); they have been given the ability to speak for the story. Second, the story ends with a lesson—“never judge a book by its cover”—which is relayed to the audience when the ugly frog turns into a prince.

Disheartened about the team's prospects in the tournament after injuries to the two leading scorers, Kenji nevertheless tried to be .......when he talked with his teammates.
1. optimistic
2. gleeful
3. humble
4. respectful​

Answers

Answer: respectful

Explanation:

he tried being respectful           i hope it helps

The most appropriate word among the group of answer choices to fill in the blank is: 1. optimistic

Optimism can be defined as an act reflecting a belief of confidence and hopefulness of the success of an event, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.

This ultimately implies that, an optimistic person has a mindset that allows him to view things from a positive and favorable perspective.

Gleeful means to be happy, excited, satisfied or pleased, especially because of someone else's predicament.

Humble means to show a modest behavior with respect to others.

Respectful simply means to be characterized by respect, politeness or showing deference.

Hence, the most appropriate word would be "optimistic" considering the situation described in the text.

In conclusion, Kenji saw the positive side of his teammates in the tournament and expect things to turn out well because he's optimistic, regardless of the injuries to two of the leading scorers.
