Read the excerpt from "The Legacy of Billy Mason." The pages of the scrapbook were filled with clippings from newspapers, and they were all about Billy Mason and his team—the games they played and the plays he made. At the very end there was an article about Billy himself, how he was hardworking and courageous and how, in his rookie year, he was injured in a home-plate collision. He held onto the ball, won the game, and never played again. He took one for the team. Billy closed the scrapbook. This was his father's scrapbook, left here in his grandmother’s house. Catcher Billy Mason was his father's hero. He had given his son his hero’s name as a kind of legacy. Billy held the scrapbook in his hands as he went downstairs to have his first real conversation with Grandma M. Compared with Billy, Billy's father would have most likely reacted to finding the scrapbook by becoming angry. proud. scared. anxious.

Dear Tashi,
How are you doing? I hope you are doing all good. Its been almost 6 months now since we last met and I'm starting to really miss you a lot. I remember all our crazy plans to travel around the world without even worrying about the budget. Haha.
Now that you're back in your village and plans to stay there for a while, I just wanted to suggest you something. How about you initiate a small social organisation where you encourage young children to enroll in schools.
You are well aware too that education is the foundation of a dignified life, so you can now help the parents as well the children to understand the same. Though you might have your own plans I hope you do something about it because you are quite capable of winning hearts and convincing people to do the right thing.
If you can at least encourage the people from your village to support education and go to school, then there would surely be a better tomorrow for all. Anyway I'm hoping for a reply from you. Let's talk about it more if you decide to do it. Thank you.
Your's lovingly,
Amber.
In the excerpt at the right, Odysseus has been offered a meal by Circe, an enchantress who has turned a group of his men into pigs. What do you learn about Odysseus from these
lines? What values does he represent?
Answer:
I learned that Odysseus is somebody powerful, he is offered a meal from an enchantress. The values he represents is unlucky, and chosen.
Explanation:
An enchantress is a woman who uses magic or sorcery, especially to put something or someone under a spell. Circe wants to put Odysseus under a spell. This makes me believe that Odysseus is unlucky and chosen.

According to the article what happened before ptolemy wrote his almagest
Throughout history, humans have looked to the stars for answers. It's likely that stargazing gave rise to the science of astronomy, possibly the oldest science known to humankind. As civilizations advanced, they became more dependent on understanding the patterns and cycles of celestial bodies. Farmers relied upon astrological calendars to plant and harvest their crops; sailors steered across vast oceans using celestial maps. Modern astronomy owes much to the ancient civilizations of the past. In fact, the roots of astronomy can be traced to somewhere around 4000 B.C., when the oldest astronomical observations ever recorded took place in both Egypt and Central America. Also important were the ancient civilizations of China and Mesopotamia. They developed solar and lunar calendars that date
back to 2000 B.C. Equally, the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through
a process of logic and observation. Ptolemy's Almagest, written around 150 A.D., forever affixed the mathematical approach to astronomy. However, he theorized that the solar system was geocentric, meaning that the Earth was the center of the solar system. Hundreds of years later, during the Renaissance, a Polish-born astronomer named Copernicus published his On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres in 1543 A.D. In this work he held that the solar system was in fact heliocentric, meaning that the Sun—not the Earth—was the center of the solar system. More than a century later, in 1687 A.D., Sir Isaac Newton, a founder of modern astronomy, published his theory of universal gravitation. Not until the twentieth century would the scientific community again alter its understanding of the universe through the works of Albert Einstein.
According to the article, what happened before Ptolemy wrote his Almagest?
A. Albert Einstein changed universal theory in the twentieth century.
B. Sir Isaac Newton altered universal theory in the seventeenth century.
C. Copernicus wrote his On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres.
D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics
Answer:
D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics.
Explanation:
From the article, it can be seen that before the Plotemy wrote his Almagest, "The Greeks formed am approach to science based on mathematics."
This is evident when the article says "the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through a process of logic and observation."

I had to do a scale in Italy and then I had to take the flight there to go to Australia. I had to wait four more hours and I was sleepy so I decided to take a nap and set an alarm to wake up in time for my flight. But I didn't. I missed it and I got stranded in the airport for one whole day. It was the first thing that went wrong but not the only one. When I finally arrived to Australia, I had a lot of bad experiences. I felt lonely, I lost money and I missed home. However, I also made friends for life, I discovered amazing landscapes and I had the time of my life. So, nevertheless, it was my best experience.

To complete this exercise, you have to write a story that ends with the line given. Since the line has the word "nevertheless" included, you should write about something that was bad or went wrong but ended up being "the best experience".

Here are some ways you can use or misuse it. Put them in appropriate columns.
1) Use only as much water as you require
2) Close the tap lightly after use,
3) Throw garbage near water source when on picnic.
4) Organize tree plantatlon activities,
5) Wash your vehicle in rivers or ponds.
Don is
Do's
Answer:
Do's:
1) Use only as much water as you require;
4) Organize tree plantation activities.
Don'ts:
2) Close the tap lightly after use;
3) Throw garbage near water source when on picnic;
5) Wash your vehicle in rivers or ponds.
Explanation:
Whatever the activity - washing our car or watering the plants, for instance - we must avoid wasting water. We should only use as much water as is really needed. One way to make sure of that is by avoiding using hoses, for instance, and using buckets instead. Tree plantation activities are crucial when it comes to helping the planet. We all know the importance of trees to help renew the oxygen in the atmosphere and provide humidity as well as a place of living for other species of plants and animals. Having that in mind, we can choose options 1 and 4 to be placed under the column Do's.
On the other hand, we should not close the tap lightly, because it might leak. We should close it tightly instead. Also, throwing garbage near water sources is a sure way of contaminating such sources. The same goes for washing your vehicle in rivers or ponds. Therefore, options 2, 3 and 5 should all be place in the column Don'ts.

Can someone help write a monologue please (character:-motherEarth)she is basically talking about how people on earth are causing climate change..
Answer and Explanation:
MOTHER EARTH: You sprung from me ages ago – my children, my offspring, my flesh. I raised you, took care of you, fed you, gave you shelter. I taught you, through my own phenomena, how to better yourselves and your lives. I taught you to make fire. I taught you to build dams. I taught you to grow crops, to tame animals, to stop hunting. I taught you to build houses and live in communities. I watched, filled with pride, as you evolved, treading upon my own skin. If only I had known what you were capable of. Did I underestimate you? Or did I make myself blind to your ambitions because I loved you so much? Fire, water, wood… they became your weapons. Perhaps, at first, you were unaware of the consequences. Maybe you did not understand you were hurting me. The smoke, the residues, they were side-effects of your progress. You believed I would take care of it all - that pollution would magically disappear in my entrails. But you can no longer claim to be ignorant. You can no longer hurt me unknowingly. Oh, you do know! You can see it now – feel it. You can watch as I slowly die and take you with me. You can feel my fragile balance collapsing, tragically, rapidly. You exploded me, dirtied me, broke me. My own children are my killers.
can you help me i’ll give that brainliest thing if you give a correct answer please asap i have a time limit

At what point in his tragic journey from inception (having an idea to make his experimental drug) to completion (dying) is Dr. Jekyll no longer morally allowed to keep the secret of his research and experiment? For example, was it morally questionable from the start, before he killed someone?
Answer:
Dr. Jekyll's research and experiment was morally questionable from the start.
Explanation:
Dr. Jekyll's research and experiment included creating a type of medicine that allowed him to separate the good from the bad and the dark. This is because this medicine allowed him to transform himself into a good citizen and into another citizen who only had malice in his personality and lived totally unscrupulous.
The problem with this experiment is that the doctor allowed a totally evil and unkindly circulation to circulate around the world, and he could do abominable things. This is morally questionable, even before that individual killed.
