I have found this question online, and it is about the short story "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," by Mark Twain. The excerpt is long for me to post here, but it begins with the story told by Simon Wheeler, one of the characters.
Answer:
The option that best states how the author develops the character in this excerpt is:
A. with the use of dialect.
Explanation:
When it comes to literature, dialect is related to how the author portrays the characters' speech. Many authors choose to write words with an uncommon spelling just to show that that is the way the character pronounces them. For instance, in books by Zora Neale Hurston, what should be "I" was spelled as "Ah" to emphasize pronunciation.
The same happens in this short story by Mark Twain. The excerpt we are analyzing here uses dialect to reveal more about the character. For example, Wheeler says "feller" instead of "fellow". Twain wants readers to know that Wheeler is a simple man, in contrast with the narrator of the story who is an educated man and who uses a very different (formal) dialect from Wheeler.
The excerpt that best suits is that the author develops the character with the use of dialect.
Explanation of the character?Dialect in literature refers to the way a writer describes a character's speech. Many writers opt to create words with unusual spellings only to demonstrate how the character would speak them. For instance, Zora Neale Hurston spelled "Ah" where "I" should have been in her writings to stress pronunciation.
Thus, option A is correct.

Answer:
Although she must travel often, she still fears flying across the Atlantic Ocean. Which role does the underlined verbal serve in the sentence above?
Indirect object of the verb
Direct object of the verb
Subject of the verb
Object of a preposition
Object = Characterization

"Whether the independence of the continent was declared too soon, or delayed too long. I will not now enter
into as an argument; my own simple opinion is that had it been eight months earlier, it would have been
much better."
-Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776
Which of the following best rewrites the sentence above?
The independence of the continent was declared too soon. I won't argue that we delayed too long. My own simple opinion is that it
would have been much better if this had not happened eight months ago
I don't want to argue. My own simple opinion is that it would have been much better to delay too long. To declare the independence
of the continent eight months earlier was too soon.
I will not argue that we waited too long to declare te independence of the continent. My own simple opinion is that it is much better
this way. Eight months earlier would have been too soon.
I won't argue about whether we declared the independence of the continent too soon or delayed too long. My own simple opinion is
that it would have been much better if we had declared it eight months earlier.
Answer:
The option that best rewrites the sentence is:
D. I won't argue about whether we declared the independence of the continent too soon or delayed too long. My own simple opinion is that it would have been much better if we had declared it eight months earlier.
Explanation:
By reading the original sentence, we can find the following main points:
1. the author does not want to argue;
2. he will not discuss the independence's timing with anyone;
3. he simply thinks the independence should have happened eight months earlier, that is all.
With that, we can find the best option.
Option A changes the author's opinion completely, even stating that he does not think there should have been independence eight months earlier.
Option B does the same, now stating that the author thinks delaying the independence would have been the best.
Option C changes his opinion by saying that it would have been too soon if the independence had happened eight months earlier.
Therefore, the only option that has not changed the author's opinion at all is letter D: I won't argue about whether we declared the independence of the continent too soon or delayed too long. My own simple opinion is that it would have been much better if we had declared it eight months earlier.
Thomas Paine was a writer and philosopher who published the first pamphlet defending the independence of America.

Only Answer If You Can Truly Help and I'll Give You Brainliest). A debatable topic, one that has two or more sides. It should be a topic that's appropriate for educational purposes and that would interest a broad audience. Consider choosing a topic on which people can take action. You may choose from these topics: 1) violence in video games or movies does or does not influence young people. 2) Using animals as test subjects for medications is ethical or unethical. 3) Argue what is the best way to reduce homelessness in the United States. 4) Green energy is or is not a realistic alternative to fossil fuels. 5) Choose a local issue such as funding cuts or increases for public services like libraries, parks, police, or fire service. 6) Choose a local issue such as homelessness, environmental problems ( waste, water shortages, etc. ) or lack of mental health services. Or, if a different topic comes to mind and meets the criteria, you may use it. Once you have chosen a topic, do a quick online search to see if there is enough information available about it. If the topic is so broad that you think you cannot do it justice in a single paper, try narrowing it. One way to narrow a topic is to ask yourself questions to which you would like to learn the answers. For example, suppose the broad topic is this: Alternative medicines - helpful, unhelpful, or harmful? You might write down questions that make you curious, for example: 1) What types of alternatives medicines exist? 2) What ailments are alternative medicines claimed to be effective for? 3) What studies have been done about alternative medicines? 4) What results have doctors and patients reported? Such questions can guide your research. 1) Write your topic. 2) Write two or more questions that you would like answered about your topic. 3) If you wish to narrow your topic, write the narrow version here. 4) Phrase your topic as a research question that your project will answer.

Which of the following statements is the BEST comparison of the two passages? (Paragraphs at the bottom)
Both writers point out the negative consequences of having preteens post material online.
Both writers think that preteens should participate in social media to prepare them for the future.
Both writers think that preteens are old enough to understand the consequences of their online activities.
Only one writer thinks that preteens are old enough to understand the consequences of their online activities.
Because social media has become so prevalent in our society, it is important for adolescents to learn how to use these tools appropriately. By the time children reach the age of 11 or 12, they have already become quite aware of the allure of social media. Eleven is old enough for children to understand the consequences of their actions, both online and off. During the preteen years, children should begin participating in the world of social media so that they will be well prepared to interact in this world by the time they become teenagers and adults.
—Point, paragraph 2
Of course, preteens can’t be expected to have the foresight necessary to keep from posting words and images that might come back to haunt them later. People are especially sensitive to criticism and embarrassment during the preteen years, and something that might seem like a good idea to post one day might be a terrible idea the next. Once something is posted on the Internet, it remains there forever. Even after you take it down, it might resurface later—even if you don't want it to! We live in a world in which politicians can be brought down by a single photo unearthed from the Internet. Allowing preteens to upload information to the Internet is too risky for their future.

TWICE I WALKED WITH DINOSAURS
One summer we found
a dead baby shark
washed up on the beach,
cut it open with a dinner knife
[5]from the house,
and performed an
outdoor autopsy.1
As we marveled2 at its
miniature anatomy,
[10]reveled3 in the smallness
of each little organ,
seagulls circled overhead.
The ocean was quiet,
barely making waves.
[15]It kept vigil4 for its tiny causality.
The spring prior,
an alligator wandered
onto the beach during my
uncle’s second wedding.
[20]It was far enough away
to merit an absence of fear, but
nobody took photos or said
a word— we just stared
as it settled itself in the surf,
[25]hoping to be cleansed.
Question:
How do the words used to describe the speaker’s examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?
Answer:
I'm going off a hitch and with no answers for me to select, I'm not sure but I believe it sets a tone of seriousness and curiosity with the words describing the world around them being specific and realistic.

How to make a sushi
With explanation please
Answer:
Place the seaweed on a bamboo mat, then cover the sheet of seaweed with an even layer of prepared sushi rice. Smooth gently with the rice paddle.
Layer salmon, cream cheese, and avocado on the rice, and roll it up tightly. Slice with a sharp knife, and enjoy with soy sauce.
Explanation:
I hope this helps :D
Answer:
[tex]\huge\colorbox{yellow}{✏﹏ \: sᴜsʜɪ \: }[/tex]
HOMEMADE SUSHI STAPLES:sushi rice
a bamboo mat (example)
plastic wrap
nori (seaweed sheets)
low-sodium soy sauce
toasted sesame seeds and/or chia seeds
sriracha chili sauce
wasabi + pickled ginger (optional but yummy!)
VEGGIES FOR HOMEMADE SUSHI ROLLS:cucumber
avocado
asparagus
jalapeño
green onion
carrots
yuca
sprouts
lettuce
bell peppers
red onion
radish
sweet potato
STEP 1 – MAKE THE RICE:Combine 1+1/2 cups of rice with 2 cups of water in a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Let the rice simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat after 20 minutes but let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes or so to ensure that the rice is fully cooked.
Feel free to use a rice cooker or (click here) for shortcut sushi in under 2 minutes; quinoa also makes an excellent substitute for rice! Cooking the rice is the only time-consuming part of the entire process. While it cooks, save time by prepping your fish, veggies, and sauces!
STEP 2 – SEASON THE RICE:If you don’t already own rice vinegar, feel free to opt for the pre-seasoned variety to save yourself a step. If you already have a bottle of rice vinegar or have white vinegar on hand, simply season with salt and vinegar to taste. For the rice measurements above you’ll need 1/3 cup of seasoned rice vinegar or 1/3 cup of vinegar seasoned with one teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pour over your rice, fluff with a fork, and taste. Adjust salt/sugar as desired. Remove rice from heat, add to a bowl and cover with a paper towel.
STEP 3 – JULIENNE YOUR VEGGIES:While the rice cooks + cools – prep your veggies! Slice vertically into matchsticks and set aside. Once the rice is done you’ll be ready to roll!
STEP 4 – WRAP IT UP:To avoid messy clean-up and scrubbing, wrap your bamboo mat in plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori on top and grab your rice!
STEP 5 – INSIDE-OUT OR OUTSIDE-IN:The two most popular techniques are inside-out rolls with rice on the outside or rolls wrapped with nori on the outside and rice on the inside. Since it’s easier to make rolls with seaweed on the outside, that’s what we’ll start with for this homemade sushi tutorial! Grab a spoon and spread a thin layer of rice on the seaweed sheet. For large rolls, add an extra layer.
STEP 6 – LINE IT UP:Place your toppings in the center, very close to one another. If you have large slices or an abundance of ingredients you may want to pile some on top of each other.
For rice on the inside: line your veggies +/or seafood on top of the rice
For rice on the outside: flip the sheet of nori so the rice touches the plastic wrap and then add your vegetables to the seaweed-only side.
STEP 7 – ROLL, SQUEEZE, REPEAT:This one’s hard to explain… but it’s easy to do! The first roll will bind the ingredients into the center. Roll approx 1/4 of the mat and gently squeeze (so it sticks) and unfold the bamboo mat. Repeat the process until you’ve rolled the sheet of rice, seaweed, and veggies into a spiral. Give it one last squeeze to seal the deal.
STEP 8 – SLICE AND SERVE:Slice into bite-sized discs with a freshly sharpened chef’s knife. If you’re topping your sushi with sashimi or avocado, first tightly wrap the roll in plastic wrap prior to slicing.
Next pile on your toppings and set up a few sauces for dunking.

Excerpt, Theodore Roosevelt, Inaugural Address
Saturday, March 4, 1905
My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of
Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of
our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We
have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any allen race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manller and hardier virtues wither away. Under such
conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of
[vanity), but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free
government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul.
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves, and we can shirk nether. We have become a great nation, forced by the
fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude
must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of
just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain
from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we
think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a
subject for insolent aggression.
What does the author mean with the phrase "we are the helrs of the ages ..."? (5 points)
It has been a long time since such a country existed,
Only those bom here can benefit from the hard work of others.
The country offers great riches to those who work hard,

The conflict over whether slavery would be allowed to spread into the western lands, creating additional slave states, or if it would be prevented, which was widely believed would set slavery on a track to eventually extinction, was the main cause of the war.
Abraham Lincoln's election as president of the United States in 1860, who opposed the spread of slavery into the western territories, brought decades of political conflict regarding slavery to a peak. the first seven slaves in the South
