Answer:
A. Gregory feels pressured to prove himself to his classmates by getting revenge on Mrs. Wessex.
Explanation:
The short story Teacher Tamer by Avi tells of how a bright young boy in school brought a huge impact on a struggling teacher. Mrs. Wessex changed her demeanor after getting compliments from Gregory which also led to a change in the whole class's attitude towards their teacher.
Gregory is a bright student who tried hard to impress his new classmates. Though bright and even good-natured, the pressure of being similar and liked by the rowdy students in his class led him to plan revenge on Mrs. Wessex for her wrongful accusation about the spitball. This revenge was a way to prove his worth to his class and even become what Dory termed “the hero of the whole class”.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer :b. 2.67, 2.674, 2.725, 2.74, 2.87
Explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the lists given:

First list is wrong, because 2.87 is more expensive than 2.674
c. 2.67, 2.674, 2.74, 2.725, 2.87
Third list is wrong because 2.74, is more expensive than2.725
d. 2.674, 2.67, 2.74, 2.725, 2.87
Fourth list is wrong because 2.674, is more expensive than2.67

And I'm going to hold on to what little I have, because I'm too insignificant to conquer the world.

Which sentence is correct? Explain your answer. a. Participants no. 6-10 were called out. b. Participant nos. 6-10 were called out. c. Participants nos. 6-10 were called out.
Answer:
The answer is C. Participants nos. 6-10 were called out.
Explanation:
Nos. is the abbreviated version of numbers.
No. Is the abbreviated version of number.
Since more than one number is written (i.e 6-10), nos. will be used.
Then, because of subject-verb agreement in which the subject and verb should be either both singular or both plural, the word participants will be used with were.
Combining all these together will confirm C as the correct answer.
Given the nature of humanity, do you think Montag and the professors will be able to help rebuild a healthy, successful society or are people doomed to repeat this destructive pattern?
Answer:
It depends
Explanation:
Looking at human history through the ages we see a repetitive cycle of civilizations, countries and the like who start of building a society based on equality, liberty and fraternity, and then somehow get lost to end up as class-divided and authoritarian societies.
Nevertheless, in Fahrenheit 451 we can only have admiration and faith for Montag and the professors, who start of very good by conserving the treasures of wisdom that books present.
As the Greek philosophers already found out, it all depends on education: if the ones in power are willing to share knowledge and educate people then the prospects look good; if not, then the nation is doomed from the start. Because:
Knowledge = freedom; ignorance = slavery
The bookshop sign was a tattered symbol of better days, dangling above the storefront by one corner like a monkey at the zoo. But Rose didn’t care as she pushed open the door, her heart pounding in her ears. Inside, she beheld a room so crammed with books, it was like the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian squished into a space the size of a living room. Stacks of volumes seemed to grow up from the floor like limestone stalagmites in a cave. Dwarfed by the piles of books and the towering shelves, Rose marched bravely up to the front counter and faced the clerk, who appeared annoyed. “If you please,” Rose asked politely, “do you have the book, The Lion Roars, by Penelope Puddle?” The clerk, who couldn’t have been more than 18 himself, peered down at Rose with an angry look on his face. “No!” he barked, scaring poor Rose so much, she backed into a stack of books, toppling the whole pile and triggering a swirling dust cloud. Rose picked herself up and dusted off her clothing, looking for a moment like she was ready to give up. Then she turned back to the clerk and asked in a voice so sweet you could’ve served it with tea, “Couldn’t you please check?” 3 Sensory language in this passage helps convey to the reader A. what Rose's home life was like. B. the atmosphere in the bookshop. C. what other businesses were nearby. D. what actions will likely occur next.

Imagine having an aptitude for moving objects with your mind, like the young girl in Bedhead. Would you use your talents for good or malicious deeds? Choose the best word to replace the underlined word in the sentence above. a. Evil c. gracious b. happy d. helpful
I am assuming that the underlined word is "malicious" due to the options provided.
Answer:
The best word to replace "malicious" is:
a. evil
Explanation:
The adjective "malicious" refers to something or someone that has the intention of causing harm, that has malice. "Evil" as an adjective refers to someone or something that is wicked, immoral. An evil person causes harm. An evil person has malice. Thus, we can say an evil person is malicious. Following that train of thought, we can safely say that option A. evil is the best word to substitute "malicious" is the sentence.
Answer:
evil
Explanation:
took the test
The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony in the family may not be obvious in some households. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of sullen teenagers locked in their room after endless family rows.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly reveals that their family life is more harmonious than it has even been in the past: more than half of 13 to 18-year-olds get on with their brothers and sisters; and one in three has not argued with their parents during the past 12 months. 85 percent of 13 to 18-year-olds agree with the statement “I am happy with my family life,” while a majority said their lives were “happy”, “fun” and “carefree”. Only one in ten said they definitely did not get on with their parents.
“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They are expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There is more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to participate in the family decision-making process. They do not want to rock the boat”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends rather than subordinates. There are actual statements to back this up. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and make compromises,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I am going out clubbing, or which girl I am going out with. As long as they know what I am doing, they are fine with it.”
Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation... or you might have called it bribery. But as long as I had done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. I don’t think they were that flexible with their children.” But maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that ideas of adolescence being a difficult time are not rooted in real facts. A psychologist comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were identified as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been smooth transition from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
“The present generation has grown up in a period of economic growth, and as a result teenagers appear to believe much more in individualism and self-reliance than in the past. That has contributed to their confidence in the fairness of life, and thus a general peace within the family unit.”
But is life really fair? Nine out of ten young people think “if you work hard enough, you will get just rewards.” However, some recognized that this was not actually inevitable – and not always fair. “If you have fewer opportunities and live in an inner city,” one 15-year-old boy told researchers, “you have got to work 110 percent. Otherwise you can work 50 percent and get away with it.”
But greater family stability has to be a good place for young people to start out in life, and the findings of the study support this. In spite of some gloomy forecasts about the decline of the family, the future looks good!
Answer:
Life is fair. interesting thought
