Kites: Birds of Glory
As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.
Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.
Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.
The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.
Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.

They are brightly colored and vibrant.
They are powerful and skilled hunters.

the phone rang and Gatsby took up the receiver."
The rubies? What is Nick referring to?

Breaking out in cold sweat is a proverb.
Explanation:
hope this helps
Breaking out in cold sweat is a proverb is Nick referring to.
What does Nick symbolize Gatsby?If Gatsby represents one aspect of Fitzgerald's personality—the celebrity flamboyant who sought for and exalted money in an effort to win the love of his life—Nick represents another—the somber, contemplative Midwesterner lost in the gaudy East.
"You're worth the lot all together," the speaker said. In Chapter 8, Nick offers these remarks to Gatsby, the last time he sees him alive. This particular instance effectively conveys Nick's conflicted thoughts on Gatsby.
Nick: This guy, who embodies the objective view of the world at the time (1920s), is a symbol in and of himself. He creates an unbiased picture because he describes himself as honest and says it how it is.
Thus, Breaking out in cold sweat

LOT'S OF POINTS FOR A SHORT QUESTION!!!
Write a two-paragraph (8 sentences) journal entry describing your relationship to your family members. Focus on how your relations with each person in your family are unique.
You can use this as ideas to help you:
-Think about your family and the relationships you have with each member of the family.
-How do you relate to each of them?
-Do you behave differently when you are around different members of your family?
-Do you remember things about your childhood differently than other people in your family?
Answer:
Thinking about my family and the relationships I have with each member of the family, I would say that I am very close to everyone in my personal family. However, if we are talking about people like my aunts and uncles, I am not as close with them. I am close to the people that I see often, mainly because they live close by. I relate to each one of my personal family, my mom, dad, and brother, differently. This is because I have had different experiences with each and have built different relationships with them, though they are similar in concept to one another. For example, I may be close to my brother in the aspect of how we often hang out and joke around with one another. While with my parents, I share past memories with and talk along with them. I may be close to my mom in the fact that we talk about so many different things at any given occasion, while I am close to my dad when we joke around.
I do behave differently when I am around different members of my family. Depending on whether or not we are talking about my personal family and actual family, I am a lot closer, which would be obvious, to my personal family. This is because I spend more time around them and am used to their behaviors/personalities. Around my actual family, including aunts, uncles, etc., I would describe myself as less open towards them and more awkward. This is from the lack of communication with them, unlike with my parents every day. In addition to this, I do remember things about my childhood differently than other people in my family. This is due to the fact that each event/situation that one faces has a different impact based on it. I may remember something different from my brother because that specific event that I do remember may have had an important impact or was significant in shaping my life to what it is now today.

n "Water Flowing from Toilet to Tap May Be Hard to Swallow,” what reasons does Schwartz give to support his claim? Select two options.
"Water recycling is common for uses like irrigation; purple pipes in many California towns deliver water to golf courses, zoos and farms."
"Enticing people to drink recycled water, however, requires getting past what experts call the 'yuck' factor."
"In November, the San Diego City Council voted for a $2.9 billion Pure Water program to provide a third of the city’s daily needs by 2035."
"The processes . . . that clean the water include microfiltration that strains out anything larger than 0.2 microns, removing almost all suspended solids, bacteria and protozoa."
"People tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like 'toilet to tap' can undercut earnest explanations."
Answer:
Explanation :Even though recycled water is accepted for uses like irrigation, recycling toilet water to tap water may make people feel reluctant and disgusted about the idea of drinking it. Besides, the phrase "toilet to tap" may reduce the strength of the advantages of recycling water. The reason is people may make prejudices based on their feelings about the dangers of drinking toilet water
"Water recycling is common for uses like irrigation; purple pipes in many California towns deliver water to golf courses, zoos, and farms."
"People tend to judge risk emotionally, he said, and a phrase like 'toilet to tap' can undercut earnest explanations." reasons does Schwartz give to support his claim. Thus options A and E are correct.
What is a claim?A claim is made to a person and may or may not instantly agree with you in order to persuade, debate, convince, show, or propose anything. It blends a particular point of view with a topic.
In the extract, recognize that the author discusses the argument in which he asserts that desalinating water is necessary but comments that it could be difficult to persuade people to consume reclaimed water due to the unpleasant taste.
Schwartz discusses the necessity for individuals to safeguard their ecology by using treated wastewater that is cleaned so that it can be safe for use.
Therefore, option A and E is the correct option.
