Item 5
Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”

“We kept these things for some days,” said Holmes, “because we expected to see an advertisement from you giving your address. Why didn’t you advertise?”

Our visitor laughed sheepishly. “Shillings are not so plentiful with me as they once were. I thought that the gang of roughs who attacked me had carried off both my hat and the bird. I thought it would be a waste of money to try to get them back.”

“Of course. By the way, about the bird, we had to eat it.”

“To eat it!” Our visitor half rose from his chair in his excitement.

“Yes, it would have spoiled if we hadn’t. But here is another goose. It is about the same weight and perfectly fresh. Will it do?”

“Oh, certainly, certainly,” answered Mr. Baker, sighing with relief.

“Of course, we still have the feathers, legs, crop, and so on of your own bird, so if you wish—”

The man burst into a hearty laugh. “They might be useful as souvenirs of my adventure,” he said, “but beyond that, they are of no use to me.”

Sherlock Holmes glanced sharply at me with a slight shrug of his shoulders.

Question 1
Part A

What can readers conclude based on the details in the text?


Because it was a gift for his wife, Baker is upset about the loss of the goose.

Mr. Baker does not advertise to find his lost items because they are worthless.

Holmes wants Watson to admit he was right about Baker’s innocence.

Mr. Baker is unaware that a valuable gem was hidden in the goose.

Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?


“Sherlock Holmes glanced sharply at me with a slight shrug of his shoulders.”

“’To eat it!’ Our visitor half rose from his chair in his excitement.”

“‘They might be useful as souvenirs of my adventure,’ he said, ‘but beyond that, they are of no use to me.’”

“’I thought that the gang of roughs who attacked me had carried off both my hat and the bird.’"

Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. They are words that express contrasting or contradictory concepts. When used together, antonyms can create a clear distinction or provide a balance of meaning.

They play an important role in language to provide a range of meanings. They are also helpful to express contrasts or differences between concepts. They help to expand vocabulary and enhance communication.

Think about what you eat each day. Do you eat each day. Do you eat from all five food food group Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, Milk, or Meat, Beans, and Fish? Write 5 to 7 maybe sentences explaining why your diet is healthy or unhealthy. Give examples of foods you eat from different food groups.

Also add this- Introduction, Reasons, Conclusion

Answers

Answer:

Myplate reminds us to:

Choose variety: The best meals have a balance of items from different food groups.

Make half of your plate vegetables and fruits.

Make at least half of your grain servings whole grains.

Drink fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk and water instead of soda, sports drinks, and other sugary drinks.

Avoid large portions.

Different food groups have different nutrients and health benefits. If you regularly skip a group, over time you won't get the best nutrition.

The vegetable portion of MyPlate is shown in green. It's one of the largest sections on the plate. That's because vegetables provide many of the vitamins and minerals we need for good health. Veggies are naturally low in calories, and the fiber in them helps us feel full.

Choosing variety is important when it comes to vegetables: Dark green vegetables (like broccoli, spinach, and kale) provide different nutrients from orange and red vegetables (like squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes). The "eat your colors" message that you might have learned in grade school is a good one to follow throughout your life.

Like veggies, fruits have vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The red section of MyPlate is slightly smaller than the green, but together fruits and veggies should fill half your plate. Whole fruit is the best choice: Fruit juices have more sugar and calories per serving than whole fruit, and you're not getting the fiber.

As with veggies, it's good to mix up your fruit choices: a colorful fruit cup is more than just pretty — it's a nutrition powerhouse.

The orange section of MyPlate is about one quarter of the plate. Whole grains are more nutritious and have lots of dietary fiber that can help you feel fuller longer. Refined grains are processed, removing vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Most refined grains are enriched, which means that some of the nutrients, but not fiber, are added back after processing.

At least half of the grains you eat should be whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, or oatmeal.

High-protein foods help the body build and maintain its tissues. They also have important vitamins and minerals, like iron.

The purple section of MyPlate is about a quarter of the plate. Foods high in protein include beef, poultry, seafood, dry beans and peas, eggs, nuts, and seeds. Tofu and veggie burgers or vegetarian meat substitutes are also good sources of protein. When eating meats, choose lean or low-fat options.

The blue circle on the MyPlate graphic represents dairy products that are rich in calcium like milk yogurt, and cheese. Calcium-fortified soy milk is also included in the dairy group. Calcium builds strong bones and teeth. Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products most of the time.

The blue circle shows dairy as a side to your meal like a glass of malk but dairy can be part of your meal, like a cheese quesadilla, or served as a snacke or dessert. Yogurt with fresh fruit or a fruit smoothie made with no-fat milk make great desserts.

46. Once registered, immigrants were free to enter the New World and start their new lives. But if they were sick, they spent days, weeks, months even, in a warren of rooms. Some, like the tuberculosis ward, were open to the sea, where a gentle New York harbor breeze cleansed their lungs, improving their chances. Other rooms were solitary, forlorn places where the illness itself decided when to leave or stay. Most patients in the hospital or Contagious Disease Ward recovered, but some were not so lucky. More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there.

49. In 1954, after 62 years of operation, Ellis Island was closed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. For ten years, the Main Building stood vacant. Vandals made off with anything they could carry, from doorknobs to filing cabinets. Snow swirled through broken windows, roofs leaked, weeds sprang up in corridors, and interior walls soaked up harbor moisture like sponges. In 1965, Ellis Island became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, overseen by the National Park Service. Nearly thirty years later, in 1990, the Main Building was fully restored and opened as the Immigration Museum.

Choose one character from the myth Damon and Pythias and explain how and why that character changes over the course of the myth. Describe at least one conflict that character faces. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Damon is a close friend of Pythias, who is sentenced to death by the tyrant Dionysius. Damon offers to take Pythias' place in prison, allowing Pythias to go home and settle his affairs before his execution. Pythias is allowed to return to Syracuse to arrange his affairs, on the condition that if he does not return, Damon will be put to death in his place.

Initially, Damon is portrayed as a loyal and selfless friend, willing to sacrifice his own life to save that of his friend. However, as the deadline for Pythias' return approaches and Pythias has yet to come back, Damon begins to have doubts and fears. He starts to question whether Pythias will return and whether he has made the right decision in taking his place. Dionysius, the tyrant, also try to tempt Damon with power, wealth, and status if he would not return to prison.

The conflict that Damon faces in the myth is the struggle between his loyalty to his friend and his own self-preservation. He must weigh the potential loss of his own life against the value of his friendship with Pythias. In the end, Pythias does return, and the tyrant is convinced of their friendship and spares their lives, Damon's trust and loyalty shown to his friend is rewarded.

It is interesting to note that the story of Damon and Pythias is often used as a representation of the Greek concept of Philia (friendship) which was considered a highly valued virtue in ancient Greece.
