Read the excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy".


Clearly, "bird brains" are more complicated than we think. And perhaps, we humans aren't so smart after all. That's something to think about next time you watch a bird. And if you see some gulls, think twice before you disturb them. They just might remember your face. And as Larry can tell you, they dive-bomb with missile-like accuracy.


Which statement best explains how the passage supports the author's purpose?


A. The purpose is to inform; it explains how people can safely interact with gulls.


B. The purpose is to entertain; the author jokes that gulls will take revenge if people bother them.


C. The purpose is to question; the author doubts gulls can really memorize what people look like.


D. The purpose is to persuade; the author wants to prove that gulls are the most intelligent of birds.

At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

Review the part of the sentence below that is in bold.

I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top.

What type of language has the author used here?

A: Language with positive connotation
B: Language with negative connotation
C: Technical language
D: Hyperbole

Answers

Answer:

A: Language with positive connotation.

Explanation:

The author thought that they were going to have a bad time but instead they had a lot of fun.

An example: Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

The author is clearly very happy about what has happened, so I think the answer is A: LANGUAGE WITH POSITIVE CONNOTATION.

Droughts have become increasingly dangerous because of...
a. acid rain.
b. oil spills.
c. ocean pollution.
d. climate change.

Answers

Answer: D

Explanation: Because acid rain would not really affect droughts, and acid rain is better than no rain, so A is out of the question. Oil spills usually affect water, and I never heard of a giant oil spill on land, so same with B.

Ocean pollution has absolutely nothing to do with droughts, because Ocean pollution is for the oceans, not land, so only D is left.

Why it's D is because climate change makes the earth hotter, and there is more water evaporating, and more severe droughts.

The answer D
Climate Change

Doñana National Park is one of the major natural wonders of Spain and the world. It is a must-see for any nature enthusiast. There are many species of flora in the park: trees, including pines, flowers such as roses, and shrubs. This makes backpacking solo or with a group a unique and breathtaking journey. Not only does Doñana National Park offer numerous trails and terrain, but it also is home to numerous species of animals, including fish, birds, and mammals making camping an unforgettable experience as you blend the boundaries between nature and self. There are many campsites close to the Playa de Castilla beach along the A494 between Mazagón and Matalascañas, which runs alongside the park boundary. In the summer it's well worth booking in advance when the campsites could be full, particularly in August.

It went far beyond the names themselves and gave him an insight into the entire system of hieroglyphic writing. For the names revealed that hieroglyphs were not simply representations of sounds. Nor did they have an exclusively symbolic meaning, as Thomas Young and other scholars had long believed. Instead, they were a combination of the two.

She has a really bad feeling about this but still continues on the path. At the end of the trail, an old lady offers to help but little does she know the old lady is actually a kidnapper. the old lady takes the girl to her home and gives her a room to stay in. the girl looks around in the room when she stumbles across a dead body under the bed. suddenly she realizes this is not you sweet old lady but really the devil in disguise. The girl can't escape because the window is locked so later that night she puts the body on top of the bed making it a decoy. she waits under the bed. sure enough, the lady is back and viciously stabs the dead body multiple times. when the lady leaves the girl runs out of the house lucky and glad to make it out alive. She walks down the main road to find a bustling city, she finds a police station and explains what happens, the next day they arrest the old lady and return her[the girl] home.
