Read the following excerpt Patricia Hampl's "The Need to say it and answer the question.
She kept her distance from the printed word of English, but she lavished attention on her lodge newspaper
which came once a month, written in the quaint nineteenth-century Czech she and her generation had
brought to America before the turn of the century. Like a wedding cake saved from the feast, this language,
over the years, had become a fossil, still recognized but no longer something to be put in the mouth.
In the excerpt above, what is explicitly stated?
Grandmother lavished attention on her granddaughter.
The author has been to Czechoslovakia,
The newspaper was written in 1800's style Czech
The author thought the newspaper was a fossil.

Answer:

The newspaper was written in 1800's style Czech.

Explanation:

Patricia Hampl's "The Need To Say It" is the author's skillful and meticulous take on how language plays a barrier for a writer and the creative boundaries within which it bounds a person. This particular work is a form of memoir that Patricia writes, telling her story and also revealing how one can/ must tell their stories truthfully and after deep introspection and truth.

As given in the question, she states how her grandmother "lavished attention on her lodge newspaper which came once a month". Moreover, this paper "written in the quaint nineteenth-century Czech" was valuable to the grandmother "like a wedding cake saved from the feast". She explicitly stated that the newspaper was from the 1800s, which has now become more like "a fossil, still recognized but no longer [usable]".

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

I NEED HELP PLEASEEEE
The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell

Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.

Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.

The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.

So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?

Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.
However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.

In this article, the author suggests the Loch Ness monster may be a product of people's imaginations. Writing in complete sentences, cite two pieces of evidence the author uses to support this claim. Use details from the article to support your answer. (10 points)

.Looking out from his hut one day he saw three robbers fighting and he called out to them. They stopped when they heard the call, but looking round and seeing nobody, they went on again with their fighting, which now became more furious. He cried out again, and again they paused and looked about, but seeing no one went back to their fighting. A third time he called out, and then thinking he should like to know the cause of dispute between the three men, he went out and asked them why they were fighting so angrily with one another. One of them said that he had found a stick, and that he had but to strike it against any door through which he wished to pass, and it immediately flew open. Another told him that he had found a cloak which rendered its wearer invisible; and the third had caught a horse which would carry its rider over any obstacle, and even up the glass mountain. They had been unable to decide whether they would keep together and have the things in common, or whether they would separate. On hearing this, the man said, ‘I will give you something in exchange for those three things; not money, for that I have not got, but something that is of far more value. I must first, however, prove whether all you have told me about your three things is true.’ The robbers, therefore, made him get on the horse, and handed him the stick and the cloak, and when he had put this round him he was no longer visible. Then he fell upon them with the stick and beat them one after another, crying, ‘There, you idle vagabonds, you have got what you deserve; are you satisfied now!’ After this he rode up the glass mountain.
