Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.
Which phrase from the excerpt best helps the reader identify the author’s purpose?
“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings”
“I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods”
“many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world”
“we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures”

In Wiesel's opinion, why is "indifference more dangerous than anger and hatred"?
Answer:
Indifference is markedly more dangerous than other negative feelings, such as hatred or anger, because in the latter, despite wishing evil or having negative feelings about something or someone, there is an interest on the part of the person regarding that thing or person. On the other hand, in indifference, the disinterest is total, which can lead to a lack of attention to the thing that can cause harm, both in the person who is indifferent and in third parties.

Complete the sentence by adding a dependent clause. Please type in complete sentence. Observe correct Capitalization and punctuation.
The plant withered__________.
Please help, this is due today!!
Answer: and died soon after.
Explanation:
The plant withered and died soon after.
A dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone if not in a sentence i.e. it does not make sense as a sentence.
For example, Jane ate all the leftover because she was hungry.
In the above, the underlined is the dependent variable. Notice how it cannot be its own sentence because alone it would not make sense.
In the above, I added the dependent clause; ''and died soon after'' because it is a dependent variable as well as what usually happens to withered plants.

What line best indicates the state of the statue?" (In "OZYMANDIAS")
Options
"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"
"And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, / Tell that its sculptor well those passions read / Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things," (Lines 5-7)
"And on the pedestal these words appear: / My name is Ozymandias, king of kings" (Lines 9-10)
The speaker describes her tomb as a "house," showing she views her body's final resting place as one of comfort rather than fear."I met a traveller from an antique land / Who said: ‘Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Stand in the desert...'" (Lines 1-3)
Answer:
"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"
Explanation:
Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" describes a traveler's encounter with an ancient statue of Ozymandias and how dilapidated it had become. The poem is suggestive of the destructive power of nature and how man's works seemed mere obstacles for the stronger power of nature.
In the words of the poet through the traveler, we can know that the once-mighty statue of Ozymandias had now become "a shattered visage [with] wrinkled lip." Though proudly displayed with the words "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!", the only thing that remained is a "decay[ing] colossal wreck".
The words "decay" and "colossal wreck" best indicate the state of the statue.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

It began on a pointy July afternoon:
I was the most smart doctor around,

My talented friend,
My princess.

We wanted to natter together, around the world,

Together we evicted a chip munk.
It was sharp, so sharp.
From that moment our relationship changed.

Oh no! Oh no!

I thought my neck had burst into flames,
(But I was actually overreacting a little.)
But still, she is in my thoughts.

That pointy July afternoon.
My neck... ouch!
When I think of that talented princess,
That talented princess and me.

What is the difference between a fact and an opinion? Give an example of each.
Answer: Facts will also be unbiased. They do not support only one perspective and present the information in an objective manner. For opinions, the author's writing might be biased and written in a way to try to persuade the reader to believe in what he or she is saying.
Explanation: For example, your friend says that all ice cream is tasty. This is their opinion, because not everyone may think the same way, nor can it be proven to be true. Opinions may not be rooted in fact or be supported by strong evidence, though there are exceptions, such as in the case of expert opinions.
