Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild. For two days and nights Buck never left camp, never let Thornton out of his sight. He followed him about at his work, watched him while he ate, saw him into his blankets at night and out of them in the morning. But after two days the call in the forest began to sound more imperiously than ever. Buck's restlessness came back on him, and he was haunted by recollections of the wild brother, and of the smiling land beyond the divide and the run side by side through the wide forest stretches. Once again he took to wandering in the woods, but the wild brother came no more; and though he listened through long vigils, the mournful howl was never raised.
How has Buck changed?
-He has become more anxious about the call from the wild.
-He has become less haunted by his dreams.
-He has become more loyal to all mankind.
-He has become less aware of his past life as an obedient pet.
Answer:
A. He has become more anxious about the call from the wild.

Read these facts:
The Plains Indians lived in teepees because teepees were easy to take apart and move. People were able to take
apart the teepees and carry the pieces wherever they went. Plains Indians were able to move with their houses.
The Maasai choose to live in huts because they are nomadic. They move with the herds of cattle. The huts they
make are temporary and use materials that are found around them.

Which quotation from "The Oasis: Africa" best supports the idea that Mohammed is protective of the Effendi? "‘Risk not our lives by lingering in this evil place.’" "‘Our lives, Mohammed?’ I queried." "‘Courage, Effendi, courage!’ he answered, looking genuinely distressed at my condition." "‘Does the Effendi think I would desert him in his hour of need?’"
Answer:
"'Does the Effendi think I would desert him in his hour of need?'"
Explanation:
The sentence shown above is narrated by Mohammed and shows that he wonders if Effendi does not trust his protection and thinks that he would abandon him when he needs it most, that is, from reading this sentence, we can see that Effendi needs of protection, of help and this is somewhat hopeless, it is when Mohammed gives to understand that he has always protected Effendi and it would not be this time, in the moment of greatest need, that he would fail.
With that we can say that the sentence selected above is the one that best supports the idea that Mohammed is protector of the Effendi.

Throughout The Masque of the Red Death, Poe leaves us clues implying that Prince Prospero will not be able to escape the Red Death forever. Choose three clues and explain how they foreshadow the coming of the Red Death. Use specific examples from the text.
Answer:
We can see that Poe foretells that the prince will not escape death forever. Three examples of this can be seen at:
In the description of the rooms, we can see that the last one, the seventh room, is decorated in black and has the windows stained with blood. This environment has elements that remind us of death and foreshadow that it will arrive at any moment.
Furthermore, when we are introduced to the appearance of people who are caught by the plague, we know that death is coming and that it will not be long.
Lastly, when the sequence of chambers from east to west, it symbolizes the end. This end is a harbinger of death.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary resource where the author uses elements of history that symbolize things that are yet to happen. This creates curiosity in the reader who feels motivated to perceive the moments where the advance information will happen and how it will have the ability to shape history and promote the narrative to advance.

(POSTING THIS AGAIN TO GET MORE ANSWERS)
One week, Gabriela and Luis earned the same amount of money. Gabriela earned $7.50 per hour babysitting and an additional $10 cleaning her neighbor's garage. Luis earned $6.25 per hour doing yardwork. During the same week, Luis did yardwork for 3 hours more than Gabriela babysat. Let h represent the number of hours Gabriela babysat. Which equation correctly represents this situation? •7.5(h+3)=6.25+10 •7.5h=6.25(h−3)+10 •7.5(h+3)+10=6.25h •7.5h+10=6.25(h+3) •7.5h+10=6.25(h−3)
Answer:
•7.5h+10=6.25(h+3)
Explanation:
Gabriela earned $7.50 per hour babysitting and an additional $10 cleaning her neighbor's garage.
Gabriela = 7.50h + 10
h = the number of hours Gabriela babysat
Luis earned $6.25 per hour doing yardwork. During the same week, Luis did yardwork for 3 hours more than Gabriela babysat.
Luis = 6.25x
Where x = total hours Luis did yardwork
x = h + 3
Luis = 6.25(h + 3)
Gabriela and Luis earned the same amount of money
Gabriela = Luis
7.50h + 10 = 6.25(h + 3)
The equation which correctly represents this situation is
•7.5h+10=6.25(h+3)
