"It is wintertime. The weather is cold, but the ants are doing fine. They have their warm home, and they have a lot of food to eat. They can wait for the warm weather in spring. The reason the ants have a lot of food is because they worked in the summer.
So now they have grain to eat. Grain is a kind of plant. People plant it and cut it and then they use it to make bread. The ants get the grain in summer, because that is when grain grows. The ants live in the fields where the grain grows. When the wind blows, some grain falls and the ants rush to get it. They do not eat it right then. They save it because they need to be able to have food in the winter months when plants do not grow. This goes on all summer.
The ants work hard every day. They pick up the grain, they carry it to their home. Every ant helps. Each ant carries one piece of grain. It is hard work. They carry more than they need to eat every day. They carry grain they will eat in winter, too. They play sometimes, but most of the time they work.
The grasshoppers live near the ants, and they love summer. They hop and play and they laugh at the ants. They say, “We have fun every day while you work every day. Come and play. You can get grain later.” But the ants say, “No, we have to work.”
Soon it is winter, and the grasshoppers are cold. They are hungry, too. They do not have food to eat. Since they played all summer, they did not save food for winter.
One day, a grasshopper came to see the ants and he was very hungry. “Please, ants, could you help me a little bit? I am just so hungry!” said the grasshopper.
The ants asked him, "Why didn’t you work in summer? We did. Remember, how you played while we worked? You made fun of us and said, ‘All work and no play is no good.’ Well, now we have food and you are hungry.”
The grasshopper said, "I didn't have the time. The weather was so lovely that I spent all the days singing. I couldn’t help but have fun. We had such a good time.”
The ants said, “We are sorry you have no food. We have a lot because we worked hard. You have none because you played. But, we will give you some food because we are good, kind neighbors. We want you to live, so we will help you now. But learn from us. Playing is a lot of fun. But you need to work to live.”
The grasshopper thanked the ants. The grasshopper had learned a lesson. It is fun to play, but you need to save for winter, too. You need to work if you want to eat. Next summer, he would work and play, too, just like the ants."




Which sentence from the story is an example of an opinion?


"We want you to live, so we will help you now"



"Grain is a kind of plant"



"The grasshoppers live near the ants"



"It is fun to play, but you need to save for winter, too"

Based on the story above, which cause and effect relationship best describes the conflict in the story?


The ants don't like the grasshopper, so they took all its food.



The grasshopper has no food because he played all Summer and refused to work.



The ants are kind, due to the fact that they shared their food with the grasshopper.



The Summer was rough, so nobody has food for Winter.


This story talks a lot about working hard. Based off the connotations and tone of the story, the author thinks that hard work should be seen as...


something to be avoided in favor of fun activities



something that is important and should be a priority



something overachievers do, and not for everyone



a way of getting others to like you and depend on you


Which of the following sentences is correct?


The ants, unlike the grasshopper, spends the summer working.



The ants, unlike the grasshopper, spending the summer working.



The ants, unlike the grasshopper, spend the summer working.



The ant, unlike the grasshoppers, spend the summer working.


Which would be an appropriate thesis statement for an essay on why the grasshopper should work hard like the ants?


In the ant and the grasshopper, the ants are right to spend the Summer working in order to survive the Winter.



I think the grasshopper needs to work harder so the ants don't have to help him.



Working hard is important because if you don't then you won't do well in life.



The story is about grasshoppers who just play while the ants work, then the grasshoppers don't have food.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Opinion= "It is fun to play, but you need to save for winter,too"

Cause and effect= " The grasshopper has no food becuase he played all summer and refused to work."

The author thinks that hard work should be seen as "something that is important and should be a priority."

Correct sentence: "The ants, unlike the grasshopper, spend the summer working." MAKE SURE 'ants' and NOT 'ant" since it's plural not singular.

Thesis: " Working hard is important becuase if you don't then you won't do well in life."

1. This is a metaphor.

2. In this sentence, the great-grandchild is directly comparing their great-grandmother to a wild horse.

3. She is possibly saying that their great-grandmother acted a bit "wild", like how a horse can start acting in ways not necessary or something along those lines.

1. This is a simile.

2. In this sentence, the man is carrying a woman as if (a word used to compare something - used as a simile) she was a chandelier.

3. She is most likely saying that the man is carrying the woman carefully, since the woman is being compared to a chandelier, which needs to be transported carefully or else it would shatter and break into pieces.

1. Simile - She is comparing her name to the number 9 using the word like.

2. Metaphor - She is directly comparing her name to a muddy color by not including like or as and stating that she is something.

3. Simile (I think) - She is comparing the songs to sobbing using the word like.

5. Simile - She is comparing the hurting feeling of saying the syllables to the hurting feeling of hitting a tin roof using 'as if'.

Explanation:

Long ago, there was a man named George who always dreamed of being a director or an actor in a play. He wanted to make his play in a theatre and he did. This man first got his love for acting at the age of twelve. George's parents thought that things like going to a theatre and watching people sing and dance was a waste of time. He watched the first play in his life when he got separated from his parents at a grocery store in a mall. The ten-year-old kid was following his parents but tripped and fell in a pile of water bottles and food containers that were stacked in the store. When he looked up to find his parents, they were out of sight. He walked around the store looking for his parents, calling them "Mom. Dad. Where are you?" After thirty minutes, it seemed hopeless for George. He just sat, waiting for the moment when his parents would arrive. After a few minutes, a man walked up to him. The man introduced himself. His name was Freddy. "Where are your parents?" Freddy asked him. "I'm lost and don't know where my parents are," George said sadly. "Let me take you to the security. You know your parent's phone number, right?" George knew his parents told him that he shouldn't be talking to strangers, especially about things like this, but he was hopeless at the time, "Yes, I know my parent's phone number." While they walked to the security manager at the entrance at the store, the man asked George if he had heard of the newest play at the theater nearby. "I have never seen a play in my life," George replied. Freddy seemed very surprised. "My parents don't like things like plays. They say that they are a waste of time," George said. "Oh. That's unfortunate. I think the plays are amazing. Anyway, why don't tell the security officer what happened," Freddy said. The security officer called George’s parents and they came in a minute. His parents ran to hug George, "Are you okay?" both his mom and dad said at once. "I'm fine," George said calmly. They looked over to see Freddy standing at the corner. In an instant, George's dad went over to him. They knew each other from their job. The mom came over and thanked Freddy for taking care of her child. "Ahem," the security officer cleared his throat. "Oh, sorry, officer," said George's mom. She and George's dad explained that they did not notice that George was not there until they entered an elevator. When they entered the elevator and noticed the door had already shut. The elevator ended up getting stuck and the doors were jammed. They also said that they just came out of the elevator when the call came to them. "I'll let you off with a warning, you must be more responsible, and you should have called the mall security to make sure your child was safe," the officer said. The parents nodded and agreed. Before they went home Freddy requested to take George to a play at the nearby theater. Even though the parents did not want their child to go, they thought about all Freddy had done for them, "You can take him to the theatre, but do you want us to come?" The man shook his head "I think George and I will be fine on our own, right George?" George nodded eagerly. "Well, you better get going, or then the theatre will be closed at this rate." George's dad chuckled. That night for the young child was probably his best. He asked Freddy to suggest a play and Freddy said that the play with a title of Pirate Adventures was one of his favorites. The play was about pirates that were looking for treasure. One of the pirates, who was the only one who had a beard and a mustache had broken the ship because he did not pay attention to a giant rock right in front of it. Luckily, the pirates were fiercer than ever and got out of the ship and were safe. Then they found sunken treasure under the island. "This can't get better. Imagine if I could make a play like that," George whispered as he stood up and started getting ready to leave the theater.

My cell phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it; Valerie is persistent. When she wants something, she will continue to harass me until I give in.

"Hello," I answer.

"State Fair, Bobbie?" she asks in her singsong voice. "When are we heading out? Only two more days left!"

I abhor the State Fair. The boisterous crowds, the insanely long lines, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I utterly detest.

For Valerie, my best friend since middle school, the State Fair is a sign that divine powers really do exist.

"Really, Bobbie, where else can you pet a cow, ride a horse, fall ten stories, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried macaroni and cheese?" Valerie asks gleefully.

"Hades?" I guess.

The fried food at the State Fair is a gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried pickle at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried donut hamburger with bacon, cheese, AND a greasy egg? How could that not be deleterious? Consuming a single serving of fair food has the potential to take years off your life. And I think about this. But then my better nature takes hold, and an image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. By and by, my hatred of the State Fair becomes inconsequential compared to my desire to spend time with Val. Besides, I don't have to eat the disgusting fair food. I can simply admire it from a safe distance.

Alas, I ignore my anti-fair bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon," I say and hang up the phone.
According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because

A. Valerie convinces her using a tempting description
B. Valerie coerces her using peer pressure
C. she recognizes that she does not have to eat fair food
D. she wants to spend time with Valerie

Answers

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because she wants to spend time with Valerie, Thus option (D) is correct.

What is the passage?

The length of a passage varies depending on the context and the goal of the extraction. A passage can be, for example, a sentence's clause, a few phrases, or it can be a few pages.

In the given passage, Bobbie is getting ready for the carnival as he knows there is a loud crowd and the food that he always neglected is there, But then also he wants to go to the carnival because he wants some time spent with Valerie.

Therefore, The right option (D) is correct.
