Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of
Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States.
But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known: it is home to nearly 3,000 murals
painted on the sides of homes and buildings around the city. In fact, it is said that
Philadelphia has more murals than any other city in the world, with the exception of
Rome. How did this come to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program
pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city.
From this small project, something magical happened. The young people involved
helped to create magnificent pieces of art, but there were other, perhaps more important
benefits. The young people learned to collaborate and get along with many different
kinds of people during the various steps required to paint and design a mural. They
learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the
murals were completed. They also learned to take pride in their community. It is hard for
any resident to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia,
neighborhoods full of broken windows and littered front steps, and you will find beautiful
works of art on the sides and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor
neighborhoods, but more affluent ones as well.
Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which
range from huge portraits of historical heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting the
diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the mural program created by Jane Golden has now
become the nation’s largest public art program and a model for other cities throughout the
country seeking to help troubled youth.

I put my suitcase in the car and hurried in the car to get away from that smell! as I was sitting in the car I smelled the stinky, rancid, horribly smell again! I thought id never get away from this smell. As we pulled over to find out what the smell was me and my parents went to my suitcase and took a big sniff.

I decided to open the suitcase and as I was opening it I was so scared what the smell could be that was in here. I finally opened the suitcase and i was so disgusted, and confused to find out this wasnt my suitcase. this was someone elses suitcase! in this suitcase had dirty underwear, and dirty socks! it was so grows!

Although he was famous as a militia leader, hunter and surveyor, Boone was not adept in business. By most reports he was an aggressive land speculator who often went heavily into debt to acquire property. Boone was also a slave owner, who at one point in his life owned as many as seven slaves.

Answer:

Ethos, because the author references respected institutions like the US Congress and the Constitution.

Explanation:

My Indian has a constitutional right to learn and maintain his culture. This statement best explains the type of appeal the author is using in this passage.

Culture is an umbrella word which incorporates the social behaviour, institutions, and norms present in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, conventions, capacities, and habits of the individuals in these groups. Culture is frequently attributed to or originating in a certain place or location.

The variety of cultures across civilizations demonstrates that humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialisation.

A cultural norm codifies acceptable behaviour in society; it acts as a guideline for behaviour, attire, language, and manner in a scenario, and it serves as a template for social group expectations. Adopting just a monoculture in a social group has hazards, just as a single species might perish in the face of environmental stress.

Hi. You did not submit the statements to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try and help as best I can.

To know this story, you will need to read the book or read one of the many summaries about the book that exist on the internet and can be found easily.

Answer:

Yes, sure; the following is a participial phrase...

Answer:

The option that is important in both rhymed poetry and free verse is:

B. the ideas expressed.

Explanation:

Rhymed poetry places great importance in form and structure. The poet will try to follow a meter, that is, the lines a certain number of syllables. He will also worry about the rhyme scheme - the repetition of similar-sounding words at the end of each line. Depending on the type of poem, the stanzas (groups of lines) will have a specific number of lines in them.

On the other hand, free verse poetry worries about none of those things. Structure and form are not important. Meter and rhyme are not respected. As we can, superficially speaking, free verse and rhymed poetry seem to have nothing in common.

However, both are still literary works. And both value the ideas expressed. It is just that one chooses a fixed form to express them, while the other prefers freedom to do the same. In the end, it is all about the ideas, the feelings, the stories, the opinions. That is what those two types of poetry have in common. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option: the ideas expressed.

An autobiography, sometimes informally called an autobio, is a self-written biography of one's own life.

The word "autobiography" was first used deprecatingly by William Taylor in 1797 in the English periodical The Monthly Review, when he suggested the word as a hybrid, but condemned it as "pedantic". However, its next recorded use was in its present sense, by Robert Southey in 1809. Despite only being named early in the nineteenth century, first-person autobiographical writing originates in antiquity.

Roy Pascal differentiates autobiography from the periodic self-reflective mode of journal or diary writing by noting that is a review of a life from a particular moment in time, while the diary, however reflective it may be, moves through a series of moments in time.
