Answer:
Stevenson is saying that when we take a bird’s-eye view, we see everything in a grand perspective. From there, much of what we humans do seems trivial or unimportant. We feel aloof from the rest of humanity, much as Apollo felt when he looked down on humans from atop Mount Olympus. Stevenson likens the man’s Apollo-like view to the pleasure he found in the northern Scottish landscape.
Stevenson used the allusion to Apollo to say that when we look at our experiences from a new perspective, we find unexpected pleasure and experience personal growth. He assumes his readers will be familiar with Apollo and the allusion to him will help them understand his new view of this landscape.

Answer A
Explanation: ITS THE ANSWER ME BIG BRAIN
Answer:
The answer is true
Explanation:
Because it's right I have looked it up and did research.
Write a journal entry in which you pretend to be a person traveling through the North, as depicted in The Call of the Wild, for a year. Write three paragraphs as if they are three separate diary entries, from the perspective of this traveler. Your writing should explain events from three different periods of time within the year (days, months, or seasons). Pay close attention to the words you use to show that time is passing in your diary.
Your response should be at least 150 words in total.
Answer:
As I make my way through the North I realize exactly how much snow there is. The leafless green trees are covered in fluffy white snow. The air is so cold that I can see my breath in the air when I speak. By the time I made my way up to the camp and gotten the dogs settled it was already dark outside. That's something new for me. It seems so much darker up here than it does back home.
The snow is almost all melted and the trees are starting to grow leaves. The weather is still cold, but not cold enough for me to see my breath in the air when I speak. The ice on the lake is too thin to travel on at this point so I have to take longer routes to get to where I need to be.
The snow is completely melted and the lake water is warm enough for me to swim in. I no longer need a coat or a jacket when I go outside. The air is humid and hot at all times and it doesn't much rain anymore. The trees are full of brightly colored leaves. The farmers can grow all the crops that their hearts desire.
Explanation:
Answer:
Winter, Day 3
Water’s about gone, food is still dry, and winter air is cold. The trail was looking clearer then usually that day so I had decide to ride longer on the covered wagon than I usually do. When I got to a nice clearing to look for shelter and a place to rest the horses, I saw a cave. When I made it halfway into the cave as I was making sure no one was home, there flowed some sparkling, clear, wonderful looking water. I got out my canteen and filled it up until it was overflowing. I then motioned the horses to come and they drank and so did I. I never knew water could taste this good.
Spring, Day 95
It had gotten a lot warmer from when we had left that cave, which by now was probably miles and miles away. Flowers had started to bloom because it was so warm and lots of animals could be seen now. I was able to hunt more animals which provided me lots of food like steak, pork, etc. The water was not frozen/ice anymore. I was able to solve my food and water problem.
Summer, Day 183
Almost to my destination, I am excited to arrive. We had to take a small break because the horses were exhausted and very hungry. When we got back on the ride and after a few miles, I smelt the smoke from a fireplace and I knew.....that I was very very close to seeing my mother and father. I hadn't seen them in a long time because of traveling so much.

The scorpion is rare, but
large and venomous spiders are
common. Which of the
following is the synonym of the
underlined word?
Answer:
Poisonous
Explanation:
The underlined word is venomous, and the options you were given are the following:
non-poisonousnon-toxic non-venomous poisonousSynonyms are different words that have nearly or exactly the same meaning. A venomous animal is an animal capable of injecting venom through a bite or sting. The word poisonous is mostly used when it comes to plants and other substances that can cause death or illness after being ingested, but it can also be used when we talk about animals. In that case, it means producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey. That's why the word poisonous is the synonym of venomous.
The rest of the words have the opposite meaning, which makes them the antonyms of the underlined word.

Essay prompt on professional athletes
Answer:
Get some ideas from this! :)
Explanation:
Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Do you think these people deserve such high salaries? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Model Essay - The question of income inequality has long been one of great debate and interest. Sociologists claim that the economic disparity between the super-rich and the poor has never been greater. Perhaps some of the most visible mega-rich are the athletes and entertainers that we see on TV and in magazines. Some say that these individuals while talented are grossly overcompensated for their contribution to society. While there may be many other professionals who are underpaid relative to their social contribution, famous athletes deserve the salaries that they earn because it comes through a substantial level of risk, after significant investment of time in training and to the great utility of their millions of fans worldwide.
There are physical and social risks that follow athletic performance. Performing at the level required for professional athletes poses significant risks of both acute and chronic injury. Also their reputation is often open for public intrusion. These risks exceed those of most employment and thus justify earning a larger than average salary. Examples of the physical risks have been typified by the NFL player's concussion lawsuit where hundreds of former professional football players are now eligible for compensation from the longterm effects of brain related injuries. The social risks would include the scandal several years ago of Tiger Woods. Now his actions albeit morally reprehensible, were magnified greatly by his celebrity status. Having your poor personal decisions part of the public domain is an aspect of sports celebrity that should be compensated for and the large salaries of athletes in part accomplishes that .
Athletes have invested thousands of hours into training and playing their sport before reaching a salaried level. Some have estimated that even the most talented individual must invest at least 10,000 hours to become an expert in a skill. Thus even though we quantify what an athlete is paid based on one year of current performance, in effect we should be compensating them for all of the effort invested to bring them to that point which in part their large salary does. Consider Olympic gold medalist Kim Yuna a Korean figure skater. She is one of the highest paid female athletes. Long before she was spokesperson for many different companies and winning international competitions she was a young girl who was sacrificing thousands of hours in solitary practice that could have been alternatively applied. The hope and promise of potential financial success helps to motivate talented youth to apply themselves and make great sacrifices to succeed.
Athletes contribute to the leisure and entertainment of millions of fans. Watching sports provides a great escape for many many people who use a sporting event to socialize, forget their problems and invigorate their lives. The fact that famous athletes affect so many people simultaneously suggests that they should be greatly compensated for their impact. For example, imagine a worker at a fast food restaurant; in one hour they feed 25 people. The worker has provided utility or value to those 25 people. Now imagine a famous soccer player playing in a world cup match. In one hour of competition, literally millions and millions of fans worldwide have received great utility as they've watched and enjoyed the performance. Now the fact that the athlete is compensated at the scale that they are relative to the fast food worker is at least statistically reasonable. While some may question the substantiveness of the contribution of a professional athlete, no one can question the raw scale of their contribution to society.
Because of the expansiveness of their reach and impact, the significant investment of time in training and the substantial physical and social risks, famous athletes do earn their impressively large salaries. However coming to this conclusion does not mean that others such as teachers or police officers deserve the low wages that they receive. Some of the same rationale applied above could translate to reinterpreting impact. Obviously law enforcement and other public safety officers are often placed in situations of serious risk. A teacher's preparation initiated long before their first day in the classroom. Also an educator's impact is not just those students in the classroom but also the individuals that those students will later affect as they utilize their education.

What inference can be drawn about Jonas?
The patient has become friends with his therapist.
The patient is a competitive and talented athlete.
The patient is cooperative and determined.
The patient is frustrated with his slow progress.
In this question, the text is missing; here is the missing section:
Read the paragraph below.
Jonas entered the gym and waved to Fiona, his physical therapist. With her guidance, he walked across the floor with a walker, gently putting weight on his injured leg. Then he sat on the bench and lifted the weight she recommended. On the final repetition, he gritted his teeth in discomfort. Finally, he allowed her to demonstrate two new stretching exercises that would restore his flexibility. He tried each one dutifully and assured her that he would perform them every night.
The answer to this question is The patient is cooperative and determined
Explanation:
In this paragraph, the narrator describes the actions of Jonas as he goes to the gym after having a serious injury in his leg. In this, details such as "with her guidance" and "He tried each one dutifully" show Jonas is cooperative because he is following every one of the instructions of the physical therapist.
Moreover, in this text the narrator shows Jonas as determined, this can be inferred in details such as "assured her that he would perform them every night" because Jonas seems quite determined to recover and due to this, he goes to the gym and follows the instructions of the therapist. According to this, it can be inferred he is cooperative and determined.

Jackie Robinson: Baseball Hero
man.
Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919. When Jackie was in school, he played many sports. He ran track and played football, baseball, and basketball. But Jackie had a difficult time because he was black. Most of the people in Jackie’s school were white. Most of his teammates were white. Even though Jackie was a star player, people did not want him on the team. They called him terrible names. Sometimes they threw garbage at him.
After he finished school, Jackie became a pro baseball player. But he could not play in Major League Baseball. Major League was only for white players. Instead, Jackie played in the Negro League. This was a league just for black players. He played on a team called the Kansas City Monarchs.
Soon, people in Major League Baseball heard about what a great player Jackie Robinson was. A man named Branch Rickey went to talk to Jackie. Branch was the general manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Branch wanted Jackie to play for his team.
On April 15, 1947, Jackie joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. He became the first African American to play Major League Baseball. This made many racist people furious. Once again, Jackie had to deal with people swearing at him and treating him badly. Some people even threatened to kill Jackie because they did not want him playing. But through all of this, Jackie stayed strong. He never lost his temper. He never quit playing. Instead, he stayed focused on the game. That year, Jackie helped the Dodgers win the pennant. Jackie was even named Rookie of the Year.
Jackie went on to become a very successful baseball player. He hit 137 home runs and had 197 stolen bases. He played in the All-Star game six times and was named the League MVP in 1949. In 1962, he was named to the Baseball Hall of Fame. But more importantly, he served as a role model for people of all races. Jackie Robinson was brave, strong, and determined. He was a great player and a great man.

What do you think Keats means in these lines from “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”? I may never live to trace / Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance . . . a. I may never live to paint pictures of them. b. I may never have a chance to look at them again. c. I may never leave the shadows as long as I live. d. I may never live to write about them. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
Answer:
D. I may never live to write about them
Explanation:
When I Have Fears is a Shakespearean sonnet (also called the Elizabethan or English sonnet) written by the English Romantic poet John Keats. The Shakespearean sonnet is a poem that consists of three quatrains (stanzas consisting of four lines) and a couplet (a stanza consisting of two lines).
John Keats wrote this poem in January 1818, but it was published only in 1848. The poem tells about Keats' fears as a poet, including that he may die before he has written the volumes and forms of poetry that he is convinced he is capable of writing. That's what the lines I may never live to trace / Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance refer to. Thus, the correct answer is D.
