[1] Sameer took a deep breath, straightened his tie, and turned the doorknob. [2] Despite his nerves he was ready for his first interview and had thought through each potential question.

Which is the best way to rewrite sentence 2?
Despite his nerves he was ready for his first interview although he had thought through each potential question.
Despite his nerves; he was ready for his first interview, and had thought through each potential question.
Despite his nerves he was ready for his first interview, had thought through each potential question.
Despite his nerves, he was ready for his first interview; he had thought through each potential question.

Answer:

Despite his nerves, he was ready for his first interview; he had thought through each potential question.

Explanation:

It is best to put a semicolon before the part “he had thought through each potential question”. This part can stand as a separate sentence, which is why it is correct to put semicolons here, and not after “Despite his nerves” like in example B. This part is dependent on the rest of the sentence.

The reason why it can also be put after the semicolon is the fact it adds the information to what has been said before. Because Sameer thought through the questions, he is feeling ready. This is why example A is not correct – it includes the word although, which would mean that he was ready despite doing something and not because of it.

Example C is not correct because it provides no connection between the first and second parts of the sentence.

By 2020, she ..............(complete) master degree. (Put the
verb in the bracket in correct tense)​

It is said that the world was once Green. That water fell from the skies like the easy tears of children. Imagine. The brown earth was covered in a carpet of emerald threads, which drank this water, whispered in the wind and danced happily in the breeze. From it sprouted tall and bright colored orbs - as high as the sky and as bright as a sun itself. It makes me painful happy to imagine the world like that. Magda says that I need to wake up and live in the real world - the way it is now. Magda has the imagination of a cave rat.

decisions.
O Fate plays a role in determining the outcome of

Which of these is a statement of opinion?
А
Covetous outsiders spent hundreds of years exploiting what little existed of Molokai's
natural resources and then simply left after taking whatever the land would yield.
B
The island of Molokai is not without its economic problems as high unemployment and
poverty rates continue to plague many of its roughly 7,000 inhabitants.
С

occupied by patients who have opted to remain, even though the quarantine was lifted
in 1969.
D
It makes sense to exploit the island of Molokai as a tourist destination, so that the
residents of the island can reap the economic benefits of its tranquil landscapes.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

How does the speaker's metaphor of the mirage in paragraph 4 support the purpose of the speech?

It develops the idea that voluntour opportunities are not what they appear to be.
It emphasizes the idea that voluntour work is difficult and draining but worth the effort.
It reveals the significant contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit.
It shows that voluntourism experiences can even take place anywhere-even in the desert.
