Answer:
1. Robbins profiles three successful adults who were rejected, mocked, and bullied in high school because they were different.
2. Runners, swimmers, and basketball players are all athletes, just different kinds.
3. Alexandra Robbins says that geeks can have character traits such as empathy, intelligence, and creativity that serve them well later in life.
4. Robbins says that popular students might be instigators of aggression, members of cliques, and exhibitors of exclusionary behavior.
5. The argument suggests that students who are popular may not do as well in school and may not be as good at finding success after graduation. Correct
Explanation:
Non-parallel grammatical structures involve the use of verb forms that do not have the same base form when comparing two or more things. For example, this sentence uses verb forms that do not have the same base forms: Running, swimmers, and basketball players are all athletes, just different kinds. The verb, running, is not in the same base form as swimmers and players.
Parallel grammatical structures make comparisons with verbs that are in the same base forms. Example is; Robbins profiles three successful adults who were rejected, mocked, and bullied in high school because they were different. Rejected, mocked, and bullied are all in the same base form.

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse
Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two
The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.
There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.
He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.
He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.
He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.
"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.
"All set, Captain."
"You understand the program?"
Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."
Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.
"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.
He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

Answer:
The way these lines indicate foreshadowing is by creating fear and suspense.
Explanation:
These words clearly tell us that something is not quite right. They take us to a gothic environment, which can predict something dark where the reader feels suspense and fear.
The fact of entering a dingy tunnel, with little light cannot be a sign that something good is going to happen.
Remember that foreshadowing is a tool used by the author to give us clues about what may happen later in the story.

Adele whimpered, pulling her dark turtleneck over her head. The classroom was empty and silent, as nobody would want to waste their break inside the gloomy room.
Except her.
Mr. Bob walked in, his forehead etched with lines of concern.
"What are you doing here?"
Adele didn't answer, instead looking outside the window.
Today was the day of school singing auditions. Everyone else in her class had rushed to the stadium during break to audition. The winner would get a free trip to Ottawa. She had always wanted to go to the capital.
Her mind reassured herself. Nobody likes to go to the capitol anyways. Too crowded.
Maybe if she told herself that enough she would believe it.
"Its the auditions, isn't it?" asked Mr. Bob. Adele nodded.
He sat down at a desk. He looked almost comical, stuffed in the tiny chair, but his face was grim. "I never wanted to be a teacher."
Adele snorted. Mr. Bob was always so crabby, so that was no surprise.
"I wanted to be a lawyer. I was to scared to go to law school. So I stayed in my hometown." His face turned pensive
Adele pretended she wasn't listening.
"If you want to audition, you should go for it," he said hastily, looking embarrassed.
Ok I know this is super TERRIBLE but do something along those lines, like someone is too scared to achieve their goals, but when they try they win.
Hope this helped :)
How long had you been owning/owned the flat before you sold it?My shoes were dirty because I had been working/I had worked in the garden?
Answer:
How long had you owned the flat before you sold it?
My shoes were dirty because I had worked in the garden?
Explanation:
The past perfect tense also known as the pluperfect is used to refer to an action or event that occurred before a specified time in the past. It is formed by combining 'had' with the past participle or past tense of the main verb. In the two sentences above, the correct tenses are;
had you owned, and
had worked.
The events happened before a specific time in the past. For example, The first subject owned a flat in the past, before he sold it. The ownership as well as the sale were both past events.
What news does Anne receive on September 8? How does this impact her life, and the
lives of the others in the annex?
Answer:
She wrote, “On Wednesday, September 8, we were listening to the seven o’clock news when we heard an announcement: ‘Italy has capitulated.’ Italy has unconditionally surrendered! The Dutch broadcast from England began at eight-fifteen with the news: ‘Listeners, an hour and fifteen minutes ago, just as I finished writing my daily report, we received the wonderful news of Italy’s capitulation. I tell you, I never tossed my notes into the wastepaper basket with more delight than I did today!” Anne was so overjoyed at this development that she tried to record direct quotes from the broadcast as she remembered them. She sensed that an important milestone had been reached and didn’t want to let go of the moment, turning the words of the radio report over in her mind as she relived them for her diary. This by no means signaled the end of the war, but it certainly meant that things were going in the right direction. Explanation:

Which of the following lists of words from this passage indicates the author's intention?
a. controversy, debates, believe
b. amendment, constitution, citizens
c. frequent, public, necessary
d. absolute, firearms, restrictions
Answer:
A
Explanation:
It's pretty much talking about the debate of the Constitution.
The Second Amendment was primarily passed to avoid the requirement for the United States to create a professional standing army, according to several historians. Thus, option A is correct.
What author's Second Amendment of US Constitution?The “right of the people to keep and bear arms” is protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. But without understanding the intent, context, and goals of the draftsmen, it is impossible to comprehend the meaning of this clause.
The Founders believed that people should be able to defend themselves from the government and any other dangers to their safety or individual liberties. Citizens now have the right to protect their lives and property thanks to the Second Amendment.
Therefore, It appears that when it was passed, it was not intended to give private citizens the right to possess guns for self-defence.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS IN OUR CURRENT TIME
Answer:
The reason in general it takes courage to be a Christian is because being a Christian means you forgive all and love all no matter what transgressions they have committed against you and forgiveness of any sin from the largest to the smallest takes courage.
Explanation:
While many claim to be followers of Christ (with the current amount of Christians in the world being around 2 billion) I think only a small amount of them truly follow the teachings of Christ. Christ taught his followers to love all people as they do themselves. That's it. That's the entirety of Christ's teachings in a nutshell. The reason it takes courage to love all is that they may not love you back. Christ is said to forgive those who simply ask for forgiveness and he calls his followers to do the same. “But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. To him, that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other, and from him, that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also” (Luke 6:27-29). It takes courage to love those who don't love you back. To bless those that curse you. Part of loving all is also forgiving all. Even if they burn your house down, or murder your brother because Christ would do the same. I don't think there is anything particular about the current time that would require more courage than any other time period (unless we are talking about countries where Christians are persecuted in which case yes, it take courage to announce your following of christ in those countries) because all being Christian means is loving all. That message hasn't changed. The reason in general it takes courage to be a Christian is because being a Christian means you forgive all and love all no matter what transgressions they have committed against you and forgiveness of any sin from the largest to the smallest takes courage.

The story is Talking to Technology and this is paragraph 5
(5) Simply put, the reason is that human beings rely on more than words to produce
utterances and derive meaning from them. People also rely on context, tone, facial

humor, are often lost on machines.

What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer’s Odyssey?
The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow,
They all their products to free nature owe:
The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields,
With wheat and barley wave the golden fields;
Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour,
And Jove descends in each prolific shower,
By these no statues and no rights are known,
No council held, no monarch fills the throne;
But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell,
Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell.
Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care,
Heedless of others, to his own severe.
A.
The Cyclops is warm and hospitable toward his guests.
B.
The Cyclops cares for his neighbors’ well-being and advice.
C.
The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.
D.
The Cyclops can survive only in the deep, dark caves on the island.
Answer:
The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.
Explanation:
At the beginning of the text, we can see that the world in which the Cyclops lived was a wild world, which was not domesticated and did not have laws that would establish norms among them. This shows us that the Cyclops lived in a great social confusion, without any type of regulation and without following the rules that organize and establish the civilized human world.
