Explanation:
At the beginning of the play, Scrooge is in his counting-house and is concerned with…
A: Christmas Eve plans.
B: signing contracts.
C: collecting money from those who owe him.
B: choosing Christmas presents for friends and family
Answer:
The correct answer is C. collecting money from those who owe him.
Explanation:
At the beginning of the play, Scrooge is quite a negative character who's only concerned with money and how to collect his debts from other people. He doesn't care if they are poor or have to feed their families - all he cares about is getting his money back (even though he is already rich and doesn't need or spend that money).
Sunderland College has historically had an outstanding football team. In its 50-year history, the team has had more winning seasons than any other team in the state. In the last 10 years, however, the team has been on an astoundingly rapid downward spiral-with eight losing seasons. Coach Wilson is unquestionably responsible for this losing streak. Since he was hired 10 years ago, the team has not won a single championship. If Coach Wilson is allowed to continue managing the team, there is little hope of a winning season in the near future.
Which sentence best explains the effect of the words astoundingly and unquestionably in the passage?
1. They help the reader visualize how quickly the team declined.
2. They stress the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.
3. They help the reader determine how many games the team has lost.
4. They stress the amazing skill of the team before Coach Wilson took over.
Answer:
2. They stress the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.
Explanation:
Although from the first sentence, the use of the adverb "outstandingly" helps the reader see how much the team has declined, its main objective in the passage is to show coach Wilson's degree of incompetence.
This was made clearer when another adverb "unquestionably" was linked to the "losing streak" mentioned earlier in the passage. In other words, starting 10 years ago, after a new coach was hired, Sunderland College astoundingly could not win a single championship, which unquestionably indicates the degree to which coach Wilson is incompetent.
What is the main argument or idea presented within a piece of writing?
A.) content
B.) claim
C.) outline
D.) conclusion
Answer: Claim
Explanation:
(1) Humans are characterized by both biologically and socially determined wants. (2) We seek food, clothing, shelter, and the many goods and services associated with a comfortable or affluent standard of living. (3) We are also blessed with aptitudes and surrounded by quantities of property resources—both natural and manufactured. (4) We use available human and property resources—labor and managerial talents, tools and machinery, land and mineral deposits—to produce goods and services which satisfy material wants. (5) This is done through the organizational mechanism we call the economic system.
(6) Quantitative considerations, however, rule out an ideal solution. (7) The blunt fact is that the total of all our material wants is beyond the productive capacity of available resources. (8) Thus, absolute material abundance is not possible. (9) This unyielding fact is the basis for our definition of economics: economics is concerned with the efficient use or management of limited productive resources to achieve maximum satisfaction of human material wants. (10) Though it may not be self-evident, all the headline-grabbing issues of the day—inflation, unemployment, health care problems, government and international trade deficits, free-trade agreements among nations, poverty and inequality, pollution, and government regulation of business—are rooted in the one issue of using limited resources efficiently.
D9. We can infer from the textbook passage that
the "biologically . . . determined wants" in paragraph 1 include cars.
the "biologically . . . determined wants" in paragraph 1 include food.
"socially determined wants" might include sunshine.

A Letter from the Atlantic
Dear Hannah,
I’ve never seen so much water before—everywhere I look, all I can see around me is placid blue. I’m grateful for the calm water today because it enables me to ascend to the top level of the SS Frisia and look at the Atlantic Ocean that stretches before us until it meets the horizon. I feel the warm air on my face and smell the salty sea air, but there’s a pit in my stomach when I think about how different life in New York will be.
When we first set sail on August 21st, I watched until Hamburg became a miniscule speck in the distance. When I squinted and couldn’t see the familiar buildings with their smoke spewing into the air anymore, Papa told me to look the other way. “You can’t look back,” he said as he walked me to the other side of the ship, his strong arm supporting my shoulders. “Home is there now.” He pointed to a place that was shimmering waves of blue, and I had a hard time visualizing a home that was 6,000 kilometers of water. He told me to close my eyes and picture the skyline that would soon materialize on the horizon. I couldn’t even fathom 6,000 kilometers of water, just like I couldn’t fathom that our new home wouldn’t be Hamburg anymore.
Most of the days at sea have been turbulent; tall waves reach up from the bottom of the sea and smack into the ship, sending us to the ground whenever we are standing. We are jettisoned from one side of the ship to the other like billiard balls; we emigrants glance off one another before moving in separate directions. It was entertaining at first, but now the ship’s rocking motion makes me feel sick, so I descend back to the bottom level where my family’s room is. Through the tiny oval porthole, I watch as the rough water laps the glass.
We play games and read and sleep to pass the time—sometimes there’s violin music that drifts into our room at night. My brother and I step out into the hallway in our socks and dance to the fast beat together, and it makes the boat’s rocking seem bearable. Most nights, we practice some English words with one another peppered in with the German that I will soon use less and less. “I am from Germany,” I practice over and over again, elongating my mouth around vowels that are pronounced differently in English than in German. I still think in German, dream in German, feel German words fly off my tongue with a comfort and speed that I worry I’ll never feel when I speak English. What will happen to me if the English all around me displaces the German of my youth?
There are people on this ship from everywhere: The Kowalski family in the room next to ours is from Poland, while the Ivanov family on the other side is from Russia. We practice basic English with one another: “Good morning. How are you?” Behind the closed doors of strangers’ rooms, I hear unfamiliar consonant sounds making up the lyrics to lilting songs. I can only imagine that these melodies are about feeling adrift; though we come from different places, nostalgia and homesickness know no borders or boundaries.
When I write these letters to you, I wonder where you are and what you are doing. Are you still walking along the canals of the Speicherstadt the way we used to after school? Do you still hear the bells of St. Michael’s Church resounding through the air? Does the bakery on the corner still serve our favorite Brötchen when it comes right out of the oven?
I miss you more than I can say in this letter. Say hello to everyone for me and tell them that my family is doing well. By the time I get on land to mail this letter, I will be at Ellis Island!
Love,
Liesl
Read this passage from Liesl's brother's diary.
I draw pictures of New York in my diary every night. Every time I think about New York, my legs jitter with excitement. Everything will be so new and different! I practice English with everyone I know, even with my family who still wants to speak to me in German. I'm starting to think in English and can't wait until English is all I speak. People walk around here like they are sad, but I couldn't be happier. I think I've already forgotten my life in Hamburg. Ellis Island, here we come!
In the fourth paragraph of "A Letter from the Atlantic," Liesl wonders what will happen "if the English all around [her] displaces the German of [her] youth."
How does Liesl's viewpoint conflict with that of her brother?
Liesl fears she will not speak English well, while her brother is confident in his English skills.
Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.
Liesl plans to remain proficient in German, while her brother plans to embrace English.
Liesl is certain she will be able to embrace two cultures, while her brother thinks he must choose one.
Answer:
Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.

Explanation:
Use the excerpts from Macbeth to complete the following task:
Write an essay of at least three paragraphs, supporting the assertion that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth both waver between extreme confidence
and great doubt. Be sure to include evidence from the text to support your answer. Remember to clearly state your main point and use correct
citation in your response (100 points)
Answer:
1. Lady Macbeth:
She is a very confident woman, which is obvious from the way she thinks and fights for her husband. She is very ambitious and wants Macbeth to have a more prominent role in the kingdom. At times, she curses his lack of ambition and confidence and wishes she was a man so that she could do all of these things on her own instead of relying on her husband.
On the other hand, when she and Macbeth commit their first murder of Duncan, she loses that confidence and starts not only doubting herself and their cause, but also feeling great guilt that drives her to madness.
2. Macbeth:
On the other hand, Macbeth initially lacks confidence and ambition. He relies on his wife to tell him what to do and how to fight for what he (or rather she) wants.
However, as time goes by, he becomes more and more confident, especially after the prophecy from the witches and the killing of Duncan. After his first murder, he cannot seem to stop and is driven by crazy ambition, which results in everyone's death.
Lady Macbeth is a self-assured lady, as seen by how she thinks and battles for her husband. She is ambitious and wishes for Macbeth to have a larger role in the kingdom.
Lady Macbeth and Macbeth:Lady Macbeth laments his lack of desire and confidence at times, wishing she were a guy so she could handle all of these responsibilities without relying on her spouse.
On the other side, after she and Macbeth murder Duncan for the first time, she loses her confidence and begins to doubt not just herself and their cause, but also to experience a deep sense of remorse that drives her insane.
Macbeth, on the other hand, lacks confidence and drive at first. He looks to his wife for advice on what to do and how to go about getting what he wants.
However, as time passes, he gains confidence, especially after the witches' prophesy and the assassination of Duncan. He can't seem to stop after his first murder and is driven by insane ambition, which leads to everyone's death.
