Which detail best supports the author's point of view that writing a humorous story requires great skill?
How to Tell a Story
by Mark Twain (adapted excerpt)
The humorous story is American, the comic story is English, the witty story is French. The humorous story depends for its effect upon the manner of the telling, while the comic story and the witty story upon the matter.
The humorous story may be spun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic and witty stories must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story bubbles gently along, the others burst.
The humorous story is strictly a work of art—high and delicate art—and only an artist can tell it; but no art is necessary in telling the comic and the witty story; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story—understand, I mean by word of mouth, not print—was created in America, and has remained at home.
The humorous story is told gravely where the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through.
Answer:
“the humorous story is strictly a work of art-high and delicate art-and only an artist can tell it;”

3° Rewrite these sentences in reported speech.
1.“I can’t do this on my own!” he said.
2.“Would you like some tea?” she asked me.
3.“I have travelled to many countries”, he told me.
4.“I’ll call a taxi when I finish writing this email”, he said.
5.“Why didn’t you come to the party?” she asked him.
6.“I’m going to see the new James Bond film”, he told me.
Answer:
1. He said that he couldn't do that on his own.
2. She asked me if I would like some tea.
3. He told me that he had travelled to many countries.
4. He said he would call a taxi when he finishes writing that email.
5. She asked him why he hadn't come to the party.
6. He told me that he was going to see the new James Bond film.
Explanation:
Reported speech is the act of reporting the words said by someone to another person. This act of relaying the same speech to a third person is known as a reported speech or an indirect speech. It relays the same meaning but without the use of direct words, removing the quotation marks and some changes in the sentence.
In a reporting speech, we use reporting verbs such as told, said, etc. And the verbs are also changed from direct speech to indirect speech according to their requirements and tenses involved, like present tense in direct speech changes to past tense in the reported speech.
The correct indirect or reported speech are as follows-
1. He said that he couldn't do that on his own. (negative "can't" changed to couldn't)
2. She asked me if I would like some tea. (would remain the same in reported speech)
3. He told me that he had traveled to many countries. (have changed to had)
4. He said he would call a taxi when he finishes writing that email. (will is changed to would)
5. She asked him why he hadn't come to the party. (negative "didn't" changed to hadn't)
6. He told me that he was going to see the new James Bond film. (am going changed to was going)
In "The Hive Mind'', how does the author use the section "How to Study a Bee Brain" to describe how scientists overcome a challenge in studying bee brains? Answer
Answer:
The author shows that scientists have chosen to use metacognition to study the bee's brain.
Explanation:
You can't ask a bee questions to project how its brain works through the answers it gives. However, scientists know that, although small, the brains of the beauties are highly functional and capable of doing great things
To study these brains, scientists have chosen to use cognitive methods, looking at the response of bees to have contact with sugary drinks, through labyrinths, physical obstacles and other structures.
The way scientists resolve the challenges would be:
Employing metacognition for the brain's study.
"The Hive Mind"
The author employs self-perception to recount the way in which the scientists resolve the challenges that take place while studying bees.
The study of bees' brains can be performed by them through their experimentation and self-study which will help them make effective conclusions.
The various cognitive techniques will help them understand the functioning and ability of the brain.

Why is it important to stand up for what you believe in? What are the positive outcomes when people do?
Answer:

Going against what you believe in just because it's more convenient is less than admirable. Standing your ground also gains respect from others, even if they view things differently than you
Explanation:
It's important to stand up for what you believe in because if you don't, people will never understand.
About a couple weeks ago, I came out as non-binary to my mother, and she asked me why...."because I feel comfortable that way..." I said. Then, she retaliated with "Well, if a guy was watching child p### on his computer, should we accept him for who he is because he's 'comfortable'? No." Of course, this was no where related to the topic at hand. I had to explain to her what it meant, and now she is trying to get use to the new changes.
