A Three-Point Turn
Chapter 1
"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.
"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."
Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.
"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.
"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."
Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.
"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.
"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."
"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."
Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.
"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"
"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."
Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.
Chapter 2
Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.
Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.
"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.
"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.
"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.
"Yes, but..." she started.
"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"
"Yes," she said quietly.
"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"
"I suppose not," she said.
Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.
"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."
"So let's go do this, okay?
"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.
Using both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of "The Three-Point Turn," write a short essay explaining how Justin is able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test will not be all that bad.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, who is the Scorpion-man and what information does he share with Gilgamesh?
Answer:
The scorpion man was a guardian of the portal of the god Shamash. He tells Gilgamesh that he will allow him to cross the mountain, which no man has ever been allowed to do.
Explanation:
In the Gilgamesh epic we are introduced to the creatures known as man-scorpions, which are known creatures of Mesopotamian folklore. They are guardians of the portals of the god Shamash, also known as the sun god.
Gilgamesh wishes to cross the portals and enter the territory that is established after them. Scorpion men never allow a man to do this, but when they discover the divine and human nature of Gilgamesh, they decide to allow him to enter. In addition, the man-scorpion still says "may your feet take you safely to your destination".
Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run."
Now you take Cynthia Procter for instance. She’s just the opposite. If there’s a test tomorrow, she’ll say something like, “Oh, I guess I’ll play handball this afternoon and watch television tonight,” just to let you know she ain’t thinking about the test. Or like last week when she won the spelling bee for the millionth time, “A good thing you got ‘receive,’ Squeaky, cause I would have got it wrong. I completely forgot about the spelling bee.” And she’ll clutch the lace on her blouse like it was a narrow escape. "Oh, brother."
How does the author develop Squeaky's viewpoint in this excerpt?
by showing that Squeaky feels proud that she does not have to study as much as other kids
by revealing that Squeaky envies people like Cynthia for whom everything comes easily
by explaining that Squeaky disapproves of people who pretend to be something they are not
this answer is correct
by showing that Squeaky resents Cynthia for her superior spelling skills.
nvm i got the answer to this you dont have to answer.
Answer:
I took the test and the answer is "by explaining that Squeaky disapproves of people who pretend to be something they are not" trust me, this answer is correct.
The author developed Squeaky's point of view by explaining how Squeaky disapproves of people who pretend to be something they are not.
The short story "Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara revolves around the story of a young girl 'tasked' with looking after her brother Raymond. The plot is narrated by the young girl Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, or "Squeaky".
And in the given passage, Squeaky talks about how pretentious people can be, like Cynthia Procter. She then went on to describe how Cynthia would say something which is quite the opposite of what she'd actually done.Through this point of view, the author provides us an insight into how Squeaky disapproves of the people like Cynthia, who pretend to be someone they're not.Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

400 words
Answer:
Explanation:
It is Jared from Subway! My whole family is horrified. Jared is an awful person who has done horrible things. My grandmother steps back, shielding my little cousins from him. He is dangerous. That much we know. My aunt shrieks in mortal anguish, demanding answers from my uncle. "Why did you bring that monster into our home!?" she cries, as Jared stands, perfectly calmly, beside my uncle. "I don't know!" screams my uncle. My cousins are all huddled up, crying behind my grandmother, who is holding a long, thin fireplace poker at arms, her very stance threatening to skewer him through. Jared is still standing there, holding a Subway turkey sandwich as if he is not a monster. My grandfather is glaring at Jared, but he does not move. If he stands, he fears he will lunge at Jared. He hates Subway because he hates Jared, and he hates Jared because he is a monster. "He's not even allowed to be this close to children!" screams my aunt, coming very close to punching Jared in the mouth, but thinking better of it. "I'm calling the police" she whispers in a venomous voice, looking at Jared, the horrible, terrible monster that is Jared, as he takes a bite of his dry turkey sandwich. He looks around the room blankly. He seems bored. Of course he's bored, he's a monster. Grandma spit at his feet. "Everyone go to the table. Let's... Eat, and ignore him." Everyone sat, including Jared. Jared from Subway, with his dry Subway turkey sandwich. As the children were served, my Aunt glared daggers at my Uncle and Jared. How could he bring such a horrible person home? To spite her for the divorce? Is that why he brought a monster to Christmas dinner? That would be truly terrible. She watched as Jared took another bite of his dry turkey sandwich. Suddenly, Grandma stood up and slapped his sandwich out of his hand. "You're going to burn, you horrible, horrible man! You know what you did! You know how many innocent lives you have endangered with your horrible ways! Monster!" Her voice ascended in volume while she screamed. She walked a few feet away from him and began bawling. How could her son bring Jared? Why Jared from Subway? My uncle stood up. He shoved Jared out of the kitchen door. He locked it. Everyone began to cry. Jared from Subway was finally gone.
Which main idea does the supporting detail "Food companies spend more
money than ever to advertise to kids" most likely support?
Answer: D. Food companies think selling food to kids is important.
Explanation:
When money is spent by businesses it is because they believe that what they are spending on is important and has the potential to yield a profitable outcome for their shareholders.
If food companies are therefore spending so much money to advertise to children, they must think that advertising to children is very important.

Select the complete predicate of the sentence below.
Lindsay enjoys surfing but isn't very good.
enjoys surfing
very good
Lindsay enjoys
isn't very good
none of these
Answer:
None of these.
Explanation:
A complete predicate is the part of a sentence that contains the verb and everything that is not the subject. This means that the phrase that starts from the verb to the very end, including the modifying phrases that complete the sentence, is the complete predicate.
A complete predicate is different from a predicate in that a predicate just includes the verb and the statement about the subject while a complete predicate will include everything from the verb to the modifying clause or phrase that follows it.
In the given sentence, the subject is "Lindsay" while the verb is "enjoys". So, the complete predicate will be "enjoys surfing but isn't very good", which is not given in the options.
So, the correct answer is "none of these".
Answer:
none of those

A boy wanted some firewood-climbed on a tree-sat on a branch-What happens then?
Answer:
Ok
Explanation:
The night was bitter, the cool brisk air cut Josephiahs nose. The stars littered the ground like leaves on the ground in fall. He was all alone, not frightened but self aware of every detail happening around him. His tent had fallen into disrepair and had holes on the side letting the sharp air blow through it like an open window. There would be no sleep. Josephiah wanted some fire wood to keep his skin warm and to cook the rabbit he had caught earlier in the day to all his stomach cramps. He had stationed himself by a tall elm tree that had limbs low enough where he could climb, he grabbed he axe and climbed the tree, he found a nice branch and sat himself upon it. He started hacking at the part in front of him not realizing the tree was mostly dry-rotted. The 3rd swing was his last. The branch fell, as Josephiah tried to catch himself from the hard Earth below his axe had flipped around ending up impaling him though the chest and out between the shoulder blades. After awhile he stopped trying so hard to gasp for air, instead he turned around watching the night sky knowing this was his end.
