Eduardo crept along the side of the house — he didn't want his mother to see him. Her reaction to being startled was one of the

funniest he had ever seen. He tried to startle her at least once a week because it provided a nice laugh for both of them. Tonight, his mother was hanging laundry on the clothesline in the backyard, and the dangling clothes and linens provided yet another means of camouflage.
He crept closer, then popped out from behind a bedsheet and screamed, "Boo!"

As Eduardo's mother's arms flailed in the air, she let out a whoop and ran toward the house.

Eduardo collapsed on the ground in hysterics. He laughed so hard, tears started rolling down his cheeks. His mother walked back over to her son with a smirk on her face.

"Just watch out! You're next!"
Which statement best summarizes the passage?
A. Eduardo's mother is scared by her son's outburst, and even though she runs away, she comes back smiling.
B. Eduardo's action is inconsiderate because his mother is completely caught off guard, and it seems as though he doesn't care about how she reacts.
C. Eduardo carefully camouflages himself in order to sneak up on his mother.
D. Eduardo sneaks up on his mother while she's hanging laundry and scares her. She runs away in fright but returns with a good-natured threat.

Answer:

D. Eduardo sneaks up on his mother while she's hanging laundry and scares her. She runs away in fright but returns with a good-natured threat.

Explanation:

This summary accurately describes what happens in the passage. His mother is obviously startled and runs away, but comes back to her son with a smirk on her face and a witty, good-natured threat to keep himon his toes. It does not specifically state that she was smiling.

Answer:

a. trade commission

Explanation:

"An investor purchased a mutual fund through his broker.The broker charged him a fee of 3.75% of the amount of the fund. Which type of fee has the broker charged?"

The statements in bold provide you with information on the nature of this transaction. By definition a broker is an individual or firm that charges a fee  or commission for executing buy and sell orders submitted by an investor

In this case the answer is (a): trade commission:

Trade commission is a form of payment to a brokerage in which the brokerage receives a percentage of the value of each transaction that a client orders. Commissions can be seen as advantageous to a client because if the client doesn't make orders, then they do not have to pay a broker.

In at least one hundred words, discuss Cervantes’s Don Quixote can be seen as an example of an allegory. Use evidence from the t
snow_tiger [21]
I would say:
Our knight lives optimistically in a fictitious, idealistic past. Sancho withal aspires to a better life that he hopes to gain through accommodating as a squire. Their adventures are ecumenically illusory. Numerous well-bred characters relish and even nurture these illusions. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza live out a fairy tale.Virtually all these characters are of noble birth and mystically enchanted with excellent appearance and manners, concretely the women. And everything turns out for the best, all of the time. And so, once again, they live out a fairly tale. Here we have a miniature fairy tale within a more immensely colossal fairy tale. Outside of the fairy tale, perhaps, we have the down-to-earth well-meaning villagers of La Mancha and a couple of distant scribes, one of whom we ourselves read, indirectly. I struggle to understand the standpoint of the narrator. Is the novel contrasting a day-to-day and mundane authenticity with the grandiose pursuits of the world's elites? This seems to be the knight's final clientele. As for reading the novel as an allegory of Spain, perhaps, albeit why constrain it to Spain?


I hope this helps!!!!
