The correct answer is B. She does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed.

Explanation:

"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by Julia Alvarez that tells the story of a Dominican Republic family that has to leave the country and immigrate to the U.S. which leads to different conflicts and obstacles as they try to begin a new life and adapt to a new culture. In the case of the excerpt presented the mother believes she had invented a suitcase with little wheels but she soon realized it was the invention of someone else, because of this she feels upset but then realize there is nothing she can do about the situation and because of this she tells to her daughters "There is no use trying to drink spilt milk, that's for sure" which means the mother will not waste time in some situation that cannot be solved or change instead she will spend her time in more important issues she is concerned about. This means, in this excerpt the mother Laura means to express to her daughters "she does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed".

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

You really like to squeeze all you can out of your points, don't you !

This question should really be reported for being too complex. But I'm such a nerd for electrical stuff, I'm gonna answer it anyway.

12 ohms (C)

7.55 ohms (B)

Vero has the probes of her DMM swapped. (D)

Resistance (D)

Tolerance (C)

70 ohms (D)

The meter will read zero ohms. (D)

0.06 A (60 mA) (C)

4,000 watts (A)

High-current power transformer (A)

W / I² (B)

Continuity test (C). She should do the short circuit test too (A). If the motor winding failed because it melted into a blob of copper during a few seconds of extreme over-current, it would pass a Continuity test just fine and Jen would not know that it had failed.

Personally, I use a high-voltage probe when I'm measuring ANY voltage. I've been zapped. No, I mean I've been zapped GOOD ! I'm an Electrical Engineer, so I know enough to be afraid of the stuff.

1A of current flows due to an applied voltage of 1V. (C)

Step the voltage down and read the stepped-down voltage, multiplying it by the step factor. (D)

The circuit is most likely energized ... the wrong way to measure a resistor in a circuit, and you can easily damage your meter by doing that. (C)

It's also possible that the resistor might have taken an extreme zap and permanently changed its value. (That could be one reason why you're measuring it.) (D)

If I don't get a 'Brainliest' for this one, then there's no justice in the world.

As a little extra side-problem in Math, I just wanna mention that my efforts have been rewarded with a generous bounty of 0.3125 Brainly point per answer. Shame on me !

Morality Dilemma #5: The Plagiarized Report You are an English teacher at a high school. One of your pupils is a very bright and

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Help her.

Explanation:

If I was the teacher, I would take into account the girl's previous achievements. This girl..."a very bright and gifted girl, whom you enjoyed teaching." If that's the case, then reporting her would affect her permanent school record, and dimmen her chances of getting into that prestigious university she'd always dreamt of attending. A teacher always looks to the best interests of his/her students, so refusing to accept her work is also out of the question; because every teacher must genuinely care about the future of his/her pupils. But teachers also must be honest and sincere in their work, meaning: to pretend to believe that the essay is her work, whilst knowing it is'nt...puts your OWN career in danger. I would, email my student and talk to her about what she did. Not in a dangerous, you're-in-trouble, email, but a soft understanding email, stating how you care about where she ends up, and how you want her to make the right decision to get to the right place. So contact her, and try to reach out to her. Often, people in tight spots resort to the wrong choice to accomplish something they've always wanted to do. Be soft. Understanding...don't scare her away...

The youth is already academically advanced compared to the past. I believe children should pursue happiness. They should still learn and pursue academic excellence. However I don’t think it is a bad thing to encourage children to find happiness.
