Screech! Karen stomped on the gas pedal the moment the light turned green. She looked over her left shoulder and zigged past a s

emi-truck. She zoomed ahead and looked over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was bumping and bouncing the whole way. Just as she entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..." Karen looked at her ticket and then at the line to get through the security checkpoint, which wrapped around several turnstiles and slithered like a lethargic snake. Karen sighed and then slowly walked to the customer service desk.Why does she start walking slowly at the end of the passage?a. Her friend flew to another airport.b. She missed her plane.c. She decided not to travel anywhere.d. She would rather stay home.

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

What is the most likely reason Churchill regularly brings up negative details about the war, such as the German victory in the B
Pie

I think the most likely reason Churchill regularly brougth up negative details about the war is:

A. He wants Britain to have realistic expectations about the future.

As a great strategist, Churchill focused on the evidence given by other battles, like the German victory in France, to learn from his enemy. By lying to his people, british army would not be prepared for the battles coming and wold be defeated. Some generals in World War II believed that war would be fougth like World War I, they were not based on any evidence, and were eventually surprised by the new tactics the German developed (like the Blitzkrieg).

Churchill was able to make alliances with the United States and the URSS, so letter B. seems incorrect.

History made clear that Churchill was a great leader that never gave up so letter C. seems incorrect too.

By giving negative details abaout war Germany wouldn't think Britain is weak so letter D is incorrect.

arlik [135]

 The sentences that express the same ideas are:

  "Blake organized the successful fundraiser, and he raised money for a local food bank."

 "A successful event, Blake's fundraiser raised money for a local food bank."

  These two sentences combine the sentences "Blake organized the successful fundraiser" and "Blake raised money for a local bank food.".

  The meaning of the sentences combined is the same.

  The motivation was to raise money for the local bank food, and to get that, Blake organized a fundraiser. The event was successful and Blake raised the money for the local food bank.
