Part A was which statement best states the claim, or main point, that Bacon builds upon in this passage?

A. Holding high office causes people to do evil.

B. Holding high office is one of the noblest aspirations.

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

D. Holding high office helps people serve others in many ways.

Answer:

C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

Explanation:

The statement that best states the claim that Bacon made in the passage is the third statement because it shows that holding high office comes at a great cost and that highly placed powerful people are really servants, both to the state, fame, or business which takes away a degree of their freedom.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Holding high office has costs as great as any of the benefits.

Which ending to this scene would be most ironic?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

I will answer this to the best of my ability according to what I assume is the reason for the fight.

Explanation:

Irony is when something happens that you didn't expect to, and it can be funny or dramatic. Let's look at the answers:

A. I'm pretty sure Gill stole Victor's $500, which is why they fight. What would you expect from a fight where one person stole the other's money? There are usually only two conclusions: one person wins the fight and takes back his money, or the other person wins and runs away. Option "A" is one of those two expected outcomes, so it is not ironic.

B. While this isn't the most expected outcome, it certainly isn't unexpected. One person is bound to win the fight, and maybe the other begs for mercy. Even though it isn't one of the most obvious endings, it isn't that unexpected.

C. Now, this is a totally unexpected outcome. These two guys are fighting over Victor's money, while Victor already has the money without him knowing. That is not expected.

D. This is not unexpected. It is expected. Two guys are fighting, it could possibly end their friendship

The answer is C. The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loses it while he is fighting Gil. This is the most unexpected outcome, and most ironic.

Record one piece of evidence that best describes Major Kovaloff.
ohaa [14]
Major Kovaloff can best be described as proud. He is very proud of his station and his rank, and wants everyone to respect him for it. In the story, it says "He did not so much mind people making personal remarks about him, but it was a different matter when aspersions were cast on his rank or social standing." This shows that he cares very much about his rank and dislikes when people aren't as respectful as he thinks they should be.

3. The vast farmland in Virginia is only one of Jerrys ______; he also own a jewelry company, several vehicles, and an industria
solniwko [45]

Answer: c. assets

Explanation:

Assets are things that people own that either makes them money or is valuable enough that it can be sold for money.

Jerry's farmland makes money and can be sold for money as well which makes it an asset. The vehicles and the industrial land are also valuable and the jewellery store makes money so these are all assets.

Assets determine the economic net worth of a person such that when they say Elon Musk is worth $185 billion, they mean his net assets are valued at that amount.

5. Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.  

<em>Once the  teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again.   That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why  they respond to texts while driving. </em>

Explanation:

This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.

Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.

Finish this simile: English class is like...
Law Incorporation [45]

English class is like receiving presents on your birthday

or

English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.


<span>Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of an English class as you, for instance, one way to convey an idea of what English class is to you, the use of a simile would work well.  If you enjoyed your English class you might compare it to something you know your general audience enjoys and write something like “English class is like receiving presents on your birthday” because of how each day’s knowledge is wonderful surprising experience for you.  If you hated English class, you might write something like English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.  As you can see the use of similes make writing more expressively.</span>
