Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk." I remember distinctly the thrill of climbing aboard a U.S. Army helic

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".

It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.

It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.

The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

D. Jeremiah wants to join the soccer program.

Explanation:

<em>Outcast United </em>by Warren St. John tells the story of Luma al-Mufleh, a Jordanian national who came to the United States to escape her country's strict regulations on girls. Later, she would become a soccer coach for the Fugees, a football club she founded for the refugee kids in and around Clarkston, Georgia.

The given excerpt is about the Ziaty family who had come from Liberia to escape the civil war. But due to her inability to feel safe, the mother Beatrice Ziaty ordered her kids to not venture out of the house ever. So, the three kids were all cooped up in the house all day. The start of the football program excites the kids, especially Jeremiah who was eager to be part of the free program. Moreover, he was eager to be going out of the house to do what he loves best. Thus, we can conclude that Jeremiah wants to be part of the soccer program.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The time when my best friend surprised me was some days after my birthday.

He brought a huge cake and completely shocked me, and that was early in the morning.

I was elated, excited, shocked, all forms of happiness and surprise.

Yes, I did really enjoyed it.

I definitely think it is good to sometimes give surprises to others. We may not know what is happening to them, but surprises make people forget their sadness and bring happiness, even if temporary.

Explanation:

On my birthday, my best friend surprised me with a birthday cake. He brought it and came to my home without any notice early in the morning.

The surprise was a success, for I genuinely loved not only the cake but also the gesture. I was utterly shocked that he would even do that, considering it was already some days after my real birthday. But the surprise was a welcome surprise.

I think it is indeed good to give people surprises, for it makes the other person so happy. It was, at least for me. I never imagined that will happen to me, but it did and I really enjoyed it. And we never know what’s going on with people. So, surprises may bring temporary happiness, but it provides relief from the problems for some time, and that’s still better.
