The correct answer is <u>B: Most people are honest enough not to commit major theft.</u> The reason why is because one i did th test but the explanation behind it is that he says in the excerpt that "From Feldman’s perspective, an office worker who eats a bagel without paying is committing a crime; the office worker probably doesn’t think so." in context hes saying that most people are honest and will say they took something small like a bagel, but at the same time they wouldn't think of a bank robbery or something.
That's how I see it, I hope i helped have a great day and good luck with class.
Answer:
The numbers used in parentheses are from the order of the sentences in the question part. The sentences are arranged properly as following;
1 (1) A long time ago, there was nothing but darkness. 2 (2) God pointed at the darkness and uttered a command. 3 (4) Suddenly from the darkness emerged a bright, translucent sphere hanging in midair. 4 (8) Inside the sphere sat God, creator of everything. 5 (6)The bright light from the sphere fell on the vast expanse of water. 6 (5) Within the sphere was an animal. 7 (3) The animal dived into the water and brought up a small piece of mud, which started expanding. 8 (7) This action led to the creation of Earth.
Explanation:
<em>"Ex nihilo"</em> is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing". It figuratively means that God created the cosmos out of nothing.
First sentence is the beginning of the story as shown by the traditional starting phrase <em>"A long time ago"</em>
The second sentence tells us what happened to the darkness (given a command by God). It is also important to note the use of article "<em>the"</em> before "darkness", since it has been mentioned before.
The third sentence tells us what happened as the result of the command. (Note the use of article "a" before sphere).
The fourth sentence tells more about the sphere and uses "the" before "sphere". It also mentions God.
The fifth sentence tells about the bright light (light of God).
The sixth sentence introduces animal using article "an".
The seventh sentence tells us what the animal did (use of "the" before "animal").
The eighth and last sentence concludes the story with the creation of Earth.
Answer:
The excerpt from Enrique’s Journey tells a story about what happened to one victim, and “Children of the Drug Wars” uses words that create an emotional response to persuade readers to take action.
Explanation:
Sonia Nazario's "Enrique's Journey" revolves around the journey that a young boy Enrique undertook to be united with his mother. The perilous journey led him through many unfortunate encounters which shows how people like Enrique had to endure to get safely to America illegally.
Damon Barrett's "Children of the Drug Wars" presents the all too familiar scenario of what children have to endure and encounter in their lives during the war with drugs and how it has an impact on them and their future lives.
While the <u>excerpt from "Enrique's Journey" tells of a single victim, the latter excerpt uses words to create an appealing emotional response to persuade readers to take action.</u> Enrique's encounter with the gangsters terrified him so much that he asked to be deported. On the other hand, the speaker of the latter book asks for children of drug wars to be allowed to be taken as refugees so that they need not <em>"make the perilous journey north alone"</em>.

In this text, we learn that Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale is introduced to the crowd as an expert on the matter at hand. He is being asked by Mr. Wilson and the Governor to speak about matters of the heart, and in particular, those of women. We learn that this task is of a "trying nature," which implies that Mr. Dimmesdale finds it really difficult. Moreover, we also learn that this situation leads him to lose colour on his cheeks and make his lips tremulous. These are all signs of nervousness, so we can assume that Mr. Dimmesdale feels that he is inadequate to the task.
