Answer:

The correct answer is <u>C</u>: signs of simian fever and Ebola can be similar.

Answer:

The author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "The Telephone: A Truer Tale", it is narrated that the invention of the telephone in 1876 was not as accurate as it has been widely publicised. The narrator is of the opinion that Alexander Graham Bell was not the inventor of the telephone because he was only two years old when it was invented and could not possibly have said those first words.

Based on this excerpt, the statement that describes the author’s attitude toward Alexander Graham Bell is that the author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone.

This question is missing the options. I've found the options online, and they are as follows:

[...] Which statement most accurately explains the structure of this passage?

A. The author builds up to the most important idea in the story, which is that the bean lives.

B. The author uses chronological order to show the history of the bean's experiences.

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

D. The author uses problem and solution to show how the tailor solves the bean's problem of having exploded.

Answer:

The statement that best explains the structure of the passage is:

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

Explanation:

We must read the full passage before we can choose the best answer. We might be tempted to choose the option that speaks of chronological order, since the author does use it to build the story in the proper sequence.<u> It is only in the end that we get to see the purpose of the passage. When the author says, "The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam," it is revealed that the passage is actually telling us the cause behind the black spot every bean has. The cause is the black thread used by the tailor to mend a bean that had exploded. The effect is the black spot itself. Therefore, the best option is letter C.</u>

Write about a time when your best friend surprised you. What was the surprise? What was your reaction? Did you enjoy it? Do you

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.
