Answer:

His explanations depict him as a bit defensive.

Explanation:

Being on the defensive is a seemingly self-protective attitude when a danger is foreseen or someone who can do us harm. Based on this, we can see that the narrator of the text is on the defensive because he tries to protect himself from his past mistakes by persuading people to believe that he is able to work hard and succeed, as he can prove through his prior grades.

Answer:

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.

She does not seem impulsive: she seems to be working steadily towards the goal (defeating the Nazis) (so she is also not unsteady).

I think that the best word to describe her is "resilient" -for example because she went back to work after sustaining an injury.

what values does president reagan suggest all americans share in his appeals to their sense of patriotism?

Zepler [3.9K]

Freedom, economic prosperity, opportunity and the rule of law were some of the values mentioned by President Reagan in Christmas talk about the family in the US. Presumably he meant these were values shared by many Americans. While these are nice sounding phrases, I believe that many Americans would doubt that they benefitted supposedly from the implementation of these policies and they certainly weren't meant for other countries such as Nicaragua where he backed the contras to fight the Sandinista's who were trying to implement these things for the vast majority of the people who had suffered so much under Somoza.

Which of the following is NOT discussed in

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Hay fever is a seasonal allergy to pollens. The term “hay fever,” however, is a less than adequate description since such an attack can be brought on by sources other than hay-producing grasses and since an attack of this allergy does not incur fever.

The causes of hay fever can be quite varied. Hay fever is generally caused by air-borne pollens, particularly ragweed pollen. The amount of pollen in the air is largely dependent on geographical location, weather, and season. In the eastern section of the United States, for example, there are generally three periods when pollen from various sources can cause intense hay fever sufferings; in the springtime months of March and April, when pollen from trees is prevalent, in the summer months of June and July, when grass pollen fills the air, and at the end of August, when ragweed pollen is at its most concentrated levels.

What results from an attack of hay fever is not a fever. Instead, a person with hay fever will suffer symptoms such as red and itching eyes, a swollen and runny nose, and repeated bouts of sneezing.

the passage as a determining factor of the

amount of pollen in the air?

(A) Place

(B) Climate

(C) Time of year

(D) Altitude

Answer: (D) Altitude

Explanation:

The factors presented as determining the amount of pollen in the air are place (geographical location), climate (weather), and time of year (season). For example, in the east, pollen in the air becomes more frequent during spring (March and April) and summer (June, July, and the end of August). Altitude is not considered a factor.
