L. Frank Baum’s “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” begins with the Cowardly Lion deciding he wants to tear a person to pieces and the Hungry Tiger deciding he wants to eat a “fat baby.” The story progresses with the lion and tiger walking around the Emerald City looking for a person and a baby.  However, when they find the objects of their quest, instead of tearing the person to pieces, the lion helps her up after she falls down and “with much gentleness carried her into her house.”  And, instead of eating a lost baby the tiger finds crying for its mother, the tiger “safely deposited [it] beside its mother,” which just so happens to be the same person the lion helps.  Irony can be seen here in how the opposites of the beginning intentions of their adventure occur—helping instead of killing.

Read this claim from an argumentative essay about zoos.
Simora [160]

The claim refers to the assertion of something commonly without proof or evidence.

When writing an essay claims are generally made out of cultural common knowledge which is shared with the readers. An essay consisting of just common knowledge doesn't attract readers or interest them by stating what is obvious.

When providing a claim evidence is necessary which asserts "how do you know?"

Hence in the above claim, evidence which best supports is many animals die prematurely in zoos because they are exposed to infectious diseases.

As the claim declares the condition of the zoo for improving health conditions and safety. Due to unhealthy conditions animals die prematurely due to infections and diseases.

You read a story about a woman named Maya Sweeten. If this story is a biography, which statements could be true? Select three an
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

B. Maya Sweeten was a real person

C. Maya Sweeten was a nurse who saved many lives.

F. Maya Sweeten was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1924.

The other ones are incorrect because they make no SENSE and you are talking about a biography which includes real life accomplishment and a real person. Obviously her being a fictional character wouldn't fit the picture since you are talking about a biography.

I hope I've helped!

WHO CAN HELP WITH THIS FREAKING 2 QUESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!! will give BRAINLIEST answer only if you know!!!
REY [17]

Marley was thrilled.

The description of Marley before this shows him leaping, spinning, running and pouncing. All of these are very energetic actions that show he is not just slightly happy. The speaker is using an understatement "Marley was a little excited" to emphasis how actually thrilled Marley was to play ball.

They imply that Myra is uncomfortably hot.

In the passage, the setting is described as noon on a sunny day in August. From this description we can infer that it is hot out. When Myra says, "This sun is cooking me," we can infer that she is in the hot sun and can feel the heat as though she is being cooked. She does not indicate that she is in pain or that she is unhappy.  It simply means that she is hot.
