Answer: Agree

Explanation: Robinson Crusoe is a castaway man. When he found himself on a deserted island he did not appeal to his animal instincts. Instead of doing that he used the experience as a way deepen his self-awareness. I believe that this self-care and the awareness of his individuality is a great value that he obtained as a result of breaking the bones of culture and starting fresh.

I disagree because if you cut off ties from your culture and your past, you're only setting yourself up for failure. You are prone to make the same mistakes again. The past helps shape your future.

Imagine that these two aliens, who look like giant ants, came to your school one day. Write a story in about 150-200 words about
Veronika [31]

Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

How is the listener's experience altered when a reader uses fluency strategies and adjusts tone when reading a text
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The listener finds it easier to make sense of the ideas presented in the text.

The listener is more engaged by the text.

The listener better recognizes when different people are quoted within the text.

Explanation:

When you're reading a text aloud and have an audience, it's very important that you're reading fluently - without too many long pauses, stuttering, and similar issues. What is also important is your tone. If you are reading for some time without changing your tone at all, your audience will stop listening. The text you are reading could be the most interesting one, but once it's presented poorly, the listeners will lose all interest.

With fluency and an adjusted tone, it's easier to listen and understand the text and its organization. Quotes are always somehow pointed out within the text, and they should be pointed out when read aloud as well.

So, the correct options are the first, third, and fifth.

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language.
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.
