Ding dong. Estelle ran out of the kitchen and went to answer the front door. A friend from school was coming over to spend Satur

day with her.
"Buenos días, Vanessa!" Estelle said as she opened the door.
"Hi, Estelle! Sorry I'm late."
"Don't worry about a thing," Estelle smiled. "We don't pay much attention to the clock on the weekends. Pura Vida!"
"I don't know a whole lot of Spanish, but doesn't that mean pure life?" Vanessa stared at her friend waiting for an explanation.
"Pura vida translates as pure life, but the expression means everything is great and that you should enjoy life."
"Okay! I'm glad you're not upset," she paused. "Something smells delicious. What is that?" Vanessa inquired. The fragrant aroma that greeted her on the porch had her full attention as they walked through the living room and headed to the kitchen.
"Oh, that's probably the gallo pinto."
"Gallo pinto?" Vanessa repeated. She'd never heard of that before.
"Yes. Gallo pinto is a black beans and rice dish that is often eaten by Ticos at each meal," Estelle explained. "Since my family is from Costa Rica, we try to keep some traditions that remind us of our country. Gallo pinto is the national dish of Costa Rica."
"Does your family eat gallo pinto with every meal?"
"No. We mainly eat it with breakfast, but it tastes really good. I wouldn't mind eating it three times a day," Estelle chimed.
"Est—elle. Quit running your mouth and sit down so we can eat. I'm starving," Estelle's little brother complained.
"Javier! Shh," said Estelle's mother. "It's nice to see you again, Vanessa. Pura Vida! Would you like to try some gallo pinto with your breakfast?"
"Yes, please!" Vanessa exclaimed.

What does the phrase "pura vida" teach the reader about the Costa Rican people?

A.
They try to avoid unnecessary stress.

B.
They use hygiene products that are 100% pure.

C.
They frequently wash their hands to stay clean.

D.
They are rarely on time for activities.

Hi there!

We know that " Pura Vida," means pure life: and as what Estelle has said, "Pura Vida translates as pure life, but the expression means everything is great and that you should enjoy life."

Now that she explained this! Its obvious that your answer would:

A. They try to avoid unnecessary stress.

Because the Estelle has basically told you that she doesn't mean Hygiene products, how frequent they clean their hands, or how rare on time for activities.

Hope this helps and have a fantastic day!

As you read the article "Geronimo: The Warrior," use this table to take notes that will help you analyze the writing Evaluate th
Masja [62]

Answer:

thesis statement Geronimo became a bitter warrior after his family was attacked by José Maria Carrasco.

evidence The writer gathered evidence from Geronimo’s autobiography, which includes facts and anecdotes from his life. For example, Geronimo burned his belongings, his children’s toys, and two tipis after the Mexican attack.

structure The essay reads well, but it lacks the traditional structure of essays. Some irrelevant discussion is included as well.

strategies The writer uses a cause-and-effect strategy and an appeal to emotions (pathos). He argues that the cause was the Mexican attack on the Apache camp, which resulted in the death of his mother, wife, and three children. The effect was Geronimo becoming a ruthless warrior.

The appeal to emotions (pathos) comes in the description of the attack on Geronimo’s family. Rielly also describes Geronimo standing alone in a river after the attacks as a way of showing his state of mind after losing his family.

fallacies Edward Rielly’s article about Geronimo doesn’t seem to have many obvious logical fallacies.

overall quality This is a good essay. It focuses on providing solid supporting evidence, and it demonstrates clear cause-and-effect relationships.

What type of phrase is underlined in this sentence? The bond between my dog and me is unbreakable. A. Noun B. Adverbial C. Verb
dsp73

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Explanation:

A modifier expression is a gathering of words that depict a thing or pronoun in a sentence. The descriptive word in a modifier expression can show up toward the begin, end, or amidst the expression. The descriptive word expression can be set previously, or after, the thing or pronoun in the sentence. Lexicons for the most part mark "how" as a qualifier, however one gets into troubles when one needs to demonstrate that it is a verb modifier. Qualifiers adjust a few other word classes as verbs, descriptors, intensifiers, even sentences. The most straightforward meaning of a descriptor is that it is a word that portrays or illuminates a thing. Descriptors portray things by giving some data around a protest's size, shape, age, shading, inception or material. It's a major table.

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!
