d mayonnaise. Dwaina's uncle got them discount lunch meats from the store where he used to work. Thursday night was bargain night at the bakery in nearby Lancaster. They drove away with six big loaves of day-old bread for $1.78. "Mama, do you think anyone at the shelter will really eat day-old bread?" Dwaina asked. "We eat it," Gail replied. "If it don't kill us, it won't kill them." The baker gave them twenty free boxes, too, when he heard how they would be used.

Answer:

Many people in the community contributed to Dwaina’s cause in their own way.

Explanation:

Dwaina Brooks had formed a group of volunteers comprising of friends and family members in order to help feed the homeless and poor people in her home Dallas in Texas. She first started this charity work when she was in the fourth grade, helping however she can.

From the excerpt from "Dwaina Brooks", the passage shows just how she had managed to get things for everyone, however much she can. The repetition also is for emphasizing the efforts of the people in the community in helping her. They contributed to her cause in their own way, some providing leftover bread. One "<em>baker gave them twenty free boxes, (and her relatives) brought packets of chips and big bottles of salad dressings</em>".

Answer:

A Wonderful Plan Allison and Nate

A brother and sister, live together in an apartment. They attend university in the same city, so they live together to share expenses. Their parents live in a different city, but they are visiting their children this weekend. In fact, they will arrive at the airport in about an hour!

Nate and his older sister talk about all the arrangements they made for their parents’ visit. “Okay, so we should go to the concert tonight, right?” Nate asks. “That is right,” Allison replies. “We are seeing the orchestra at 7:00pm.” “Are we going to the museum tomorrow, then?” her brother asks. “Yes, I reserved tickets for the special exhibition on mummies,” Allison says. “Are you coming with us or are you meeting with your study group?” “No, I am definitely going with you to the museum,” Nate answers. “I love mummies! All right, so we are picking Mom and Dad up in about an hour.” “Yes, I will leave in five minutes,” Allison says. Nate is confused. “What do you mean? We are both going, right?” “Of course not!” Allison laughs. “Look at this place! I was very busy making all the reservations and getting all the tickets. We did not clean at all!” “Oh no, you are right!” Nate looks at the messy living room and remembers all the dirty dishes in the kitchen. “What will we do?” “Do not worry, my dear brother,” Allison says, smiling. “You know I always have a plan.” “Is a cleaning service coming?” Nate asks. “Are Mom and Dad staying in a hotel?” “No, silly!” Allison replies. “No one will come to help us clean.” “Then what is your wonderful plan? What are we doing to get the apartment clean? Mom and Dad are arriving in just forty-five minutes!”

Now Nate will get really nervous. “Not to worry,” Allison reassures her brother. “I am driving to the airport to pick them up, and then we are all going to a new art gallery that just opened. We are taking a guided tour for an hour.” “How does an art gallery tour get the house clean?” Nate wonders. “That does not clean the house! Remember that you will stay here, little brother,” Allison says, giving him a hug before she walks to the door. “This way you will have lots of time! I will go out to have fun with Mom and Dad because I am a wonderful daughter, and you will stay here to clean the whole apartment because you are a wonderful son!”

Explanation:

Future tense is a type of verb that describes an event that is yet to happen, but expected to happen in future. One of the commonest examples of a future tense is adding the word "will" followed by the event. For example,  I will wash the plates later.

How does the author's characterization of Bertha help reveal Delia's attitude toward Sykes' affairs? A. The author describes Ber
madam [21]

This short story is called “Sweat”, written by <u><em>Zora Neale Hurston.</em></u>  

Question: How does the author's characterization of Bertha help reveal Delia's attitude toward Sykes' affairs?

Answer: C. By describing only Bertha's negative characteristics, the author hints at Delia's confidence in her own desirability as a wife.

Delia had for some time already been fed up with her no-good husband and she knew that she was the breadwinner in the home,  so in fact she did not need him to live happily ever after. Therefore,  she was confident in her own desirability as a wife.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Olivia <u>enjoys</u> the attention she received however she knows that she <u>cannot accept the trophy</u> because it would be <u>dishonest</u>

Explanation:

It says in the story that while she likes the attention shes getting from the rest of the high school because Olivia is the shy one and as the story says "flies under the radar" but even though Olivia likes the attention, she cant accept the trophy as that would make her feel bad and that would be dishonest of her to take somebody's else's trophy and take the credit.
