Read the passage from A Doll’s House. Helmer: What are little people called that are always wasting money? Nora: Spendthrifts—I

know. Let us do as you suggest, Torvald, and then I shall have time to think what I am most in want of. That is a very sensible plan, isn't it? Helmer: [smiling] Indeed it is—that is to say, if you were really to save out of the money I give you, and then really buy something for yourself. But if you spend it all on the housekeeping and any number of unnecessary things, then I merely have to pay up again. Nora: Oh but, Torvald— Helmer: You can't deny it, my dear little Nora. [Puts his arm round her waist.] It's a sweet little spendthrift, but she uses up a deal of money. One would hardly believe how expensive such little persons are! Nora: It's a shame to say that. I do really save all I can. Helmer: [laughing] That's very true,—all you can. But you can't save anything! Nora: [smiling quietly and happily] You haven't any idea how many expenses we skylarks and squirrels have, Torvald. Based on this passage, which statement is the best inference about Torvald’s character?
He thinks that Nora is keeping secrets from him and chides her for lying.
He is not very generous and does not want Nora to spend money.
He loves his wife, but he treats her like a child rather than an adult.
He does not know Nora well enough to know what to buy her.

irinina [24]

I will write about my favorite sport, soccer, I hope that it works as a model for you.

"In this short essay, we are going to discuss why soccer is mu favorite sport.

Basically a game of soccer has 2 teams playing against each other,each team has 11 players and others for substitution, the aim is to score goals by putting the ball within the opponent's nets, the goal.  

The game is challenging as players cannot use their hands to conduce the ball, only the goalkeeper within his area can do so. If a player receives the ball and he is located before only one player before reaching the goal the move is cancelled as offside, so teams have to plan how to pass the ball and the right moment to run towards the goal.

Sometimes the game can get violent because of the full concact players have, if  something illegal happens, a player may get a yellow card, if recurrent or something more violent happens the player gets a red card and is sent out of the game, there is no substitution for this player and the team has to play with fewer people.

In conclusion, the game is challenging and has a great deal of strategy and dynamics."

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!
