Answer: A. foolishness of people.

The author is describing the behaviour of the people. He tells us that the multitude of about two or three hundred people were pushing each other, elbowing and jostling, in order to get closer to the cylinder. These people are acting foolishly. Not only are they being rude and inconsiderate, but they are trying to get closer to an unknown object that could be very dangerous. This passage, therefore, states how foolish people can be.

write a story that ends with the statement I have never felt so embarrassed in my life Answer should not be less than 450 world
Vikki [24]

Answer:

I have always regarded myself as a casanova, the type of man that ladies could not resist because of my charm, wits, confidence, and good looks. I successfully got quite a number of women into my bed because they simply could not resist me.

Now, there's a new girl in my neighborhood that just moved in last week and all the guys in the hood have all been vying to get her attention and a roll in the sack, and the other guys agreed that I had the best chance out of them all.

I went to her condo the day she moved in and made some small talk, introduced myself, welcomed her to the hood, flashed my most charming smile, made sure to laugh appropriately when she said anything remotely funny, then I told her that if she ever needed anything, she should come to me, she promised to pay me a visit when she was less busy. This was going slower than I imagined, but as a bad sharp guy with international experience in "womenology", I was unperturbed.

I called her two days later to ask her out to see a movie and she agreed, great. Now, that's more like it. I got to her apartment five minutes early, looking my best, and she was looking resplendent in her blue tight-fitting gown and I had a moment of blood rush.

Unknown to me, I was unaware that she had a pitbull and for all my macho, I was deathly scared of dogs, I literally screamed and ran back to my car while she was laughing so much because the pitbull wasn't even interested in me. It was so humiliating for me and I have never felt so embarrassed in my life.

What is the reasoning behind Lincoln's referring to the South as "the rebellion"? Why does he continually use this term? Be sure

Lincoln continually calls the South as “rebellion” because of his perception of the North. The rebellion happened because of Lincoln’s electoral camping, causing more economic tension between the North and South. Because of this, Lincoln and the Southerners had established the Abolition Movement, thus referred to the Southerners and their fight against the Northerners

Most teens believe that their social networking sites have little impact, positive or negative, on their social and emotional we
Veseljchak [2.6K]

The detail that supports an argument that technology brings some teens together because it improves their social lives is “[f]ifteen to 30 percent of teens . . . reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self-confident, more popular”.

The paragraph starts with the topic, first, it refers to teens who do not feel social networks change their social lives. Second, it refers to those who claim social media has a positive effect on their social lives and, finally, it refers to those teens who feel social media has a negative impact on their lives.

The sentence “[f]ifteen to 30 percent of teens . . . reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self-confident, more popular” belongs to the second aspect described. That is to say, it is supporting the claim about the positive impact of social media in teens' lives.

The other options are not correct because the first one is the topic sentence, and the last option is a negative effect of social networks on teens' lives.
