Read the excerpt from Chapter 4.
Anne of Green Gables
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla had decided to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. When a girl, Anne, arrives, they are surprised. In this excerpt, Anne has just awoken after her first night at Green Gables.
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
“I’m pretty hungry this morning,” she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. “The world doesn’t seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I’m so glad it’s a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don’t you think? You don’t know what’s going to happen through the day, and there’s so much scope for imagination. But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It’s all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it’s not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?”
“For pity’s sake hold your tongue,” said Marilla. “You talk entirely too much for a little girl.”
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew’s way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.
“Can you wash dishes right?” asked Marilla distrustfully.
“Pretty well. I’m better at looking after children, though. I’ve had so much experience at that. It’s such a pity you haven’t any here for me to look after.”
“I don’t feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I’ve got at present. You’re problem enough in all conscience. What’s to be done with you I don’t know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man.”
“I think he’s lovely,” said Anne reproachfully. “He is so very sympathetic. He didn’t mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him.”
“You’re both queer enough, if that’s what you mean by kindred spirits,” said Marilla with a sniff. “Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I’ve got enough to attend to this morning for I’ll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You’ll come with me and we’ll settle what’s to be done with you. After you’ve finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed.”
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner time.
In Anne of Green Gables, how does Marilla respond to Anne's silence at breakfast?
Marilla grows anxious.
She wants to comfort Anne.
Marilla feels relieved.
She starts to like Anne more.
The inference is that in Anne of Green Gables, Marilla responds to Anne's silence at breakfast as A. Marilla grows anxious.

Explanation:
First Steps
THE LANDING
As the lander hit, Maria drew a jagged breath, and her chest muscles clenched tight with anxiety. Captain Curran, the group leader, turned around and smiled at Maria and her five friends.
“All right,” he said with forced joviality. “Who wants to be the first of the generations born in space to set foot on a real planet?”
Maria waited for someone else to speak or raise their hand. Next to her, Allen just stared at the floor of the lander muttering, “Not me, not me.”
She glanced at Lily, who Maria had always known to be fearless, but Lily bit her lip and turned away. Javier looked positively gray, and the twins buried their faces in their hands. Someone would have to be first. Maria closed her eyes and took a few meditative breaths, waiting for someone else to volunteer, but the lander was silent.
FINDING COURAGE
The radio crackled to life. “Lander one, this is Mothership, do you copy?”
“Yes,” Captain Curran answered. “We’ve landed safely and are waiting to exit the lander, but there’s just a little…disagreement…over which pioneer wants to be the first to set foot on our new home.”
“Tell them there’s plenty for everyone to see, and they’re going to love it out there,” the voice on the radio responded. “I wish it were me instead of you; I miss the feel of real air on my face.”
Captain Curran flipped off the microphone. “You six have lived your entire lives in space, and it’s a great privilege to be the first of your generation to see a new planet. The others are watching; if you’re afraid, they’ll be afraid. Can’t any of you find the courage to set an example?”
Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat and thought of her parents; they had traveled across the galaxy to find their family a new home, with clean air and good soil, and she knew this planet was for them. “I’ll do it, Captain,” she mumbled as she slipped out of her harness and rose out of her seat. Maria couldn’t shake the feeling of trepidation as she stood and watched the doors of the lander slide open.
A NEW WORLD
A burst of air hit Maria in the face. She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes. Then, suddenly, something crunched underneath her boots; she was standing on the surface of the planet, and it felt nothing like the smooth metallic halls that she’d known all her life.
Without letting go of the ladder, she turned around to look at the world around the lander. The soil was full of shapes and textures; there were some small, grainy pieces, then larger clumps that she could break with the toe of her boot. One piece was hard and smooth, and she let go of the ladder to pick it up. “Captain,” she called, “I think I’ve found a rock!”
The air was moving, and long, thin, green things bowed and danced. “Grasses,” Maria whispered to herself, remembering the videos in her science lessons. She let go of the ladder and took soft, slow steps and realized her arms and legs felt like they were full of lead. “Natural gravity,” she whispered to herself. She started to walk a little more quickly, getting used to the new sensation. She was doing what others had previously thought impossible—taking steps on a new world.
A creature with gossamer wings landed on her nose, and she crossed her eyes trying to get a good look at it. Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; she’d never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her.
“That’s the call of a hornbeast,” Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. “Walk to your left a little, and there should be a stream—flowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.”
She started to run in that direction and then paused. “Hurry up!” she yelled, unable to contain her enthusiasm. “Our new home is extraordinary!”
In “First Steps,” which theme is developed by Maria’s volunteering to leave the lander?
Great tasks can be accomplished by working as a team.
Taking unnecessary risks is foolish.
It takes courage to be the first to try something new.
Some things cannot be learned in school.

Describe a situation where you made your best first impression. What did you do right?
Your response should be 1-2 paragraphs
Answer:
First impressions are lasting impressions. If you hit that first note perfectly then you will have plenty of time to consolidate your position. On the other hand, if the first impression you make is a poor one, you are unlikely to get another shot. This is the reason why first impressions are important. Let’s talk about some examples of the first impression to understand the concept better.
These include meeting a potential client for the first time, giving an interview to an admissions committee at a college or university, making a presentation to an audience, or a debut stage performance.
First impressions are not just important in the workplace. There will be many instances in your life where it will be important to make a great first impression.
Although we are all aware of the importance of first impressions, we may not know the details that can make or break our first impressions.
We buy a product based on how it is advertised or placed in the store, often not even looking at a poorly packaged product lying on a lower shelf, even when it might be a better quality product.
That’s the kind of impact first impressions have. Read on to find out what you need to do to make a good first impression.
HOW TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION?
Clumsiness in a client meeting, failing to communicate properly during a presentation, or appearing unkempt during a job interview are some things that can create a negative impression.
Confidence is the key to making good first impressions. If you are sure of yourself, it will reflect in your body language and verbal communication. Confident people tend to have good posture. They make eye contact and have a relaxed and friendly demeanor when meeting new people.
LET’S LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS WE CAN DO TO ENSURE THAT OUR FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE BEST IMPRESSION ON OTHERS:
Dressing up properly for the occasion is a must. Properly ironed and spotless clothes accompanied by the right accessories and well-polished shoes give you confidence and help you look polished and put together. Whether it is a business meeting or a social get-together, make sure you follow the dress code.
Personal grooming is a must. Clean, cut nails, well-combed hair, and a freshly washed face go a long way. You don't have to spend large amounts on services at salons or get expensive treatments. Just make sure you're well-groomed.
Communication is a key aspect of creating great first impressions. It is not only about how you speak. Your body language, eye contact, tone of voice, and ability to listen to others all make you a great communicator. A warm smile and the ability to give sincere compliments go a long way in endearing others. These are all examples of first impressions that are impactful and memorable.
CONCLUSION
First impressions are lasting impressions. As a leading name in imparting interpersonal skills, Harappa Education understands why first impressions are important. The Decoding Others course gives learners insights into the art of making great first impressions. The course teaches you how body language, facial expressions, and micro-expressions can be used in a variety of settings.

Writing prompt: Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how culture shapes the heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy. Use transition words in your draft to help clarify relationships of ideas.
Answer: The pic is what I put for the first part then for the rough draft I put: Manjiro and Achilles cultures helped to shape them in different ways. Lets start with Manjiro. His culture shaped him to be respectful and relatively quiet but also a curious person. His culture taught him that he would have to follow the family line of jobs on his fathers side of his family. Achilles culture shaped him to be rather courageous and strong, maybe religious, but it also shaped him to be rather reckless. His culture taught him that if he went to battle he would most likely live a short life but be remembered by generations to come. Although, both of the boys cultures had a similar view on strength.
And for the final draft:

PLS HELP!!! How would you represent the information from the following excerpt from the article about the girls who invented a generator that runs on urine?
Four teenage girls from Africa have figured out how to use urine as fuel for an electric generator. Fifteen-year-old Bello Eniola and 14-year-old Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin created a generator that can produce six hours of electricity from one liter of urine and demonstrated their invention at Maker Faire Africa in Lagos, Nigeria. Here is how the machine works:
Urine is put into a cell, which extracts hydrogen.
The hydrogen goes into a water filter to be cleaned further. The purified hydrogen turns to gas, which is then pushed into the gas cylinder.
The gas cylinder pushes the hydrogen gas into a cylinder of liquid borax. The liquid borax removes the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
This purified hydrogen gas is then pushed into the generator to be used as fuel.
