Answer:
The author thinks her friend is too ambitious.
Explanation:
The correct version of the passage you were given is the following:
My friend Sadia is really busy. She is a state-ranked cross-country champion, and in her spare time, she takes classes at the community college. I think she composes symphonies on the weekends and probably dabbles in particle physics too - you know, just for laughs.
The options you were given are:
The author thinks her friend is not very smartThe author thinks her friend is too ambitiousThe author is impressed by her friendThe author believes her friend is good at both music and science.The author most probably thinks that her friend is too ambitious. First, she tells about Sadia's main accomplishment - about being a state-ranked cross-country champion. Then, she tells us what she goes to a community college in her spare time. Normally, community college is the main responsibility of students. Taking classes is not something people do in their spare time. Based on this, we can conclude that Sadia is left with no free time and is probably exhausted. Training for championships and studying for college are tiring enough on their own, and when combined, they're exhausting.
The following remarks additionally confirm that the author thinks that Sadia is too ambitious. She is being sarcastic, mocking Sadia with a joke about some imaginary responsibilities. Sadia doesn't literally compose symphonies on weekends and dabbles in particle physics. This is confirmed by the phrases I think and just for laughs.
This is why the second option is the correct one.

According to the already stated information, Jon Ronson explains that Twitter was initially a place where people could be safe and admit some secrets about themselves and not be shamed about it, instead feel connection to others.

describe in a full-page some place that seem mysterious exotic or fearful for you concentrate on it creating the same impression on your reader by a careful selection of sensory details which recreate the setting.
Answer:
1. Prologue (or Introduction): Explain the significance of your title, making clear why it is relevant to your life in particular. Introduce yourself gracefully to your reader and capture our attention. Include a brief description of this writing project and its purposes -- in your own words.
2. What’s in a Name? Names are an integral part of who we are. They shape our sense of who we are. Explore your feelings about “the unity between [your]self and [your] name.” Are these the names you would have chosen for yourself? Surname, middle name, Christian name? Is there a story behind your naming? Someone famous, a family member, weird initials? Does your name have symbolic meaning? Is it ethnic or historic or literary? Did your parents consider other names? In short, how do you live with your name?
3. Personal Alphabet: Browse through a dictionary, looking for adjectives to describe yourself. Know the meaning of the words you select and be able to explain how each word you've chosen fits you. Choose at least one adjective for each letter of the alphabet. Be sure you choose the adjective form of words. For example, “excite” is a verb and “excitable” is an adjective. “Exciting” is a participle so it can be used as an adjective . . .BUT “excitable” and “exciting” mean very different things.
4. Likes / Dislikes List: Make two columns, one titled “Likes,” the other “Dislikes,” and list from ten to fifteen specific items in each column. Avoid naming specific classmates and teachers by generalizing. For example, “that mean teacher who's making me write an autobiography,” not my name!
5. Sensory Experiences: The five senses allow us to perceive whatever is tangible, or concrete. A sensory experience is something we can taste, touch, smell, see, or hear. For example, ice-cold water-melon, hot dogs sizzling over a charcoal fire, mosquito bites, fireworks, and the music of the ice-cream wagon are sensory experiences I associate with a Fourth of July picnic. Describe a specific time and place which recalls rich sensory experiences for you. Include at least two details that appeal to each of the five senses.

How does the speaker feel about his role in the Underground Railroad now that he is older?
He wishes that he had never put his family in so much danger.
He wishes he had done more to help others when he had the chance.
He feels proud that he helped so many people gain their freedom.
He feels grateful that he was able to get back at the slaveholders.
He feels proud that he helped so many people gain their freedom does the speaker feel about his role in the Underground Railroad now that he is older. Hence, option C is correct.
Who started the Underground Railroad and why?The Quakers are regarded as the first formal organization to actively aid emancipated slaves. In 1786, George Washington expressed his displeasure with Quakers' attempts to "liberate" one of his slave employees.
The Underground Railroad was not an actual railway and it was not underground. It was a network of individuals, both whites and free Negroes, who collaborated to assist fugitives from slave-owning states in getting to northern states and Canada, where slavery was prohibited.
Emancipation and the Underground Railroad came to an end with the end of the Civil War. There is little information available about how the Underground Railroad functioned because it was made up of a loose network of people who were both free and enslaved.
Thus, option C is correct.

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. “WHY do you say ‘feather’ so often?” Alice asked at last, rather vexed. “I'm not a bird!” “You are,” said the Sheep: “you're a little goose.” This offended Alice a little, so there was no more conversation for a minute or two, while the boat glided gently on, sometimes among beds of weeds (which made the oars stick fast in the water, worse than ever), and sometimes under trees, but always with the same tall river-banks frowning over their heads. What tone do the underlined words create in this passage? They create a frightened tone. They create a humorous tone. They create a tense tone. They create a happy tone.

We have the right to decide what truths we reveal about ourselves.
agree.....(why)
disagree.......(why)
Answer and Explanation:
Agree.
Firstly, it is important to clarify that keeping certain kinds of truth to ourselves is not the same as lying. It is more a matter or privacy than it is of honesty. There are several aspects that make up for our lives as individuals and as members of society: personal, family, work, romantic, etc. When dealing with people in different contexts related to one or more of those aspects, we should have the right to choose what we reveal about ourselves. Not all information is crucial in every single context. Not every truth needs be told. Again, I am not defending lies. However, as long as we are not hurting ourselves nor others, we have the right to filter out truths.

A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life. A sailboat glistening on the horizon provides a mental escape to faraway places. The rhythm of the ocean beating against the sand is sedating music to a troubled mind. A slow, gentle breeze can relax your tensions. You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach.
Keeping in mind the paragraph above. Need help finding/writing the 2 sentences for the following,
A. The sentence that's the topic sentence of the paragraph.
B. The sentence that is unrelated to the topic and can be eliminated.
Answer:
A. A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life.
B. You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach.
Explanation:
A. Topic Sentence:
A topic sentence gives the idea of what the paragraph is about. This paragraph tells about how the senses are relaxed near or around the beach or sea or water area. So the first sentence summarizes this idea that a trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life.
B. Not topic sentence.
Any sentence which is not related to the topic or does not have any element of the topic is a not topic sentence. In this paragraph the not topic sentence is You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach. This sentence has no element of relaxation near or around the ocean . Instead it is an instruction that we should be careful while sunbathing.
