Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger president. He made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.

On the other hand, he had to be a contradiction in human terms; he still had to have spirit. He could not be an Uncle Tom. His ability to turn the other cheek had to be predicated on his determination to gain acceptance. Once having proven his ability as player, teammate, and man, he had to be able to cast off humbleness and stand up as a full-fledged participant whose triumph did not carry the poison of bitterness.

Which is the central idea of this excerpt?

Rickey is frustrated with the cruel treatment of his players.
Rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration.
Rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press.
Rickey wants to interview athletes to assess their personalities.

Answer:

B. and D.

Explanation:

75/3 and 150/6 are right because 25/1 means if you multiply it by 3 to get to 75 then the 1 also needs to be multiplied to 3 which is 75/3 and is an answer. Then you just do the same thing with the other and bing bang boom your done.

Which of these aspects would be least useful in characterizing a villain as greedy?
A) They always grab the last slice of pizza
B) They always grab the last slice of pizza
C) They look down on charity
D) They are very wealthy

Answers

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Greediness is when you don't like to share, and like to have everything to yourself. It's a selfish desire, when you only think of yourself and no one else. Not all people who are greedy are wealthy or rich, but some are of course, but stealing the last slice of pizza is unforgivable and should be a crime! Nothing can compare to someone stealing the last slice!

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.” If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. Which statement explains how this excerpt relates to the position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time? Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home.

Answers

C is the answer.

A: Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Wrong - the expectation was for women to both work in the home AND raise children

B: Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option.  Wrong- these two things aren't really connected. And poor women were/are more likely to be working.

C: Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. The first part is true (text evidence: "even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable thing"). So is the second part- women only working in the home was (and is) taken for granted, as it was the norm. C is correct.

D: Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home. Totally wrong- women were restricted and discouraged from having individual careers so it didn't happen often.

Which idea presented in the selection does the photograph and caption next to paragraph 3 best support?

People like to buy produce that is sold at a reduced price

An initial step in Sainsbury’s plan is to sell appealing food to its customers.

Unwanted produce can be a nutritious source of food for farm animals.

Sainsbury’s donates fresh produce to local organizations that help people in need.

This is the paragraph 3

Offering shoppers the freshest and most appealing products possible is a good start. Attractive food sells the best. At the end of each day, each grocery store reduces the prices of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products. Cheaper food sells even better. Whatever edible food is left goes to charities for distribution to people who need it. Free food goes into bellies rather than the ground. Sainsbury’s gives away large amounts of food to farmers to feed animals as well. Animals do not care if lettuce is wilted.

What is a Photograph?

Polyester, the most durable plastic used in photo preservation, doesn't produce any dangerous chemicals and lacks the ability to absorb acids produced by the photograph itself.

Polyester sleeves and encapsulation have received appreciation for their capacity to shield the photograph from moisture and environmental blight while delaying the item's reaction to the environment. Although this is the case, polyester also commonly traps harmful substances near the material it is meant to shield.

This poses a particular risk if the storage space is subject to sharp changes in temperature or humidity, which might cause the sticking of the photo to the plastic.

In addition to being unable to be placed vertically in boxes because they will bend and fold as they slide down next to one another inside, photographs that are sleeved or enclosed in polyester cannot be identified by the archivist by writing directly on the polyester.

Sarah has written an outline for an essay. One of her bullet points shows that educating the public about the importance of using seat belts convinces more people to use them. In which part of the outline can this idea be found?
Introduction
Car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens. Of the teens that died in car accidents last year, more than half of them were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Seat belts may not be comfortable or feel cool to wear, but they can save lives. They reduce serious injuries and deaths by more than half. People tend to use seat belts less often if there are no seat belt laws in their state. In order to prevent injuries, there should be seat belt education in schools, laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and awareness campaigns for the public. Body Paragraph Every school should have some type of health education program. This program should review the importance of healthy eating and exercise, the body systems, and refraining from drugs and alcohol. These things can protect your health and keep you safe. But car accidents are the number one killer for teenagers. In order to prevent deaths, seat belt education needs to be included in health education programs. When students understand the importance of wearing a seat belt, they will be more likely to wear seat belts in the car. In 1985, the Ad Council introduced a commercial featuring the crash test dummies. The ad said, “You could learn a lot from a dummy.” People wearing seat belts increased from 14% to 79%. Conclusion Taking the time to teach seat belt education in schools, creating laws to make citizens wear seat belts, and using awareness campaigns to educate the public can help prevent injuries and deaths on the road.
