The Fox and the Grapes
from Aesop's Fables

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So, he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again, and again he tried, but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust. "What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."
And off he walked very, very scornfully.

Which sentence in the passage uses definition to help explain the meaning of the word Celts?
Halloween

Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world. In fact, it dates back to before Christianity began. Today, Halloween mainly is celebrated by wearing scary costumes and asking for treats. However, its primary purpose was to remember the dead. It was said to be a day when the spirits would cross over to the next world. Also, the day was originally used to mark the beginning of winter. This tradition was followed by the Celts. This ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age. Halloween, for them, was rather glum and not a day for rejoicing. Over the years, the holiday became less grim. People began seeing it as a day of celebration. Today, families carve pumpkins to decorate their houses. They also play games, such as bobbing for apples.

Answers

The sentence that would help describe Celts is “The ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age... Halloween was rather glum and not a day for rejoicing.”

Answer:

This ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age.

Explanation:

If you look at the passage, you are looking to find a sentence that simply summarizes who the Celts were.

In the sentence that I found, it told us in just a couple of words many facts that tell us a lot.

"This ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age."

From that sentence we know that the Celts were:

- Ancient

- A group of people

- They lived and formed during the Bronze Age

We can see here that one idea that I believe should become a law is mandatory recycling in all public spaces, including parks, beaches, and public transportation.

What is a law?

A law is a set of rules and regulations that are created by a governing authority, such as a country's legislature or judiciary, to regulate behavior and ensure order and justice within a society.

Here are three reasons why I believe this idea should be a law:

Firstly, mandatory recycling in public spaces can significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which in turn can help protect the environment.

Secondly, mandatory recycling can help to educate and raise awareness about the importance of recycling and environmental conservation. When people are required to separate their waste, they become more conscious of their own consumption habits and how they contribute to environmental issues.

Finally, mandatory recycling in public spaces can also have economic benefits.

Explanation:

In the cold northlands of the Vikings, a child named Sigurd is born. Even before he has come into the world, his father, the king, dies in battle against Odin, one of the gods of the Vikings. Sigurd then becomes the stepson of the new king. When Sigurd is young, the king sends him to live with one of his stepfather’s barons, Regin. Regin is a dwarf, a race of magical creatures who live underground and always want more gold than they can get.
One day in the stables, Regin says, "Sigurd, you are the son of the first king; you are strong. Take your inheritance by force, and you will be king."
Sigurd says, "But the king is kind to me. He gives me whatever I ask."
Regin laughs at Sigurd. He asks, "If this is true, then where is your horse? You cannot be a knight without a horse."
Sigurd says, "It will be easy to get a horse. I will show you." So he sets out to find one.
While selecting a horse to buy, Sigurd is approached by an old man.
"You are Sigurd, son of the king; you must choose this great white stallion. He will never fail you."
Sigurd listens to the old man and picks the horse named Grani, a magical steed. After Sigurd leaves with Grani, the old man reveals himself to be none other than Odin. He has disguised himself so that he could help Sigurd without the young warrior's knowledge.
When Sigurd returns with a magical horse, Regin is furious. Regin devises a plan to rid himself of Sigurd. He tells Sigurd, "This proves nothing. Anyone can buy a horse. Kill the dragon Fafnir and all will know of your valor. And you will have riches beyond any other king."
In order to slay Fafnir, Sigurd asks Regin to make him a wondrous sword. When Regin hands him the sword, Sigurd tests it by striking the anvil on which it was made. The sword breaks, so Sigurd asks for another. The second sword also breaks. Sigurd then asks Regin to make him a sword from the broken pieces of the first two. When Sigurd tests the third sword, it slices through the anvil cleanly.
With his sword, his magical steed, and his strength and wisdom, Sigurd gathers his courage and enters battle against Fafnir. Odin, disguised as the old man, appears before Sigurd and says, "You cannot face him head on; you will be slain. Dig a hole. If you do this, you will defeat him easily."
Once again, Sigurd listens to the old man. When the hole is dug, Sigurd hides in it and yells out a challenge to Fafnir. The dragon comes charging. The ground trembles under the fearsome beast, but Sigurd does not run. When the dragon is over the hole, Sigurd strikes and slays Fafnir with one blow. After his victory, some of the dragon’s power spills into Sigurd. The hero becomes even stronger and goes on to accomplish even greater deeds so that his legend still lives on many years later.



Which sentence from the passage best shows Sigurd's wisdom?
A.
When Regin hands him the sword, Sigurd tests it by striking the anvil on which it was made.
B.
When Sigurd is young, he is sent to live with one of his step-father's barons, Regin.

   There once was a man who lived in a cabin. One night, he decided he was hungry for fish. He grabbed his pole and went to the lake. He cast his line, but didn't catch anything. So, he made a salad instead

    The next night, the man once again decided fish sounded delicous. He went to lake, through his line out and waited. Again, he didn't catch anything. So, he marched back inside and made hiself a hamburger.

     On the third night, the man yearned for fish. So, he went outside, cast his line out and waited. This time, something different happened. A fish came up to him and asked,"Why do you throw that line in every day?". The man was tricky and responded,"If a fish bites on that line, He will live forever." The fish swam over to the hook and bit down on it. The man quickly reeled that fish in.

    "You tricked me!" cried the fish. "You should have known better and not trusted a stranger." The fish then took its last breath. The man took it inside and cooked up the delicous fish for dinner.
