The Curse of the Bambino
(1) On December 26, 1919, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Harry Frazee, made a decision that would haunt fans of the club for 86 years. He sold his best player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. This transaction marked the beginning of the "Curse of the Bambino." The Curse of the Bambino was the belief that, because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, they would never win another World Series.
(2) Ruth helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918. However, his demands for a higher salary and his poor attitude caused Frazee to look for a chance to trade him. He chose an offer from the Yankees to sell Ruth for cash.
(3) Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Ruth would go on to become the greatest player in the history of the game. After purchasing Ruth, the Yankees would go on to become the most successful baseball club in history. They won their 26th World Series title in 2000.
(4) However, the worst part of the curse was that the Red Sox came very close to winning the championship several times but suffered heartbreaking losses. For Sox fans, seeing their team suffer heartbreaking losses was worse than the fate of teams like the Chicago Cubs, who were usually too bad to even get close.
(5) Finally, in 2004, Red Sox fans were rewarded for their loyalty. The Red Sox were able to defeat their rivals, the Yankees, to advance to the World Series. Then, they easily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. While Red Sox fans suffered for 86 years, they would say that their victory in 2004 was sweeter because they had longed for it for so many years.
Which of the following sentences would best introduce paragraph 4?
A.

"Little Emperors: China's One-Child Policy"
The census has shown that China has the highest population in the world.
A. Subjective
B. Objective
Answer:
Objective
Explanation:
If you're wondering if this article is objective or subjective, it seems objective because it's an informational article. I didn't read through the entire thing, but if no bias is shown or opinionated statements were mentioned, this article would be objective.
Answer:
B. Objective
Explanation:
The word “objective” refers to factual, data-based information that is not informed by bias. When someone gives you an objective assessment of a topic, it is formulated from data, verifiable facts, or other irrefutable evidence without considering the speaker’s personal feelings.
This article states that a census update recorded that China had the highest population in the world. A census cannot be subjective, which means "a term that refers to someone’s personal opinions or feelings regarding a particular subject matter."

Read the following excerpt from A Narrative in the Life of Frederick Douglass. Then, answer the question that follows.
I will take to the water. This very bay shall bear me into
freedom. The steamboats steered in a northeast course from North
Point. I will do the same; and when I get to the head of the bay,
I will turn my canoe adrift, and walk straight through Delaware
into Pennsylvania.
In this passage, which technique does Douglass use to vary his sentence structure to make his writing more interesting for his reader?
He includes interesting punctuation in each sentence.
He starts each sentence with the same word.
He switches the order of words in his sentences.
He uses a mix of long and short sentences.
Answer:
He uses a mix of long and short sentences.
Explanation:
In the given passage, Frederick Douglass uses a mix of long and short sentences to vary his sentence structure and make his writing more interesting for the reader. For instance, the first sentence is a short and declarative sentence that expresses his intention to take to the water to gain freedom. The second sentence is longer and more complex, explaining his plan in detail. Then he uses another short sentence to conclude his thought. By mixing the length of the sentences, Douglass creates a rhythm and flow to his writing, which keeps the reader engaged and interested in the story.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Articles. Read a short passage from the book you have selected and identify all
the instances where articles (a, an, the) are used. Rewrite the passage without the
articles and see how the meaning changes.
OK the answer to this question is that a is used in nouns where any vowel is not the first letter or the noun is singular. an is used when the noun starting letter is a vowel. the is used for specific nouns
Answer:
Short passage from the book "The Epic of Gilgamesh" with the articles identified:
In ancient Mesopotamia, there was a great king named Gilgamesh. He was a powerful warrior and a wise ruler. He was also very proud and arrogant.
One day, Gilgamesh was challenged by a wild man named Enkidu. Enkidu was strong and savage, and he defeated Gilgamesh in battle. After the battle, Gilgamesh and Enkidu became friends. They traveled together and had many adventures.
One of their adventures took them to the Cedar Forest, where they fought a giant monster named Humbaba. They were victorious, but Enkidu was mortally wounded. Gilgamesh was grief-stricken, and he began to question the meaning of life.
In the passage above, there are a total of 10 articles:
a great king
the Epic of Gilgamesh
a wild man
the battle
a wise ruler
the Cedar Forest
a giant monster
the meaning of life
the passage
If we remove the articles from the passage, the meaning changes slightly. For example, the sentence "In ancient Mesopotamia, there was a great king named Gilgamesh" becomes "In ancient Mesopotamia, there was great king named Gilgamesh." The meaning of the sentence is still clear, but it is less specific. The article "a" is used to indicate that there was one king, but without the article, the sentence could be interpreted to mean that there were multiple kings.
The other articles in the passage also serve to add specificity. For example, the article "the" is used to refer to the specific book "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and the specific monster "Humbaba." Without the articles, the meaning of these references would be less clear.
In general, articles are used in English to add specificity and clarity to language. They can also be used to avoid ambiguity. When articles are removed from a passage, the meaning of the passage may still be clear, but it may be less specific and less clear.
The question is in the picture.

develop an persuasive argument on what school rules would you change.
In 150 words.
In Hoot, what is the argument between Roy's brain and heart that the book keeps talking about? What does this conflict show?
In the book Hoot, the argument between Roy's brain and heart refers to his internal struggle between doing what he knows is right versus what he wants to do. Roy's brain tells him to follow the rules and not get involved in the conflict between the construction company and the owls, while his heart tells him to stand up for what he believes in and protect the endangered owls. This conflict shows the struggle between doing what is easy versus doing what is right, and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs even if it means going against the status quo. The conflict also shows the value of empathy and compassion for other living beings, and the impact that one person can have on the world around them.

You are asked to revise the following sentence so it contains no dangling or misplaced modifiers:
We hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels holding our cameras.
Which choice is the best answer?
There is no revision needed. The original sentence is correct as it is.
Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels.
Holding our cameras, we waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes.
We waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes holding our cameras.
Answer: Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels.
Explanation:
The original sentence, "We hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels holding our cameras," contains a dangling modifier. It suggests that the squirrels were holding our cameras instead of us. To correct this, we need to rephrase the sentence so that the subject doing the action is mentioned.
One possible revision is, "Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels." This revision ensures that the phrase "holding our cameras" correctly modifies "we." It conveys that while holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels.
By rephrasing the sentence, we maintain clarity and remove any imprecision regarding who is holding the cameras and waiting for the squirrels. This revision improves the sentence's structure and eliminates the issue of dangling or misplaced modifiers.

Explanation:
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you? re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know

Why in the early 2000’s was there a push to prosecute more Nazis?
Answer:
The push to prosecute more Nazis in the early 2000s was driven by several factors.
Unfinished justice: Many Nazis who participated in war crimes and genocide during World War II had escaped justice or received lenient sentences after the war due to various reasons, such as lack of evidence, political considerations, or legal loopholes. As time passed, there was a growing sense of unfinished justice, and efforts were made to hold accountable those who had committed heinous crimes during the Holocaust.
Aging perpetrators: With the passage of time, the surviving perpetrators of Nazi war crimes were becoming increasingly elderly and frail. There was a sense of urgency to bring them to justice before they passed away, as it was believed that the victims and their families deserved closure and accountability, and that the perpetrators should not be able to evade justice due to old age or health issues.
Legal advancements: Over the years, there were legal advancements that facilitated the prosecution of Nazi war criminals. For example, the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in the 1990s set important precedents for international criminal law, and there was increased international cooperation in bringing war criminals to trial.
Historical significance: The Holocaust and the crimes committed by the Nazis during World War II were some of the most egregious acts of genocide and mass atrocities in human history. Bringing the remaining perpetrators to justice was seen as an important step in acknowledging and addressing the historical significance of these crimes, and sending a clear message that such acts would not be tolerated.
Moral imperative: Many believed that prosecuting more Nazis was a moral imperative to ensure accountability for the victims and to prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future. It was seen as a duty to remember the victims and honor their memory by holding the perpetrators accountable, regardless of the passage of time.
Overall, the push to prosecute more Nazis in the early 2000s was driven by a combination of factors, including the pursuit of unfinished justice, the aging of perpetrators, legal advancements, historical significance, and a moral imperative to acknowledge and address the crimes committed during the Holocaust.
