From “The Snowstorm” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, drive o’er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hill and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end.
6 The sled and traveler stopped, the courier’s feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
9 In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Which best restates lines 6–9 of Emerson’s poem?


People are staying indoors during the storm.


Travelers stop to admire the beauty of the woods.


Neighbors stay in contact during the storm.


Families enjoy sitting around the fire together.

Could someone please make a clincher sentence for me?

The conclusion of my essay(this is what needs the clincher to end):
In brief, health issues, loneliness, and many other problems humans faced many centuries ago, and still face now, have been reduced thanks to domesticated animals. Animals were found to be extremely helpful to humans, and are now kept as pets.


The rest of the essay(the essay is about the cause and effect of pets and owners):

Introduction - George Eliot has said, “Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” The pets that are now humankind’s companions today were once wild animals. They now benefit humans in many ways. Because animals were domesticated many centuries ago, humans then began to have them as companions and kept them as pets; this led to a reduction of loneliness and health issues.

Body paragraph 1 - Early humans domesticated certain animals many centuries ago. National Geographic notes, “Because most major acts of domestication began before recorded history, we don’t know much about the exact process behind the generations-long journey from wild animal to domesticated pet or livestock. What is clear is that the ancestors of domesticated animals must have already exhibited traits that made them somehow useful to humans—traits that may have ranged from tasty meat to warm coats to a natural affinity for people.” Animals showed a natural affinity for people many years before being domesticated. The National Academy of Sciences has researched that, “Domestication of today's barnyard animals proceeded as a result of pressure by these early hunter-gatherers as they intuitively sought to stabilize their food resources (17, 24, 25). Among the successful domesticates, most were behaviorally preadapted to domestication. Behavioral characteristics considered favorable and unfavorable are presented in Table 2. Barnyard animals descend from herd-living herbivores whose ancestors followed a dominant individual through a territory shared with other herds.” Based off behavior, “hunter-gatherers” selected barnyard animals to stabilize their food resources. Humans began to domesticate animals because of things like a shortage of food, a need for help, and such.

Body paragraph 2 - As a result, more and more domesticated animals became pets over the years. Certain domesticated animals were seen as tame, or capable of being tamed. We now have various types of pets today, because of domestication many centuries back. “More than half of the global population is estimated to have a pet at home”, Health for Animals has analyzed. It is very common to have pets these days. Further on, John Leonard, a writer for “Greece Is”, claims, “Within the home and garden, the range of animals kept as pets was almost boundless, including dogs, ducks, geese, caged birds, rabbits, hares, tortoises, goats, quail, and mice.” There was, and still is, a wide range of animals kept as pets. Many different animals were domesticated, and are now pets.

Body paragraph 3 - The benefits of having pets range from a reduction of loneliness and health issues to increased happiness and better social skills. “The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their emotional and social skills.” News in Health states. There are many benefits of having pets, many pertaining to health. News in Health has also found that “Animals can serve as a source of comfort and support. Therapy dogs are especially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes to help reduce patients’ stress and anxiety.” [Animals, especially dogs, are in tune to human emotions and are good support. The benefits of having pets are vast, and increase more, and more, over the years.

excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright

“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”

Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.

Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.

Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?

It shows that Gandhi is untrustworthy.


It reveals that Gandhi learns the importance of nonviolence.


It proves that gold is important to Gandhi.


It demonstrates that as a teen Gandhi has a permissive father.

Then there were shouts and the pounding of feet, and the Socs jumped up and left me lying there, gasping. I lay there and wondered what in the world was happening—people were jumping over me and running by me and I was too dazed to figure it out. Then someone had me under the armpits and was hauling me to my feet. It was Darry.

"Are you all right, Ponyboy?”

He was shaking me and I wished he’d stop. I was dizzy enough anyway. I could tell it was Darry though—partly because of the voice and partly because Darry’s always rough with me without meaning to be.

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school, and
he spent all his time at home listening to music and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to
teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan. But Victor would respond
the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm
famous. You'll see." There was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at
singing. Victor enjoyed singing so much that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of
those who endured his singing. Some lied to him and said they liked his singing. Other people
told him to find something else to do with his life. Victor accused those people of being "jealous
haters" and ignored their advice. Soon Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music
career. The years passed and the doors never opened. What is the theme of this story?
