SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Read this sentence from the text:

We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land.

What is the best explanation for beached the boat based on the context of this sentence?

Created an anchor for the boat on shore
Not taken the boat on that day
Returned the boat to its harbor
Stopped or parked the boat

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Stopped or parked the boat

Explanation:

In the text presented in the question above, we can see that the narrator and his companions decided to stop the boat they used to navigate to explore the region out of the water. To stop the boat and gain access to dry land, they would need to park that boat, so it would be safe to get off the boat and walk around the area knowing and exploring it.

In this case, through the context of the text, when the narrator states that they had beached the boat, he is referring to the acts of stopping and parking the boat.

Author's Point of View:
Video games can help teens become more social.

Conflicting Point of View:
Video games isolate teenagers from the outside world.

Which piece of evidence conflicts with the author's point of view about video games in the section "Social Gaming"?

A: Collaborate video games can teach teenagers responsibility.

B: A teenage gamer is not a loner cut off from the real world.

C: Many augmented reality games are an escape for teenagers.

D: Only one quarter of teens play video games alone all the time.​

Answers

The correct answer is C. Many augmented reality games are an escape for teenagers.

Explanation

In fragment, the author establishes his position by saying "Video games can help teens become more social". According to this, he establishes a strong argument through evidence such as "In 2008 PEW research study of teenagers ages 12-17, only one-quarter of the teens who played video games alone all the time". On the other hand, the idea "Many augmented reality games are an escape for teenagers" contradicts the main point of the author because this idea proposes that video games isolate teenagers, which is the opposite of main point.

Because declarative sentence does not ask a question ("Do you like cheese?"), give an order (e.g., "Pass the cheese."), or express strong emotion (e.g. "I hate cheese!"). Declarative sentences simply make a statement (or a declaration). They pass on information. A declarative sentence always ends with a period (full stop).

a declarative sentence is a sentence that makes a statement, provides a fact, offers an explanation, or conveys information. These types of sentences are also known as declarative statements. A declarative sentence is the most common type of sentence in the English language

do you think institutional discrimination occurs because people are purposely acting in a racially discrimination manner? why or why not.
please write more of 300 words​

Answers

Answer:

I believe that institutional discrimination does not occur because people purposefully act in a discriminatory way.

Explanation:

Institutional discrimination is the term that refers to racist concepts, customs and norms that are highly rooted in society and people's thinking, which are promoted and carried out as something common and cultural. Institutional discrimination is a racist act, but the people who practice it, fail to realize that they are being discriminatory and do not have, in most cases, the discernment that they are being racist and are causing social imbalance. An example of this occurs when a leader of an institution organizes the place by separating people by racial groups. This leader did not intend to discriminate against anyone, but by separating social races he established that they should not be together, which promoted discrimination.

In this way, I believe that institutional discrimination is not done because people purposely want to act in a discriminatory way, but because they did small discriminatory acts, without intention.

He'd used too many adjectives, but his professor thought the paper would be in good shape if he elided the unnecessary terms." Based on context clues in the reading, define "elide." to leave out to expand to include V to discuss​

Answers

Answer:

Based on the context clues, elide is to leave out.

Explanation:

We deduce that the meaning of the word elide is to leave out. What makes us realize the meaning of the word "elide" is the phrase "good shape" and the word "unnecessary." As the essay has unnecessary terms, to be in good shape, Jeremy needs to remove them. In other words, they need to be left out.

If the terms are unnecessary, they do not need to be expanded, included, or discussed. In conclusion, they need to be left out.


Ricardo recently experienced some difficulties with a project he was managing and the client asked
for another project manager to take over. When Ricardo's boss spoke with him to point out the
mistakes he had made, Ricardo was careful to not lose his temper and to listen carefully. Ricardo

A) messing up on the project.
B) not caring about the project.
C) keeping an open mind.
D) finding mistakes in the next project manager's work.

Answers

Answer:

C) keeping an open mind.

Explanation:

Ricardo showed a great example of how to be open-minded about work. As seen in the text above, Ricardo was replaced in the project he was managing because he was having difficulties and his presence did not allow the project to move forward. Ricardo was aware that a new manager would be the best for the project to progress and so he accepted the replacement and showed the points where he had made mistakes, so that the new manager could resolve them. This shows how Ricardo is an open-minded person, willing to act according to what is best for his projects.
