A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.


Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.


Which of the following best states the main idea of the article "A Big Year"?

A)"Big Year" birders compete for honor, love, and record-setting.
B)"Big Year" birders get very competitive about seeing rare birds.
C)"Big Year" birders have a list of important birds to see.
D)"Big Year" birders compete to see more birds than others.

Answer:

Revised laws, just leaders, unwavering support— this is how we restore peace and end segregation.

Explanation:

The em dash or long dash is one form of punctuation in grammar that has been confused and even mixed with the en dash, hyphen, etc. It has also been majorly replaced in its usage in a sentence by the comma, parenthesis, or even the semi-colon.

In the given sentence, the em dash will be used. This is so that the first part of the sentence "revised laws, just leaders, unwavering support" is the list of points that the sentence is trying to make. And the em dash will emphasize them while also separating them in the same manner.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

The group of sentences best uses a variety of sentence patterns to convey meaning and relationship between ideas he jumped at the sudden noise, but no one was behind him. So he kept walking, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure he was alone.

What is noise?

Noise is an unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, there is no distinction between noise and desired sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.

Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate or unintended. In contrast, noise in electronics may not be audible to the human ear and may require detection instruments. In audio engineering, noise can refer to the unwanted residual electronic noise signal that gives rise to acoustic noise heard as a hiss.

This signal noise is commonly measured using A-weighting or ITU-R 468 weighting.

Besides the fact that, the area will be updated and renewed, it'll also bring tourists and help the trade to grow, so that people who work there can make a living. On the other hand, it may destroy some old facilities with such an interesting history, in order to make the area more modern. It would also make a difficulty in moving with a car, so that the tourists can walk in the road and see the area.

People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play. They cheered, booed and sometimes even threw objects at the actors; Basically very different.

Answer:

In Shakespeare's time, a stage wasn't just one type of space; plays had to be versatile. The same play might be produced in an outdoor playhouse, an indoor theater, a royal palace—or, for a company on tour, the courtyard of an inn.

In any of these settings, men and boys played all the characters, male and female; acting in Renaissance England was an exclusively male profession. Audiences had their favorite performers, looked forward to hearing music with the productions, and relished the luxurious costumes of the leading characters. The stage itself was relatively bare. For the most part, playwrights used vivid words instead of scenery to picture the scene onstage.

Which sentence in this story from Aesop's Fables best uses descriptive language to provide details about a character? The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's residence late at night. "You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner." Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "What! going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied; "Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear."

Answer:

“He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome.”

Explanation:

'Aesop fables,' is the book by Aesop. The sentence that uses the words, rough, ready, cousin, and heartily welcome best portrays the descriptive language.

The death of a loved one can affect the way a child thinks when they are young. The remembrance, the mere fact that somebody they truly loved is gone forever, passed away, can break their mind into pieces, cursing it with sadness and making them feel lonesome in ways that deeply hurt them and affect them. And as they grow up, the struggles of that memory of that loved one dying, whether it's a pet or grandparent, can change the way they act and feel, the way they interact with others, and how they handle their emotions.
