help pleas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Mary Anning: First Fossil Hunter


Smack! Smash! Splash! In 1799, Mary Anning was born to the sound of ocean waves crashing against the cliffs of Lyme Regis, England. When Mary was just a few years old, she and her older brother, Joseph, would go to the town's seashore with her father. Here Mary's father taught his children how to hunt for fossils in the rocks and cliffs. At this time, scientists were just beginning to understand fossils, or the remains of plants and animals that lived long, long ago. Wealthy visitors would come to Lyme Regis to vacation. The Anning family had little money, so they would sell the small fossils they found to these tourists.


Mary was a quiet girl. Some might say that in Mary's case still waters run deep because she was also bright, curious, and a hard worker who spent long days on the beach looking for fossils. She needed to help her family survive. Life was hard and when it rains, it pours. Soon, Mary's father died. Although she was only 10, Mary was forced to quit school, and now she needed to work even harder to find fossils to sell. Because of unstable cliffs, battering waves, and sudden storms, Mary had to be bold and daring. It was dangerous work.


But one day, something happened to show that every cloud has a silver lining. When Mary was about 12, Joseph made a fantastic find. He found a large fossil skull that had a long nose and many teeth.


First, Mary planned how to uncover the rest of the creature. Then, over several months, she unearthed each part of the fossil. Since haste makes waste, Mary did not want to hurry and damage the fossil. She chiseled and chipped slowly, tapping and brushing carefully. Finally, Mary uncovered an almost complete skeleton of a prehistoric creature. A wealthy neighbor bought the fossils and later scientists named the creature ichthyosaur, or fish-lizard.


The discovery of the ichthyosaur called attention to Mary as a fossil hunter, but her family was still poor. Mary continued to uncover fossils to sell. Even though she had little formal schooling, Mary knew how to read and write. During her teenage years, Mary taught herself about rocks, animals, fish, and the earth. She wrote letters to well-known scientists. Some scientists came to visit her in Lyme Regis.


About 11 years after finding ichthyosaur, Mary made another astonishing discovery. She dug out another reptile that had lived in the sea, the first complete plesiosaur. The plesiosaur was nine feet long with a lizard's head and crocodile teeth. Scientists called the long-necked plesiosaur the sea dragon. This was followed by her discovery of the rare fossil of the flying dragon, pterodactyl.


With each discovery, Mary's fame grew. Visitors followed her on fossil hunts, and scientists combed the beach with her. Throughout her life, Mary looked for fossils. She was one of the first persons to make a living as a fossil hunter. Mary helped solve the puzzle of what life was like long ago.


After her death in 1847, Mary was honored with a stained-glass window in the church of Lyme Regis. Many of the fossils Mary Anning uncovered are still studied and displayed in museums.


Why does the author state the date of Mary's birth at the beginning of the passage and the date of her death at the end of the passage?


A.

to show the time order of events in Mary's life


B.

to show what caused Mary to be interested in fossils


C.

to show how Mary's life was different from Joseph's life


D.

to show the effects of the hard life that Mary's family lived

It began on a pointy July afternoon:

I was the most smart doctor around,

She was the most talented princess.

She was my friend,

My talented friend,

My princess.

We used to nuzzle so well together,

Back then.

We wanted to natter together, around the world,

We wanted it all.

But one afternoon, one pointy afternoon,

We decided to natter too much.

Together we evicted a chip munk.

It was sharp, so sharp.

From that moment our relationship changed.

And then it happened:

Oh no! Oh no!

The next day I thought my brain had broken,

I thought my neck had burst into flames,

(But I was actually overreacting a little.)

But still, she is in my thoughts.

I think about how it all changed that afternoon,

That pointy July afternoon.

My neck... ouch!

What line best indicates the state of the statue?" (In "OZYMANDIAS")

Options

"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"

"And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, / Tell that its sculptor well those passions read / Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things," (Lines 5-7)

"And on the pedestal these words appear: / My name is Ozymandias, king of kings" (Lines 9-10)

The speaker describes her tomb as a "house," showing she views her body's final resting place as one of comfort rather than fear."I met a traveller from an antique land / Who said: ‘Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Stand in the desert...'" (Lines 1-3)

Answers

Answer:

"Round the decay/Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare"

Explanation:

Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" describes a traveler's encounter with an ancient statue of Ozymandias and how dilapidated it had become. The poem is suggestive of the destructive power of nature and how man's works seemed mere obstacles for the stronger power of nature.

In the words of the poet through the traveler, we can know that the once-mighty statue of Ozymandias had now become "a shattered visage [with] wrinkled lip." Though proudly displayed with the words "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!", the only thing that remained is a "decay[ing] colossal wreck".

The words "decay" and "colossal wreck" best indicate the state of the statue.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

What is the difference between a fact and an opinion? Give an example of each.

Answers

Answer: Facts will also be unbiased. They do not support only one perspective and present the information in an objective manner. For opinions, the author's writing might be biased and written in a way to try to persuade the reader to believe in what he or she is saying.

Explanation: For example, your friend says that all ice cream is tasty. This is their opinion, because not everyone may think the same way, nor can it be proven to be true. Opinions may not be rooted in fact or be supported by strong evidence, though there are exceptions, such as in the case of expert opinions.

Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

Complete the sentence by adding a dependent clause. Please type in complete sentence. Observe correct Capitalization and punctuation.

Please help, this is due today!!

Answers

Answer: and died soon after.

Explanation:

The plant withered and died soon after.

A dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone if not in a sentence i.e. it does not make sense as a sentence.

For example, Jane ate all the leftover because she was hungry.

In the above, the underlined is the dependent variable. Notice how it cannot be its own sentence because alone it would not make sense.

In the above, I added the dependent clause; ''and died soon after'' because it is a dependent variable as well as what usually happens to withered plants.

Indifference is markedly more dangerous than other negative feelings, such as hatred or anger, because in the latter, despite wishing evil or having negative feelings about something or someone, there is an interest on the part of the person regarding that thing or person. On the other hand, in indifference, the disinterest is total, which can lead to a lack of attention to the thing that can cause harm, both in the person who is indifferent and in third parties.
