PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A? thank you ma'am
Hello. This question is incomplete. However, I managed to find her completely on the internet and I realized that in addition to forgetting to present the answer options, you forgot to say that Part A showed that the boy wants to thank Mrs. Luella Bates at the end of the story, because he felt grateful for her help and her faith that he would not be in trouble again.
Answer:
The detail of the text that best supports Part A is the sentence: “‘Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes. And next time, do not make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook nor nobody else’s'”
Explanation:
"Thank you ma'am" is a short story written by Langston Hughes. In this story we are introduced to an extremely poor boy who tries to steal Mrs. Luella Bates' purse. However, the boy is extremely thin and weak, making it impossible for him to steal her purse. The moment Mrs. Luella Bates sees the boy's situation, she understands that he is stealing from necessity and decides to help him. She takes him home, feeds him and allows him to take a shower. She trusted that he will not steal anything from the house, nor that he would run away, she still gives money for the boy to buy shoes and never steal anyone again. The boy is extremely grateful, especially for the trust that Mrs. Luella Bates gave him, taking him into her own home and helping him.
Which statement about a dangling modifier is true?
A.
It incorrectly joins two modifiers.
B.
It attempts to modify an element within a sentence, but is not near the element.
C.
It is placed between two elements and could modify either element.
D.
It attempts to modify something or someone unknown to the reader.
its D.it attempts to modify something or someone unknown to the reader
Answer:
D. It attempts to modify something or someone unknown to the reader.
Explanation:
Modifiers are used to alter or change the meaning of sentences. Adjectives and adverbs can serve as modifiers. Dangling modifiers, however, are unclear as to what they truly modify. In the sentence below;
The girls left immediately.
"Immediately" is an adverb that modifies the verb, "left".
Dangling modifiers do not have the object being modified present. If we only said,
"Immediately"
a person might be confused about what we are saying. This is a dangling modifier. But if we said,
"Immediately, the girls left".
The meaning is better comprehended.

Answer: We’ll I’m a year late but uh here we go.
I woke up not remembering anything, the sound of water dripping onto what seemed like stone was just one hint of where I was… a cave. As soon as I got up I knew I had to stay there. I can’t remember how long I’ve been down here but I’m safe, as safe as I’m going to get. The second thing I noticed about this place was the smell. It smelled so strongly of red clay that you would think it would be so hot that it’d burn the skin off your body. However, it’s actually just bone dry. The only time I’ve seen water in this place was from the puddle. As much as I wanted to escape this cave, the lack of water and food was keeping me from hard work. I slowly got up and looked around the cave, a small rigid hold in the ceiling provided little light, but it sufficed. I was so hungry, and there was only a single beetle that I caught. It was such a bitter taste and felt like saw dust on my tongue, but I ate it all. The following night, as I slept, another beetle crawled onto my forearm and a strange feeling overwhelmed me, causing me to wake up, and I saw a pair of red eyes looking down on me. I instantly began to shriek, banging my own fist into the wall in terror. I was in such a state that I don’t even remember doing it, but I guess my mind created the fear.“This one might be fun.” The voice said. The red eyes were far away now, a single silhouette but it was unmistakable. “Are you sure this one’s dead?” The figure approached, the darkness of the cave making it difficult to see. “Don’t worry…” the voice said. “You’ll find out soon enough.” With those last words, the figure faded into a single light for a brief moment, and disappeared into the distance, before the source of the light reappeared and finally I saw the body of a corpse… possibly a man. I… can’t figure out what’s going on.

If automation and technology have increased and evolved exponentially, what does this mean for the job market?
Answer:
Since automation and technology have increased and evolved exponentially, this means that more and more jobs are lost. This is so because the machines that perform automated tasks replace workers who performed these tasks manually and by hand. Thus, automation entails a collateral increase in unemployment rates. For this reason, posted workers must necessarily adapt to new market demands, acquiring new knowledge to acquire new jobs.
i need a essay about less gun control and the second amendment
Answer:
Why should there be less gun control? Well, statistically speaking, states with less gun control have a lower gun voilence rate. Two of the state with the highest amount of gun voilence are California and New York, which have some of the strictest gun policies in the United States. States like Arizona and Texas however, two of the least strict gun control states have some of the lowest numbers in the US. The reason for this being, making something illegal for citizens to own serves almost no purpose because criminals will end up getting their guns illegally. All it does is take away a citizen's defense against criminals who ignore the gun control laws. Another example of this is Mexico. Mexico is almost tied with New York and California in gun related deaths per 100,000 people and they too, have outlawed guns. This is why we must respect the second amendment and allow citizens the ability to protect themselves against non-law obeying criminals.

Answer:
complex
Explanation:
Can someone simplify this paragraph?
On the morning of December 7, 1941 military forces of the Empire of Japan attacked the United States Naval Fleet and ground bases at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. On December 8, 1941, one day after the “Day of Infamy,” the United States declared war against the Empire of Japan and on December 11, 1941 Japan’s ally, Germany, declared war on the United States. Sixteen million Americans, mostly young working age men, would serve in the military during WWII, out of an overall United States population of 113 million. While an unprecedented number of young men would serve in World War II, the country would drastically increase its war production on the Home Front, serving not only the needs of the armed forces of the United States but her allies as well - what President Franklin Roosevelt called “The Arsenal of Democracy.” The combination of so many serving in the military, during a period of necessary and drastic increases in production, led to unprecedented social changes on the American Home Front.
What & When: In 1941, Japan conducted a surprise attack on the U.S. navy base Pearl Harbor killing over 2,000 soldiers.
Cause: Tensions between the U.S. and Japan had been building for years.
Effect: The U.S. entered into WII the next day and defeated the Japanese at Midway.
Significance: Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to enter WWII, which would contribute to the downfall of Nazi Germany and other Axis Powers.
In the second sentence of the first paragraph, the author uses the phrases “brightest blazes,” “kindled,” and “unexpected sparks” in order to
A. emphasize the element of spontaneity in pleasure
B. argue that pleasure is short-lived
C. highlight the dangerous nature of excessive pleasure
D. assert that pleasure is intellectually enlightening
E. characterize pleasure as an extremely rare experience
Answer:
A. emphasize the element of spontaneity in pleasure
Explanation:
Answer A
Correct. The sentence containing “brightest blazes,” “kindled,” and “unexpected sparks” illustrates the first sentence of the paragraph, which reads, “Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought.” By developing a metaphor that compares pleasure to a fire that starts unexpectedly, the author emphasizes the spontaneous (occurring naturally without any apparent external cause or influence) nature of pleasure.
Answer: a. emphasize the element of spontaneity

Why does the banker feel that he will be ruined after the bet
This question refers to Anton Chekhov's short story "The Bet".
Answer:
The banker feels that he will be ruined after the bet because he is no longer rich. By losing the bet, he will have to pay the lawyer 2 million.
Explanation:
In "The Bet" a lawyer and a rich banker make a bet. The lawyer will try and spend 15 years living in a solitary. His point is to prove that life in prison is better than being punished with death. He thinks that living in miserable conditions is better than not living at all. The banker, who thinks death is more merciful, is willing to pay the lawyer 2 million if he really can spend all those years living like that.
However, in that time, both men end up changing a lot. The banker is not as rich as he used to be. He fears losing the bet and having to pay the lawyer, since giving away two million would ruin him. He decides to kill the lawyer but, upon entering his room, he finds only a letter. The lawyer has left. After 15 years reading, studying, and learning, he realizes there is more to life. He now despises little men who can only value material things, such as money.
