Parkour is thought by many to be an extreme sport—especially when people see parkour practitioners (known as traceurs) climbing walls and jumping off buildings. However, it might be better to characterize parkour as a radical art form involving both the body and mind. Although this art form can be extreme, it does not involve the teamwork, structure, or competitiveness of organized sports. In addition, traceurs can be difficult to recognize, as they do not wear matching uniforms to identify themselves. Parkour and its practitioners are in a category of their own.
The ultimate goal of parkour is for a person to mentally and physically prepare to overcome any obstacle he or she may face. Traceurs, who pit their bodies against various types of obstacles, often risk physical injury, and safety is an important concern. While practicing parkour, a traceur's route may take him or her over a large boulder, across several rooftops, or across the top of a wall. As dangerous as these acts may sound, most traceurs do attempt to learn the safest way to move, jump, and land. Parkour has become a popular art form in urban settings around the world due to the many obstacles located around the cityscape. This has led to concerns for traceurs' safety, as well as worries about traceurs trespassing on private property and attempting to jump from high buildings. As in most physical activities, safety for oneself and others should be paramount in the practice of parkour.
Which sentence best states the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.
Parkour is only dangerous when traceurs are not careful.
B.
Parkour does not have many practitioners around the world.
C.
Parkour is a reinvention of the classic form of extreme sports.
D.
Parkour does not have much in common with extreme sports.

Answers

Answer: C.

I hope this helps! :D

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Because the main idea in the first paragraph says, "Although this art form can be extreme, it does not involve the teamwork, structure, or competitiveness of organized sports." Therefore it's C.

Think about the major themes of The Call of the Wild, and about how you think the story might end. Write a paragraph in your journal proposing how the story could end, and how that ending connects to the important themes in the story. Make sure your conclusion can be supported by the story’s details so far.

Your response should be at least 150 words in length, and can be written as a summary or as an actual scene.

Answers

Answer:

Some big themes in The Call of the Wild are civilization vs the wild, follow your instincts, and the value of work.

     I think The Call of the Wild will end with Buck returning to his wolf side and becoming one with the wilderness. This goes along with civilization vs the wilderness because Buck really loves John Thornton but he finds a thrill in doing wild things like killing his own food and exploring. It also goes with following your instincts because Buck wants to go towards the wild call that he hears so often, and which when he does he can connect with his true self.

Explanation:

This is what I wrote

Hope it helps

Answer:

I think The Call of the Wild will end with Buck being friends with John Thornton the guy that stopped Hal from beating Buck to death(chapter 5). One day they both went hunting and they saw a pack of wild dogs. They wanted Buck to go with them to be in their pack because he looked like the strong type. Buck would love to go and be free but he could not leave John. John looked at him and saw he wanted to go because Buck was standing there looking at them. John said,  “I will always remember you, if you want to live your life free then that is what it will be…”. John let Buck go and for the rest of Buck’s life he lived a free and wonderful one with his pack, his family. This ending connects to the themes survival of the fittest and power because Buck looked strong and that is how he survived in this world of the wild. Like the survival of the fittest, whoever is the strongest will have the most power to survive the longest.

Orlando is a wonderful place to visit. It has so many attractions that tourists can go to. My first experience was really interesting. Orlando, Florida was really different from being in Freeport. It had so many shops and things to do together as a family and so much more. The places I visited whiles I was there were The Florida Mall, Gator Land, and The Holy Land Experience.

The first shop we went to in The Florida Mall was Bath and Body Works because we really like their products. The prices were reasonable. The store was having a summer sale. The sales clerk was very helpful and friendly.  She told me where to find the body sprays, lotions, and hand sanitizers. The sweet sugary fragrances blew through my nostrils like a whirlwind.  My family and I smelled the different sprays and lotions.  It was hard to pick through all the good body sprays and fragrance products. We bought a few lotions and body sprays.
