Explanation:
1. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
2. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
3. It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
4. And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
5. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
6. Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
7. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.
8. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

3. How do paragraph 5-6 contribute to the develop of ideas in
the text?
O A They reveal how Jewish people caused many of the
economic problems in Germany.
B They show how Jewish people became the target of
hatred during World War II.
OC They emphasize how Germany was able to invade and
take over other countries.
D They stress show Jewish people had to escape Germany
during this time.
Answer:
B. They show how Jewish people became the target of hatred during World War II.
Explanation:
The both paragraphs (i.e paragraph 5 and 6) reveal how the Jewish were hated, maltreated and even shunned. They were blamed for the problems of the society. As a result of that, they became the target of hatred during World War II. Hitler resolved to annihilate the Jews. The Nazis built more concentration camps were they captured and imprisoned the Jews and left them there to starve to death or be killed.
Option B is the correct answer.
A major change in the way we shop brought out by the internet has to do with _________________. In the old days, to learn about a product, you needed to go to different stores and ask a sales professional to help you.
Answer:
A major change in the way we shop brought out by the internet has to do with research. In the old days, to learn about a product, you needed to go to different stores and ask a sales professional to help you.
Explanation:
Purchases through the internet allow us to do our own research on the products ourselves and choose based on the information we obtain ourselves, generally this information is obtained through the opinion of other buyers about the product. This is very different from the research we do in physical stores, where the research was done through the advice of salespeople, which was often not sincere.
2.06 focus on the introduction: write a introduction with a good hook on why automobiles are so important for transportation
Answer: Imagine being able to sleep and drive at the same time! While that may seem like a ridiculous concept, it may soon be a
reality. In fact, Google Inc. has been working on the prototypes for self-driving cars since 2009, and hopes to have the vehicles
available to the public in the near future. The cars have no need for gas pedals or steering wheels, because they operate
independently of a driver, using laser sensors and cameras for guidance. While this may seem unsafe, there is evidence to support
that the cars are more secure than the vehicles we have today. In fact, Google’s self-driving cars will not only improve safety on the
road, but they will also reduce traffic.
BODY I
There are many benefits that these autonomous vehicles have to offer. Most importantly, however, they will make roads safer
for drivers. There are people, for example, who make the unfortunate decision to drive drunk and endanger the lives of others.
Furthermore, individuals will often drive while fatigued, which can impair judgment, and lead to a car accident. Self-driving cars could
potentially change all of that. In fact, “According to one government study, computer operated self-driving vehicles will eliminate
incidents involving alcohol…[and] fatigue” (Jaconi). Perhaps most importantly, the self-driving car is likely to save lives. For instance,
according to a study by the Eno Center for Transportation, “if 90 percent of cars, trucks and vans were self-driving, in the region of
21,700 lives per year could be saved” (Jaconi). All of that being said, Google’s cars can make a significant and positive difference in
the way that society functions.
BODY II
In addition to improving safety, Google’s self-driving cars will also reduce traffic. Most people have experienced the
inconvenience of being stuck behind a mass of cars on the road. Not only can sitting on the road waste resources like time and gas,
but it can also lead to frustration or road rage. Therefore, minimizing the negative impact of traffic could significantly improve the way
that Americans travel and live. Google’s CEO Sergey Brin has explained that the vehicles could “potentially…operate as a fleet of
interconnected cars” (Oreskovic), which would improve their efficiency and eliminate stop-and-go traffic. Not only would this make
commuting more convenient, but it could also help to save money spent on gas. In a study done by the Eno Center for Transportation,
it was “noted that when a majority of self-driving cars are on the road, they can begin "platooning"’ (Jaconi). In other words, because
the cars would be able to communicate with one another, they could drive more closely together, like a train. As a result, “the negative
effects of stop-and-go traffic could be eliminated” (Jaconi). Additionally, it has been noted that this platooning, “would allow for
smoother traffic flows, reduce lengthy commute times and even increase highway capacity” (Jaconi), and increasing highway capacity
would also save the government money, which may help free up funds for other important social needs, such as education.
Considering the benefits that traffic reduction might have on both individual drivers, and the society at large, it’s clear that the self

Hello. The question is incomplete. The full question is:
(2) Considered remnants of our parents’ and grandparents’ younger years, vinyl records are often thought to be old-fashioned compared to digital music. (3) However, vinyl is making a comeback for many good reasons. (4) Teens should have been giving this earlier form of music recording a chance and experience vinyl records for themselves.
18-15: What change needs to be made in sentence 4?
Answer:
Change earlier to earliest
Explanation:
In sentence 4, if the word "early" needs to be changed to the word "earliest." This will make the sentence grammatically correct, in addition to allowing greater consistency and fluidity of text.
In addition, the word "earliest" means something that was done "much earlier" than another element, being the most appropriate word for the type of message that the text proposes to convey.
Your brother whose is in the third year who is in another school has written to confidence in you that he is about to stop schooling and go into business.Write a letter to him advising him against his decision
Answer and Explanation:
Dear brother,
I'm happy you chose to tell me about this decision. You know I try to interfere as little as possible in your life, but this time I will have to make an exception. I hope you will forgive me in case I say things you don't really want to hear. But I also hope you'll understand I'm doing this because I care about you.
This is one of those rare times when we do not agree with each other. Brother, I do not see how this is going to work out well for you. I'm sorry if I'm appealing to a sunk-cost fallacy here, but you have already invested so much time and money in your education! I cannot see how throwing it all away will do you any good.
You could say that the business will make up for that money, but we need to be realistic here. There is a possibility of failing in anything in life, but even more when we speak of businesses. If, for some reason, you fail, you will be left without your education, your money, and your business.
In my opinion, stay on the traditional route. Finish school first, then open your business. You'll be more prepared. You may even get a degree that will make you more knowledgeable in the area! Do not rush to make a dream come true, brother. If you are patient, if you plan carefully, if you invest in yourself first, your chances of success will increase drastically.

A community magazine for teenagers is featuring an issue on relationships. Write an article for the magazine arguing whether social media has a positive or negative impact on friendships. Your essay must be based on ideas and information that can be found in the “Social Media’s Impact” passage set.
Answer:
Teenagers are nowadays communicating with their friends through social media and we cannot blame them, we all are. However, it is important to understand the positive and negative impact that social media has on teenager's friendships.
First of all, social media is great for them to keep in touch with friends they do not see very often, it allows them to interact in different platforms, which means they can share interests in common through social media. The pandemic made everything very difficult for teenagers, so being able to keep in touch and feel closer to their friends through social media was actually good. However, interacting through social media so much and not having proper talks can make teenagers feel anxious when talking to each other in person. Social media should not replace face to face interaction.
To sum up, it is very important that teenagers interact with their friends online but it is important to also interact outside the Internet, there is a significant difference between having a conversation with a friend online or in person.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to write an article for a magazine about the impact of social media on teenage friendships. It's important to understand that social media isn't the enemy. However, online interactions shouldn't be the only interactions a teenage has with their friends.

Answer:
Patron saint of frugality, celebrator, preacher.
Explanation:
The author gives Thoreau the titles: patron saint of frugality, celebrator and preacher, stating that he was very fond of these versions of Thoreau. However, as he continues to read, we can see that the author shows that over time he started to prefer the stricter Thoreau, because this version showed not only how Thoreau liked nature, but also showed how he assumed his responsibility for it. The author states that the stricter Thoreau had the ability to limit his imput and redefine his output in the name of that responsibility.

Atomic Structure and Forces Activity
Introduction
The periodic table provides a wealth of knowledge about every known element. From the table, you can learn about an element’s physical and chemical properties, such as its available valence electrons or reactivity with other elements. Using terminology and information from the lesson, you will conduct an “interview” with an element and publish what you discover about its properties and bonding capabilities.
Procedures:
Choose an element from the periodic table to interview.
Conduct research on your element. Use the following as a guide for the kind of information you need to learn about your element to successfully complete the assignment.
Atomic number
Atomic mass
Symbol
Number of subatomic particles
Its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties based on that position
Typical compounds formed by your element
The history of your element's discovery
Five uses for your element or its common compounds
Where your element or its compounds can be found in the real world
At least one photo or drawing of your element
Arrange the information into a coherent interview that consists of an introduction followed by alternating questions (to the element) and answers (from the element).
Use a magazine layout or similar format to present the interview. You may choose to complete the layout of the project with art supplies or using a computer or online resource.
Be sure the work is your own and you include citations for each of the resources included.
Conclude with a summary paragraph that answers your reflection questions.
(Use the student sample as a guide on format only. It does not include the full content required for the activity.)
Reflection Questions
Summarize the physical and chemical properties of the element you selected.
In the lesson, many models were used to depict the atom. How did these models help you understand atomic structure?

How did Eliot create a whimsical, light-hearted, funny attitude? Write in complete sentences and cite 2 pieces of evidence.
(At least 5 sentences)
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read the poem "Macavity the Mystery Cat", by T. S. Eliot
How did Eliot create a whimsical, light-hearted, funny attitude? Write in complete sentences and cite 2 pieces of evidence.
(At least 5 sentences)
Answer:
Eliot uses literary devices such as assonance, repetition, alliteration, imagery, and personification to create a whimsical tone.
Explanation:
Assonance, Alliteration, and Repetition provide a musical tone throughout the poem.
Assonance is the repetition of a vowel. For example "Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law."
Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant. For example "And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's."
Repetition is the use of the same word several times. For example "Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity."
However, the most fun element is probably personification. The cat is portrayed as a criminal mastermind capable of doing things that should be impossible for a cat, such as stifling Pekes, espionage, and many crimes.

Which is not a reason why a story can have more than one theme? We all have different vocabulary We have different opinions Meaningful works have more than one idea Because two themes are better than one
Answer:
Because two themes are better than one
Explanation:
In a story, the theme is the specific topic that the author wants to provoke reflection and address a strong and relevant concept not only for the story, but for society, or for something that is particularly interesting for the reader. It is common for stories to have more than one theme, but this is not because two themes are better than one, but because, readers and authors have different vocabularies and more the themes may have different meanings for each person, in addition , opinions among readers are also different, which can cause the extension of these themes and the discussion of them. Another important point is that significant works address many different issues and each issue is linked to a theme.
