Answer:
The youngest girl in the clan was sacrificed to insure a good crop.
Explanation:
The New Yam Festival (The Feast of the New Yam) is a celebration showing how important yam is in the social-cultural life of Igbo people. It symbolizes the conclusion of a harvest and the beginning of the next work cycle. It's held every year at the end of the rainy season in early August.
The evening before the day of the festival, all old yams of the previous year are consumed or discarded. As the festival is an occasion for giving thanks to Ani, the Earth goddess, who is considered to be the source of fertility, the arbiter of morality, and in close contact with dead ancestors of the clan, new yams are offered to her. All cooking and serving utensils are washed.
The only thing that doesn't take place during this festival is the sacrifice of the youngest girl in the clan.

which is true about using mostly short, simple sentences in your writing?
(A) it makes your writing seem more advanced.
(B) it makes your writing seem more elementary.
(C) it makes your writing seem more complex
Answer:
I believe the answer is B
Explanation:
You should use sentences that are expressive and use advanced vocabulary words to make your writing seem more advanced.
It makes your writing seem more elementary is true about using mostly short, simple sentences in your writing. Hence, option B is correct.
What is simple sentences?A basic sentence typically consists of a subject, a verb, and maybe an object and modifiers. It only has one independent clause, though.
A simple sentence consists of just three components: a subject, a verb, and a finished notion. Simple sentence examples include the following: While Joe awaited the train. A late train arrived.
A simple sentence presents a complete notion as an independent clause and includes a subject a person, thing, or activity and a predicate a verb or verbal phrase that defines the action. Dependent or subordinate clauses are not allowed in simple sentences.
Thus, option B is correct.

At the end of "Unusual Normality," Ishmael Beah wishes his peers could realize how lucky they are to have their families and a world free of violence. What is something in your own life that you take for granted? How could you express more appreciation? Do you think it's important to express appreciation for what we have? Why or why not?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Something that is natural in my life is the support of my family and the supply of my greatest needs such as food, water, energy, education, freedom, among others. These elements are natural for me because I cannot imagine myself without them, since they are extremely important for my well being and survival.
2. I could express my gratitude more by not complaining about small and superfluous things, thanking those who promote these elements for me and helping people who are deprived of it, to reach that fullness as well.
3. I believe it is important to express gratitude for what we have, because we are privileged to have them and because someone promotes them for us and that person deserves to be thanked. Furthermore, privilege is something we should not only be grateful for, but also recognize and celebrate it, because without it we would have a very bad life.

There has been much debate in our community lately about the
starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that
the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their
kids off to elementary school.
Which of these is the author's claim?
A. There has been much debate in our community lately,
B. This is due to early morning doctor appointments.
C. High school needs to have a later starting time.
D. 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end
of first period
Answer:
C
Explanation:
I may be wrong though.
Answer:
C. High school needs to have a later starting time.
Explanation:
In the given passage, the author claims that high school needs to have a later starting time. They also provide arguments that support this claim - 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of the first period, and most of them do it because they are sleeping in. School simply starts too early for them, and if it started later, they would arrive on time and probably perform better. That is not explicitly stated, but implied.
The rest of the options are not the claim, but the facts the author is providing. This is why option C is the correct one.

Read the excerpt from The Land. "Robert's white and you're a boy of color. I can't educate you in the same school – you know that. I can't educate you in the same way either. I need to look out for what I think is best for each of you. Later, when you become of age and maybe want to do something different, that's up to you. Right now, though, we'll do things my way. Come the fall, Robert will go to Savannah to school, and you'll go to Macon to study. That's just the way it's got to be. I figure that's what's best for both of you."
How does this excerpt develop the theme that inequality is destructive?
by comparing Robert’s future to Paul’s
by summarizing Mister Edward’s feelings
by developing Robert’s character
by providing details of the historical setting
Answer: by comparing Robert’s future to Paul’s
Explanation: Because they are different colors in this time period. His dad are going to send them to different schools, which will result both of them a different future. His dad also talks about how things will be, Robert will go to Savannah to school, and Micheal will go to Macon to study. So his dad is comparing their futures because they’re are going to different schools. It’s 100% correct, I just took the quiz.

Explanation:
Imagine you are the Thanksgiving turkey. It is your good fortune to discover that the Farmer accidentally left the door to the house ajar. You sneak in unnoticed. Quickly, you find the computer and log in to Twitter.
You have just enough time to type five tweets. What will you say to your followers in no more than 280 characters (not words!) per tweet?
Answer:
1. Hello, humanity! My time here is short so I will speak briefly and very directly.
2. Have you ever thought about what it is like to be a turkey at Christmas? or better yet, where do you get the meat that you consume all year?
3. This meat comes from a live animal, which did not wish to die, to be killed to promote the survival of another being. Like everyone else, animals want to live.
4. Animals feel fear, pain, despair and sadness and we enter a state of complete terror when we are habituated so that you can eat our meats.
5. So I ask you to put yourself in our places and reflect on the value of our lives. Sincerely: The turkey.
Explanation:
As you may already know, twitter is a social network that does not allow large texts and everything has to be written in a direct and short form. For this reason, the Christmas turkey quickly decided to address the animals' feelings about being slaughtered so that humans can eat their meat. Peru wanted to make people reflect on how animals deserve respect and feeding on them is not respectful and can be considered cruelty if humans put themselves in their shoes.
