David couldn’t wait to get off work, for he had an exciting weekend planned. He and his seven-year-old son, Landon, were going on a camping trip. As David drove toward the Greenville suburb where Landon lived with his mother, the guilt gnawed at him. He hated that since the divorce nearly a year ago he had not spent the quality time with Landon that he now wished he had. The two-hour drive to Landon’s new home only complicated the wish for more frequent visits. David decided he was not going to dwell on the past but instead look to the future. This weekend camping trip was just what they needed.

2 When David arrived, Landon met him at the door, grinning like someone who’d just won the lottery. An hour later they were setting up camp. Before long, they headed to the creek bank with fishing poles in hand. As they each sat on a five-gallon bucket, few words were spoken, but David knew that old wounds were healing. As Landon reeled in a tiny bream, he looked over at his dad and said, "You know what, Dad? This is the most fun I’ve ever had." Even though his throat was tightening in an effort to hold back tears, David managed to say, "Me too, Son. Me, too."

From which point of view is the story told?

A) Landon’s

B) a friend of David's

C) a third-person narrator's

D) Landon’s mom’s

Answer:

PLEASE I AM TIMED Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective."

Diane made a rubber silicone mold of the impression. Then, she made a sturdy wax cast of the mold and sent it to a metalworks company. The foundry workers coated the wax mold with plaster and put it in an industrial oven. The wax melted off, leaving a plaster shell. The workers poured melted bronze into the shell, and the metal cooled and hardened into a bronze tiger tongue.

Diane’s casts of the tongue and paw allowed zoo visitors to share her amazing experience. People felt the roughness of the big cat’s tongue and spread a hand inside the palm of its giant paw. This, she decided, was one of the coolest things I have ever done. She savored the moment, knowing that far graver matters were always just a phone call away.

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

PLEASE HELP
An elephant lumbers across African grassland as
dust rises up from each of her steps. She finds a
giant tree and works to pierce its thick bark with
her tusks. She is prying and poking to get at
the water the tree often stores inside. This is no
ordinary tree but a baobab, a tree that looms large
in size and importance for both the animals and
people of Africa.
2 The baobab’s astonishing appearance alone proves
it is special. It can grow up to 60 feet high and
30 feet wide, soaring above most other life in the
dry savannah. The baobab has a wide barrel-like
trunk topped with shorter, twisted branches. It
only grows leaves for two short periods, giving the
branches the appearance of gnarled roots for most
of the year. In fact, some African legends say that
a god, angry at the baobab, decided to uproot and
replant it upside down.
3 This remarkable tree survives dry conditions and
is found in many regions of Africa. Its roots spread
out up to a hundred feet away to gather needed
water. The adaptable sponge-like bark contracts in
dry months and expands in wet ones. Baobab trees
serve as a source of water, food, and a safe home
for a variety of animals. In particular, the whitebacked vulture, with a wingspan of about seven
feet, nests high in the baobab’s branches. The great
bird only nests once a year, laying just one egg. The
tall, strong baobab provides the ideal site for several
months of safety for the mother and baby vulture.
4 For centuries, the baobab has also been
essential to the people in various parts of Africa,
many of whom call it the “Tree of Life.” The
baobab’s immense trunk is hollow, creating a
large circular chamber at the center. Baobab
chambers have been used as shelters, prisons,
and animal stables. The tree’s spinach-like
leaves can be eaten, and people use them for
both food and medicine. The fruit provides
a citrus-like refreshment. People strip off the
fibrous bark to make rope, cloth, roofing, and
paper. Unlike most other trees, the baobab can
endure this practice, regenerating its bark and
continuing to grow.
5 Perhaps this is one reason baobabs have such
incredible longevity. Some have even been
known to live for over 2,000 years! These
amazing survivors continue to provide valuable
resources across 32 countries in Africa.




What idea(s) from the passage do the
elephant’s actions in paragraph 1 help
support? Check all that apply.

A-The baobab absorbs water.
B-The baobab provides a safe place to stay.
C-The baobab gives life to animals.
d- The baobab trunk is used for shelter.
e- The baobab lives for thousands of years.

Read the excerpts from the two articles on sea otters.

Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

In the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,000–2,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.

How do the authors of the two articles address the same topic in these excerpts?

Article A highlights the quality of the sea otter's fur while Article B focuses on conservation efforts that have saved the sea otter in recent years.
Article A focuses on the characteristics of the sea otter's fur while Article B focuses on sea otter fur being one of the reasons the animal was hunted.
Article A includes historical facts about the significance of the sea otter's fur while Article B focuses on the different ways that the population has recovered.
Article A focuses on the sea otter's vanity over its fur while Article B focuses on human vanity to hunt and use sea otter fur for coats and clothing.

Excerpt from Dombey and Son
Charles Dickens

Dombey sat in the corner of the darkened room in the great arm-chair by the bedside, and Son lay tucked up warm in a little basket bedstead, carefully disposed on a low settee immediately in front of the fire and close to it, as if his constitution were analogous to that of a muffin, and it was essential to toast him brown while he was very new. Dombey was about eight-and-forty years of age. Son about eight-and-forty minutes. Dombey was rather bald, rather red, and though a handsome well-made man, too stern and pompous in appearance, to be prepossessing. Son was very bald, and very red, and though (of course) an undeniably fine infant, somewhat crushed and spotty in his general effect, as yet. On the brow of Dombey, Time and his brother Care had set some marks, as on a tree that was to come down in good time-remorseless twins they are for striding through their human forests, notching as they go-while the countenance of Son was crossed with a thousand little creases, which the same deceitful Time would take delight in smoothing out and wearing away with the flat part of his scythe, as a preparation of the surface for his deeper operations.
