In recent elections, turnout has ranged from about 50% to 60% of the voting-age population.
But there is a simple change the US could make to boost turnout dramatically, something that has worked in at least 26 other democracies.
The government could make Americans vote.
President Barack Obama has endorsed the idea, and yet it has never taken hold in the US, for a variety of reasons. But many experts think it's a good idea. . . .
In the US, compulsory voting has started to enter the mainstream conversation. In May of last year, Obama publicly endorsed compulsory voting for the first time, telling a crowd in Cleveland that "it would be transformative if everybody voted" specifically because of the class-bias effect.
–“Half of Americans Probably Won’t Vote – But Requiring Them to Would Change That,” Chris Weller
Write a short paragraph that expresses an idea from the passage. Use paraphrase and direct quotation to give credit to the source.
Answers
Answer:
Many countries practice required voting. Writer Chris Weller shows that some experts, including former US president Barack Obama, think that the United States could benefit by requiring voting. President Obama said, "It would be transformative if everybody voted."

Therefore, the only environmentally safe mode of transportation is walking or biking. Topic: blank. Position: Walking or biking is better than driving hybrid cars. Support: Hybrid cars cause pollution when they are being manufactured.
Which phrase best fills in the blank in this graphic organizer to describe the topic of the claim?
Manufacturing of hybrid cars
Protecting the environment
Walking as a forms of transportation
Environmentally safe transportation
Answers
Answer: Environmentally safe transportation.

*Why are the other answers most likely incorrect?
•Manufacturing of hybrid cars was stated in the claim but it is not the main point of the claim. Biking and walking was also stated in the claim as well.
•Protecting the environment is of course the whole point of trying to find the most environmentally safe modes of transportation but the persons claim overall is mostly focused on environmentally safe transportation.
•Walking as a forms of transportation was also stated but hybrid cars and biking was stated in the claim as well and it is not the main point of the claim.

A) to change the subject
B) to pause or omit information
C) to end a thought
D) to correct or delete information
Answers
An ellipsis is used to pause or omit information. The correct option is b.
What is an ellipsis?The ellipsis is a series of dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. The plural is ellipses. The term originates from Ancient Greek. Opinions differ as to how to render ellipses in printed material.
According to The Chicago Manual of Style, it should consist of three periods, each separated from its neigneighboura non-breaking space. According to the AP Stylebook, the periods should be rendered with no space between them. The ellipsis is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, or periods of ellipsis. Depending on their context and placement in a sentence, ellipses can indicate an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, an echoing voice, or a nervous or awkward silence.
Aposiopesis is the use of an ellipsis to trail off into silence.

Though, this cannot be the answer, because while it is talking about electricity, it's talking more about the transportation
Option B cannot be it either, it's just stating a fact that Austria is a country in Europe, this has nothing to do with electricity itself
Option C says clearly on how they ship power to Europe, and even explains the process, which is why I think it's C
Option D is just a metaphor, but it's nothing to do with the actual main idea

Submit your three or four-paragraph open letter about a current issue in your school or community that expresses your position on the topic and provides two claims and four pleces of supporting evidence (key facts, examples, detalls). Make it clear who you are addressing in the letter and what you hope to accomplish.
Answers
Answer: this is gonna be a long one lol
Explanation:
There are lots of issues in our community and in our schools, but one problem that seems to be in both is the fight for equality. We all want to be heard and understood but for some, it might be harder than others. This isn't just for one specific group it is for many and all.
Everyday, when you look at your phone or even just outside at the people what do you notice? They all look different, maybe the same in some ways but different in most. But physical features are just the beginning because underneath we all are unique and special. Some people embrace their uniqueness, but a lot hide it away in fear of unacceptance. For example, the fight for equal rights in black citizens, even though they say that fight ended a long time ago we can't ignore the fact that they are still looked at differently. Why? Who knows, and no, not everyone is like this but that doesn't make it easier for them. Another example, over 28.9% of black citizens are living below the poverty threshold as opposed to 18% white americans. Isn't that crazy? This is evidence that supports the thought about black citizens not having equal rights.
I hope that this has opened your mind to this issue. I want equality for all and a place where no matter what your skin looks like, where you were raised and even what happened long long ago in the early stages of this nation, you can live happily and to the fullest. We as a community can do our part and make this community a free, accepting, and fair place for us all to live.
Here is an example of an open letter:
To the Principal and the School Board,
I am writing to express my concern about the recent decision to cancel the annual school trip due to budget cuts. I believe that this decision is unfair and detrimental to the students’ learning and well-being. I urge you to reconsider this decision and find alternative ways to fund the trip.
The school trip is a valuable opportunity for students to explore new places, learn new things, and bond with their classmates and teachers. It is also a reward for their hard work and achievements throughout the year. The trip helps students develop important skills such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It also exposes them to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences that enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world.
By canceling the trip, you are depriving the students of these benefits and sending a message that their education and happiness are not a priority. You are also breaking a tradition that has been cherished by many generations of students and teachers. The trip is something that the students look forward to and prepare for all year long. It is a source of motivation and excitement for them.
I understand that the school is facing financial challenges and that you have to make difficult decisions. However, I think that there are other ways to save money without sacrificing the quality of education and the well-being of the students. For example, you could reduce unnecessary expenses such as printing costs, office supplies, or catering services. You could also seek donations or sponsorships from local businesses or organizations that support education. You could also organize fundraising events or activities that involve the students, parents, and teachers.
I hope that you will take my letter into consideration and reconsider your decision to cancel the school trip. I believe that the trip is a worthwhile investment that will benefit the students in many ways. I also believe that the school community can work together to find solutions to overcome the financial challenges. Please do not let the budget cuts ruin this valuable opportunity for the students.
Sincerely,
A concerned student
Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Many people find them cute, and tourists have made a habit of offering the coatis food. Coatis realize that it is easier to seek out tourists than to search the forest for bugs. Like humans, they prefer junk food to what they should be eating. For their part, tourists do little to discourage the animals. After all, a coati drinking soda makes for a great vacation photo. Scientists, however, say that coatis and humans do best when they stay away from each other.

Describe the object, making it sound as interesting, beautiful, or useful as possible Be creative Use exaggerated language to make the object sound exciting. my title is "harry potter gum"
Answers
Answer:
(Answer in explanation)
Explanation:
While some may look at this Harry Potter branded gum and think that it has few uses, the true potential for this gum show just how many uses it has. While most people might chew gum to freshen their breath, the gum can be chewed to help combat feelings of hunger and boredom, which are things that plague many. After chewing gum such as this, many people would opt to throw it out, but I say that you can still use your chewed Harry Potter gum! While people might find already chewed gum to be without use, you can use it to help keep things stuck to your walls! That is to say that it can be used as an adhesive to put posters up, which makes it cost effective and much more useful than the pushpins that you might use instead. So rather than waste your money on those bland and boring alternatives, spend less to get much more from this Harry Potter gum!
