Scientists report (1) that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death. Millions of undiscovered species live, in the deep sea. Creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages. Which may be a result of rising sea temperatures. Scientists believe that some species will die out, those that can survive on a low food supply will continue living. Not much is known about the creatures that live in the deep sea, not much is known about the changes in their diets. Scientists estimate that up to 10 million species live in the depths of the sea. Most animals of the deep rely on food chains that begin. In the lighted realms of the sea. Microscopic plants called phytoplankton. Capture the sun and start the food cycle.

it might be a noun clause cause the subject is missing

Answer 9

Answer 15

Answer 17

No

Answer 18

Scientists report that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death.


does that sound grammatically correct?

Answer 19

yes it dose. I have to do 5 sentences basically a paragraph can you help me ?

Answer 20

That sentence above is one sentence now i need 4 more lol

Answer 21

Millions of undiscovered species live, in the deep sea.

that sentence is using a comma incorrectly

Answer 22

so it should be

Millions of undiscovered species live in the deep sea.

Answer 23

you can combine this with "Creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages. " to get


Millions of undiscovered species live in the deep sea and creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages.

Answer 24

Is that 5 ?

Answer 25

the next part is a dependent clause, so it needs to be tacked onto the prev sentence


Millions of undiscovered species live in the deep sea and creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages, which may be a result of rising sea temperatures.

Answer 26

that's sentence #2

Answer 27

Ohh okay i see that. Lol now i need 2 more

Answer 28

Thank you for helping me.

Answer 29

Scientists believe that some species will die out, those that can survive on a low food supply will continue living.

can be rewritten into

Scientists believe that some species will die out, and those that can survive on a low food supply will continue living.


similarly,

Not much is known about the creatures that live in the deep sea, not much is known about the changes in their diets.

can be written as

Not much is known about the creatures that live in the deep sea, and not much is known about the changes in their diets.

Answer 35

"I don’t know anything," he said, "except that I’m beginning to be sorry we bought that room for the children. If children are neurotic at all, a room like that—"

"It’s supposed to help them work off their neuroses in a healthful way."

"I’m starting to wonder." He stared at the ceiling.

"We’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward—secrecy, disobedience?"

"Who was it who said, ‘Children are carpets, they should be stepped on occasionally’? We’ve never lifted a hand. They’re insufferable—let’s admit it. They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were offspring. They’re spoiled and we’re spoiled."

"They’ve been acting funny ever since you forbade them to take the rocket to New York a few months ago."

"They’re not old enough to do that alone, I explained."

"Nevertheless, I’ve noticed they’ve been decidedly cool toward us since."

"I think I’ll have Dave McClean come tomorrow morning to have a look at Africa."

"But it’s not Africa now, it’s Green Mansions country and Rima."

"I have a feeling it’ll be Africa again before then."

A moment later they heard the screams.

Two screams.Two people screaming from downstairs.And then a roar of lions.

"Wendy and Peter aren’t in their rooms," said his wife.

He lay in his bed with his beating heart. "No," he said. "They’ve broken into the nursery."

"Those screams—they sound familiar."

"Do they?"

"Yes, awfully."

"And although their beds tried very hard, the two adults couldn’t be rocked to sleep for another hour. A smell of cats was in the night air." This passage implies that the story is set


in the future.
in the present.
in the past.
it does not indicate time.

Answer 36

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 37

one sec

Answer 38

Ok .

Answer 39

hmm very strange passage...doesn't make any sense really

Answer 40

well it's using past tense (he said, she said, etc etc)

Answer 41

so it might be the past, but i have no clue

Answer 42

I know im confused with the answer.

Answer 43

same here, the whole thing is confusing and random

Answer 44

Man, What could be my sister.

Answer 45

what do you mean

Answer 46

What could be my answer . LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i was talking to my sister and accidently typed it.

Answer 47

lol that makes more sense now

Answer 48

i'm guessing past, but it's just a guess really

Answer 49

based on the whole "he said, she said, they said, etc"

Answer 50

So you say in the past ?

Answer 51

yeah that's what I'm thinking

Answer 52

The first half of the passage implies that the Hadley family is


close and open with each other.
destitute.
wealthy
trusting

Answer 53

they sound wealthy because they have their own room, they considered them spoiled, they took "the rocket to New York a few months ago."(and they apparently have lions?)

Answer 54

the kids have their own secret room I meant

Answer 55

From the context of the passage, you can conclude that the society in which the family lives sees children as being


neurotic.
in need of discipline.
innocent.
naturally obedient.

Answer 56

and it says they "bought that room for the children"

so you can't do that if you are poor

Answer 57

Either A or B, but most people would probably go with B since these sound like awful parents

Answer 58

The parents’ attitude toward their children in this passage might be best characterized as


fond.
angry.
proud.
wary.

Answer 59

which one do you think it is

Answer 60

I'm not sure.

Answer 61

were they proud of their kids?

Answer 62

not really

Answer 63

how about fond?

Answer 64

yes i think fond or wary.

Answer 65

I'm thinking either wary or angry

Answer 66

I don't think they were fond

Answer 67

.I would say wary well no man idk what do you think?

Answer 68

probably wary because they're cautious of their kids, like how to raise and treat them

but they consider their kids spoiled, so that's why I considered "angry"

Answer 69

So lets go with one answer. Which one do we think is strongest.

Answer 70

hmm I'll go with wary

Answer 71

I was thinking the same thing.

Answer 72

Based on your knowledge of the story, you would best understand line 24, "He lay in his bed with his beating heart." to be an example of


satire.
in medias res.
metaphor.
foreshadowing.

Answer 73

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 74

hmm not sure, let me re-read

Answer 75

Okay i'm doing the same.

Answer 76

probably foreshadowing because it's signalling that he may be on his death bed? no clue though

Answer 77

I don't even know the answer at all so i can't even put my two sence. This is hard -_-

Answer 78

yeah it's tough, sure i suck at english most of the time, but even I'm having a hard time lol

Answer 79

Haha i see. Do you think it's foreshadowing.

Answer 80

Or no? i want to be 100% or adleast get it right.

Answer 81

well I'm not 100%, so not completely sure

but that sounds right

Answer 82

I guess ill put that,

Answer 83

like maybe something bad (health wise) will happen to him because of all the stress

so lying with his beating heart suggests he might die of a heart attack

Answer 84

so that would be foreshadowing

Answer 85

just a guess though

Answer 86

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 87

you there ?

Answer 88

This is the last one lol.

Answer 89

ok, problem is that I don't have access to those stories

Answer 90

so idk how to answer this last one

Answer 91

This is last question





Respond in a paragraph. Answer is written in complete sentences.


Choose one of the three essay topics below.

“Experiencing” - Carefully reread the passage from "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, and write an essay explaining what advice you would give George and Lydia Hadley on how to become better parents.

Which author do you think uses dialogue more effectively?
