"The Three Little Pigs" is about pigs in houses. They use different materials to make their homes. Later on, two of the pigs run into trouble.

"The Three Little Pigs" is a story about pigs who need homes. One of them builds a straw house. Straw is the cheapest material and is easiest to work with.

Answer 8

I'd have to say the first one. I don't think the last one works because the story isn't exactly about them trying to find the perfect home, and it doesn't mention anything about the wolf, which is a pretty big part of the story.

Answer 9

President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to Congress on December 8, 1941, urging the group to declare war on Japan for the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Below appears the draft version and the actual spoken first line of his speech. Read both carefully to answer the question that follows.


Draft: "Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in world history, the United States of America was simultaneously and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."

Final: "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy (disgrace due to a public and shameful event) -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."

Answer 20

The last one right?

Answer 21

Chronological order is when something goes in order according to time
Comparing and contrasting is pointing out how things are alike and how they're different
Order of importance would be talking about things that are more important first and then things that are less important last
Spatial organization is talking about things in an order that is related to the physical order of a thing, like geography topics

Answer 26

Which sentence best states the main idea of the following passage?

(from "A Dog of Flanders," by Louisa de la Ramée, Ouida)
It was a very humble mud-hut indeed, but it was clean and white as a sea-shell, and stood in a small plot of garden-ground that yielded beans and herbs and pumpkins. They were very poor, terribly poor – many a day they had nothing at all to eat. They never by any chance had enough: to have had enough to eat would have been to have reached paradise at once. But the old man was very gentle and good to the boy, and the boy was a beautiful, innocent, truthful, tender-hearted creature; and they were happy on a crust and a few leaves of cabbage, and asked no more of earth or heaven; save indeed that Patrasche should be always with them, since without Patrasche where would they have been?

It has been a long time since there has been anyone over to visit.

Patrasche brings the boy and the old man plenty of food each day.

Cabbage and crust are not enough food for a child to live off of.

The boy and the old man are very poor, but they are happy.

Answer 27

The last one correct?

Answer 28

I think the second one on that matching question should be D, since it's dealing with geography and the third one should be A, since it's dealing with history. I don't know on the last one, I don't have time to read it 'cause I gotta take a test :( good luck on your assignment!
