Den post dem o:
1 Austin reached into his backpack to make sure that it was there. He wasn’t sure he needed his inhaler, but he was checking just in case. His chest was tight as he once again attempted a deep breath. He completely filled his lungs and exhaled smoothly. He repeated this rhythm several times, surprised at the ease at which it came. But he’d keep the inhaler in his pocket. It had been a long time since he’d had a real asthma attack, since Little League, in fact. But it was never too far from his mind, especially when he played baseball. 2 Austin loved baseball, like fish love water, but he felt his asthma had probably kept him from reaching his full athletic potential. He knew today’s practice would be tough, for tomorrow was a big game. He was right. It was rough, and Austin and several others weren’t at the top of their game today. Coach Tanner firmly patted Austin’s shoulder as they headed for the dugout. “You’ve got to stop using it as a crutch, and let it go son.” Coach said in a firm, low voice.
Oh now it works~
Okayy~ I read and reread cx What's the question? c:
Austin’s greatest difficulty in playing baseball may actually be his A) fear of asthma <-- B) lack of ability C) fear of failure D) lack of self esteem
Correct. ^.^
`Austin loved baseball, like fish love water, but he felt his asthma had probably kept him from reaching his full athletic potential.`
Coach Tanner’s comment indicates that he A) is afraid that Austin may have another asthma attack. B) feels the team has no chance of winning the big game tomorrow. C) is pleased with the team’s performance today at practice. D) believes Austin’s fears are keeping him from playing to his potential. <--
Yes. c: `

@Ultrilliam
Whatever, I'll just post it without color.
try refreshing and try again now lol
1 John took off his helmet, turnout gear, and boots in the truck room and hung the jacket on his assigned peg. Just above the peg was a handmade label that read, ‘FF#121 Wilson.’ John still felt a sudden surge of pride every time he looked at the label. His father would be proud too, he reminded himself. After 32 years and a couple of million fires, his father still had the passion for it in his blood until the end. 2 It was still an hour before dinner, so John washed up and settled down in the old worn chair beside the phone to do what he always did after returning from a fire call. He dialed each digit and then waited. ‘Hullo’ a tiny voice finally answered. John was happy to hear the sound of the voice he had heard only in his head for the past two hours. ‘Daddy, have you been on a fire?’ the inquisitive child asked. ‘As a matter of fact, I have son.’ John returned. ‘Wow Dad, I can’t wait until I get big, so I can fight fires too.’ ‘I know, Son.’
Ayee
Forgot to make it so the cache would be refreshed before lol
Oh
What is the author's reason for ending the passage with the exchange between John and his son? A) It makes the point that a son's relationship with his father is more important than his relationship with his mother. B) It makes the point that John's son idolizes him, just like John idolized his own father. C) It calls attention to the extreme lengths to which heroes will go to protect others. D) It demonstrates how a father's advice can help out his son.
I believe you are correct.
A longer one.. xc
You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly--Tom's Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before. 2 Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.
@Allison You didn't post the question. :p

B?
Correct. c:
Based on what Huck says about his past experiences as recorded by "Mr. Mark Twain," how does he feel about lying? A) It is better to lie than to tell the truth. B) It is best to tell the truth, but almost everyone tells lies. C) It is better to tell the truth, but sometimes you have to lie. <-- D) It is better to lie than to tell the truth, but most people tell the truth.
Correct. :3
1 "OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney. "It's rather a mystery--" 2 "What island is it?" Rainsford asked. 3 "The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--" 4 "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht. 5 "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "and I've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night." 6 "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet." 7 "It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting." 8 "The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford. 9 "For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar." 10 "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?" 11 "Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney. 12 "Bah! They've no understanding." 13 "Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death." 14 "Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters."
Post the question, Allison. cx
I wait for you to finish sorry cx
What techniques does the author of this passage use to create a sense of mystery and suspense? A) The author pits two characters' views of the world against each other. B) The author begins the story with comedy to undermine the later horror. C) The author uses dialogue instead of visual description to open the story. D) The author foreshadows something bad happening on a dangerous place known as "Ship-Trap" Island.
Probably A because Whitney believes a jaguar can feel pain and feels almost bad for them while, on the other hand, Rainsford believes Jaguars don't feel anything and has no mercy on them.
I guessed A earlier O:
:p
The "Most Dangerous Game" is a short story about a hunter, Rainsford, who ends up getting hunted himself on Ship-Trap Island by another man. This passage is part of the story's exposition. What technique does the author use to build tension and suspense for the upcoming surprise? A) The men's dialogue about hunting makes the reader anticipate the big game hunt to come. B) The author uses comic relief at the beginning of the story to contrast its later horror. C) The imagery of the dread-inspiring island and the oppressive weather create a suspenseful atmosphere. D) Whitney's inability to see, even though he is known to have great vision, creates suspense for what is beyond the fog.
Whitney is a male? o: Answer A and D can be thrown out. All we have left is B and C. What do you believe the answer is?
Yes cx B? >.<
