According to the text, what is one way that Slat and Wilson approach the problem of dealing with plastic waste in oceans differently?


Slat refutes the idea that plastics harm ocean environments; Wilson believes plastics may benefit ocean environments in some ways.


Slat deals with the plastic that has already accumulated; Wilson wants to eliminate the use of plastics altogether.

Slat feels the plastic problem can be solved by engineers; Wilson feels the problem can be solved by legislation.


Slat estimates plastics can be eliminated from the oceans in a few years; Wilson thinks plastics are impossible to eliminate from the oceans.

Answers

Answer:

B). Slat deals with the plastic that has already accumulated; Wilson wants to eliminate the use of plastics altogether.

Explanation:

As per the text, the difference in Slat and Wilson's approach to deal with the problem of plastic waste accumulation in the oceans is that 'Slat focuses on dealing with the plastic that has been accumulated already while Wilson aims to eliminate the complete use of plastics altogether.' Slat promotes the 'idea of affixing an array of floating barriers and platforms to the seabed' which reflects that he lays emphasis on dealing with the current waste while Wilson promotes 'the complete restriction on the use of plastic goods so there would be no more plastics to deal with.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

Slat deals with the plastic that has already accumulated; Wilson wants to eliminate the use of plastics altogether.

On the contrary, I understand your situation and can pity you. Only you appear to be mistaken about me, and I wish to set you right. You doubtless imagine that I have acquired all the wealth and luxury that you see me enjoy without difficulty or danger, but this is far indeed from being the case. I have only reached this happy state after having for years suffered every possible kind of toil and danger.Which details from the text best support the central idea? Select two options.

Answers

Answer:

You appear to be mistaken about me

I wish to set you right.

Explanation:

Based on the given passage, Sinbad finds out that his situation has been misunderstood by the reader because the reader erroneously thinks that everything Sinbad acquired was without stress or hardwork.

As a result of this, Sinbad wants to explain himself so he won't be misunderstood.

Vera is the first character who speaks in the story. Keeping direct characterization techniques in mind, write a 75- to 100-word description of Vera. Use details from the story to support your answer.

Answers

This question is related to the short story "The Open Window"

Answer:

Vera is a country girl, but instead of showing country and naive traits, Vera shows herself to be a very polite, controlled and centered girl. This can be seen right when she meets Mr. Frampton Nuttel, at the beginning of the story. However, despite these positive qualities, in the course of the plot, Vera shows herself to be an astute, malicious and very intelligent girl.

Vera is not really a villain, but she is quite manipulative and manages to hit Mr. Frampton Nuttel squarely with his subterfuge. We can understand that she does this to have a distraction from the monotonous life of the countryside and to rule her control and intelligence in someone weaker.

Answer:

Vera is a 15-year-old girl who has an overactive imagination and is a good actress. She keeps acting even when her uncle and his companions return from hunting. The narrator describes Vera’s reaction:

Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension. The child was staring out through the open window with a dazed horror in her eyes.

Vera is able to fool her own family as well as Framton. She explains Framton’s sudden departure:

"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly; "he told me he had a horror of dogs.”

identify the boodfaced noun as common abstract concrete compound or collective courage of lion

Answers

The correct answer is B. Abstract

Explanation:

Abstract nouns such as the nouns love, courage, or hope represent ideas that are not tangible; this is the opposite of a concrete noun, which includes words such as table, mountain, or park because these can be perceived through the senses. In this context, the word "courage" can be classified as an abstract noun. Also, this is not a proper noun because it does not refer to a specific person such as the noun Paul, and it is not a compound noun because it does not include two or more words.

Because Josh gets lost in the desert, he learns that

Answers

I know what you're thinking. No way, right? English class is the most boring class of the day, right? I mean, why do I need to take English class when I already speak English? Right? Yeah, well I felt that way, too, until last summer when English class literally saved my life.
Let me explain.
My foster family, the Jamesons, decided to take a vacation. Sounds great, huh? Maybe Disneyland or a week on the beach? No way. They wanted to go to the desert. Long story short, we drove half way across the country to camp out in the Great Basin Desert.
"Josh, be sure to pack your warmest clothing," Mrs. Jameson yelled up the stairs. "The desert is cold at night, but don't worry. It won't leave you cold. Just wait until you see the stars."
We finally arrived at the Great Basin National Park, and I have to admit it was different than I imagined.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Mr. Jameson asked me as we looked out over the desert's vast, silent valleys. I just grunted back at him and put my earphones back in. No matter what changed in my life, no matter how many times I failed, my music was always there.
Later that night, I sat inside my tent and listened to the Jamesons telling stories around the fire they made. They thought it was so easy. Telling stories. Reading stories. I couldn't even pass English class. I couldn't understand those stupid stories. Suddenly angry, I left the tent. They didn't even notice.
The air was colder, but the stars were amazing. I had to admit it. I turned off my music as I walked and listened to the desert. Coyotes howling. Owls hooting. Clawing. Scurrying. Something wet hit my face. I looked up and realized it was snowing! In the desert in July! And I was lost.
I wandered for hours but couldn't find our camp. The temperature continued to drop. I found a tree with deep crevices in the trunk and took shelter. My hands were getting numb, and I knew I was in trouble. Then I remembered Jack London and his story that we read in English class, "To Build a Fire." I knew I needed to keep warm, so I gathered up the branches around the base of the tree, piled up some dry grasses for kindling, and used the matches in my pocket to get the fire going. Just like in Jack's story. It worked!
I spent the night keeping that fire going and listening to the sounds of the desert. In the morning, the Jamesons found me. I was only about a half-mile away.
"Look at you," Mrs. Jameson said, when I told her how I'd remembered that story from English class, "making use of those 'stupid' stories from English class. Now all you have to do is write your own because your friends aren't going to believe how English class saved your life!"

He really does understand the stories he reads in English.

Read the passage below. Then explain how the setting helps to develop the following theme: No matter how much we want to deny it, people change over time. Use specific examples from the text in supporting your response. Passage When I went back to Eastborough for my 20th high school reunion, I didn't know what to expect. I was excited to see the old gang: Squid, Tony, and Mikey were all going to be there. I hadn't been back since graduation, but when I stepped into the old gym it felt like coming home. There was the stage where I starred in Hamlet, and the hoop where I hit the game-winning shot. I felt like a king again, like nothing had changed. I saw the guys and ran over. "Squid!" I yelled and punched him in the arm, just like the four of us used to do. He seemed a little taken aback. "Actually, I go by my real name now: Harold." "Hey, sorry Squid. No offense. How are you doing, Mikey? Tony? "Good," Mikey said. "Enjoying this get-together, though I'll have to get the kids home soon." "Me, too," said Tony. "Soon?" I said, "I just got here! Why don't we sneak into the science lab and race some of the frogs, like old times?" It went on like that for a few more minutes: me trying to get those guys to lighten up and them making excuses until they finally left. Standing alone after the guys left, I looked around again. The paint was chipped on the ceiling, and cobwebs laced across every corner. The banners on the wall were faded. Suddenly, I didn't feel like a king anymore. Nothing was the same, was it?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

   The setting helps develop the theme by showing that even though they are in the same setting, many things werent the same. For example, in the text it shows how many thing have changed between the main characters friends.  How are you doing, Mikey? Tony? "Good," Mikey said. "Enjoying this get-together, though I'll have to get the kids home soon." "Me, too," said Tony. "Soon?" I said, "I just got here! Why don't we sneak into the science lab and race some of the frogs, like old times?" "It went on like that for a few more minutes: me trying to get those guys to lighten up and them making excuses until they finally left."
