Using four or more complete sentences, examine the achievements and leadership qualities of Abraham Lincoln
Answer- Abraham Lincoln was president during the Civil War, one of the most difficult periods in American history. Despite the divisions between the North and South (the Union and the Confederacy) Abraham Lincoln’s goal remained the same throughout: the preservation of the Union. It was this dedication, along with his commitment to the emancipation of all slaves, that eventually resulted in a unified nation free of slavery. His strong leadership eventually led to the 13th Amendment, banning slavery in the United States. President Lincoln’s power and conviction are evident in his two most famous speeches, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address.

This weekend I got a chance to ride an elephant. It was something everyone should try. People in the U.S. are used to riding horses or ponies, but an elephant ride is unusual. Elephants are much bigger than horses--to get on, I had to climb a ladder. But even though I was up so high, I wasn’t scared at all. The elephant, Mimi, was gentle and moved slowly. Her back was so wide I wasn’t scared of falling off. When she walked, I was able to see a long way from her high back. It was a great experience.
Elephants are very large.
No one should ever ride an elephant.
Riding an elephant is a great experience.
The elephant was named Mimi.

Read the poem entitled "The Poison Tree" by William Blake.
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine, —
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
Which statement best describes the poem’s use of language?
Blake uses images of plants to show nature’s bounty.
Blake reveals emotions being cultivated like a garden.
Blake presents ripe fruit to question the duration of beauty.
Blake explains the planting process to suggest man’s hard work.
Answer:
Blake reveals emotions being cultivated like a garden.
Explanation:
William Blake's poem "The Poison Tree" revolves around the theme of anger and how it can lead to different repercussions depending on the circumstances. The speaker talks of how his repressed anger led to different outcomes based on how he treated it.
By alluding to the process of planting or raising a plant, the speaker talks of how he deals with his anger. He "watered it [...] night and morning, [...] sunned it." This effort resulted in the fruit, "an apple" which the foe apparently took and died.
By using the imagery of a plant and the process of cultivating it, Blake reveals the emotions of the speaker.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

1. In a complete paragraph, write an objective summary of the attached article
2. Based on what you have read, what can you infer about the relationship between the animated show,
the audiences watching it, and current events?
Please include a direct quote, using proper parenthetical citation from the article to support your
inference.
Answer the question in 2 to 3 sentences.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. The purpose of the article is to show how the animation "Avatar: The last airbender" is current, pointing out political and racial issues seen throughout the world, in addition to bringing an exciting narrative about family issues, personal relationships and even spirituality, faith and hope.
2. According to the article, we can see that the success of animation is the result of the ability to talk directly with an audience that has been constantly victimized by colonization, the suppression of cultures and the devaluation in relation to richer, stronger cultures. This can be seen through the words of Omoli, an assistant professor of Middle East, Islamic history and the global south at Penn State University in Pennsylvania, which associates the nation of fire (present in the amiation) with the colonization that European nations have promoted. Omoli affirms that “One of the things we see with the Fire nation is the ideological justification for what they're doing. We are a glorious civilisation. We have abundance, we have wealth, we have technological advancement; we need to share it with the rest of the world. That's almost word for word European colonisation.”
Read the following sentence.
Washing her hands at the sink Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice called.
Which sentence is edited correctly?
(A) Washing her hands at the sink Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend Alice called.
(B)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna, could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(C)Washing her hands at the sink Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(D)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
'Washing her hands at the sink' shows us what is going on at the moment. 'Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.' shows the problem. And the reason you need a comma before and after 'Alice' is that her name is added information but not needed.
