You wouldn't like my cat or my smelly dog none.
All the animals in our house are wild and nutty.
My cat ain't beautiful, though she's not as crazy as my old dog.
There are prettier animals, but my cat is the smartest animal we own.
Answer: Its the fourth answer
Explanation: This is because your not bragging about the cat but your being really nice and explaining it in a way its ok on both sides instead of bragging and saying my cat is cute its the best cat ever. It soft and fury. You just explain it from your perspective and a way you won't upset anyone because remember your writing it to someone you don't know so you don't want to do anything that will ruin a good relationship. That could be really good relatives. That could be just little things that will cause big things, but anyways the last one is not bragging and its not talking about any other pets. Soory for the long drawn out explanation i hope i helped.
Answer:
Explanation:
The most formal way to describe your pet in a letter to a distant relative you have never met might be: "I have a cat and a dog as pets. The cat is intelligent, while the dog is well-behaved." This description conveys the necessary information about your pets without using casual language or making negative comments about them. It is important to remember to be respectful and polite when writing to someone you have never met, especially if the relationship is formal.

Answer:
I heard a rustling noise in the shrubs outside of my window... all of a sudden, the curtains flipped open, and I got a weird feeling down my spine, like someone was watching me... I hopped out of bed, and put my shoes on, trying to be as quiet as possible, as I didn't want to wake my parents, I tip-toed down the stairs, and creaked open the front door. Once I got outside I felt a weird presence like there was someone or something with me. That's when I felt gravitated over to the shrubs.... once I got over to the shrubs near my window, I saw something! I screamed as loud as I could, it looked like some sort of a ghost, but then again I don't believe in ghosts. I hurried away back to the porch to collect myself, and went inside, once I got back upstairs, and tucked in, I still felt odd and unsettled. Once I started falling asleep I heard someone whispering my name so I said "Dad, Mom?" and then I felt a hand over my mouth, so once again I screamed, I tried to open my eyes but they felt so heavy, I stopped resisting. Once I opened my eyes I was in an odd place, with lots of greenery... then I remembered, the shrub! maybe the odd person/spirit took me into the shrub with them! It had to be that. Then I heard a dull knocking noise, and an alarm clock so I pried my eyes open with all my strength, and I was back in my bed with my mom yelling at my to wake up... what a dream, or was it...?

Read the following passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States regarding defamatory speech, which is a false statement of fact that damages a person's character, fame, or reputation:
Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals. Speakers are afforded greater protection when they comment about a public official, as opposed to a private citizen. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public officials could prove defamation only if they could demonstrate "actual malice," that is, that the speaker acted with knowledge that the defamatory statement was false or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Choose the explicit textual evidence that best supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection under U.S. defamation law . . .
Question 12 options:
In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public officials could prove defamation only if they could demonstrate "actual malice" . . .
Speakers are afforded greater protection when they comment about a public official . . .
Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals.
. . . the speaker acted with knowledge that the defamatory statement was false or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Answer:
"Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals."
Explanation:
This statement from the passage is explicit textual evidence that supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection under U.S. defamation law. The statement explicitly states that there are different standards for public officials and private individuals, which suggests that these two groups are not treated equally under defamation law. This supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection.

fingers fixed to curl around a plow,
nails caked with dirt from morning prayers.
It felt like home against mine.
You took my hand one time only,
before I caught the bus to leave Kornaka.
You took my hand and said “my son,
remember the telephone
is sacred.”

Answer:Despite technical breakthroughs and scientific discoveries that lead us to assume we have little in common with the rest of the animal world, whether we recognize it or not, we are still a member of the planet's fauna. Needless to mention, when humanity's greatest achievements were the invention of a round wheel or specific agricultural implements, humans were dependent on nature and paid attention to changes in its course (George 24). With the technological revolutions and discoveries that have shaped our previous history, we appear to pay little attention to nature, becoming increasingly estranged from it on a daily basis. However, our ties to nature cannot be severed. There are several important reasons why individuals should aim to engage with nature more than they do now.
Explanation:
Answer:
Despite the technological advances and scientific inventions that make us believe we have nothing in common with the rest of the animal kingdom, we are still part of the planet’s fauna, whether we realize it or not. Needless to say, back when humanity’s main achievements were the invention of a round wheel, or specific tools for farming agriculture, human beings were dependent on nature and paid attention to the changes of its course (George 24). Now, with technological revolutions and discoveries that made up our past history, we seem to pay little attention to nature, getting more and more disconnected from it every day. However, the links we have with nature cannot disappear. There are a number of key reasons in favor of the concept that people should try to connect with nature more than they do today.Nature has historically been the home for human beings, just like it remains a home for animals and plants (with the exception of those that are kept in zoos and greenhouses). Nature is able to show us true beauty without modifications, exaggerations, and falseness. After all, is it not ironic how people go to galleries and exhibitions to look at paintings of colorful flowers, mighty woods, green hills, and fast clear streams; those simple beauties can easily be observed in real life outside of the urban environment which looms around them. Or the fact people purchase recordings of calming sounds of nature, like what you would hear at night in the woods—a damped quavering of an owl, a ringing flare of crickets, and the sonorous rustle of bushes. What we are in fact doing is trying to deceive our minds and make ourselves believe we are in the woods, next to those owls, crickets, and bushes, while we are instead trapped inside our tiny, well-furnished, and packed-with-technology apartment.

How are the passaged organized? Match the passage with the correct text structure.
1 .
Polar bears live in artic climates. Because of this, they must be adapted to some serious weather conditions. Thick white fur (which also lines the bottom of their feet) and a layer of blubber (fat) allows polar bears to withstand weather that would cause most animals to freeze! Polar bears are much less impacted by freezing cold temperatures as a result of their unique traits.
2.
Jaguars and leopards are two commonly mistaken species. Both look like big cats with similar coloring and spotted patterns. However, jaguars have a shorter and more muscular body. Jaguars are also more likely to stand up to larger animals or predators. You will find jaguars and leopards in different parts of the world. Jaguars live in some parts of the United States, Central, and South America. Leopards live mostly in Africa and Asia.
3.
King Cobras lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time. Once the eggs are laid, the mother cobra will create a nest from dead leaves and coil herself on top. The eggs must be kept warm for up to 80 days. During this time, a cobra will see any animal nearby as a threat and will attach. Once the eggs finally hatch, the 18 inch babies will have to survive on their own by finding protection in the surrounding environment.
4.
What happens when a dog gets overheated? They pant. Panting allows cooler air to quickly circulate throughout their bodies until they return to a more comfortable temperature. Dogs also produce small amounts of sweat from their paws and noses. This sweat helps the cooling process. The thicker the fur on a dog, the longer it takes to cool down. You can also help your furry friend by making sure they have a cool place to stay, and plenty of water to drink.
5.
Warthogs live in the grasslands of Africa. They have large heads with wide, flat faces and 4 large tusks that they can use to attack other animals. Their short bodies are covered with rough, bristly hairs. Warthogs are herbivores with a diet that consists of grass, fruits, berries, roots, small animals and birds. They are very quick for their size, running at maximum speeds of 30 miles per hour.
6.
Horned toad lizards are unfortunately the prey of many species such as coyotes, hawks, and snakes. To protect themselves, it shoots blood from its eyes! When the horned toad lizard has no other way to defend itself, it shoots blood out of ducts in the corners of its eyes. This blood can travel up to three feet, and at the very least, is able to startle any nearby predators so the lizard is able to escape from harm.

For this passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States:
History has shown that curtailing free expression by banning speech does not advance democracy. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution recognized that when governments forbid citizens from talking about certain topics, it often forces those citizens to discuss such topics secretly. By allowing individuals to express their opinions — no matter how much the government and other citizens may disagree with them — the First Amendment promotes transparency and social stability. This uninhibited public debate also forces ideas into the intellectual marketplace, where they must compete with the ideas freely expressed by other individuals. This competition of ideas means that inferior or offensive ideas give way to better ones.

Review the discussion prompt with a partner or small group. Before beginning your discussion, generate ideas for your response and revisit the vocabulary review list to select useful and relevant terms.
Discussion: In this unit, we have been reading, writing, and thinking about identity, and one aspect of a person’s identity is his or her personality. What is one word you would use to describe your personality? Why did you choose that word? What has contributed to the development of your personality?Use as many Big Idea and Academic Vocabulary words in your discussion as you can.
After your discussion, reflect on your experience. How many vocabulary words were you able to incorporate? How comfortable did you feel recalling and using these words? What strategies were beneficial in learning these words, and what will you adjust in the future? Record your response below.
How do we become who we are? Traditionally, people’s answers have placed them in one of two camps: nature or nurture. The one says genes determine an individual while the other claims the environment is the linchpin for development. Since the 16th century, when the terms “nature” and “nurture” first came into use, many people have spent ample time debating which is more important, but these discussions have more often led to ideological cul-de-sacs rather than pinnacles of insight.
New research into epigenetics the science of how the environment influences genetic expressions changing the conversation. As psychologist David S. Moore explains in his newest book, The Developing Genome, this burgeoning field reveals that what counts is not what genes you have so much as what your genes are doing. And what your genes are doing is influenced by the ever-changing environment they’re in. Factors like stress, nutrition, and exposure to toxins all play a role in how genes are expressed essentially which genes are turned on or off. Unlike the static conception of nature or nurture, epigenetic research demonstrates how genes and environments continuously interact to produce characteristics throughout a lifetime.
The structure of the paragraph is compare and contrast. It contrasts the influence of nature on development by describing details that support the other side of the debate. It shows that environment also has a strong influence on people.
