11. Why is the water in wetlands filtered more thoroughly than water in a stream?

Answers

Answer 1
As water from a stream channel or surface runoff enters a wetland, the water spreads out and flows through dense vegetation. The velocity of the flow is reduced, allowing suspended material in the water to settle to the wetland surface. The roots of wetland plants can then bind the accumulated sediments. As much as 90 percent of the sediments that are present in runoff or in streamflow may be removed if the water passes through wetlands. Also, because pollutants, such as heavy metals, are attached to soil particles, the settling of sediments in wetlands further improves water quality.

Someone asked Bill Gates ( the richest man in the world at the time), ” is there someone richer than you? ”

Gates said : ” Yes, there is. ” And he went on to tell this story:

One day I was waiting on my flight, then I went to buy a newspaper to this guy who was selling them, after I grabbed the newspaper, I looked for a change in my wallet, I couldn’t find it. Then the guy said to me, it’s okay you can take it.

Couple months later, Gates flew into that same airport and when he went to buy a newspaper, the same guy was selling them and the same thing happened. After he grabbed the newspaper, he couldn’t find any change in his wallet. Then the guy told him, it’s okay you can take it. Gates said no no, not again, you gave it to me last time for free, I can’t take it again. The guy replied, yes you can take it, I’ll deduct it from my profit, it’s not a loss to me, just take it. And Gates went on his way.

Couple years later, after Bill Gates became who he is now, with the fame and all the money in the world, he remembered this newspaper guy. He tracked him down, and after a month and half, he found the guy, and he asked him:

Gates : do you know who I am?

News paper guy : yes I do, you are Bill Gates.

Gates : do you remember me, giving me newspapers for free?

News paper guy : yes I do.

Gates: I want to repay for what you did for me back then. Name something that you want and I’ll fulfill it.

News paper guy : no, I cant.

Gates : why?

News paper guy : it’s not the same.

Gates : how do you mean?

News paper guy : when I helped you, I didn’t have anything. Yet I did. You want to repay me now, when you have everything! It’s not the same.

That’s when Bill Gates knew it’s far more great to have a rich heart than a lot of money. Here is to that!

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?

Answers

This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".

Answer:

The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.

Explanation:

Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .

The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

Can clothing change the way a person behaves?
Write an opinion essay applying the elements and the writing process.

Answers

We all take a little extra effort to look nice for special occasions. But for the most, people remain conflicted between wanting to dress up and feeling guilty about taking the time to focus on clothes. Science now suggests that how we dress may just be the difference between giving ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives. And yes, that applies to men too.

We hear sayings like “dress for the job you want; not the job you have” and “look good, feel good” all the time. Most people don’t really believe in them, but we try to match our attire to the occasion nevertheless. The good news is that research into the impact of clothes on behavior now suggests that there may actually be a grain of truth in these sayings. Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, attitudes, personality, mood, confidence, and even the way we interact with others. This is “Enclothed Cognition“.

The term Enclothed Cognition is used to describe the effect that our clothes seem to have on various psychological processes like emotions, self evaluations, attitudes, and interpersonal interactions. Clothes affect our behavior and our moods because of the symbolic meaning that we (as a society) ascribe to different types of attire.

We consider some clothes to be powerful, some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes and the occasion. It would seem that we also evaluate ourselves and our roles based on what we are wearing at a particular time; because of the way they make you feel. This means that the experience of wearing something subtly affects our attitudes and our choice of behavior.

How, does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to flawed heroes like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Batman? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion. Your response must cite the articles you read in the lesson.

Answers

Imperfect heroes are those who present a history where good and evil are not simple, well-defined and well-defined concepts, but which mix, as in the real way. These heroes have problems defining what is right and what is wrong, in many moments, they have several traumas and problems, but they are able to endure their limitations and imperfections to promote what they believe is right. In other words, these characters believe that if they succeeded, in the midst of the imperfections they have to get where they are, it means that they can take it a little longer. In this sense, we can associate the Russian proverbial about the hero being "the one who can take another minute," with these characters, because they do not give up on good beings, even when it is difficult.

Answer: I couldn't find anything on this either so I hope this helps!

Flawed hero's are a more interesting take on heroic archetypes. Flawed hero's deal with the same internal challenges that we do, often in the works of bettering themselves and overcoming their human issues. This makes them relatable and more inspiring in a sense, because it's instead of seeing something that seems completely out of this world and impossible, you're seeing someone you look up to never give up on being good, even when its hard. With that, we can connect the proverbial Russian definition of. a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more" to flawed hero's because flawed hero's represent relatability, humility, humanism, but also the strength of never giving up.

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg.

We thought American business was the Rock of Gibraltar. We were the prosperous nation, and nothing could stop us now. A brownstone house was forever. You gave it to your kids and they put marble fronts on it. There was a feeling of continuity. If you made it, it was there forever. Suddenly the big dream exploded.  The impact was unbelievable.

How do Harburg's words reflect the experience of many Americans during the Great Depression?

Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.

Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.

Like Harburg, many were grateful for the lessons they learned from the Depression.

Like Harburg, many made meticulous plans to prepare for the Depression.

Answer:

Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question above shows that Americans saw the United States as a country so prosperous and successful that it was constantly growing and had a path of success that would go on for years. This prosperity caused Americans to be extremely surprised by the arrival of the Great Depression, as they did not believe that an empire like the one the United States had established could be swept up in ashes and reached the brink of misery overnight, as happened with the collapse of the steel market.

The correct and suitable answer from the given passage is like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.

The main vision is to show that the country like America is growing so fast and developing in all the stages due to which the American were growing automatically and the job opportunity were so high and citizen were going too.

The Rock of Gibraltar was located on the sea shore of Great Britain , also consider the Property of United Kingdom and was the major connection between the sea business from other countries.

The Epic of Gilgamesh has been of interest to Christians ever since its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century in the ruins of the great library at Nineveh, with its account of a universal flood with significant parallels to the Flood of Noah's day.1, 2 The rest of the Epic, which dates back to possibly third millennium B.C., contains little of value for Christians, since it concerns typical polytheistic myths associated with the pagan peoples of the time. However, some Christians have studied the ideas of creation and the afterlife presented in the Epic.

Answer:

The excerpt is in the first-person perspective.

Explanation:

A first-person narrator uses first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me" and gives us his / her own perspective on things. The reader, therefore, only receives the information known and offered by the narrator. That means everything we get to know is biased, since it comes permeated by the narrator's feelings and opinions. Notice that the excerpt we are analyzing here uses first-person pronouns. This narrator is describing him/herself. We get a glimpse of the way he/she feels - "And I feel ordinary. Inside" - and thinks.

Answers

C FASHO GANG NO CAP !!!!

The attitude toward the minutemen Emerson most clearly expresses in "Concord Hymn" is  He expresses gratitude. Thus the correct option is C.

What is Concord Hymn?

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote poetry named as "Concord Hymn" about the minutemen's first fire in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1775.

The difficult period of American history when the first battles of the American Revolutionary War were fought between Americans and Britons is described in the song.

The song "Concord Hymn," which was composed in honor of the dedication of the war memorial in 1837, perfectly demonstrated Emerson's honesty in expressing his thanks to the troops who had fought for it.

Here, the narrator requests that the memorial be protected because it is a special remembrance. To recall and honor the heroes of a war that took place there, a stone monument was constructed.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.

Which revisions fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence? Janelle walks into the house and found a package. Select each correct answer. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package. Janelle walked into the house and had found a package. Janelle is walking into the house and found a package. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.

Answers

Answer:

The revisions which fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence are:

A. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package.

D. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.

Explanation:

Let's underline the verbs in the original sentence and identify the tenses:

Janelle walks into the house and found a package.

The first verb is "walks", and it is clearly in the simple present tense. Notice the ending -s for the third person singular. The second verb is "found", which is the past form of the verb "find". Therefore, it is in the simple past tense.

To properly revise the sentence, we must choose between one of the two tenses so that the actions described will be in accordance. Thus, we should either use only the simple present or only the simple past for both verbs. That is precisely what we have in options A and D. Option A uses the simple present "walks" and "finds", while option D uses the simple past "walked" and "found". They are, for that reason, the correct options.
