The Cupcake Contest
Neal was so excited. His high school was having a bake-off, and the owners of a local cupcake shop were going to judge. Neal had always had a knack for cooking and baking, and he was pretty sure he could win this contest. He'd perfected his classic vanilla cupcake recipe.
On the way to biology class, he asked his friend Liza what she was baking for the contest.
"I'm going to make my grandmother's red velvet cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting and cinnamon," Liza replied.
Neal groaned. Liza's cupcakes sounded so much more creative. Suddenly, his simple vanilla cupcakes seemed lame.
Determined to impress the judges, Neal changed his cupcake recipe. He added a marshmallow filling to each cupcake. To liven up his buttercream frosting, he added purple food dye, lavender oil, and licorice extract. The cupcakes still looked boring, so he garnished them with gold dust, rice paper birds, and edible flower petals.
In spite of all these adventurous touches, his cupcakes turned out lopsided and goopy, and the frosting tasted strongly like licorice. But he was sure the cupcake judges would look highly on how fancy his cupcakes were.
Neal could hardly wait for the contest results to be posted after school. But when he saw the list on the wall, his mouth fell open. He didn't win any prizes, not even as a runner-up. And first place had gone to one of his classmates, Drew Feldman. The description by Drew's cupcakes read, "Classic Vanilla."

Which two ways would the story be different if it were told from the young king's point of view?

Answers

Answer:

The reader would know what the young king thinks about marriage at such a young age

The reader would know what the young king thinks about his father squandering all the money.

Explanation:

I took the test and got it right! :)

The story is different if it were told from the young king's point of view as there is a difference in the thinking patterns of adult and aged people.

What is the context of the story?

The given event is derived from  "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt highlighting the central idea as a friendship that in the age of racism and discrimination, how friendship flourishes between two adults.

The confrontations between the numerous personalities and groups in Phippsburg are one of the novel's main plot points where  One set of characters favors maintaining the current system of racial, and economic domination.

If the story were recounted from the viewpoint of the young king, it would concentrate more on the societal repercussions of the racial war while defining a mature worldview and thought pattern.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet. Which adaptation best maintains the original meaning and tone of the underlined part of the excerpt?

Explanation:

Semicolons separate two related sentences. Using a comma between "despaired" and "everyone," or not using punctuation at all, would cause it to be a comma splice or run-on sentence. D is a very close answer because the conjunction "and" can also connect two sentences, but only with a comma before it. Plus, it would just be wordy. :)

i did the usa test prep

The author that  help the reader understand the connection between points and lines by showing how a point is smaller than a line. Thus, option B is correct.

How does the author try to convince readers to believe with his opinion?

Persuasion in writing is used to persuade, motivate, or lead readers toward a certain point of view or position. The act of attempting to convince implies that more than one point of view on the issue may be advanced.

Plot, setting, and tone are the three finest tools for interpreting the author's intent. To begin, the author's aim is the reason why he or she wrote in the first place, what message he or she intended to convey, and to whom.

More writing is a plus, because practice makes perfect. At the same time, writing in a vacuum won't help us much. Reading exposes us to many writing styles, voices, formats, and genres. Importantly, it exposes us to writing that is superior to our own and assists us in improving. Hence, option B is correct.

Alot of times you cant change the ingrediants in the recipe because it changes what the food is. The passage says, " The best way to handle a food allergy is to avoid that particular food."

Answers

Answer:

Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although most girls do not continue their education, going to school was important for her  to develop a sense of strength and independence.

Explanation:

Resilience is a trait that can be defined as the ability to recover after being knocked down by difficulties and come back as strong as before, if not even stronger. As stated in the third option, parents taught Sandra that school was important for her to develop a sense of strength and independence, which are important aspects of resilience.

Sandra's parents rejected traditional gender roles, which means that they wouldn't teach her that she needs to get married and have children or that her brothers are her superiors. They would teach her that they are equals. The fourth option fits this, but there is no reason she would learn to be resilient just because she and her brothers are treated equally in their household.

Thus, the correct option is the third one.
