Arachne and the Goddess, Athena, compete in a weaving competition to see who has the most beautiful tapestries. When suddenly, enraged, the goddess turns Arachne into a spider as punishment for her cruel and foolish depictions of the gods.

A. External Conflict
B. Internal Conflict

Answer:

It's External Conflict

Explanation:

External conflict is fighting against a person or something and Internal conflict is fighting against a belief or idea.

Answer:

External

Explanation:

Internal Conflict: character vs. self

External Conflict: takes place between a person and someone or something else, ect.

I'd say this is external, because it is happening to Arachne AND Athena, rather than Arachne vs. self. If you need me to explain how this works, lmk!

Select the correct text in the passage. Which part of the passage provides details that are also in the image? from The Talkative Tortoise There was once a wise person who became an adviser to a king who was very talkative—so talkative that when he was around, no one had an opportunity to say a word. At that time, there also lived a tortoise in a pond in the Himalayas, who made friends with two young wild ducks. One day, the ducks said to the tortoise, "Friend tortoise, the place where we live, at the Golden Cave on Mount Beautiful in the Himalayan country, is a delightful spot. Will you come there with us?" The tortoise asked, "But how can I get there?" "We can take you if you can only hold your tongue and say nothing to anybody," replied the ducks. "Oh! That I can do. Take me with you," said the tortoise. And making the tortoise bite hold of a stick, the ducks took the two ends in their teeth and flew up into the air. Some villagers called out and said, "Two wild ducks are carrying a tortoise along on a stick!" The tortoise who had difficulty keeping quiet wanted to say, "If my friends choose to carry me, what is that to you!" When the tortoise opened his mouth to say the words, he let go of the stick he was biting and fell down and got hurt. The king, who saw this happen, asked his adviser, "How come he has fallen here?" The adviser replied, "The tortoise must have wanted to say something, let go of the stick, fallen down from the sky, and thus got injured." The king understood the adviser's words and learned to listen to others.

What are the conflicts in this story? How do Jolene's actions move the plot forward?
Passage
Jolene was hungry and craving a big bowl of cereal. Peering into the fridge, she remembered that she had used the rest of the milk last night. Maybe her mom was on the way home and could pick some up. Her quick text message was met with an immediate response: "Stuck at work, won't be home for an hour." With no stores in walking distance, Jolene rummaged through the cabinet to find a jar and ventured to her neighbor's house to borrow a cup of milk. A boy from her class, Allen, answered the doorbell. Darn — Jolene had hoped that Allen's sister Isabel would answer. Allen and Jolene had never liked each other much. Allen said they didn't have any milk either. Jolene knew he was lying but, saying nothing, she left and continued on to the next house.

Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.

Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

What are the central ideas in "Colony Collapse Disorder"?

Select the two correct answers.


A. The most likely cause of CCD is pathogens.

B. Adult bees are abandoning their colonies.

C. Honeybees generally live in the same colonies.

D. Few dead bees were found near the colonies.
