A Complication or Two
The rejection letter from my Ivy League school of choice was the first major obstacle I encountered in my grand 10-year plan. It was not the last. I was 17, and at the time quite certain that nothing would derail me from my grandiose future. I planned to achieve everything my parents expected, and more. The first step was supposed to have been attending my parents’ alma mater, graduating with honors, and then moving on to law school without pausing to let my peers—or competitors—catch me. To say that’s not how it went is a gross understatement.
Needing a distraction in my moment of crisis, I decided to pick up another couple of hours of volunteer service. I rode the subway to Tri-Valley Hospital with that rejection letter wrinkled in my right fist. I probably should have left it at home, but I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. I’d spent so many hours volunteering at Tri-Valley to build my community service résumé that the trek there felt like it was accomplished on autopilot rather than through any active involvement on my part.
Alma was a new volunteer that morning, and I felt grateful for her presence, though I suppose I really didn’t pay much attention to her. Mostly, I was relieved to have something to focus on, other than the big fat rejection letter swelling in my pocket. I showed Alma the volunteer wing, which was really just a room with a few lockers, a microwave, and a lot of large posters with rules and cautionary messages. She shadowed me on that shift, and together we delivered food trays, chatted with bedridden patients who didn’t have visitors that morning, and carried out a number of fairly tedious tasks. I forgot Alma’s name three times and had to apologize. It was a unique enough name that I shouldn’t have forgotten once, but the rejection letter was burning a hole in my pocket and apparently in my mind.
At lunch, Alma sat across from me, even though by then several other regular volunteers had arrived and offered to take her out for real food rather than subjecting her to the cafeteria fare. I can’t imagine how far gone I must have seemed to her, but I’ll never forget what she said as I prodded the chocolate mass parading as cake on my tray. “You must really love what you do here,” she said. “I can tell you care about this place and the patients we visited.”
Her words dug into me, primarily because I had never once stopped to consider whether I enjoyed my time at the hospital. Hundreds of food trays served, hundreds of patients visited, and still somehow the whole experience amounted to nothing more than a checkmark on the extensive list of what I needed to accomplish to achieve my goals. I did think about it then, as I finished my dessert. She wasn’t incorrect. A lot of people hate hospitals—the lights, the sterile smell, the undercurrent of urgency, illness, and tragedy. But I didn’t hate it at all. The fact that I was there that day proved more than anything else that I saw it as a comfortable place.
Alma and I ended up attending the same university. It wasn’t Ivy League, and I wasn’t pre-law. Freshman year, I decided to complete my undergraduate degree on an accelerated three-year plan. Although that three years stretched to four-and-a-half, when I graduated, my wife of two years, whose name I had not forgotten once since that first day at Tri-Valley, was by my side and expecting our first daughter. Medical school was its own unique challenge, especially after the twins came along halfway through. We purchased our first house the year they turned six, after I landed a residency at Tri-Valley. But we slept in a nearby hotel for the first two months of home ownership because of a burst pipe that flooded our bedrooms the week we moved in.
Looking back, I suppose my life started with that letter. I don’t think everything necessarily happens for a reason—there’s too much tragedy in the world for that. But there’s no doubt that some misfortunes turn into pivotal moments that can alter the course of a person’s life for the better. Alma and I have been together for 30 years now, and I still wonder what that other life—the one in which my letter said “congratulations”—might look like. I expect it would have been pretty grand, full of its own triumphs and pitfalls. My children are fresh to the adult world, and when I see their tears as plans go sideways, I like to imagine that someday they’ll sit where I am with people to love, hobbies to pursue, and maybe even a spare dollar in the bank.
How does Alma influence the narrator's life?
a. She has lunch with him instead of going out with the other volunteers.
b. She is by his side throughout college.
c. She points out how much he loves his volunteer work.
d. She shadows the narrator on his shift and helps him with the patients.

In the story "By the waters of Babylon," how does John view the
world, and how do we know? Explain.
He closed his eyes in order to fix his last thoughts upon his wife and children. The water, touched to gold by the early sun, the brooding mists under the banks at some distance down the stream, the fort, the soldiers, the piece of drift--all had distracted him. And now he became conscious of a new disturbance. Striking through the thought of his dear ones was sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith's hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. He wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by-- it seemed both. Its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. He awaited each new stroke with impatience and--he knew not why--apprehension. The intervals of silence grew progressively longer; the delays became maddening. With their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. They hurt his ear like the trust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. What he heard was the ticking of his watch.
What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A) to speak out against war
B) to illustrate the evil nature of the man’s captors
C) to force the reader to sympathize with the condemned man
D) to share the maddening, final thoughts of a condemned man

Which statement best explains the aunt's reaction to the bachelor in the excerpt?
Answer:
The aunt disapproves of the bachelor's story because she disagrees with the moral message it gives to the children.
Explanation:
This question refers to Hector Hugh Munro's story "The Storyteller".
Three children travel with their aunt in a railway carriage. Bored by the long travel, the children keep asking the aunt whole bunch of usual children questions, but the aunt's answers don't satisfy the children's curiosity. She decides to tell them a story, but the kids find it boring and the moral of the story unoriginal.
The man traveling with them shares the same opinion on aunt's storytelling so he gives a try. He tells the story about a girl who was so good that she earned medals for that and was invited to a beautiful park where no other kid was ever allowed. In that park she was atacked by a wolf. She hides, but the wolf hears her medals clinking, finds her and eats her. Basically, the story tells that the girl wouldn't have been eaten hadn't she been so good.
The aunt is shocked by the moral of the story and shows jer disapproval with it in this excerpt.
Answer:
The aunt disapproves of the bachelor's story because she disagrees with the moral message it gives to the children.

Carrie can fold 20 shirts in two minutes. If she continues at this rate, how long will it take her to fold 50 shirts?
Answer:
5 Minutes
Explanation:
It would take 5 minutes, this is because she can fold 10 shirts is 1 minutes, so it took her 2 minutes to fold 20 shirts, if you double that you get 40 shirts in 4 minutes, then add 10 to that which took 1 minutes to fold those.

Topic : you are going to make a career out of your hobby,what sort of things will you need to learn ? wat kind of training will you take ?express in 2 para
Answer:
If you were to make a career out of your hobby, you'd need to learn how it actually works. Writers have to learn how books are published, singers need to learn how the music business functions, and dancers need to learn what their expectations are. If you made a career out of your hobby you would most likely need to go to a school. Sure, there are people who do their hobby without having gone to actual training but you almost always need it.
The type of training most people take is when they go to college. They more often than not go through a type of school at least similar to college. Hopefully if you're good at what you do, you'll get into a good school and that will definitely boost your chances. You need, for lack of a better word, experience in your field. If you needed to write a book but didn't know how to write, if you were to play the guitar but had never played one in your life, or were to paint without ever picking up a paintbrush beforehand, you wouldn't make it too far. That is why you need training.

According to the text Mrs Mallard’s initial response to her husband’s death is different from other women because
Answer and explanation:
The Story of an Hour is a short story written by Kate Chopin. It is the end of the 19th century, Mrs. Louise Mallard is notified that her husband Brently lost his life in a railroad accident. She feels a sudden relief and a sense of upcoming freedom. So, her reaction differs from expected because she is not sad, nor she cries. She sits by the window and imagines the most beautiful scenarios involving all the things she can do, now when her husband is not alive anymore, and thus can not control her activities and life generally. She did not hate Mr. Mallard, on the contrary, she loved him, but she also loved the freedom that was unexisting to her. The story ends in a way that Mr. Mallard comes home as the news about his death was not correct. Louise gets a heart attack seeing him in front of her as all her dreams of independence get shattered. Doctors said that she died of joy because she realized that Brently is not dead, while the real reason was that she could not stand the comeback to reality after an hour of dreaming.
According to the text, Mrs. Mallard’s initial response to her husband’s death is different from other women because she feels now that she is capable of doing everything now that her husband is deceased and she is no longer able to control her activities or her life as a whole.

For this I need to have enough money, and quite possibly a second job to earn that money, unless that is if you don't already have a farm. Depending on what type of farm I would like I will get those certain things. Like say I want to grow my own crops such as corn. I would need land and seeds to plant to grow the corn. Lets say I want to be a cattle farmer I will need the cows, and milking stationaries. Lets say I want to be a pig farmer. The I'd need to get good pigs to breed, and fatten up to get butchered.
