Explanation:
Read the passage.
First Steps
THE LANDING
As the lander hit, Maria drew a jagged breath, and her chest muscles clenched tight with anxiety. Captain Curran, the group leader, turned around and smiled at Maria and her five friends.
“All right,” he said with forced joviality. “Who wants to be the first of the generations born in space to set foot on a real planet?”
Maria waited for someone else to speak or raise their hand. Next to her, Allen just stared at the floor of the lander muttering, “Not me, not me.”
She glanced at Lily, who Maria had always known to be fearless, but Lily bit her lip and turned away. Javier looked positively gray, and the twins buried their faces in their hands. Someone would have to be first. Maria closed her eyes and took a few meditative breaths, waiting for someone else to volunteer, but the lander was silent.
FINDING COURAGE
The radio crackled to life. “Lander one, this is Mothership, do you copy?”
“Yes,” Captain Curran answered. “We’ve landed safely and are waiting to exit the lander, but there’s just a little…disagreement…over which pioneer wants to be the first to set foot on our new home.”
“Tell them there’s plenty for everyone to see, and they’re going to love it out there,” the voice on the radio responded. “I wish it were me instead of you; I miss the feel of real air on my face.”
Captain Curran flipped off the microphone. “You six have lived your entire lives in space, and it’s a great privilege to be the first of your generation to see a new planet. The others are watching; if you’re afraid, they’ll be afraid. Can’t any of you find the courage to set an example?”
Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat and thought of her parents; they had traveled across the galaxy to find their family a new home, with clean air and good soil, and she knew this planet was for them. “I’ll do it, Captain,” she mumbled as she slipped out of her harness and rose out of her seat. Maria couldn’t shake the feeling of trepidation as she stood and watched the doors of the lander slide open.
A NEW WORLD
A burst of air hit Maria in the face. She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes. Then, suddenly, something crunched underneath her boots; she was standing on the surface of the planet, and it felt nothing like the smooth metallic halls that she’d known all her life.
Without letting go of the ladder, she turned around to look at the world around the lander. The soil was full of shapes and textures; there were some small, grainy pieces, then larger clumps that she could break with the toe of her boot. One piece was hard and smooth, and she let go of the ladder to pick it up. “Captain,” she called, “I think I’ve found a rock!”
The air was moving, and long, thin, green things bowed and danced. “Grasses,” Maria whispered to herself, remembering the videos in her science lessons. She let go of the ladder and took soft, slow steps and realized her arms and legs felt like they were full of lead. “Natural gravity,” she whispered to herself. She started to walk a little more quickly, getting used to the new sensation. She was doing what others had previously thought impossible—taking steps on a new world.
A creature with gossamer wings landed on her nose, and she crossed her eyes trying to get a good look at it. Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; she’d never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her.
“That’s the call of a hornbeast,” Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. “Walk to your left a little, and there should be a stream—flowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.”
She started to run in that direction and then paused. “Hurry up!” she yelled, unable to contain her enthusiasm. “Our new home is extraordinary!”
In the story “First Steps,” how does Maria's act of leaving the spaceship to explore the new planet affect the story?
It overwhelms her and she returns to the ship for safety.
She gains the respect of Captain Curran and the other children.
She encounters dangerous animals for the first time.
It gives her friends the confidence to join her.
Answer: I think that the captin Maria's act of leaving is because of maria even bothering in the spaceship of the childeren makes the return safety by the enthusiam that gives downstares the dangerous animal confidance!!!

Is College a scam?
What’s ways it can, and can’t be??
Answer:
college isn't a scam but if they charge a very ridiculous price, then maybe it is a scam. So like for example, in reality classes woud cost 1,000 and to the maximum 3,000,but if they charge you 70,000 or like millions and millions and make up an excuse about the price, then it probably is a scam. But college classes will help you in your career.

Which text from the passage develops the element of suspense?
adapted from Chapter I of The Legends of King Arthur
by James Knowles
The Prophecies of Merlin, and the Birth of Arthur
King Vortigern the usurper sat upon his throne in London, when, suddenly, upon a certain day, ran in a breathless messenger, and cried aloud—
"Arise, Lord King, for the enemy is come. They have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done. Even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste."
At those words Vortigern's face grew white as ashes. Rising in confusion and disorder, he sent for all the best craftsmen and mechanics, and commanded them to go and build him in the furthest of his lands a great and strong castle where he might fly for refuge—"and, moreover," cried he, "let the work be done within a hundred days from now, or I will surely spare no life amongst you all."
Then all the host of craftsmen, fearing for their lives, found out a proper site whereon to build the tower, and eagerly began to lay in the foundations. But no sooner were the walls raised up above the ground than all their work was overwhelmed and broken down by night invisibly, no man perceiving how, or by whom, or what.
The king was filled with mixed rage and fear.He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.The wizards worked their spells, and declared that nothing but the blood of a youth born without mortal father, smeared on the foundations of the castle, could make it stand. Messengers were therefore sent through all the land to find such a child. As some of them went down a certain village street, they saw a band of lads fighting. They heard them shout at one—"Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
At that the messengers looked steadfastly on the lad, and asked who he was. One said his name was Merlin. Another said that his birth and parentage were known by no man. A third said that the foul fiend alone was his father. Hearing the things, the officers seized Merlin, and carried him before the king by force.
But no sooner was he brought to him than he asked in a loud voice, for what cause he was thus dragged there?
"My magicians," answered Vortigern, "told me to seek out a man that had no human father, and to sprinkle my castle with his blood, that it may stand."
"Order those magicians," said Merlin, "to come before me, and I will convict them of a lie."
The king was astonished at his words, but commanded the magicians to come and sit down before him. Then said Merlin to the king—
"I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
This then was done, and the pool discovered far beneath the surface of the ground.
Then said Merlin to the king, "Command this pool to be drained, and at the bottom shall be found two dragons, which now are sleeping, but which at night awake and fight and tear each other."
The king commanded the pool to be forthwith drained. Surely at the bottom of it did they presently discover the two dragons, fast asleep, as Merlin had declared.
But Vortigern sat upon the brink of the pool till night to see what else would happen.
Then those two dragons, one of which was white, the other red, rose up and began to fight. They cast forth fire with their breath. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.
When their battle was done, the king desired Merlin to tell him what it meant. Merlin burst into tears and cried out this prophecy, which first foretold the coming of King Arthur.
A. He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.
B. "Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
C. "I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
D. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.

Climate change could alter the frequency and intensity of forest disturbances such as insect outbreaks, invasive species, wildfires, and storms. These disturbances can reduce forest productivity and change the distribution of tree species. In some cases, forests can recover from a disturbance. The scientists wanted to know if the information gathered by satellites was as good as the information they would get if they gathered it in person. The scientists in this study wanted to discover whether information gathered by satellites could be used to identify the age of tropical rain forests and to estimate the increase in the amount of biomass in growing rain forests. They also wanted to know if information gathered by satellites could be used to estimate the amount of biomass held by old rain forests. In addition to altering plant communities, the study predicts climate change will disrupt the ecological balance between interdependent and often endangered plant and animal species, reduce biodiversity and adversely affect Earth's water, energy, carbon and other element cycles.

A seems like the most logical answer.
Sherlock Holmes listened to the tale and agreed to visit the crime scene. The safe was open and empty, but it was not damaged. There was no visible entry into the room where the safe was kept: the windows were sealed, and the door was not damaged. Mrs. Blakely led Sherlock Holmes farther into the house and stopped in the middle of a hallway of old portraits. There were no windows, and the only door was at the other end of the hallway.
"This spot is where I found the black mask," Mrs. Blakely explained.
Sherlock Holmes inspected the hallway with a wrinkled brow. He walked up and down the hallway. He put his hand on the smooth floor. Then, Sherlock's brow smoothed and a glint entered his eyes. Turning to the wall, he pressed the expensive portrait into the wall.
"What are you doing to my painting?" Mrs. Blakely gasped.

Imagine living in a town with only one bookstore.
You walk in to see one lonely book sitting on the only shelf.
Hungry, you walk down the street to the only fast food restaurant in town. Strangely, there’s only one kind of hamburger on the menu. You have no choice but to order that.
Then you go to your English class and find that you’re the only student this semester.
How boring life would be if there were only one of everything!
Well, never fear, plurals are here to save the day!
Just like the word "Glass" there are many different nouns, and all nouns have a plural form! For example: Glass → Glasses!
What are Nouns?
Web Definition: "a word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things ( common noun ), or to name a particular one of these ( proper noun )."
Nouns are singular, meaning they are only 1 thing, you know them as a naming word. It names a person, an animal, a place, or a thing!
Examples: Teacher, Dog, Restaurant, and baseball!
These are all nouns or singular words!
What are Plural Words?
Web Definition: "(of a word or form) denoting more than one, or (in languages with dual numbers) more than two."
Plural words are the opposite of nouns, they are not singular! Plural words are more than 1 thing.
Examples: Teacher's, Dog's, Restaurant's, Baseball's
These are all plural words or not singular words!
Fast Fun Facts:
▪The plural, gender-neutral form of nieces and nephews is niblings.
▪The word noun comes from a Latin word!

First Passage: The Northern Red Oak
The northern red oak is a grand-looking tree. It can grow as high as 75 feet tall. The fall season brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. Fall also brings changes to the leaves of the northern red oak. Leaves turn from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red, which is an amazing sight. It makes the northern red oak an eye-catching stand out among other trees in the oak family.
In summer, the gray rough branches of the northern red oak grow long and wide. This is the season when branches can become overly long and heavy. The weight of the branches' leaves adds even more pounds. If the growth of the tree is not managed, the entire appearance of the tree can be changed. Early trimming helps groom the tree and keeps it from looking like a rounded triangle by summer's end.
Both the size and the shape of the northern red oak's leaves are especially interesting. It is easy to find leaves that are larger than a man's hand. They often have 8 or more pointed fingers. That makes northern red oak leaves look like large, flattened evergreen trees.
Residents in the Midwest especially enjoy the beauty of their northern red oaks in October. A common sight is to see people walking or relaxing under them. They gaze up, watching the colored leaves dance in the cool fall breeze, knowing that winter will soon come to take the leaves away.
Second Passage: The Hardy Live Oak
The live oak tree is one of the toughest trees found in the United States. It is not a tall tree. It grows only 30 to 40 feet high. But its branches are broad and strong. The branches make up for the tree's rather short height. How? The branches stretch out from the trunk like thick arms on a giant. The leaves on the branches are simple. They are oval in shape. They glisten in the sun. Most importantly, live oak leaves are always there. Live oaks stay green all year round.
The live oak is also a fast growing tree. It is often planted in the lawns of new houses. This lets people living in the house have shade in just a few years. However, the owner of the tree needs to keep the lower branches trimmed. If the lower branches are not trimmed, over time the lower tree limbs will grow downward toward the ground. These branches will seem to almost slither like a snake. In time, they will be only inches above the ground. They will also spread out over the lawn for up to 25 feet from the trunk of the tree.
The live oak tree is popular for a very important reason. It can live in very hot weather. Strong sunlight does not kill it. People in the southern United States see so many live oaks that they no longer really notice them. Live oak trees just blend into the landscape. Yet, live oaks contribute to the landscape in many ways. They provide shade in the summer heat. They also provide food for many animals. Each live oak tree can produce thousands of acorns. Squirrels are just one type of animal that scurries to feast on the little brown nuts. Live oaks are certainly a treasure in hot places with harsh sunny weather.

And The Truth Shall Make You Free: A Speech On The Principles Of Social Freedom
By Victoria C. Woodhull
Our government is based upon this proposition: All men and women are born free and equal and entitled to certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What we ask is simply that the government follow the spirit of this proposition. Nothing more, nothing less. If that proposition means anything, it means just what it says, without limitation. It means that every person is of equal right as an individual. Every person is free as an individual, and he or she is entitled to pursue happiness however he or she chooses. Now this is absolutely true of all men and all women. But just here some people stop and tell us that everybody must not pursue happiness in his or her own way. They say that to do so absolutely would be to have no protection against the action of an individual. These well-meaning people only see half of what is involved in the proposition. They look at a single individual and lose sight of all others. They do not think about how every other individual beside the one in question is equally due the same freedom. They do not consider how each is free within the area of his or her individual sphere. They do not recognize the fact that the moment one person gets out of his sphere and into the sphere of another, that other must protect him or herself against such an invasion of rights. To all such persons we assert: it is freedom and not despotism which we advocate, and we will demand that individuals be restricted to their freedom if it violates that of others.
If life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights in the individual, and government is based upon that inalienability, then it must follow that the functions of that government are to guard and protect the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to the end that every person may have the most perfect exercise of them. And the most perfect exercise of such rights is only attained when every individual is not only fully protected in his rights, but also strictly restrained to the exercise of them within his own sphere, and prevented from proceeding beyond its limits, so as to encroach upon the sphere of another.
From these generalizations, certain specifications can be deduced, by which, all questions of rights must be determined:
1. Every living person has certain rights of which no law can rightfully deprive him.
2. Groups of persons form communities, who form governments to secure regularity and order.
3. Order and harmony can alone be secured in a community where every individual is fully protected in the exercise of all individual rights.
4. Any government which enacts laws to deprive individuals of the free exercise of their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is despotic. Therefore, such laws are not binding upon the people who protest against them, whether they be a majority or a minority.
5. When every individual is secure in the exercise of all his rights, then everyone is also secure from the interference of all other parties.
