Passage 1
According to a biblical story, a father once divided his inheritance between his two sons. The younger son left home and spent his share on wasteful and luxurious things. After he spent his fortune, he returned to his father. He begged his father to hire him as a servant so that he wouldn’t have to go hungry. The father, however, quickly forgave the son and asked his servants to dress him in rich clothing. To celebrate his son's return, he asked his servants to slaughter a fattened calf for a celebratory meal. The younger son in the story is often referred to as the prodigal son.
Passage 2
The first thing Maddison noticed as she entered Earl's Diner was the new barstools and counter. But then her attention moved to the walls, the ceiling, the lighting, the waitresses, and even the menu. Everything had undergone a drastic change.
The owner of the diner stood behind the counter. "So, what do you think?" he asked a bit anxiously. “I just inherited some money from my dad and thought I’d use it to fix up this place.”
"Earl, you must be your father’s prodigal son," Maddison said, as she glanced again at the whole diner.

Select the correct answer.
Read the two passages. Then answer the question.
What can you conclude about the second passage based on the story in the first passage?
A.
Earl's Diner looks worse after the renovation work.
B.
Maddison is jealous of Earl's inheritance from his father.
C.
Maddison thinks Earl wastefully spent money on his diner.
D.
Maddison is glad to see a different menu in Earl's Diner.
Answer:
C. Maddison thinks Earl wastefully spent money on his diner.
Explanation:
What these two passages have in common is the presence of a prodigal son. A prodigal son is someone that spends money recklessly and freely, in other words, someone wasteful. Just like the son from the first story who wastes all his money in a recklessly extravagant way, the son from the other story, also wasted his money freely on the diner. Undoubtedly, Maddison thinks Earl wastefully spent money on his diner.

Explanation:
Miep. I made up the beds . . . The way Mr. Frank and Mr. Kraler said. (She starts out.) Forgive me. I have to hurry. I've got to go to the other side of town to get some ration books for you. Mrs. Van Daan. Ration books? If they see our names on ration books, they'll know we're here. Mr. Kraler. There isn't anything . . . Miep. Don't worry. Your names won't be on them. (As she hurries out) I'll be up later. Why is it important that the Van Daan and Frank family names do not appear on the ration books? The families do not believe in the ration books system, because it is unfair. The families are getting extra rations, and they do not want anyone to know. The families are in hiding, so no one can know they are receiving rations. The families do not understand the ration system, so they do not want to be a part of it.
Answer:
It is important that the Van Daan and Frank family names do not appear on the ration books because:
C. The families are in hiding, so no one can know they are receiving rations.
Explanation:
In this excerpt of "The Diary of Anne Frank," we can see how concerned Mr. Frank and Mr. Van Daan feel when Miep tells them she will get ration books for them. The two families are hiding from the Nazi regime in Miep's home. If the government finds out where they are, they will be taken away to concentration camps. However, Miep settles their worries by assuring them their names will not appear on the ration books. As we know, the Nazi regime was responsible for the killing of around 6 million Jews as well as of 5 million people belonging to several other groups, such as homosexuals, blacks, Gypsies, and others.

THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton
Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.
He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!
A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.
"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.
"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."
"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"
"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."
Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.
The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.
"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."
"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."
The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"
Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."
"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.
With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.
Read the following line from the text:
"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."
What can be inferred about Kenniston from this line?
He can take his time getting to the asteroid.
He must rush to get to the asteroid.
His urgency is unnecessary.
He is confident that they will get there in time.

Which sentence best shows the homes the Taos people built were structurally sound?
Taos Pueblo
The Taos Pueblo, home of the Taos, or Red Willow people, sits at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico. There are two buildings at the pueblo (pueblo means village in Spanish). They were built in the 1300s, and the Red Willow people have lived in them ever since. These homes have been continuously occupied for over 700 years.
About 150 people live in the centuries-old, multi-storied buildings made of adobe brick (dried mud and straw). These structures look like apartment houses. The rooms are built one on top of another. They are staggered, so the roofs of some lower rooms can be used as patios for those above. Only a few changes have been made to the buildings since they were built. They now have fireplaces and external doors. But the Red Willow people have not brought electricity or running water to the pueblo.
The Red Willow people are fiercely independent. In 1680, they rose against the Spanish, who ruled the area at the time. Later, in 1847, they also rebelled against the Americans. They have cherished and guarded their traditional ways through years of contact with other cultures. They still speak the Tiwa language, as well as English. They farm, hunt and raise cattle and horses on their ancestral lands, as their forefathers did. Today, the Red Willow people welcome visitors to the pueblo. Tourists can see two of the oldest buildings in the United States and see people living there in much the same way they did 700 years ago.
So I picked "But the Red Willow people have not brought electricity or running water to the pueblo", but I'm not sure because it can also be "Only a few changes have been made to the buildings since they were built."
I'll come back and fix my answer if I'm wrong or just confirm that my anser is correct if I'm right ^^
Answer:
"Only a few changes have been made to the buildings since they were built"

Denise is checking to determine if the expressions x + x + 6 and 4 + 3 x minus 2 are equivalent. When x = 4, she correctly found that both expressions have a value of 14. When x = 2, she correctly evaluated the first expression to find that x + x + 6 = 10.
What is the value of the second expression when x = 2, and are the two expressions equivalent?
The value of the second expression is 2, so the expressions are equivalent.
The value of the second expression is 4, so the expressions are not equivalent.
The value of the second expression is 8, so the expressions are not equivalent.
The value of the second expression is 10, so the expressions are equivalent.
Answer:
The value of the second expression is 8, so the expressions are not equivalent.
Explanation:
Given expressions:
x + x + 6 and 4 + 3 x - 2
When x = 4
Put x = 4 in both expression;
Expression 1 :
x + x + 6 = 4 +4 + 6 = 14
Expression 2 :
4 + 3x - 2 = 4 + 3(4) - 2 = 14
When x = 2
Put x = 2 in both expression ;
Expression 1 :
x + x + 6 = 2 + 2 + 6 = 10
Expression 2:
4 + 3x - 2 = 4 + 3(2) - 2 = 8
Answer:
The value of the second expression is 8, so the expressions are not equivalent.

How do aspects of the setting (specifically the Valley of ashes and the two eggs) in the Great Gatsby contribute to the overall meaning of the text and to the development of the plot?
Answer and Explanation:
The Valley of ashes is a place created by the dumping of industrial waste, being an inhospitable place and a decadent and bad environment. It symbolizes the supremacy of the wealthy over the poor and how the wealthy had relieved responsibility for their actions and the consequences they caused the poorest population. In other words, this scenario reinforces the moral decadence of the rich, the lack of resources of the poor and a strong difference between these two social classes.
East and West Eggs, on the other hand, symbolizes discrepancy and corruption and fallacy within the upper social class, the wealthy. This is because one of the egs represents the people who were born rich and who has a strong influence in society, while the other egg represents the people who became rich through corruption and illegal work, who try at all costs to receive the admiration of those who were born rich.
This is for people who need help with it on edge.
