Read this excerpt from "Water Never Hurt a Man" by Walter D. Edmonds. "I guess I left it a while back. I guess it was in that kind of scrummage we had. I guess it needs a heavier whip anyhow. I guess a man couldn't spare the time going back for it." "Sure," said George. He reached down and took it from its peg, recoiled it, and tossed it ashore. The boat went ahead, slowly, with a sound of water, and of rain falling, and of wind. Which statement best describes the interaction between the characters in this excerpt?
Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:
A. When John talks, George listens. It shows the mutual respect between the two.
B. When John reaches out to George, George ignores him. This shows George’s anger at John.
C. When George turns to John and the boat goes ahead, it shows George submitting to John.
D. When George allows the boat to go ahead, it shows his lack of compassion for John.
Answer:
A. When John talks, George listens. It shows the mutual respect between the two.
Explanation:
As you can see in the excerpt shown in the question above, George does not interrupt what John is saying, on the contrary, he listens to everything John says and when he responds he agrees with him. With that, we can see that there is a relationship of harmony between these two characters, where one shows a strong respect for the opinion of the other that is always well accepted in a conversation between them. In this case, the phrase that best describes the relationship between the characters is: "When John talks, George listens. It shows the mutual respect between the two. "

Ecclesiastes 3:3-8
3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every [a]purpose under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Q: In the passage from Ecclesiastes, what do you think the phrase “a time to cast away stones” means? What does “gather stones together” mean? What modern figures of speech would you use to express these ideas?
PLZZZZZZ HELP.
Answer:
gather stones means i think like gather memories and lose memories
Explanation:
Answer & Explanation::
Chapter three of Ecclesiastes is about how there is a time for everything. 3:5 KJV "a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;" is likely referring to an ancient custom of destroying a farmers field by throwing many stones at it. The Bible is often very literal, sometimes it is hard to tell due to it being written in a very different time. This is why it is very helpful to know who wrote the book and when they did.

its called “The Street That Got Mislaid” – Patrick Waddington
btw search the story on google
Answer and explanation:
“The Street That Got Mislaid” written by Patrick Waddington is a short story that tells us about Marc Girondin, a city clerk that worked in a planning section at the city hall of Montreal. He was known by people for having a precise map of all the streets in town in his head. He was a peaceful man, minding his own business. One day he discovered a misplaced card of a street called Green Bottle street. It has been more than fifteen years since data about it has been updated. Now he was in dilemma should he notify his boss about it. But, first, he decided to go and visit the street. He found the place easily, on the way in, there was a wooden statue that contained the door. When he entered the street, cobble pavement, neat houses, and lovely gardens with flowers made him feel like he entered a fairytale. Girondin started a conversation with one of the tenants, madam Trusdale, who told him about the previous owner, who decided to bestow them all the houses once he`s dead, and how they were paying taxes until they realized that the town had forgotten about them. Madam Trusdale also told him about a little bit about each one of the tenants and how peacefully they were living. So, Marc Girondin finally asked what was in his mind all the time - to become a part of this little community and move in. As a sign that was his real intention, he tore up the card of the Green Bottle Street, which enabled living anonymously in this little piece of heaven for an unlimited amount of time.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each sentence to the type of pronoun it contains. The owner himself was a great baker. objective pronoun The yellow car is his. intensive pronoun The coach told her to try a different strategy. possessive pronoun arrowBoth arrowBoth arrowBoth
Answer:
The owner himself was a great baker. - intensive pronoun.
The yellow car is his. - Possessive pronoun.
The coach told her to try a different strategy. - objective pronoun.
Explanation:
An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that intensifies or lays emphasis on the 'self'/ antecedent. In such pronouns, the end will always have "self" or "selves", as in ourselves, himself, themselves, etc. So, the sentence "The owner himself was a great baker" is an intensive pronoun.
Possessive pronouns are those pronouns that are used to show the possession or belonging of the object. In this type of pronoun, the pronouns will be "his", "hers", "yours", "mine" etc, showing possession. The statement "the yellow car is his" is a possessive pronoun.
An objective pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used or taken as a grammatical object in the sentence. In receiving the action of the verb, the objective pronoun becomes the object in the sentence. So, in the statement "the coach told her to try a different strategy", the pronoun "her" is an objective pronoun.
Finally, I did get across. Late one night me and my wife went. I had gone back to the plantation to get her. Mr. Rankins had him a bell by this time, along with the light. We were rowin and rowin. We could see the light and hear that bell, but it seemed we weren't getting any closer. It took forever, it seemed. That was because we were so scared and it was so dark and we knew we could get caught and never get gone. Which statement best describes the speaker's viewpoint of his escape? He is nervous that Mr. Rankins will make him go back. He is terrified that he will get caught crossing the river. He is worried that he will have to leave without his wife. He is doubtful that he will be free after he crosses the river.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the Uniodd States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of
society following the introduction of machines.
The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments
caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production.
Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The
abundance caused food prices to fall.
The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in
northern factories as a way to support their families.
Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today,
the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.
As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization,
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S.
residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with
more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and
New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.
The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so
quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural
areas.

O In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity.
