Read this excerpt from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton.

We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too. Not like the Socs, who jump greasers and wreck houses . . . for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next. Greasers are almost like hoods; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and . . . have a gang fight once in a while. I don't mean I do things like that. Darry would kill me if I got into trouble with the police. Since Mom and Dad were killed in an auto wreck, the three of us get to stay together only as long as we behave. So Soda and I stay out of trouble as much as we can, and we're careful not to get caught when we can't. I only mean that most greasers do things like that, just like we wear our hair long and dress in blue jeans and T-shirts, or leave our shirttails out and wear leather jackets and tennis shoes or boots. I'm not saying that either Socs or greasers are better; that's just the way things are.

Which line from this excerpt best supports the author’s message that some things in life are out of people’s control?

“I'm not saying that either Socs or greasers are better; that's just the way things are.”
“Darry would kill me if I got into trouble with the police.”
“Greasers are almost like hoods; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and . . . have a gang fight once in a while.”
“Not like the Socs, who jump greasers and wreck houses . . . for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next.”

Is this a statement or claim? And why?

Select the correct answer.
Here is an excerpt from Marianne Moore's "Poetry" in which Moore expresses her dislike for poorly written poems.

What does Moore mean when she says "imaginary gardens with real toads in them" in this excerpt?

…same thing may be said for all of us—that we
do not admire what
we cannot understand. The bat,
holding on upside down or in quest of something to

eat, elephants pushing, a wild horse taking a roll … all these phenomena are important. One must
make a distinction
however: when dragged into prominence by half poets,
the result is not poetry,
nor till the autocrats among us can be
“literalists of
the imagination”—above
insolence and triviality and can present

for inspection, imaginary gardens with real toads in them,
shall we have
it. In the meantime, if you demand on the one hand, in defiance
of their opinion—
the raw material of poetry in
all its rawness, and
that which is on the other hand,
genuine, then you are interested in poetry.

A.
Poets use abstract concepts because such ideas can be easily understood and make the poem universal.
B.
Poets use abstract concepts, so it is hard to determine the meaning of a poem.
C.
Poetry is inconsequential because it combines ideas illogically, such as imaginary gardens with real-life objects placed in them.
D.
Poets should write at least one poem that includes a pastoral or romantic scene.
E.
Poets must be able to inject real emotion into abstract concepts.

what is the answer to this question marking brainliest if correct Explain​

Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney.

The question before us is, whether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States. On the contrary, they were at that time considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings, who had been subjugated by the dominant race, and, whether emancipated or not, yet remained subject to their authority, and had no rights or privileges but such as those who held the power and the Government might choose to grant them.

Which statement best serves as a counterclaim to the claim in this passage?

Taney fails to provide any actual evidence for his statements that Black people were universally considered inferior.
Taney cannot use states’ rights to claim that the plaintiff is not a citizen, because citizenship is federal.
Taney’s argument that emancipated people were still controlled by White people is false because they were free.
Taney’s argument that Blacks were not citizens is false because their ancestors were forced to come here.

Read the poem below and answer the question.
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
in me thou sees the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self that seals up all In rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lle,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou percelvst, which makes thy love more strong-
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
Which of these is a symbol for life?
night
ashes
fire
the tree's bare boughs

The author's purpose (your argument) in the previous scenario would be:

Story: The Cup that Shines at Night Ann’s eyes fluttered open and she found herself lying in a moonlit grassy field by her friend Mia who was slowly waking up. “Where are we?” Mia asked groggily. “How did we get here?” “I don’t know,” Ann replied. “I wonder how we’ll get home.” An odd purple house with a crooked front door stood nearby. Spying a note tacked to the door, Ann got up and pried it loose. It read: “The cup that shines at night will show the way home.” “What in the world is the cup that shines at night?” asked Mia. “Do you think maybe it’s inside this weird-looking house?” As if the house understood them, the door creaked open. Creeping inside, they saw a table whose surface was covered with all kinds of cups. A tall crystal cup waited to be filled with water. A hefty mug sat next to a delicate china coffee cup, making it appear even more fragile. Towering over the others was a polished silver cup. It looked like the trophy Ann had won in the school science fair. Puzzled, they went outside and collapsed on the porch. They had seen dozens of cups, but none of them was shining. Mia asked if Ann thought they’d ever get home. As she considered Mia’s question, Ann sighed sadly. She gazed at the moonlit sky, hoping desperately that an answer might suddenly appear above them. Then she leapt up, gesturing eagerly skyward. “Look, it’s the Big Dipper! A dipper is a kind of cup, and that dipper is certainly shining! The Big Dipper is made up of seven stars!” “How will the Big Dipper help us get home?” demanded Mia. Ann explained that drawing a line through the two stars at the front of the dipper leads to Polaris, the North Star. “I’ll bet that’s what the note means,” she exclaimed. “We should let Polaris lead us home.” Read the passage. Use the summarizing strategy to make sure you understand what you have read. C o p y r ig h t©M c G r a w -H il l E d u c a t i o n C o p y r ig h t©M c G r a w -H il l E d u c a t i o n
Name Comprehension and Fluency 114 Practice • Grade 5 • Unit 3 • Week 2 Keeping their eyes glued to Polaris, they started walking north. Soon they found themselves on the steep banks of a wide, rolling river. There was no visible means of getting across. Ann wondered it they had made a mistake. Then she spotted a scrap of paper beside the road. Another note, it read: “The wrongly named bird will carry you across.” Mia knew several different types of birds, such as cardinals, seagulls, and hummingbirds. However, she believed none of them was wrongly named. What could be the meaning of the note? Then, from the shadows, a bat flapped silently toward them. Mia turned to run away. She had heard that bats were blind and got tangled in people’s hair. Ann told her that many bats can see as well as people can. They can also find their way by using echoes. By this time, the bat had vanished quietly in the distance. Rounding a curve in the road, they discovered an old covered wooden bridge. A weathered sign said “Bald Eagle River Bridge.” “That’s it!” cried Ann. “The bald eagle is a wrongly named bird! It isn’t bald at all. Its body is covered in brown feathers and it has white feathers on its head. The contrast makes it look bald.” Mia doubtfully eyed the ancient bridge. However, Ann grinned confidently. She was sure the bridge was their route home, and reminded Mia that they would have missed it if she had run away from the bat. They raced eagerly over the bridge. On the other side stood their houses gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Mia wondered why they hadn’t noticed the bridge before. “I don’t know,” mused Ann. “Maybe it’s because we’re . . .” Suddenly her eyes popped open, and she found herself in her suburban backyard as the sun began climbing over the horizon. Snoring at a tremendous volume, Mia lay twitching, then shuddered, and struggled to sit up. Wearing a dazed expression she stammered, “I just had the strangest dream!” 1. How does Ann figure out the meaning of the first note, “The cup that shines at night will show the way home”?
2. How does Ann figure out the meaning of the second note, “The wrongly named bird will carry you across”?
3. What might be the theme, or message, of this story?
