B. In 1933, the Library of Congress sent John A. Lomax and his son Alan across the country to record folk songs, including blues.
Explanation:
It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.
When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.
Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.
"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."
Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"
The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.
"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."
"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."
The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.
But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"
The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.
"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."
It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.
So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.
And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.
"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."
And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Answer: Effie's father found something strange in her eye, so they kept it to figure out more about the creature.

Alisha is writing a research paper about the effects of driving cars on the environment. She found statistics about cars and air pollution from a group called Save the Planet on its website www.savetheplanet.org. In addition to the information about air pollution, Alisha also saw statements such as “Save the planet, ride a bike” and “Mother Nature wants you to carpool.”
Which statement is the best evaluation of the website’s credibility?
The website is definitely not credible because it is pushing an opinion and Alisha should not use any information from it.
The website might be credible even though it expresses an opinion, and Alisha should check other reliable sources to verify the information before deciding whether or not to use it.
The website is definitely credible because it states proven facts about pollution, and Alisha should not worry about using information from this source.
The website is probably not credible because it is a .org website and .org websites are not credible sources of information, so Alisha should not use any information from it.
Answer:
The website might be credible even though it expresses an opinion, and Alisha should check other reliable sources to verify the information before deciding whether or not to use it.

A. adventurous
B. disliked good food
C. Well-respected
D.cautious
Answer:
D, he was very cautious
Answer:
I would assume the answer would be A
Explanation:
Well-respected, considering he was like every other Hobbit. He wasn't adventurous for he didn't want to go on an adventure at first, he could've been considered cautious, but I don't think so. And I'm more than likely positive it isn't D.

Answer:
The Anglo-Americans have retained the characteristics of judicial power which are common to all nations—
They have, however, made it a powerful political organ—How—In what the judicial system of the AngloAmericans differs from that of all other nations—Why the American judges have the right of declaring the
laws to be unconstitutional—How they use this right—Precautions taken by the legislator to prevent its abuse.
Judicial Power In The United States And Its Influence On Political Society.
I have thought it essential to devote a separate chapter to the judicial authorities of the United States, lest
their great political importance should be lessened in the reader's eyes by a merely incidental mention of
them. Confederations have existed in other countries beside America, and republics have not been established
upon the shores of the New World alone; the representative system of government has been adopted in
several States of Europe, but I am not aware that any nation of the globe has hitherto organized a judicial
power on the principle now adopted by the Americans. The judicial organization of the United States is the
institution which a stranger has the greatest difficulty in understanding. He hears the authority of a judge
invoked in the political occurrences of every day, and he naturally concludes that in the United States the
judges are important political functionaries; nevertheless, when he examines the nature of the tribunals, they
offer nothing which is contrary to the usual habits and privileges of those bodies, and the magistrates seem to
him to interfere in public affairs of chance, but by a chance which recurs every day.
When the Parliament of Paris remonstrated, or refused to enregister an edict, or when it summoned a
functionary accused of malversation to its bar, its political influence as a judicial body was clearly visible; but
nothing of the kind is to be seen in the United States. The Americans have retained all the ordinary
characteristics of judicial authority, and have carefully restricted its action to the ordinary circle of its
functions.
The first characteristic of judicial power in all nations is the duty of arbitration. But rights must be contested in
order to warrant the interference of a tribunal; and an action must be brought to obtain the decision of a
judge. As long, therefore, as the law is uncontested, the judicial authority is not called upon to discuss it, and it
may exist without being perceived. When a judge in a given case attacks a law relating to that case, he extends
the circle of his customary duties, without however stepping beyond it; since he is in some measure obliged to
decide upon the law in order to decide the case. But if he pronounces upon a law without resting upon a case,
he clearly steps beyond his sphere, and invades that of the legislative authority.
The second characteristic of judicial power is that it pronounces on special cases, and not upon general
principles. If a judge in deciding a particular point destroys a general principle, by passing a judgment which
tends to reject all the inferences from that principle, and consequently to annul it, he remains within the
ordinary limits of his functions. But if he directly attacks a general principle without having a particular case in
view, he leaves the circle in which all nations have agreed to confine his authority, he assumes a more
important, and perhaps a more useful, influence than that of the magistrate, but he ceases to be a
representative of the judicial power.
The third characteristic of the judicial power is its inability to act unless it is appealed to, or until it has taken

Read this excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe.
It was open—wide, wide open—and I grew furious as I gazed upon it.
How does this incident provoke the narrator's decision to murder the old man?
The old man has awakened the narrator, enraging him.
The sight of the old man's glassy eye fills the narrator with revulsion.
The narrator is angry because the old man can see him.
The narrator feels nothing but contempt for the old man's fear.
Answer:
This is correct answer: The sight of the old man's glassy eye fills the narrator with revulsion
Explanation:
I took the test
This incident provokes the narrator's decision to murder the old man because - The sight of the old man's glassy eye fills the narrator with revulsion. Therefore option B is the correct resposne.
What is The Tell-Tale Heart?Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Edgar Allan Poe's short novel The Tell-Tale Heart is the narrator. Despite the protagonist's declaration of sanity at the story's outset, the reader soon discovers the narrator suffers from a clear mental disorder.
After all, the old guy was killed as a result of their lunacy and madness. The paranoia, feeling of being watched, and anxiousness are what finally causes the crime. However, it is clear that the protagonist cannot be relied upon and is increasingly unreliable.
The narrator's involvement in the story is crucial because the protagonist's unreliability makes the first-person narration—also known as autodiegetic narration—extremely shaky.

Which detail from “Mary Jackson Biography” best supports this idea?
Mary is chosen to work on a project conducting experiments in a wind tunnel that produces winds at speeds close to twice the speed of sound.
Mary is the first African American female to be trained to become an engineer at NASA.
She changes jobs and even takes a pay cut so she can be in a position to help other women working at NASA to move ahead.
She becomes frustrated when she is only able to achieve a certain level in her career as a black female.
own path to an engineering career at the NASA Langley Research Center was far from direct. A native of Hampton, Virginia, she graduated from Hampton Institute in 1942 with a dual degree in Math and Physical Sciences, and accepted a job as a math teacher at a black school in Calvert County, Maryland. Hampton had become one of the nerve centers of the World War II home front effort, and after a year of teaching, Mary returned home, finding a position as the receptionist at the King Street USO Club, which served the city’s black population. It would take three more career changes—a post as a bookkeeper in Hampton Institute’s Health Department, a stint at home following the birth of her son, Levi, and a job as an Army secretary at Fort Monroe—before Mary landed at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory’s segregated West Area Computing section in 1951, reporting to the group’s supervisor Dorothy Vaughan.
Explanation: Mary Jackson began her engineering career in an era in which female engineers of any background were a rarity; in the 1950s, she very well may have been the only black female aeronautical engineer in the field. For nearly two decades she enjoyed a productive engineering career, authoring or co-authoring a dozen or so research reports, most focused on the behavior of the boundary layer of air around airplanes. As the years progressed, the promotions slowed, and she became frustrated at her inability to break into management-level grades. In 1979, seeing that the glass ceiling was the rule rather than the exception for the center’s female professionals, she made a final, dramatic career change, leaving engineering and taking a demotion to fill the open position of Langley’s Federal Women’s Program Manager. There, she worked hard to impact the hiring and promotion of the next generation of all of NASA’s female mathematicians, engineers and scientists.
Answer:
she was the first black lady to work at nasa she did multiple jobs to keep up working and her life and back then she had a limit to what she can get to as a black women just like now

The rise in popularity of farmers' markets has caused many people to rethink their use of regular grocery stores. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Farmers' markets have fresh and local produce, and often you get a chance to meet the people who grow your food. This isn't the case with grocery stores, where you'll never get to meet the farmers. Grocery stores are starting to have more local products, though, and they have a better variety of goods. Another thing to consider is the setting itself. Farmers' markets are usually in more pleasant, open-air locations where there's often live music playing. Grocery stores, on the other hand, can be busy and uncomfortable if you don't like shopping. The pleasant atmosphere comes at a price, though, as your bill at a farmers' market is likely to be 25 percent more than at a grocery store. All in all, the freshness and quality of food is worth a little more money. Farmers' markets are the way to go.

Have you ever thought jellyfish were bad? Imagine a swarm of jellyfish came at you. What would you do? Jellyfish are becoming a concern; they are swarming fishing nets and affecting power plant pipes. These fish have reduced the number of fish and are clogging power plant pipes. These fish pose a threat to our economy, what will we do about it?
The jellyfish has ruined fish harvesting and drastically decreased fish numbers. The jellyfish have affected the fish population and ruined the power plants. The jellyfish sting and harm the fish, so they are swarming the fish away. The jellyfish continue to clog the pipes in the power plants, so they are forced to shut down the plant.
The fish have caused many problems for fishers and for power plant workers. The fish are dangerous and are becoming the pests of the ocean. The solution to some of these problems are to use some extra precaution and smaller nets. These fish are a harmful and pesty problem for today's Economy. The workers should not be the people to worry about the jellyfish.
The major solution to this problem is to cut down on pollution. The reason for this is so the jellyfish have nothing to feed on. The reason for these swarms and clogging is because the jellyfish feed on the trash and pollution. These fish are a threat to our economy and are a danger to humans and animals. The jellyfish solution should be started immediately.
The jellyfish problem should be solved soon because if it doesn’t the jellyfish will take over. The jellyfish could continue to harm the fish and clog the power plant pipes. The problem will continue if we don’t do anything about it. Jellyfish are an example of the economy's many large problems, will this problem end the same?
