I threw the ball to Yvonne.where is the direct object
Answer:
Yvonne
Explanation:
In grammar, the doer of the action in a sentence is the subject, while the receiver of the action is the object.
There are direct object and indirect object and the difference is the direct object is found in a simple sentence and is the one that receives the action in that sentence.
Therefore, based on the simple sentence,
"I threw the ball to Yvonne.*, the direct object is Yvonne because she is the receiver of the ball

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True
A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High
[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.
[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."
[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.
[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).
[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.
[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

The opening fight scene between the Capulets and Montagues
The Capulet party where Romeo and Juliet meet
The balcony scene
Romeo and Juliet's wedding
For each scene, select a song to represent the tone and story. These can be modern songs or older songs.
BTW if you give me songs that would be great, but if you can just give me what the songs should be about that will suffice.
Answer:
In the opening fight sene you could use a fast paced song like punk rocky maybe like sugar we're going down by fall out boy
for the party I recommend a piece of classical music I quite like "the merry go round of life" by Joe Hisaishi it has no words it is a ballroom song or maybe the way you look tonight by Frank sinatra
For the balcony scene id say kiss from a rose by seal. it seems fitting as in this scene it says "that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet"
The wedding id use a thousand years by Christina perri :)

Question 1 (10 points) (03.01 MC) A video game is on sale at Amazon for 15% off the original price of $24.50. Both Pat and Henri want to purchase the game, but they only have $21 each. They each have to pay 10% sales tax. Pat and Henri have different strategies to calculate the price and decide if they have enough money to get the game. Pat takes 15% of $24.50 and subtracts that from the original price. She takes 10% of the sale price and adds it to the sale price to find the total amount she would have to pay. Henri finds 85% of the original price and then calculates 110% of the sale price. What is the sale price of the video game with tax? (1 point) Will Pat's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. (2 points) Will Henri's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. (2 points) Do they each have enough to purchase the game? (2 points) Explain your answers using complete sentences and show your work. (3 points)
Explanation:
Step one:
The original price of the video game= $24.5
Cash at hand= $21
Discount= 15%
Tax= 10%
1. Pat's strategy
Amount discounted
=15/100*24.5
=0.015*24.5
=$3.675
24.5-3.65
=$20.825
Amount of tax added
=10/100*24.5
=0.01*24.5
=2.45
=20.825+2.45
=$23.275
Hence going by Pat's strategy, the total amount to be paid is
=$23.275
2. Henri's strategy
=85/100*24.5
=0.85*24.5
=$20.825
110% of $24.5
=110/100*24.5
=1.1*24.5
=$26.95
the tax is
26.95-24.5
=$2.45
i. Hence by Henri's strategy, the sales price with tax is
=20.825+2.45
=$$23.275
ii. Yes Pat's strategy will compute the correct total,
15% of $24.5 is $3.68 which is the amount to be deducted as a discount
10% of $24.5 is $2.45 which is the amount to be added as tax
Hence the total amount to be paid is $23.27
iii Yes Henri's strategy also gave the correct total
85% of 24.5 is $20.825
110% of 24.5 of tax is the same as adding 10% of 24.5 to 24.5
= 26.95, substracting the original price we got the tax added
which is $2.45
iv. No, they both don't have enough money to purchase the video game,
because they only have $21 and the game is to be sold for $23.275
In a group discussion, a student says that Frida Kahlo would never have given up on her artwork. Which statement is the best response to this?
I think so, too, because it is obvious that she would never have given up on her artwork.
I agree, because painting helped her express herself and overcome the troubles in her life.
If Frida Kahlo had not kept painting, the art world would have lost out on a great artist.
Maybe Frida Kahlo would have found something that was just as important to her as painting.
Answer: number 2/ b

What are the different factors that are used to measure economy?Numerous indices, earnings reports, and economic summaries are used to measure the economy, including the unemployment rate, quits rate (quit rate in American English), housing starts, consumer price index (CPI), inverted yield curve, consumer leverage ratio, industrial production, bankruptcies, and gross domestic product.
Since it tells us about the size and health of an economy, GDP is important. Real GDP growth rate is frequently utilised.This refers to the state the economy reaches when it is producing the maximum amount it can produce. After months of consistently rising, the gross domestic product stayed the same for two months in a row.
At this point unemployment is at the lowest because there is a lot of production. The GDP however, would not change at the peak because the economy would be producing the maximum it can.
Thus, option A is correct.

Yes, I am relieved because a war is never a good thing. People died everywhere, and families had to send off the men in their families to their deaths. Their older brothers die in the war, even when the war is about to finish. Food and water become harder to obtain and soldiers from the other side of the war raid the defenseless villages.

Explanation:
Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.
Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.
