The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house. I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall. Then there was a boom as Tom Buchanan shut the rear windows and the caught wind died out about the room, and the curtains and the rugs and the two young women ballooned slowly to the floor.

Answer:
Explanation: gleaming white against the fresh grass outside
blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding cake of the ceiling
rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea
Explanation:
''gleaming white against the fresh grass outside'' in describing the image of the windows that are considered as the subject of the sentence. It is describing how the look with adjectives such as gleaming and white and it is describing also how opposite is the grass outside that is fresh.
After that, we can see a description of the breeze and its actions, we can see that it blew curtains and how the breeze did it ''twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling''.
The third sentence here is describing the curtains that are making a shadow.:
Rule A: If a word ends in e and the suffix begins with a vowel, usually the e is dropped before the suffix is added.
Rule B: When a word needs a vowel to help its pronunciation, the e is retained when adding a suffix.
Rule C: When a word needs a vowel to keep its meaning, the final e is retained.
Rule D: The final e of the word is usually retained if the suffix begins with a consonant.
Form a new word, following the rules given above.
arrange + -ment =
Type the letter of the rule being followed, A, B, C, or D.
Rule:
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Rule A. doesn't apply, because the e is not dropped.
Rule C. doesn't either, because there is no word spelled arrang
Rule D. could apply, but B makes more sense, because like I said in rule C, if it was spelled arrang, it would not be pronounced a-rain-j

Sonnet XII
by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Carrie’s War
Many large towns and cities in Britain were bombed during the Second World War (1939 – 1945). In an effort to keep them safe, many children from towns and cities were sent to live in the country, usually staying with families. This was called being evacuated, and the children were known as evacuees.
In Carrie’s War by Nina Bawden, Carrie and her brother Nicholas are evacuated from London to Wales. In this extract, they have just boarded the train and it is pulling out of the station, leaving their mother on the platform.
________________________________________________________________________________
Sheep and mountains. “Oh, it’ll be such fun,” their mother had said when she kissed them goodbye at the station. “Living in the country instead of the stuffy old city. You’ll love it, you see if you don’t!” As if Hitler had arranged this old war for their own good, just so that Carrie and Nick could be sent away in a train with gas masks slung over their shoulders and their names on cards round their necks. Labelled like packages – Caroline Wendy Willow and Nicholas Peter Willow – only with no address to be sent to. None of them, not even their teachers, knew where they were going.
“That’s part of the adventure,” Carrie’s mother had said, and not just to cheer them up: it was her nature to look on the bright side. If she found herself lost in the jungle, she’d just say, “Well, at least we’ll be warm.”
Thinking of her mother always making the best of things (or at least pretending to; when the train began to move, mother stopped smiling) Carrie nearly did cry. There was a lump like a pill stuck in her throat. She swallowed hard and put on a serious face.
Answer number 1. What does the word evacuate mean as it is used in the passage?
Answer number 2. Which of the following words BEST describes Carrie's mother?
Last question, number 3. What kind of figurative language is used in the following sentence?"There was a lump like a pill stuck in her throat. "
The evacuation of civilians in Britain during the Second World War was designed to protect people, especially children, from the risks associated with aerial bombing of cities by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk.
Operation Pied Piper, which began on 1 September 1939, officially relocated 1.5 million people. There were further waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation from the south and east coasts in June 1940, when a seaborne invasion was expected, and from affected cities after the Blitz began in September 1940. There were also official evacuations from the UK to other parts of the British Empire, and many non-official evacuations within and from the UK. Other mass movements of civilians included British citizens arriving from the Channel Islands, and displaced people arriving from continental Europe.
Child evacuees from Bristol arriving at Brent in Devon in 1940
The Government Evacuation Scheme was developed during summer 1938 by the Anderson Committee and implemented by the Ministry of Health. The country was divided into zones, classified as either "evacuation", "neutral", or "reception", with priority evacuees being moved from the major urban centres and billeted on the available private housing in more rural areas. Each zone covered roughly a third of the population, although several urban areas later bombed had not been classified for evacuation.
In early 1939, the reception areas compiled lists of available housing. Space was found for about 2,000 people, and the government also constructed camps which provided a few thousand additional spaces.
The government began to publicise its plan through the local authorities in summer 1939. The government had overestimated demand: only half of all school-aged children were moved from the urban areas instead of the expected 80%. There was enormous regional variation: as few as 15% of the children were evacuated from some urban areas, while over 60% of children were evacuated from Manchester, Belfast and Liverpool. The refusal of the central government to spend large sums on preparation also reduced the effectiveness of the plan. In the event, over 3,000,000 people were evacuated.
Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
The Hunley recovery team planned to display Diane’s casts in a museum that was about to be built. But did the casts belong in a public exhibit? Some people objected to displaying soldiers' remains—even though they were plastic replicas. Diane saw nothing wrong with it. In fact, she had no qualms about showing the real bones.
"If people want to really learn about the soldiers,” she said, "you have to show the bones. The bone is a record of a person’s life, especially the last part—the circumstances of death.”
How and why did the Hunley sink? What can we learn about the lives—and deaths—of its ill-fated crew? Scientists will likely be investigating the answers for years to come, thanks in part to Diane’s casts.
What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt?
The author disagrees with Diane France and her decision to show the soldiers' bones at a museum.
The author appreciates Diane France for helping scientists by making casts of the soldiers' bones.
The author believes that Diane France should have done more to help the scientists understand the Hunley submarine.
The author hopes Diane will use her skills on military intelligence missions in the future.

By the end of the day, Gabe had made it to the state finals, and he felt a lot better about himself.

We should organize a student-run organic garden on our school grounds. Organic food is expensive, but one school in our region, Dickinson Middle School, was able to add an organic vegetable option to every meal while raising their food cost by only 1 percent. Nearby Browning Junior High did so with only a 2 percent increase. Students were healthier, and the administrators didn't have to fret about the budget. On the opposing side, some worry that students won't like the organic options, and we'll end up with a surplus of food and a problematic budget. The truth is that no nearby school that's tried such a program has ended up with any food surplus. Let's start a student-run organic garden today.
