Explanation:
The soldiers were awestruck when they saw the village of the Bishnois, yet they were ready to destruct that peaceful and healthy environment. In what way would they not only damage the environment, but the faith and trust of people as well?
Answer:
The Bishnoi faith is a religious offshoot of Hinduism founded on 29 principles, most of which promote environmental stewardship. Bishnois strictly forbid the harming of trees and animals. The religion was founded by Guru Maharaj Jambaji in 1485 AD in the Marwar (Jodhpur) desert region of western Rajasthan, India. Jambaji witnessed the incessant clear-cutting of trees during times of drought to feed animals, only to see them die eventually as the drought continued. He also recognized the importance of trees within his local ecosystem (keeping animals alive) and banned cutting down green trees and killing birds or animals. Jambaji's spiritual reverence for nature led to a tradition of harmony with the local ecology: in the middle of an arid desert region, the Bishnois are famous for cultivating lush vegetation, caring for animals, and collecting drinkable water.
In 1730, almost 300 years after Guru Jambaji's 29 principles were recorded, the maharajah (king) of Jodhpur wanted to build a new palace. He sent soldiers to gather wood from the forest region near the village of Khejarli, where Bishnoi villagers had helped foster an abundance of khejri (acacia) trees. When the king's men began to harm the trees, the Bishnois protested in anguish but were ignored by the soldiers, who were under royal orders.
Amrita Devi was a female villager who could not bear to witness the destruction of both her faith and the village's sacred trees. She decided to literally hug the trees, and encouraged others to do so too, proclaiming: “A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree.” Bishnois from Khejri and nearby villages came to the forest and embraced the trees one by one to protect them from being cut down. As each villager hugged a tree, refusing to let go, they were beheaded by the soldiers. This voluntary martyrdom continued until 363 Bishnoi villagers were killed in the name of the sacred Khejarli forest.
Once word got back to the King about this activity he rushed to the village and apologized, ordering the soldiers to cease logging operations. Soon afterwards, the maharajah designated the Bishnoi state as a protected area, forbidding harm to trees and animals. This legislation still exists today in the region.
In memory of the 363 Bishnois, who died protecting their dear trees, a number of khejri trees are planted around the area, which is still notably lush and rich with animal life. The Bishnoi sacrifices became the inspiration for a much larger Chipko movement that is still growing today, in which villagers physically embrace trees to save them from logging.

Read both passages and answer the question.
Passage 1: Excerpt of John Muir's "Calypso Borealis"
[1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion.
[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy…
[6] Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends.
Passage 2: William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Both passages use the word "lonely" in their first sentence. In a paragraph of 4-6 sentences, explain how each author feels about his loneliness and how nature takes away their loneliness. Use evidence from both texts to support your answer.

The answer is B (What will happen next?).
Explanation:
Neon signs are often placed in storefronts to attract customers. The very first display of glass tubes filled
with colorful, ignited neon gas was meant to attract only attention, however. In 1910 at the Paris Exposition,
two straight tubes filled with lit neon gas were displayed to show off the new technology. It was not until
1912 that glass tubes were bent into a written message and put in the window of a barber shop to entice
people to come in
Question
According to the passage, the tubes displayed at the Paris Exposition were
placed in the window of a barber shop
designed to attract customers to purchase goods
meant to attract attention to a new technology
used to convey a written message
Answer:
In 1912 Claude installed the first-ever neon advertising sign in a Parisian barbershop on the Boulevard Montmartre. A large rooftop sign for the Italian vermouth maker Cinzano soon followed, along with illumination for the entrance of the Paris Opéra. Ne or neon gas is used for advertising signs, as are other noble gases. ... The gas itself has no color until an electric charge is applied that alters the structure of the Ne molecules. Neon gas only produces a reddish orange color light, so other inert gases are used to make other colors.

Answer:
Captain Nemo, probably the most famous character created by the godfather of science fiction, 19th-century French writer Jules Verne, was a broken genius driven to acts of evil by the desire for revenge. He was the better known as the submarine maker. His mysterious and enigmatic style - equal parts hard and vengeful and calm and feeling - leads readers to never quite understand who he is or what he's about.
He was tall and bold and has wide-set eyes. His sharp fetures with a well defined long nose made it hard for author to tell his age, whether he was 30 or 50.
Unlike other famous fictitious characters, he's a villain

Read the excerpt. Because the endangered panthers living in the forests need large, connected territories to roam. What is the best review of this excerpt?
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. They are as follows:
A. The excerpt does not need revision because it contains an independent clause that completes the writer's thought.
B. The excerpt does not need revision because it contains a dependent clause that completes the writer's thought.
C. The excerpt should be revised because it contains an independent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
Answer:
The best review of the excerpt is:
D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.
Explanation:
An independent clause expresses a complete thought on its own, which means it can stand alone as a sentence. On the other hand, a dependent clause cannot do the same, because it expresses an incomplete thought. Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions such as "because", "although", "when", "since", etc.
The excerpt we are analyzing here is an example of dependent clause. Notice that it begins with the subordinating conjunction "because" and that an idea is missing in the end:
"Because the endangered panthers living in the forest need large, connected territories to roam..." what? Because of that, what should happen? What should we do? See how the message is incomplete? Just as an example, let's complete this sentence with another idea:
- Because the endangered panthers living in the forest need large, connected territories to roam, we should protect large areas of wilderness.
See how it sounds better now? The message of the sentence is complete.

D) The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer’s thought unfinished.

following phrases would change the author's diction without changing the
tone?
A. Hopeless despair
Ο Ο
B. Discouraged feeling
C. Optimistic outlook
D. Eager anticipation
SUBMI
Answer:
B. Discouraged feeling
Explanation:
Depserate anguish depicts a negative connotation, this means has to do with his state of mind. Hence, evaluating the options given, eager anticipation has no negative connotation and hence will not fit the phrase. Similarly, the word optimistic outlook has no negative connotation either and doesn't fit as well.
Hopeless despair has a negative connotation as well and could be considered, however, a hopeless despair could be termed to mean a state where one feels all his lost or irreparable. This has taken the meaning too far. Therefore, a discouraged feeling seems the most appropriate.

Design an appropriate type of meaningful drill you will use to teach the grammar topic, Noun Clause, to SHS 2 students.
Answer and Explanation:
A meaningful drill suitable for teaching students what a substantive clause is would be a list with several sentences where some contain the substantive clause and others do not. In this case, students should identify the sentences that contained the substantive clauses and underline these clauses.
It is important to point out that the noun clause is the dependent clause that replaces the noun, which is the class of words that gives name to any element. An example of this noun clause can be seen in the sentence "She was frightened by the sight in front of her," where the term "the sight in front of her" replaces a noun and is therefore a noun clause.
In addition, it is important to remember that a meaningful drill is an exercise where the resolution depends on the understanding of the subject discussed.
