1. What is the main idea of these two sentences?
Many flowers are what we call annuals, their entire life cycle — from seed to death — takes just one year. They might leave behind sleeping seeds that could sprout again in the future, but the flowers, roots, stems and leaves all fade away as soon as the season is done.

Annuals only live for one year and will not return.

WRONG: The life cycle of a plant is seed to death

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

Answer:
It suggests that Scarborough's study misleads people to think that it's enough to just cut meat out of their diet to help the environment.
Explanation:
The section "Beyond greenhouse gases" contribute It challenges the idea that eating meat and animal products contributes to more greenhouse gases than eating plant-based foods. In the section it states that Often farmers rely on weed killers and pest killers to improve the size of their crop harvests. Many of those chemicals can be toxic to wildlife and people. Some fertilizers can pollute groundwater. Plowing fields can lead to erosion. That can diminish the fertility of soils.

is this a compound sentence - the were arranged by numbers, the numbers have be given since birth
yes that is a very perfect compound sentence.
Answer:
No. This is a run-on sentence.
Explanation:
If there was some sort of coordinating conjunction between the two parts of the sentence (like "and"), it would be a compound sentence. But because there is no coordinating conjunction, this is a run-on sentence and therefore not grammatically correct.
How has Simone Biles coped with the pressures of fame?
Explanation: As a three-time World Champion, Simone Biles was expected by many to take home the gold in Rio in 2016.
The odds have swiftly turned the 19-year-old into a media darling, which is why she is the latest star to grace the cover of TIME magazine - and is branded in the headline as 'The Game Changer'.
She is so far ahead of the pack that even 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin claims that the 4'8 Texan phenom is 'in a caliber with nobody else in the world'.
However, in an interview with TIME, Simone revealed that there is one serious downside to being the best in the world. ' I feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion - it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen,' she said. 'That kind of stresses me out a bit.'
And the pressure isn't just on Simone to win the individual all-around gold. She will also be expected to help defend the Team gold that the legendary Fierce Five won at the London 2012 Games.
She will be joined in the task by the current Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas, her fellow Fierce Five teammate Aly Raisman, and two other Olympic debuts: Laurie Hernandez, 16, and Madison Kocian, 19.

Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change.
Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.
When Stacey and Carlos returned to the office, Carlos eyed his notepad thoughtfully. Perhaps it was time to add variety into his predictable routine. He opened the notepad to a fresh page and began to draw an office building that reached beyond the clouds.
Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.
Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.
Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.

Please give brainliest! :)
The excerpt is all about the trying of new things that can be an adventure or a simple meal. As in both texts, the characters learn about the importance of trying new things, but one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example, i.e., option D.
What is in the excerpt Time for a Change?The exact meaning of Time for a Change is the things should be changed and it is sort of mandatory to be changed now.
Here, both the characters are changing their choices and overcoming their fear of trying something new.
The only difference between them is that one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example.
Thus, the correct option is D.

Explanation:
The process of which plants make their own food is photosynthesis. Through the chemical process, plants use CO2, sunlight, and water and convert it to sugar (more specifically glucose).
