Which statement provides a likely purpose of having
the children gather the stones?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands.

Which line from the excerpt provides clues about the setting?

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes.

Imagine you have a test at school tomorrow. You stay out late and see a movie with friends. You know that when you study the night before, you get good grades. What do you think will happen on tomorrow's test?

i need to write an essay about "a telephone call that changed my life" do u guys have any idea?​

Answers

Answer:

I had just returned home after a hard day’s work as an assistant to a local magazine’s editor. My wife greeted me at the door with a less than enthusiastic smile as she took my office bag. Her cause of concern was the eviction notice that our landlord had finally sent after we’d been unable to pay the last three months’ rent. Alongside the eviction notice were several other bills that I could not bear to look at for the time being. I had enough on my plate already without burdening my low spirits.

My wife returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner while I switched on the television wondering how we would survive like this. Suddenly the telephone rang and I hesitated before answering in case it might be our landlord. Deciding to face my worst fears, I picked up the telephone receiver with a heavy heart. It was not our landlord. It was destiny calling to inform me that I had just won ten million rupees. It was through a lottery ticket that my wife had insisted on buying. At the time, I had told her that I would rather buy an ice cream cone instead, but I went ahead and bought it to make her happy.

“Because I am a Girl” campaign


Was anyone or anything harmed during this protest or campaign? (deaths, injuries to people or animals, people arrested, property damage)

Answers

In the past, Plan (the charity that runs the Because I Am a Girl campaign) was a well respected charity. They match donors with “foster children” in developing countries and put monthly donations towards the child’s community. My mom always had foster children when I was growing up and she would hang their art work on the fridge alongside that of mine and my siblings.

However, these days, Plan spends an awful lot of money paying staff to harass people on the street. I strongly disagree with that marketing tactic and have reconsidering donating to Plan in the future.
