The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell
Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.
Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.
The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.
So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?
Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.
However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.
With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.
In this article, the author suggests the Loch Ness monster may be a product of people's imaginations. Writing in complete sentences, cite two pieces of evidence the author uses to support this claim. Use details from the article to support your answer. (10 points)
Answer:
The author says that the Plesiosaurus is an airbreather so it would come up for air so it would be spotted very quickly. The author also says that there is no way it has survived since the ice age.

Which choice shows the correct format for the second parenthetical citation of the Jeffrey T. Swan, Dennard Q. Rail, Mary N. Bushcombe (1995) source in a later paragraph in paper, using the following sentence: . In addition, the authors suggested that admissions officers should have frank discussions with applicants that clearly outline what the graduate program demands, expects, and requires of students.
a) demands, expects, and requires of students (Swan, Rail, & Bushcombe, 1995).b) demands, expects, and requires of students [Swan, Rail, and Buschcombe, 1995].c) demands, expects, and requires of students (Swan, Rail & Bushcombe).d) demands, expects, and requires of students (Swan et al., 1995).
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In a parenthetical citation, the structure is (last name of the author, year), which is added at the end of the citation. Moreover, if there are three authors, as in this case, the first citation should include the last names of all of them. However, for the second, third, etc. citations, only include the first author and then the words et al. that indicate the work cited has other authors not mentioned.
In this context, the correct option is "demands, expects, and requires of students (Swan et al., 1995)" because this is the second citation, and therefore only the last name of the first author should be included; also, this is followed by the abbreviation et al. and finally by the year.

Which words create an order of events in the poem?
"friends” and “giggles"
"without" and "words"
"crouched" and "low"
"before" and "finally"
It is the last one
Answer: ''Before'' and ''finally''
Explanation:
With ''Before'' and ''Finally '' readers will easily clarify when and how the events have happened in the poem so they will have a better insight into the theme of it.
It is helping to create and order of the events and readers will know in that case when did some events happen.
The words before and finally will create a ''chronological'' structure which is following the order of already happened events.
Without and words, friends and giggles and crouched and low are not the correct answers because they cannot create a chronological structure.

A word that describes how two words relate to each other in a sentence is an adjective. an adverb. a preposition. a pronoun.
Answer:
A preposition.
Explanation:
If I am incorrect, it's an adverb.
A word that describes how two words relate to each other in a sentence is called an adjective.
Words that describe persons, places, or objects are called adjectives. Adjectives include words like "old," "blue," and "delightful."Generally speaking, an adjective's function is to further define and describe a noun or pronoun. What kind?, Whose is it, and which one?, and other queries are answered with adjectives. A few instances of adjectives in sentences are as follows:John is a big man.New York is a beautful city.This apple is tasty.Nouns are the words being described. Adjectives therefore characterise nouns.Thus, considering adjectives as "describing words" may be helpful.Learn more about adjectives from here-
