"dozing comfortably by the stove of the
run-down tavem in the decayed mining camp
adapted from The Celebrated jumping Frog of Calaveras Cou
by Mark Twain
I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the stove of the
run-down tavern in the decayed mining camp of Angel's. I
noticed he was fat and bald-headed and had a gentle, simple
expression on his calm face. He stood up and said good day to
me. I told him that a friend of mine had asked me to inquire
about a dear companion of his from boyhood named Leonidas
W. Smiley-Reverend LeonidasW. Smiley. He was a young
minister who supposedly was living at one time at Angel's
Camp. I added that if Mr. Wheeler could tell me anything about
this Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley, I would be most grateful.
Simon Wheeler backed me into a comer and trapped me
there with his chair. Then he sat down and reeled off a
monotonous story. He never smiled; he never frowned. He
never changed his volce from the gentle-flowing tone in which
he began his first sentence. He never gave the slightest hint of
enthusiasm. But all through the endless narrative he stayed
Impressively earnest and sincere. This showed me that, far
from thinking there was anything ridiculous or funny about his
story, he thought it was a really important matter. He admired
the heroes of the story as men of great genius. I let him go on in
his own way and never interrupted him once.
"backed me into a corner and trapped me
there with his chair
"admired the heroes of the story as men of
"
great genius

Explanation:

Answer:

It would be wrong to believe that the past was peaceful. One reason why some people might have this impression is that many of the past conflicts feature less prominently in our memories; they are simply forgotten.The absolute number of war deaths has been declining since 1946. In some years in the early post-war era, around half a million people died through direct violence in wars; in contrast, in 2016 the number of all battle-related deaths in conflicts involving at least one state was 87,432.

The decline of the absolute number of battle deaths can be seen in the visualization here that shows global battle deaths per year by world region. There are three marked peaks in war deaths since then: the Korean War (early 1950s), the Vietnam War (around 1970), and the Iran-Iraq and Afghanistan wars (1980s). There has been a recent increase in battle deaths driven by conflict in the Middle East, particularly in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

To answer the question of how many people die in conflicts today, and how this has changed over time, we can turn to a number of different datasets.

Here we show the world conflict death rate since 1989 according to five sources.

There are certainly similarities across the different sources. Overall they show a decline in conflict deaths into the 2000s, followed by an increase this decade.5

But there are also large differences. Most noticeably, there is a large jump in 1994 – marking the Rwandan genocide – which is present in some series, but absent from others.

If you look closely, you’ll see that there are large relative differences between the series over the entire period as well, though they are understated by the 1994 peak. If you hover over the datapoints, you can see the exact figures: the highest figure for a given year is typically well more than double the lowest

Answer:

A. Everyone has a unique set of fingerprints.

Explanation:

A is the only fact. Both B and C are opinions, since they state the feelings or thoughts of a certain person. Not everyone thinks that fingerprints look weird close up (this can't be scientifically proven), and not everyone thinks that it would be great if people memorized their fingerprints (again, this can't be scientifically proven). So, statement A is the only answer which has an actual fact, since we know for sure that each person has a unique set of fingerprints.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)

In About Russell, Rita Williams-Garcia chooses to characterize Mommy as B. A tough and pessimistic woman who does not support her children.

Mommy is pessimistic because she does not believe that the discoveries made by Russell would amount to something worthy.  She always stated that "I ‘bout figured it was nothing."

6. The sentence that best supports the answer to question 5 above is C. "Mommy, who was listening from the living room said, That ain't nothing."

7. The most likely reason that Williams-Garcia continues to mention the chessboard is A. It is during a chess game that she first realizes Russell has mental health concerns.

Thus, in About Russell, Rita Williams-Garcia documents the non-fiction narrative about the life of Russell, her brother, and his gradual descent into mental illness.

When verbs has been modified by the addition of -ing at the end, we either have a gerund or a present participle. Gerunds function as nouns, which means they can be the subject, the object, or the subject complement in the sentence. Present participles function as adjectives or as verbs that are part of a continuous tense.

In the sentence we are analyzing here, the word "applying" is part of a present continuous tense. That means it is a present participle, and it is functioning as a verb. The word "burning" is also a present participle, functioning as an adjective that accompanies and modifies the noun "skin". The word "applying" is a verb that functions as a verb, and "burning" is a verb that functions as an adjective.
