Read the passage.
It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.
Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.
As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.
Which information best supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live?
A. There are differences of latitude, soil, and climate among the deserts.
B. The desert has pockets of people that are dispersed and isolated.
C. There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.
D. The desert has a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles.
Answer:
The answer is C: There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.
Explanation:
the other answers do not support the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live because they do not say why or how, while answer C tells some examples of why the desert is a difficult place to live in, such as extreme temperatures or high winds. This is why answer C supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live. I hope this helped!

adapted from To My Old Master
This letter was written by Jourdon Anderson, a person who escaped slavery during the Civil War. The letter is addressed to the man who once held him in slavery, Colonel P.H. Anderson. After the Civil War, Colonel Anderson’s plantation was failing, and he wrote Jourdon to ask him to return to work the fields and help him save his business.
Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865.
To my old Master, Colonel P. H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee.
Sir:
I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt and am glad you are still living. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance . . .
I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children, Milly, Jane, and Grundy, go to school and are learning well . . .
As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At $25 a month for me, and $2 a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to.
From your old servant,
Jourdon Anderson
P.S.— Say howdy to George Carter and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

One day I woke up got dressed and went downstairs to greet my mother and father. When I went down I saw a handsome boy sitting in our living room he looked kinda familiar. Then my mother and a woman her age came out and said good morning I replied in a cold voice moring. The strange woman said don't you remember me Yu-Jun. I was very shocked when she knew my name but I had a cold look on my face the whole time. I replied no am I supposed to know you.

The reason I am cold now because I had no other friend than him and when he left I cried so hard and that's when I started to become cold and I didn't speak that much. I would only speak In class or when I needed to. I was zoned out till Seo-Jun spoke again saying I need to talk to you and Sun-oh my ex-bestie. I then said fine what do you want to talk about she said let's go in the living room then we went to the living room and they made me sit next to him but I kept my distance. Then she said something very unexpected. She said we you and Sun-oh are getting married. I said what why do I have to marry a mn that I don't even know he's a complete stranger. My mom spoke she told me to apologize I said no and I won't marry him and went to my room in anger. My mom apologizes when Mrs.Jeon aka Seo-Jun said it's fine give her time it's very suprising to her

Explanation:
hello, can someone write a story on why I should get a later bedtime using all 10 of these words it doesn't have to be long, and please keep it appropriate. Glance Agony Abrupt Frantic Cacophony Homophone Premonition Prevent Biography Biology
Answer:
I believe I should have a later bedtime because it allows me more time to study/do homework such as biology without premonition! At first glance, staying up later means "less" sleep causes the brain agony because of the abrupt change in sleep, creating frantic feelings. But I think it instead prevents cacophony due to the quietness, and in the end creates a more productive environment.
Explanation:
Answer:
See below:
Explanation:
What a fun prompt! I hope this is what you're looking for!
Dear (whoever is supposed to be reading this paragraph. you fill in),
I cannot prevent my frantic scrambling to get assignments done, finish my studying, and do the things I want to do like (insert hobby or sport here), with such an early bedtime. By the time I finish one homework assignment and glance at the clock, it's already (insert what you think is a late time)! Take today as an example. I had to write a biography for English, had over 2 hours of Biology homework, and I had to figure out the meaning of words like cacophony, premonition, and homophone for this poetry assignment I was doing! By the time I have any spare time to do the things I want to do, it comes to an abrupt stop because (insert your current bedtime) comes! The agony of never being able to finish (insert a project you want to do) or even read (insert book name) is driving me crazy!
For these reasons, I think you should let me have a later bedtime.
Sincerely, (name here)
I hope this wasn't too long, I was having a lot of fun with it!

Rico the character is being described on everything he is wearing or how he looks and the dialogue is just used one, I think the setting is just the classroom nothing else and it isn't telling anything about the plot so I don't think any of what is being tell will apply much in the story.

Explanation:
Answer:
Story below :)
I calmly woke up thinking everything was great! The sun was shining, birds chirping. I went downstairs to eat breakfast before I got ready for school. I saw my mother and said hello... but she replied "Where are you honey?". I hastily replied "I'm right here mom" but she still did not see me. I rushed to the bathroom and realized "I WAS INVISIBLE!" I was scared and nervous at first but then I realized.... "I don't have to go to school!!" I was very excited about that so I walked to the ice cream truck and got ice cream for free! I was thinking of what to do and realized "I can go to school and get all of the drama and secrets". That's when I saw the school bus taking people to school. But then again I was still in my pajamas... but nobody could see me I was invisible! I got on the bus and we got to school much faster than it normally takes. I had to remember to be very quiet although I was invisible everyone could still hear me! I walked inside of my school and saw my best friends! I wanted to go say hello to them but instead just walked up and listened. They were talking about me! I heard one of them say "How should we arrange this" and then the other said "Hmm not sure but she is going to be so surprised" I started to think what if they are going to embarrass me in front of everyone or maybe something even worse! I started getting very nervous. I left school quickly and saw the time. School was almost over! I was wondering where all the time went but then remembered waking up and my friends not being there. I must have passed out from being so nervous! I went into my all of my classrooms and grabbed copies of the work so i could do my work and bring it in tomorrow. I went home and sat down. "Time to get this work done" I said to myself. I finished the first assignment but then I got distracted and next thing I know i'm sleeping and it is 7 in the morning. "Wow I fell asleep not finishing my work.. oh well" I shrugged. I jolted out of my seat "Maybe i'm not invisible!" I saw that I wasn't invisible! I did enjoy being invisible but I like being able to hang out with my friends and family more.
