A mobile phone is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make and receive calls.

Also, while mobile phones used to be mainly known as "cell phones" or cellular phones, today's mobile phones are more commonly called "smartphones" because of all of the extra voice and data services that they offer.

Answer:Jo agrees to marry Professor Bhaer but would not marry Laurie is explained below in detail.

Explanation:

She was reluctant to consider the approach of any sort of passionate connection but said she loved him devotedly and that she did not think to ever marry anyone, indicating she loved him as a friend. Yet she also stated she felt he was “a fabulous chance too good” for her and after the novel she admired him to be the kind of man all should want to be – so the “she did not acknowledge that way about him” line is need to be discussed. Nevertheless, how could she have come to consider whatever emotions she might have for him as “right,” given her mother’s logic and her lack of experience?

Read the excerpts from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Excerpt 1

By now, it was late Thursday evening. Nixon and the Durrs left and went home. Attorney Fred Gray, meanwhile, had learned about Parks’s arrest, had spoken with Rosa, and agreed to represent her. Then he called Jo Ann Robinson, whom he knew from the Claudette Colvin case, and Robinson, in turn, notified several fellow teachers who were members of the Women’s Political Council. "It was all happening quickly,” Gray recalled. "The mood was electric. This was the beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.”

Excerpt 2

While the women were working, Robinson called Nixon at home to inform him of their plans for a boycott. He too had been busy throughout the night, phoning Montgomery’s black ministers and other civic leaders, urging them to attend a meeting Friday evening to mobilize support for both the boycott and for the legal defense of Rosa Parks.

Which sentence best explains how these excerpts develop the central idea that people were eager to help?

Both excerpts give examples that show the level of the participants’ involvement.
Both excerpts reveal the thoughts of the people involved in organizing the boycott.
Both excerpts name the organizations that became involved in the boycott.
Both excerpts provide direct quotes from some of the original organizers.

What are key details in an informational text?

the most important ideas in the text
information that tells when things are happening
ideas that the author most wants readers to know
pieces of information that directly support the central idea

Please help me. I just need something quick that will help me understand and answer the question.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Under Montgomery’s segregation laws, Claudette was in fact entitled to her seat behind the whites-only section. If no seats were available for blacks to move back to as additional white passengers boarded the bus, then they were not required to give up their seats. That was the official policy. But in actual practice, whenever a white person needed a seat, the driver would order blacks to get up and move to the back of the bus, even when they had to stand in the aisle.

What is the central idea of the excerpt?

-The segregation laws could be unfair to both Black and White bus riders.
-Bus drivers followed the segregation laws even when they were not fair.
-Black riders could be ordered to move even though it was against the law.
-The laws said Black people did not have to give their seats to white people.

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.


What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A- Early matches were dangerous and awkward.
B- John Walker made the first match.
C - Phosphorus was the key to the modern match.
D - Walker's match was better than what came before.

Read the excerpts from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Excerpt 1

Shaken and alarmed, Robinson bolted to her feet and stumbled off the bus in tears, packages falling from her arms. She had made the mistake of sitting in one of the front ten seats, which were reserved for white riders only.

"I felt like a dog,” she wrote later. "And I got mad, after this was over, and I realized I was a human being, and just as intelligent and far more [educationally] trained then that bus driver was. But I think he wanted to hurt me, and he did. . . . I cried all the way to Cleveland.”

Excerpt 2

"I didn’t know what was happening,” she [Claudette Colvin] said later. "I was just angry. Like a teenager might be, I was downright angry. It felt like I was helpless.” She remained locked up at the city jail until she was bailed out later that day by the pastor of her church.

Which sentence best explains how these excerpts develop the central idea that the treatment of Black riders was emotionally harmful?

Both excerpts use the words of those affected to help support the idea.
Both excerpts use the evidence of eyewitnesses to demonstrate the idea.
Both excerpts show that Black people were sent to jail for sitting in the wrong seat.
Both excerpts show that bus drivers did not respect the education of Black people.

From What is a Desert? by Emilia Jackson

Deserts are often described as hot and dry, but only one of those is true all the time. There are hot deserts, but cold deserts exist as well. Some areas, such as parts of Greenland, can have winter temperatures as cold as –2 degrees Celsius! Deserts are defined as areas with very little rain and snow—less than 26 centimeters per year, on average. Although there is usually very little water available in deserts, many plant and animal species make these areas their home.

From Desert Adaptations by Diallo Abara

It may seem surprising that plants and animals can live in the desert. After all, plants and animals need water to survive, and the very definition of a desert is that it is a place with hardly any water. In addition, many deserts are extremely hot during the day. How do plants and animals survive in this harsh climate?

Both plants and animals have adaptations—either behaviors or parts of their bodies—that help them to live in the desert. For example, fennec foxes have large ears that allow heat to leave their bodies more easily. Camels store fat in their humps, which their bodies break down into food and water when those provisions are unavailable. Many small desert animals stay out of the hot sun during the day and come out to eat at night.

How is Jackson’s purpose different from Abara’s purpose?

Jackson provides information about desert climate, while Abara explains how animals can live in the desert.

Jackson gives details about the areas of the world where deserts are found, while Abara explains what a desert is.

Jackson explains how much precipitation falls in a desert, while Abara relates what animals need to survive.

Jackson describes winter desert temperatures, while Abara explains how daytime and nighttime temperatures differ.
