Answer:
Focus
(first option listed)
Explanation:
In this story, we can see Justin trying to help Becky calm down to get her thinking straight.
We know that "can't concentrate" is what Justin is trying to help with, so "concentrating" essentially means thinking straight/logically.
In this scenario, we could also describe "thinking straight" as being focused, so it is a synonym for concentrate
(note: synonyms are words that mean the same thing)

English 10H 2nd semester Beginning Synthesis assignment
In the weeks and months following the events of September 11, 2001, there were understandably widespread feelings of anger and rage, along with the feeling of needing payback. They were understandable because that seems to be what human beings do—we lash out at those we perceive to be our enemies, out of fear, confusion, and hatred. At the same time, there was a tangible sense on the part of many Americans that it was a time to pause and reflect on how we got to this point, and what changes could we make as a society to try and see that something like this never happened again. There was a brief feeling that maybe a window was opening for us to reexamine our role and place in the world. Sadly, those feelings didn’t last long, and that window was slammed shut by the forces of normalization, the voices telling us to “get back to business.” In fact, the president at the time encouraged people to “go shopping,” and to “get down to DisneyWorld.”
This is the background for this assignment—the last time something so widespread and dramatic affected all Americans was probably 9/11, and that’s the context for what this asks you to do.
Prompt: Having lived through the last 10+ months of the pandemic, and the disruptions to our ordinary daily lives, and now, with vaccines becoming more widely available, and the plan to return to school, what do you think is possible in the post-pandemic world? On the day before schools shut down, March 16, 2020, Elizabeth Carter asked this question: “What do you think normal will look like on the other side of this?” Your job is to come up with an answer to that question, using your own experience and the 2 articles you read last week (“Coronavirus in 2021 and Beyond: When Will Life Return to Normal?” and “When will 2021 feel normal again? Here’s what eight experts predict”). This is the first exercise in synthesizing information; incorporate ideas from both articles along with your own thinking.
Feel free to include any thoughts you have about what you’ve seen, what you’ve felt, what you’ve experienced, balanced with a few thoughts you read and incorporate. Think about the conversations we’ve had this year about culture, about justice, about the intersection of the pandemic with the protests for racial justice, and about thinking critically about our lives and how to make them better.

Do you think Reyna's parents made the right decision to leave their children and move to the US? The distance between us Can anyone help with this i have to write 5-8 sentences
Answer:
No
Explanation:
As a personal opinion, regardless of the individual details I do not think they made the right decision. Parents have the obligation to do protect and take care of their children always. This responsibility is chosen by the parents when they decided to have children. Therefore, abandoning your children regardless of the reason, I believe is never the right decision. Not to mention that this has been known to traumatize children and leave them scarred for life. This trauma can even lead them to act out and go down the wrong path in life, which can ultimately ruin their lives.

Can you write the climax about a dystopia world?
Answer: i think atlanra
Explanation:
Answer: Hope this helps
Explanation: Dystopian stories about characters or societies grappling with ‘bad places’ like post-apocalyptic wastelands remain popular for several reasons. For one, their situations naturally supply intense conflict, drama and suspense. How do you write a dystopian story? Start with these 5 tips:
1. Start with a strong scenario
Classic dystopian novels and stories begin with a troubled scenario. For example:
Great Britain, now named ‘Airstrip One’, has become a province of a greater territory named ‘Oceania’ ruled by the ‘Party’. The Party uses ruthless ‘Thought Police’ to persecute individualism and independent thought (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
A radical religious group calling itself ‘The Sons of Jacob’ overthrows the United States government. It replaces it with a religious political system based on Old Testament fanaticism, removing women’s rights to read, write, own property and handle money (The Handmaid’s Tale)
We can easily see why each of these would be ‘bad places’ (or dystopian settings) for characters who value their freedoms and rights.
2. Create a believable dystopian world
A believable dystopian world typically presents a keen sense of threat, menace or discomfort.
3. Develop your dystopian settings
Dystopian settings such as cities razed by global conflicts will naturally present characters with many challenges, from dangerous, crumbling infrastructure (environmental challenges) to social issues such as increased lawlessness, mutual mistrust and other social effects.
When developing a dystopian setting, ask questions such as:
Who now has power now, and why?
Who is the most vulnerable in this dystopian society and why?
What still works and what no longer exists?
What do people remember and what have they forgotten (e.g. names, cultural practices, people, places)? 4. Create conflicts, threats and challenges
Because a dystopia is a ‘bad place’, it follows they are usually places rich in conflict and ‘trouble’.
In ‘Sloosha’s Crossing’ in Cloud Atlas, Zachry recalls cannibal raids by rival tribes. In The Handmaid’s Tale ‘Unwomen’ are women unable to bear children, and are banished to highly polluted areas called ‘The Colonies’.
Where there is a system of injustice, unfairness, danger or oppression, there are interesting situations for characters to resist, avoid, escape or confront.
When writing a dystopian story, it’s helpful to think about best- and worst-case scenarios. These help us identify what characters want to do, and also what they want to avoid. 5. Give characters credible motivations
In dystopian fiction, as in other types of stories, character motivations are important. There has to be a reason why the government bans free thought, or decides to meddle with women’s reproductive rights and other liberties.
A tyrant, such as the leader of the ‘Sons of Jacob’ in Atwood’s novel, may be motivated by:
Ideology – the set of beliefs they hold (tyrants may believe, for example, that a fanatically literal interpretation of the Old Testament is the only ‘right’ way while quietly ignoring how it also gives them extreme gender or other privilege)
Lust for power
Greed
Backstory such as personal trauma that has left them embittered
Whatever your characters’ reasons for upholding or demolishing your story’s dystopia, it has to make sense for the story. Ask yourself:
What does my character gain if they choose to be complicit with the ‘bad’ aspects of this dystopia?
What could my character gain if they attempt to fight or overcome the underlying situation?
We see these differences in how people respond to tough environments in a story with dystopian elements like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. One sibling, Edmund, is more selfish and less immune to flattery. He is thus easily charmed and manipulated by Jadis to do her bidding, betraying the others.

The correct answer would be: B

Explanation:
Rule 1b represents the answer to your question
Rule 1a. Use a colon to introduce an item or a series of items. Do not capitalize the first item after the colon (unless it's a proper noun).
Examples:
You know what to do: practice.
You may be required to bring many things: sleeping bags, pans, utensils, and warm clothing.
I want the following items: butter, sugar, and flour.
I need an assistant who can do the following: input data, write reports, and complete tax forms.
Rule 1b. A capital letter generally does not introduce a word, phrase, or incomplete sentence following a colon.
Examples:
He got what he worked for: a promotion.
He got what he worked for: a promotion that paid a higher wage.
Rule 2. Avoid using a colon before a list if it directly follows a verb or preposition that would ordinarily need no punctuation in that sentence.
Not recommended: I want: butter, sugar, and flour.
Recommended: I want butter, sugar, and flour.
OR
Here is what I want: butter, sugar, and flour.
Not recommended: I've seen the greats, including: Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep.
Recommended: I've seen the greats, including Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep.
Examples:
I want an assistant who can do the following:
input data
write reports
complete tax forms
The following are requested:
Wool sweaters for possible cold weather.
Wet suits for snorkeling.
Introductions to the local dignitaries.
These are the pool rules:
Do not run.
If you see unsafe behavior, report it to the lifeguard.
Did you remember your towel?
Have fun!
Rule 3. When listing items one by one, one per line, following a colon, capitalization and ending punctuation are optional when using single words or phrases preceded by letters, numbers, or bullet points. If each point is a complete sentence, capitalize the first word and end the sentence with appropriate ending punctuation. Otherwise, there are no hard and fast rules, except be consistent.
Rule 4. A colon instead of a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases, or expands on the first sentence.
Example: He got what he worked for: he really earned that promotion.
If a complete sentence follows a colon, as in the previous example, authorities are divided over whether to capitalize the first word. Some writers and editors feel that capitalizing a complete sentence after a colon is always advisable. Others advise against it. Still others regard it as a judgment call: If what follows the colon is closely related to what precedes it, there is no need for a capital. But if what follows is a general or formal statement, many writers and editors capitalize the first word.
Example: Remember the old saying: Be careful what you wish for.
Rule 5. Capitalize the first word of a complete or full-sentence quotation that follows a colon.
Example: The host made an announcement: "You are all staying for dinner."
Rule 6. Capitalize the first word after a colon if the information following the colon requires two or more complete sentences.
Example: Dad gave us these rules to live by: Work hard. Be honest. Always show up on time.
Rule 7. If a quotation contains two or more sentences, many writers and editors introduce it with a colon rather than a comma.
Example: Dad often said to me: "Work hard. Be honest. Always show up on time."
Rule 8. For extended quotations introduced by a colon, some style manuals say to indent one-half inch on both the left and right margins; others say to indent only on the left margin. Quotation marks are not used.
Example: The author of Touched, Jane Straus, wrote in the first chapter:
Georgia went back to her bed and stared at the intricate patterns of burned moth wings in the translucent glass of the overhead light. Her father was in "hyper mode" again where nothing could calm him down.
Rule 9. Use a colon rather than a comma to follow the salutation in a business letter, even when addressing someone by his or her first name. (Never use a semicolon after a salutation.) A comma is used after the salutation in more informal correspondence.
Examples:
Dear Ms. Rodriguez:
Dear Dave,

True and false are the question type used in a sentence that is correct and incorrect. Twisting the body does not come under ergonomic hazard, and hence the statement is false.
What is an ergonomic hazard?An ergonomic hazard is a danger posed by the uncomfortable and poor posture that affects the musculoskeletal system of the body. Body twisting is not related to the ergonomic hazard and thus the statement is false.
Hand washing is the line of defense as it prevents harmful microbes to enter the body and helps in the protection of the body from immunogens. Thus the statement is true.
A wet gown is a source of contamination as the microbes that thrive in wet and moist conditions will start reproducing and can cause illness. Thus the statement is true.
The two control measures that are the most effective are substitution and elimination, thus the statement is true. Improved tools and equipment do not ensure engineering control as it involves prevention rather than giving tools. Thus the statement is false.

How does Katniss utilize the tracker jacker nest as a weapon against the Career Tributes that are lying in wait for her beneath the tree?
Using bees/wasps to kill isn't the greatest tactic, but the Careers were not expecting it, and two people died from the stings. She used it as a gas bomb of sorts, but instead of gas, there are killer mutated wasps that cause insanity and illusions when stung. She carefully, so carefully, as to not wake or disturb the tracker jackers, plucked the nest out of the tree, and dropped it like a bomb below. The nest hit one branch on the way down, as Katniss was in a tree, causing her to get stung once or twice. But the nest served its purpose, causing havoc and scattering the Careers and killing two other tributes in the process.
But, for the people who don't like reading, the Tracker jackers were utilized as a bomb of sorts, dropping killer wasps onto the unsuspecting Careers.

How does the speaker respond to getting sent away? What can we infer about the speaker's character?In the poem I,Too, Sing America
Answer and Explanation:
"I, too, sing America" is a poem by Langston Hughes in which the themes of racism and pride are explored. The speaker says he is the "darker brother" who is not allowed to eat at the table with the others. He says he is sent to the kitchen to eat away from everyone else. This is a metaphor for how African Americans are treated, being told they cannot have access and rights to things everyone else has.
How does the speaker respond to getting sent away?
Instead of being sad, being sent away only makes the speaker stronger:
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
He uses this time to grow, to gather strength to fight for his rights, for his place at the table.
What can we infer about the speaker's character?
We can infer the speaker is proud to be who he is. He is clearly a resilient person, who sees difficulties as opportunities. He is also brave and secure - he knows his fight will one day give him the same rights as the ones who now can eat at the table.
