What do we hear socially about intelligence at school?
Answer:
Every year hundreds of grade school students converge on Washington, D.C., for the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The “bee” is an elite event in which children as young as 8 years old compete to spell words like “cymotrichous” and “appoggiatura.” Most people who watch the spelling bee think of these kids as being “smart.”
What makes a person intelligent? Is it heredity (two of the 2014 contestants in the National Spelling Bee have siblings who have previously won) (National Spelling Bee, 2014a)? Is it interest (the most frequently listed favorite subject among spelling bee competitors is math)(NSB, 2014b)?

Are the authors in disagreement with some other way of thinking? That is to say, is their a "They say" in their "I say"? Who are "they" and what is Mischel disagreeing with? What is he bifurcating from? And what does he discover in his research?
Hello. You did not submit the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
The only way to answer this question is to read the text it refers to. During this reading, you will be able to identify if the authors disagree, if they present opposite opinions on the same subject. Once you've identified this, you will need to understand what point in this issue they disagree with and why this disagreement is happening. This reason will be exposed in the textual evidence, where the authors will present sentences that justify their opinions, showing why this opinion is correct.
What these authors discover about the research will be presented in the conclusion of the text, in the last paragraph, where the authors can infer about everything that was discussed in the text.

fearless
independent
gloomy
imaginative
Answer:
Explanation:
morose is closest to gloomy. But gloomy is not quite correct. Gloomy is just a state om mind.
Morose is quite different I think. It is a life lived on the gloomy side, and somewhat constant in the way it lives that life. I think there is some measure of contentment when we are morose -- maybe we even like it.

Answer:
Explanation:
Words they say can make or mar you. This in essence packs in a lot and tells us so much about the power in the words we so often speak carelessly without having a preconceived thought of the after effect of that word on us the speaker, the recepient or the people around at the time. Such is the power of the word we speak or issue through writing. Words are so delicate to the extent that a particular thought may need to be passed using some carefully selected words based on the context and environment even when the use of synonymous words would have meant the same. The power of words gives a clear reason why public figures. Political office holders, media personalities always make it a big deal when they communicate, they do so with so much preparation giving great cognizance to waht they are about to spew with their tongue as they know how delicate and powerful spoken words are ; once spewed, it cannot be retracted, it stays in the history books even after those who heard it are no more. Consequently, the making of so many figures can also be attributed to their speaking ability, their carefulness, thoughtfulness and vibrancy with words. Hence, words are capable or making and also bring about down fall.

This question is missing the sentence. I was able to find it online. It is the following:

Answer:
The meaning of "excluded" as it is used in the sentence above is:
A. kept out
Explanation:
A context clue is a piece of information an author gives to help readers understand the meaning of a word that may be regarded as difficult or unusual. In the sentences we are analyzing here, the context clue for the meaning of "excluded" is given before the word itself appears. When the author says, "division problems would not be on the test," he is offering the clue. Some problems will be kept out, excluded, or simply not included in the test.

WHICH PRESENTS THE BEST REBUTTAL TO THE COUNTERCLAIM "BULLYING IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME PERSONALLY
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
A. The best way to prevent bullying is to keep students off of social media outside of school hours.
B. Schools should have a strong support system in place to help some students cope with the emotional pressures they experience from parents, teachers, and peers.
C. Existing feelings of low self-esteem can make a student more vulnerable to bullying.
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Answer:
The best rebuttal to the counterclaim is:
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Explanation:
A counterclaim is an idea that opposes the claim of an essay or a speech, for example. In this case, the counterclaim is "Bullying is not that important because it does not affect me personally." A rebuttal is an answer to a counterclaim, opposing it. In this instance, the best one is letter D. No one is absolutely immune to bullying and its effects. As studies show, everyone eventually feels insecure and, in some cases, such feeling is harder to manage. Therefore, bullying is important, since it has the power to affect everyone.

Explanation:
The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike? The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins.
Is this passage foreshadowing or change in pacing ?????
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
This passage is a change in pacing because after the text says "The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike?" it suddenly change the continuity of the action and refers to some characteristics of the cobra.
It could have been "foreshadowing" if the text would have continued the original narrative of the preparation for the attack, until describing the attack or not.
However, the text changed in pacing when it wrote: "The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins. This new information about the cobra's characteristics changed the narrative.
Mars is an _____ planet because it is red . A. unusual B.dangerous C. different D.beautiful E.similar

Ephesians 6:1-4. Explain the role of the children and the role of the parents in the family.
Answer:
The childrens role is to obey their parents while the Parents role is to love and raise the child in the right way.
Explanation:
Ephesians 6:1-4 is explaining how children need to obey their parents, meaning that they should listen and follow the rules their mom or dad has given or put in place for the child to follow. It's also explaining how parents shouldn't provoke and anger their children but love them and bring their children up in the right way. The right way, in this case, would be to take the children to church and show them what's right and what is wrong.

NEEDED ASAP
This year has been very rewarded to me. Two months ago I started a new experience in life; I met a person from my church, she invited to me to go with her to preach god's word to a bunch of homeless. At the beginning, I was a little scared because homeless people do not have the best reputation in town but at the end I accepted.
That morning my friend picked me up really early, we had to organize the place, take the chairs, set the table, prepare the snacks, test the equipments I mean the microphone and the speakers. When we have all ready, the homeless people started to arrive. I felt a little bit weird. I never thought to be there but it happened.
They started to pray and something happened, I could see God's mercy on the face of those people. They were there enjoying that moment and accepting those beautiful words. After that, I helped to serve food and beverage and I could discover how lucky I am to have a family, food, a place called home and a lot of things.
This experience helped me to understand that I needed a change in my life; I had to be more helpful and avoid worrying for things that they are not worth them. I could see everyone with the same eyes and try to make a difference in people's life.
Life is really hard most of the time and this group from my chuch helped to see my life from different point of view.
From this experience I learned that I could be a better person, and I could help other people, whose they do not have anything in life but they are so happy with a smile, a hug a sweet word or a handshake-
