Read this passage. Then, answer the following question(s).

(1) The kea is a large green parrot that lives in mountainous regions of New Zealand. The Maori, the native people of New Zealand, gave the parrot its name, which is an imitation of its long, loud greeting call: keeeeeee-ahhh.

(2) People who see keas for the first time often mistake them for hawks or other predatory birds because of the kea’s round, hefty body and long, hooked beak. However, the kea is definitely a parrot. Like other parrots, the kea has an extremely large forebrain, which gives it great learning powers and problem-solving skills. The pesky kea definitely uses its problem-solving skills and its big feet to grasp items, and, in the process, gets into a lot of trouble!

(3) What kind of trouble? Imagine that you and your family are on a camping trip in the mountains. You park your car in a safe place and make sure that the car and the bikes on the bike rack are locked. Then, you pitch your tent and go off on a scenic hike. Enter a couple of curious keas. Searching for food at your campsite, they tear your tent to shreds. Then, they use their agile feet and strong beaks to pick up stones to throw at the windows of your car. A window cracks, and the keas peck at it until it breaks. Then, they hop into the car and tear the seats apart. Still dissatisfied with the meager amount of food you’ve left behind, they fly onto the bike rack and chew apart the bungee cords holding the bikes in place. As a final blow, they eat the bicycle seats!

How does dramatic irony work to attract film audiences particularly in the horror and thriller genre

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers—no cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.

NEED HELP ON THIS ASAP!!!!!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

I’m sure last winter (it was a very severe one, if you recollect, and when it did not snow, it rained and blew), not a creature but the butcher and postman came to the house, from November till February; and I really got quite melancholy with sitting night after night alone; I had Leah in to read to me sometimes; but I don’t think the poor girl liked the task much: she felt it confining. In spring and summer one got on better: sunshine and long days make such a difference; and then, just at the commencement of this autumn, little Adela Varens came and her nurse: a child makes a house alive all at once.


What is Mrs. Fairfax’s perspective about those around her?


She believes that she cannot be happy without them.

She thinks they should put her comfort above their own.

She prefers spending time with younger people.

She is aware of and concerned about their feelings.

Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe.

"Father,” began Nnaemeka suddenly, "I have come to ask for forgiveness.”

"Forgiveness? For what, my son?” he asked in amazement.

"It’s about this marriage question.”

"Which marriage question.”

"I can’t—we must—I mean it is impossible for me to marry Nweke’s daughter.”

"Impossible? Why?” asked his father.

"I don’t love her.”

"Nobody said you did. Why should you?” he asked.

"Marriage today is different . . .”

"Look here, my son,” interrupted his father, "nothing is different. What one looks for in a wife are a good character and a Christian background.”

Nnaemeka saw there was no hope along the present line of argument.

"Moreover,” he said, "I am engaged to marry another girl who has all of Ugoye’s good qualities, and who . . .”

His father did not believe his ears. "What did you say?” he asked slowly and disconcertingly.

"She is a good Christian,” his son went on, "and a teacher in a Girls’ School in Lagos.”

"Teacher, did you say? If you consider that a qualification for a good wife, I should like to point out to you, Emeka, that no Christian woman should teach. St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians says that women should keep silence.”

How does this passage define the traditional roles of men and women?

Men should marry for love, but whether women marry for love is unimportant.
It is not that important for men to be religious, but it is essential for women to be.
Men make decisions, and women accept those decisions.
Men may pursue many careers, while women are restricted to homemaking and teaching.
