In the first paragraph
Read the following excerpt from an argumentative essay. Answer the question that follows.
Critics might say that smartphones in the classroom cause too many distractions. A 2009 article in Education Magazine made just such a claim. Although cell phones can certainly cause distractions, current research suggests that teachers and students are putting phones to better use. A 2013 Educator Insider poll reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom. The poll lists Internet access, spell checks, and collaboration as three key uses of smartphones in an educational setting.
What is the counterclaim the author introduces to the argument?
Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom.
Cell phones in the classroom cause too many distractions.
Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom.
67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom.
Answer:
"Cell phones in the classroom cause too many distractions."
Explanation:

Poetry. I need help with questions 5 and 6.
Answer Below :)
Explanation:
For Number 5, what is being personified is the summers "eye" (also you can use complexion as personification). You should probably know this but personification puts human traits to non human traits. And what it reveals about summer is that summer is hot and also that that the sun is out for only some of the time. For 6, the speaker emphasizes (line 1) that if he can compare (the person he is talking to) to a summer day.
Hope this helps :)
5: The sun is divine, godly, or heavenly. This device reveals that summer is a spiritual time.
6: It emphasizes the light, and godliness that comes from the sun.
Please Answer Both of them will mark you brainliest. On the second one look at what Internal and External Conflict is and answer the questions which says what is the external conflict for chapter 19.
Explanation:
In the first fight scene (on page 54), Percy doesn't seem confident with his fighting abilities for these reasons:
He says "time slowed down" and "my legs tensed" indicating that he was nervous or scared. Also, this was a situation he was suddenly thrust into while trying to save his mom and his friend, so of course he'd be scared or unconfident.
In the fight scene on page 164, he seems more confident for these reasons:
- He reacts quickly when he sees the Furies (by grabbing the wheel of the bus)
- He hits the emergency brake (another quick reaction)
- He exposes himself to the furies after the bus stops, to help Annabeth and Grover. He wouldn't do this if he wasn't more confident in his fighting abilities.
- He uses his sword, Riptide, and successfuly stops one of the furies.
Now for the second question!
External conflict: The conflict between Percy and Hades is an excellent representation of External conflict. They both strongly believe two different things: Hades believes that Percy stole the Master Bolt, and his Helm of Darkness, while Percy thinks Hades stole it. Their different beliefs end up with Hades taking Percy's mother as leverage for his Helm of Darkness, as well as sending the furies after Percy, and Percy going on an entire quest on misleading information.
Internal Conflict: When Percy has to decide between saving Annabeth and Grover, or his mother , this is an example of internal conflict. Over their time together, Percy has grown close with Annabeth and Grover, but he still loves his mom, and with the magic pearls only three of them can escape. He ends up choosing Annabeth and Grover, promising to come back for his mother.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions, and please give me brainliest if I helped!

“Fakeout”
Now, imagine your classmates don’t know about the negative consequences of false information, photos, and videos. Write an essay explaining why fake content is dangerous. You should use evidence from the texts, and you can also use real-world examples to support your central idea.
