Ron noticeably winced when Keena asked him about his paycheck. He considered discussing his salary with friends taboo. In this sentence, taboo means

Answer:

Unacceptable.

Explanation:

The word "taboo" usually refers to anything that is deemed illegal, prohibited, repulsive, unacceptable, etc. It is used to talk of things that are not openly discussed, or accepted, and are secretive.

In the given scenario, Ron's refusal to talk about his salary shows he finds the topic unacceptable to be talked about openly. He seems to take the topic as something that is not openly talked about, and needs not do it. To him, his salary is something that is 'unacceptable' to be revealed.

Owen closed his eyes and gulped. He felt a bulge in the back of his throat. His stomach was full of butterflies, and his palms were wet. He wiped his palms on his jeans and walked up to the turnstile. They were next in line. The Speed Demon roller coaster came to a screeching halt in front of him, and the giddy passengers stepped off, commenting on how steep the drop was. Here goes nothing, he thought to himself as he shakily stepped onto the ride.

In one to two sentences, identify at least three details from the paragraph that help the writer show Owen’s feelings without saying them directly.

There are 36 lines in the poem. The poem is numbered every 5 lines. ,end italics,



,begin bold,A Saddle & the World,end bold,



In Palestine, an old disheveled street,
a wall of tiny shops, where grass grows between crumpled stone,
I stand and watch in the shadow of the wall.
Pots and tin pans and brooms and woven straw mats,
even handmade saddles, spill into the narrow street.
Heavy saddles, covered with burlap, to fit horses,
mules, donkeys, sewn by someone who knows saddles.
A woman in a ,begin italics,thobe,end italics,—a long black dress,
hand-embroidered with red cross-stitching on chest and sides—
pokes around the saddles.
Bending down, she touches, pats, caresses,
like a woman buying cloth.
Finally she lifts her head, then do-si-dos,superscript,1,baseline,
toward the bald man who owns the shop
and asks the price of the saddle she likes best.
But the price isn't set in stone and will change, like the weather,
if you have some smarts at this haggling game.
Like fencing,,superscript,2,baseline, you dance with agile steps around each other,
touch with the point of your foil,,superscript,3,baseline, but never wound.
He says, she says. Words fly, as conductor-hands
sweep the air for emphasis. The woman nods,
and a corner of her mouth lifts. She fingers the coins
inside the slit in her belt.
"Sold! To the woman in embroidered dress!" the auctioneer would call out
if she lived in Texas. Or Oklahoma. Or even New York.
But in Palestine where she lives, a thousand women in embroidered
dresses
would stand to claim the prize.
I, in the uniform of my faded American jeans,
ask the woman a foolish question,
"How will you take this saddle home?"
The woman's face cracks open, a smile spills out.
Squatting, she picks up the saddle, an Olympian heavyweight champion,
she hoists the saddle in the air, then lowers it onto her head.
She stands tall, this Palestinian Yoga-woman, her head not merely holding
a saddle,
But the world.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he
loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The
Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as
this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country, come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town
a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the
Town Mouse's residence late at night. You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into
the grand dining room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice.
Suddenly they heard growing and barking, "What is that said the Country Mouse. It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only"
said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner. Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice
had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "Whats going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied: "Better
beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear

That’s newly sprung in June:
O, my luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
’Till a’ the seas gang dry.

’Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel a-while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

SOMEONE HELP ME RE-WRITE THIS PARAGRAPH


There are nine people on each team. In the field, there is a catcher, who catches the pitches that are delivered by the pitcher. The other seven players have the job of fielding the ball and trying to get the hitter out. When a player fields the ball, they catch it with their glove. They may catch the ball on the ground


or in the air. If they catch the ball on the ground, they have to throw the ball to the infield players that are assigned to a base. If they catch the ball in the air, it is called a fly, and then the batter is out. There is an umpire in the field who is like a judge. The umpire decides if a runner is safe or out in the field. If a player is safe, they stay on the base. If they are out, then they go back to the dugout. There is a first baseman who catches the throws from the infielders. The team in the field tries hard to get batters out at first, so the first baseman is very busy. Then there are the second baseman and a third baseman who field the ball and guard their bases. The shortstop, who plays between second and third base, also fields the ball and backs up the second and third basemen when they need it. There are three outfielders who play in the grass area of the field. There is a left fielder, right fielder and a centerfielder. They are responsible for fielding the ball when it is hit in the outfield.
