Read the article "Overcoming Difficulties: How Helen Keller Learned to Communicate" and answer the question.
Every day, millions of people worldwide use their mouths to speak, their ears to hear, and their eyes to see. However, not all people have those abilities. Some are born without the ability to speak, see, or hear. Others lose one or all of these abilities due to illness or accident. Not being able to communicate can be a major obstacle, but people who overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others. Instead, people who have to overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others.
A Great Teacher
One person who did not allow her disability to limit her was Helen Keller. Keller, who became blind and deaf at the age of one and a half due to illness, learned at a very young age that her life was going to be different. As a child in the late 1800s, she did not have access to the technology we have today that assists people with disabilities in their daily lives. Instead, she had a very dedicated and creative teacher who stuck with Keller throughout her life. This teacher's name was Anne Sullivan. As a result of Sullivan's dedication and Keller's own determination, she learned when many thought she could not.
Learning How to Communicate
Sullivan helped her learn to communicate by using the resources and abilities Keller did have. Keller could touch, taste, and smell. Sullivan taught her to associate hand movements with words. She would spell words on Keller's hand while having her touch the related object. By associating a physical object with the hand movements, Helen learned the meaning of countless words. Learning to speak was tackled in a similar way. By feeling lips as they moved, Keller learned how to use her lips to form words. Using such innovative techniques and the resources available to her opened whole new worlds for Keller's learning. Sullivan encouraged and mentored Keller, never letting her give up and always believing the best for her.
An Inspiration to Others
Another way Keller learned to communicate was through writing. As an adult, she attended Radcliffe College, which allowed her to advance her education, even though many people doubted her ability to be successful. While she was there, she wrote her autobiography, which told the world about her struggles and accomplishments. She was able to share her story through Braille, a form of writing using raised dots felt with the fingers. Throughout her entire college career, Anne Sullivan was beside her, encouraging Keller and interpreting the words she could not see and the sounds she could not hear. Helen Keller's perseverance and Anne Sullivan's dedication became an inspiration for many children and adults around the world.
Helen Keller went on to be a successful author and teacher. She became a mentor to other children and adults living with disabilities. To this day, Keller is remembered for her determination, resourcefulness, and dedication that helped her to overcome obstacles and inspire others.
Which details best support the claim that Keller learned to communicate successfully?
A She eventually became a traveling motivational speaker.
B She went to college and wrote her own autobiography.
C She helped to develop modern American Sign Language.
D She was a favorite playmate among the neighbor children.
Answer: B
Explanation: ( I took the same test and it was B)
Read the following text:
In the 1970s, drinking containers for soda and water changed from glass bottles to plastic bottles. Glass bottles were reusable. People bought the bottles, drank the liquid, and returned the empty containers to the store for a refund. The company collected, cleaned, and refilled the glass bottles at bottling plants. In contrast, plastic bottles were made out of Polyethylene terephthalate, making these containers disposable. Consumers bought the containers, drank the soda or water, and threw the plastic containers into the garbage. Unlike glass bottles, this plastic invention was cheap to produce. For every glass bottle, companies could make 20–40 plastic ones. Companies favored the more economic choice, and plastic bottles soon replaced glass bottles.

Answer:
I will only write drafts for your question so it is not plagiarism when you use this. Hope this helps!
Explanation:
topic sentence: When Scrooge went on a journey through his past, present, and future with the ghosts of Christmas, he was able to gain a new perspective about his life, especially about his past. Here is what his perspective shifted too.
reason: When traveling with the ghost of Christmas past, Scrooge was able to look at his life from a third-person perspective, so he was able to see his younger self instead of being him in the moment.
evidence: (never read this book nor the text so look back find a sentence or two and bring it in smoothly throughout the text) Try fitting in your statement like, "here is what it looked like for Scrooge in the text." Or, "This is what he saw when looking back to his younger self." etc.
end of reason 1: Scrooge was able to understand he was not responsible for his mistreatment as a child but that he is responsible for his mistakes as an adult.
reason 2: Another thing that changed Scrooges perspective was that he learns the simple things in life like love, friendship, and laughter hold much more value than money.
Explanation/Evidence: (never have read this book nor the text so look back find a sentence or two and bring it in smoothly throughout the text) Try fitting in your statement like, "here is what it looked like for Scrooge in the text." Or, "This is what he saw when looking back to his younger self." Or, "This is what got to Mr. Scrooge so he could learn this lesson,"
End of reason 2: Scrooge needed to learn about the value of love, friendship, and laughter so he would learn life isn't just about how much money and/or if you have any money at all.
Conclusion: Scrooge was able to change his perspective so much just by visiting the Ghost of Christmas Past. Proving that he was able to change and live his life to the fullest.
Paragraph 2:
Write about a opinion of yours or summary towards the book or about when scrooge meets the ghosts or an opinion of who you think helped him the most or why the past ghost was there first etc. etc.

Language Arts Question
In "The Second Coming" by W.B. Yeats, the speaker asserts that the best people "lack all conviction," while the worst are "full of passionate intensity." How does this statement apply to the speakers in "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"? What characteristics of the modern world make it difficult, if not impossible, to be heroic in the traditional sense?
Yes it could and it would be possible
Answer:
An Irish who foresees his death is regarded as the one where death cannot be avoided may be due to an aircraft crash possible to happen or hijack in the plane.
A hero in the traditional sense is someone capable of letting go of himself to fight for others' well-being and safety. Heroes are supposed to be brave, smart, and, above all, altruistic. They must be willing to sacrifice it all to do the right thing.
However, one of the things the modern world has taught us is to put ourselves first. We are no longer willing to sacrifice part or all of our lives for the sake of others. Quite the contrary, what we treasure the most now are personal, individual accomplishments.
They can come in many forms: Buying the things you desire, traveling to several countries because it seems to be what everyone does, climbing the corporate ladder etc.

In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions.
Answer:what kinda middle school work is this bro anyways hope this helps
Explanation:
In very specific situations, the apostrophe is used to replace missing letters in contractions, to show the possessive form of some nouns, and to make the plural of some words. 1. To indicate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, use an apostrophe in a contraction.
2. Use an apostrophe in the possessive form of a noun to indicate ownership. To show ownership, add apostrophe + s to the end of a word, with one exception: To show ownership with a plural noun already ending in s add only the apostrophe.
In quite certain circumstances, the apostrophe is utilized to supplant missing letters in constrictions, to show the possessive type of certain things, and to make the plural of certain words.
Uses of apostrophe are:
To demonstrate missing letters in words or missing numbers in a year, utilize a punctuation in a withdrawal.Utilize an apostrophe in the possessive type of a thing to demonstrate proprietorship. To show proprietorship, add punctuation + s to the furthest limit of a word, with one special case.To show possession with a plural thing previously finishing off with s add just the punctuation.
The basic guideline is that the possessive of a solitary thing is shaped by adding a punctuation apostrophe and s, whether or not the particular thing closes in s.
The possessive of a plural thing is framed by adding just a punctuation when the thing closes in s, and by adding both a punctuation and s when it closes in a letter other than s.
