The Cranberry Connection
“What is this book?” Anna mumbled to herself as she helped her mom look through old boxes. They had belonged to her grandparents who died when Anna was a baby.
“I think I found Grandma’s diary,” she told her mother.
Her mother quickly came closer and said, “What a find! I can’t wait to read it. I miss her.” Then seeing Anna’s frown, Mom added, “But you found Grandma’s diary, so you can read it first.”
Nodding happily, Anna read the date on the first entry, August 13, 1953. “How old was Grandma in 1953?” she asked.
Her mom thought for a minute. “She must have been about nine, the same age as you are right now.”
Anna had seen photos of her grandparents, but they looked so old that it was hard to imagine that her grandma was ever nine.
Anna read the first entry:
The county fair is only two weeks away and today I’m going to practice making Mother’s cranberry bread. Last time, the dough was so thick that I couldn’t even knead it! I get mad at myself when my baking turns out wrong, but Mother keeps telling me to have more patience. I’ll use less flour today and hope for the best.
A young girl kneels next to her trunk and a few boxes to write in her diary.
Then Anna realized that her mother made cranberry bread, too, and the recipe for that bread must have been passed down through the generations. Anna suddenly wanted to learn how to make it, and quickly asked, “Mom, could you help me make cranberry bread today?”
She could tell by the long pause that her mom was a little surprised by her request. “I guess we could make some,” she replied, “but you’ll have to do the kneading because my shoulder is sore from all this work.”
“I’ll do it all,” Anna told her. “Just make sure I’m doing it exactly the way you do it.”
Her mom pointed out, “Anna, you don’t have a lot of . . .”
“Patience!” Anna interrupted. “I’m just like Grandma! But I want to learn how to make that bread just like you do it—and like your mother did it, and her mother did it, and . . .”
Laughing, her mom held up her hand. “I get it, but I’m wondering why you’re suddenly so interested in that bread. Maybe I’d better read the diary before we start!”
Anna smiled and handed the dusty diary to her mom. “I don’t want to break the cranberry connection,” she said. “I have to be ready to teach my own kids how to make that bread!”

Question 3 options: a) Worried and unsure of how to get a good deal, on his first car Marty asked his parents for advice. b) Worried and unsure of how to get a good deal on his first car, Marty asked his parents for advice. c) Worried, and unsure of how to get a good deal on his first car, Marty asked his parents for advice. d) Worried and unsure, of how to get a good deal on his first car Marty asked his parents for advice.
Answer: Hello there! I believe the answer you're looking for is B: Worried and unsure of how to get a good deal on his first car, Marty asked his parents for advice.
Explanation: This is the proper way to use a clause in a sentence, as the subject (Marty) is experiencing or feeling everything that comes before the comma.
Another way to think of this sentence is like this: Marty is worried and unsure of how to get a good deal, so he will ask his parents for advice.

Worried, and unsure of how to get a good deal on his first car, Marty asked his parents for advice. The correct option is C.
What is punctuation?Punctuation is the division of written words into sentences and clauses using symbols like full stops, periods, commas, and question marks.
Punctuation makes it easier for the reader to understand the point you're trying to get through. A sentence's entire meaning can be altered by incorrect or missing punctuation.
To punctuate a sentence in writing typically means to add conventional punctuation (such as periods, commas, and exclamation points).
In the statement "Worried, and unsure of how to get a good deal on his first car, Marty asked his parents for advice." all punctuation marks are done right.
Thus, the correct option is C.

Why does Cappelli claim that it doesn't help to choose a popular major or
occupation-specific major?
A The majors aren't competitive as so many students are going into
them.
B Students are more likely to
perform better if they choose a major they like.
C Students are unlikely to stick with one major throughout their
college career.
D The world is always changing and
needing workers in various fields.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
"Will the 'right' college major get you a job?" is an article written by Glenn Altschuler. In the article, the author talks about the pros and cons of choosing major in the college, especially the popular major or occupation-specific major.
Peter Cappelli, a professor of management, claims that choosing a popular major or occupation-specific major will not help. In paragraph 16 and 17, Cappelli draws our attention to the increasing number of enrolment in such majors as petroleum engineering, science, technology, engineering, and maths. He remarks that a large number of students enroll in these programs but only few percent of these students actually make earning after graduating.
The conclusion of the article is that one should choose the major of his/he interest and what they like the most. Rather than choosing a major that is not of your interest.
Therefore, option A is correct.

Explanation:
Answer:
riddle??
Explanation:
A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total $31,460 The variable costs will be $10.75 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of $21.75 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales?
Answer: 2,860 books
Explanation:
First find the Contribution margin of the sale:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= 21.75 - 10.75
= $11.00
With a contribution margin, you can use the following formula to find out the number of books that can be sold to equate the production cost to sale:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
= 31,460 / 11
= 2,860 books

Walking the Dog
A crackle, a scrape, a huffing pant
A sudden shower of leaves,
A darting squirrel, a taut leash
The energetic dog heaves
On through the canopied, crackling brown sea
His chest like the bow of a boat
Only his leaps and his forward motion
Keeping him afloat
Sunlight falls at a horizontal slant
As we enter the late afternoon
And pick up our pace a little more-
Darkness will fall on us soon
DIRECTIONS: Read the poem aloud. Then answer the questions,
1. What is the "canopied, crackling brown sea?"
