1. which of the following passages best supports the story’s topic of survival? (1 point) timothy warned against going into the water here because the sharks could swim close to shore. i was starting to be less dependent on the vine rope, and sometimes it seemed to me that timothy was trying hard to make me independent of him. using my cane to feel the way, to touch driftwood or coral ledges the night tide might have uncovered, i moved along the damp sand, calling out now and then. i poured some water from the keg and gave it to him.

the answer is mary made mudpies on monday.

remember alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.  

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
