They only owned the one dog, but they loved all dogs, every dog they saw.

But, he hated cats, so he said, "You can get one if you want, but I'm not paying for anything!" So Max bought a cat and named it Mitsy, and Samuel refused to help take care of it. Still, he was around the cat a lot. After a few weeks, he began to like it when the cat would rub her head on Samuel's leg, and he liked how she stalked and pounced on roaches. Within two months, Samuel thought Mitsy was one of the greatest animals in history. He was sure his family would make fun of him when they found out! 19 What is a recurring theme in a story such as this? A. Once a person has an opinion, he or she should never change it. B.

Final answer:

The central subject of a comedy is generally practical choices faced by everyday characters, aiming to invoke laughter and end happily. Sub-genres like Comedy of Ideas, Comedy of Manners, Comedy of Character, and Situation Comedy explore these aspects through various themes and settings.

Explanation:

The central subject of a comedy often revolves around characters dealing with practical choices rather than ethical dilemmas. The humor in such narratives arises from everyday situations and mishaps, such as a character trying to figure out how to steal without being noticed, or avoiding an awkward encounter. A few sub-genres under the comedy umbrella include the Comedy of Ideas, the Comedy of Manners, the Comedy of Character, and the Situation Comedy or Sit-Com.

For example, the Comedy of Ideas like Aristophanes' 'Lysistrata' might explore a philosophical concept humorously, while the Comedy of Manners is known for its social satire, exemplified by Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. A Comedy of Character focuses on the amusing traits and troubles of a character, like in Moliere's 'The Miser', and a Sit-Com centers on humor stemming from specific situations, as seen in Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' or popular television series like 'Friends'.

Irrespective of the exact sub-genre, comedies aim to invoke laughter and provide entertainment, typically concluding on a positive or happy note. They contrast with tragedies, which deal with more serious, often life-threatening situations and likely have somber endings.

How can it be classified?

A bear is classified under Kingdom Animalia, which is characterized by multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that ingest other organisms for energy. The sea cucumber, despite its misleading name, is also a member of Animalia, while an orchid falls under Plantae. Animals feature specialized tissues and generally reproduce sexually, indicating a shared developmental sequence within the kingdom.

Within the Kingdom Animalia, a bear falls under the category of multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that derive their energy through ingesting other organisms. This contrasts with Kingdom Plantae, where organisms, like the orchid, are autotrophic and primarily use photosynthesis to obtain energy. The sea cucumber, despite its plant-like name, is also a member of the Animalia Kingdom due to its attributes of being multicellular, heterotrophic, and having a body with tissue differentiation. The organisms pictured in Figure 1.10.2: Diversity of Animals, such as the sponge (A), flatworm (B), flying insect (C), frog (D), tiger (E), and gorilla (F), all exemplify the vast diversity found in the animal kingdom, exhibiting various body plans and specialized tissues including nervous, muscular, connective, and epithelial which are common characteristics among animals.

Since animals are such a diverse group ranging from simple forms like sponges to complex forms like humans, they share key features that unite them under this kingdom. These include being eukaryotic, multicellular, and demonstrating a heterotrophic lifestyle where they ingest their food. Furthermore, they usually have the capacity for motility and possess differentiated tissues designed for specific functions.

When classifying the bear using the taxonomic classification system, we can determine that it fits under the Animalia Kingdom. Going from kingdom to species, one could use the classification provided for a common dog as a model to comprehend the systematic approach of taxonomy: Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Carnivora, Canidae, Canis, and lupus, with each term in the sequence offering a more specific category or group.

Final answer:

The words 'amazed' or 'amazing' denote being filled with wonder or astonishment, similar to being spellbound, and both begin with 'ama'.

Explanation:

The word you are looking for that means 'spellbound' and begins with 'ama' is likely "amazed" or "amazing". To be amazed or amazing means to be filled with wonder or to be astonished, which is a similar sensation to being spellbound. Being spellbound refers to being so captivated by something that you cannot divert your attention away from it. For example, when watching a particularly engaging movie, you might find yourself completely spellbound by the story and the characters, so much so that you lose track of time.

"The farmer gained insight into the way of overcoming the long fallow period in the farm"

The meaning of this sentence is that the farmer was able to understand the source of the problem in the farm, which will help him to find an effective solution to fight against this problem. The word "fallow" is used to refer to an unsuccessful period of time or, in other words, a period of time in which nothing good is produced. Furthermore, the word "insight" refers to a sudden understanding of a specific problem.

Answer:

As we well know, laws are a set of rules that allow us to live in society.

In our home, in order for a pet to function properly, these "laws" must also exist.

For example, if we want our dog to be inside the house, he must know how to behave, he must learn how to live in the society that is our family.

If the dog broke the couch or threw away the trash, he would receive a punishment. For example, stay out.

We, as owners, must not abuse of our power and be violent with the dog or give extreme punishment, since otherwise we would be missing the "law".

The same happens in society, as people we must know that if we do wrong, we will receive a punishment, and in turn the judges, police, etc., must use the power they have correctly.

Only in this way can a good coexistence be achieved.

Indirect Characterization

"Rainsford sprang up and moved quickly to the rail." "When he opened his eyes he knew from the position of the sun that it was late in the afternoon." "He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find--the print of hunting boots."

For all of the sentences above, Rainsford can be defined as nimble (quick), intelligent, and knowledgeable. His quick movement to the rail illustrates his nimbleness, while his knowledge of the position of the sun illustrates his intelligence. His expectations that he will find bootprints show his knowledge about hunting or tracking.  

Direct Characterization

"The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen--a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist." "Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage."

Here, the reader has no question about Ivan. He is a huge, muscular man with a very long black beard. Zaroff openly describes him as strong, deaf (unable to hear), and dumb (mute--unable to speak).

Answer:

The correct answer is D. If you have more evidence against your position than for it, you should gather more supporting evidence.

Explanation:

Evidence is the material proof that serves to reinforce the credibility of an argument. Therefore, it provides said argument with a presumption of legitimacy and reality, thereby giving it acceptance, that is, from the provision of evidence, the argument begins to be socially accepted.

Therefore, in an argumentative debate or clash, if the counterpart possesses a greater amount of evidence to support his idea, the ideal situation would be to obtain evidentiary material to counteract said evidence provided by the counterpart.
