EZ QUESTION

Read the scenario and answer the question that follows. Matt does not like the way other members of his group have been acting lately. They are making bad choices in his opinion, so he calls several of them over to talk. He sits them down as he stands bent over them and begins to explain why he is upset with them. As he yells at each one, he points his finger at them. What action should Matt take in order to communicate more effectively?
Ask each friend to explain himself, the choices he has made, why they were bad choices, and what can be done in the future to not make the same choices.
Explain the choices he has observed each friend make, discuss his thoughts and feelings about the choices, and ask that they agree on better choices to make.
Say he is sorry for yelling, explain that it had to be done, explain why he does not like the choices the friends are making, and make them say they are sorry.
Tell his friends what he thinks better choices would be for them to make, say he is sorry for all the finger pointing, and shake hands before walking away.

Answer:

Ask each friend to explain himself, the choices he has made, why they were bad choices, and what can be done in the future to not make the same choices

Explanation:

The second answer is also viable but the others don't seem logical. Seeing as if you were to place yourself in the situation of his friends I doubt anyone would want to get yelled at and told that yelling at them was the only option. Also the first answer allows you to see things from others' point of view and will solve any potential problems in the future from occuring.

stuck on myself or something, but I couldn't help it, the pictures with me in them were just more interesting. Every s

standing with Donald in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in fror
counter, mixing a birthday cake for Mother. The pictures reminded me that I was real, that I always had been real a

What is an inference.

How does Thoreau defend his approach in the second paragraph of "Economy" in Walden?

Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster."

General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a counterattack that would smash the British force. Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order, took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to

describe to the reader a brave act by a historical figure.
illustrate to the reader the dangers of questioning orders.
persuade the reader that challenging orders is heroic.
show the reader how violent the Revolutionary War was.

This is a key event in The Call of the Wild.

It was brought about by a conversation in the Eldorado Saloon, in which men waxed boastful of their favorite dogs. Buck, because of his record, was the target for these men, and Thornton was driven stoutly to defend him. At the end of half an hour one man stated that his dog could start a sled with five hundred pounds and walk off with it; a second bragged six hundred for his dog; and a third, seven hundred.

How does this event affect plot development?

It shows that Thornton believes in Buck.
It proves that Buck is stronger than other dogs.
It creates tension between Thornton and Buck.
It makes other men aware of Buck’s value.

This passage is from a promotional pamphlet for ecotourism.


Are you ready to go out and see other areas of the world? Do you

want to interact with other cultures, encounter other traditions, practice other

languages, and behold other scenery? Regardless of age, gender, or

background, traveling is one of those adventures almost everyone wants to

5 experience. Now you can do it too—and make the world a better place in the

process!


A New Kind of Tourism

Ecotourism goes by many names, including sustainable, conscious,

and responsible travel. While the names may change from one organization

to the next, the basic definition remains the same: traveling to natural areas

10 around the world, experiencing and learning about the region, and while

there, helping to preserve the environment and sustain the well-being of the

local residents.

Tourists adversely affect the destinations they visit when they are not

mindful of the impact of their actions. They may leave trash in their wake,

overlook local merchants and vendors in favor of flashy chain stores and

restaurants, and even tromp all over important historical monuments, ancient

sites, and religious icons. Their heavy foot traffic may interfere with the

growth patterns of local species of flowers, bushes, and trees. Those who

veer off established hiking trails may affect the habitats and development of

20 indigenous animals and plants. In fact, studies show that just the presence of

tiny microorganisms, which visitors may bring with them on their clothes,

have been known to compromise the ecosystems of natural sites popular with

tourists.



Ecotourism focuses on ensuring these negative effects do not occur.

25 The tenets of this style of travel include:

• Building respect for native peoples and cultures

• Reducing the impacts of visitors on cultural locations

• Participating in activities that benefit the local flora and fauna

• Improving awareness of the local environment

30 • Respecting the rights, values, beliefs, and customs of the community


The Origins of Ecotourism

Sustainable travel is not a new idea—it originated with the Sierra

Club's Outings program more than a century ago. These annual expeditions

were designed to take hikers into the backcountry of the Sierra Nevada

mountains to find and admire natural wonders—and then be inspired to

35 actively work to preserve them. In the early 1980s, the term “ecotourism"

was officially coined, and since then, it has become an increasingly popular

choice for travelers.

A Positive Impact

Nowadays, some people argue that ecotourism is not a perfect

solution to the potentially negative effects of travel. After all, ecotourism still

40 has some environmental impact, and it may draw more people to fragile areas

than traditional tourism would. However, as long as mankind has a thirst for

travel, ecotourism will remain the most responsible option. Travel is one of

the great human experiences—that people will travel is a fait accompli, so

the only question is whether it will be done in a sustainable way.


45 Ecotourism also brings numerous benefits to the world at large.

Sustainable travel piques tourists' interests in distant corners of the planet and

raises awareness of the cultures and traditions of the people who live there.

Individuals who have taken part in ecotourism may be more environmentally

conscious back home. Additionally, this form of travel provides tangible

50 benefits to the areas visited. Tourists can assist with scientific research, such

as mapping biodiversity by determining the number of plant and animal

species in a location. In other expeditions, tourists may help with excavating

archaeological sites. Ecotourists work hard to provide important data to

scientists and help us learn more about our world.


55 As an ecotourist, you can join the other 105.3 million Americans

who are dedicating their travels to having a positive effect on the world

around us. You can find out how to explore new places, see wildlife in its

natural habitat, and interact with local cultures—and leave them all as they

were to be enjoyed for generations to come.
