Read the following excerpt from a speech about preserving historic buildings. Then, answer the question that follows.

Steeple Lofts, an apartment building, was originally a church built in 1868, and was once the tallest structure in South Philadelphia, a landmark to ships on the Delaware River. It has now been made into fancy apartments, preserving the original details of the building. If the church had been torn down instead, it would have ruined the entire neighborhood and led to all other historic buildings being torn down. That's why it's important to preserve historic buildings.

Which type of figurative language is used as a rhetorical device in the bolded passage?

Allusion, because the Steeple Lofts apartment building is located near a river
Hyperbole, because failing to preserve the building would not literally ruin the entire neighborhood
Metaphor, because apartments are being compared to ships on the Delaware River
Personification, because the ships are described as having emotions and opinions

What is the theme of the poem and why explain your reasoning

I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before morning
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I die before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth about me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.

WHOMEVER ANSWERS CORRECTLY GETS BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Africanized honey bees were created in Brazil in 1957. Scientists mixed local bees with African ones to create a bee that would make more honey. They ended up with something much different. The new bees evolved in unexpected ways. They multiplied and migrated north. These Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons.

Killer bees are far more aggressive than their relatives. They have been known to attack in great numbers, even when there has been no direct threat on their hives. They have swarmed because of loud noises, dark clothing, bright jewelry, and even strong perfume. They will chase a person for more than a quarter of a mile and remain angered for up to 24 hours.

Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed. So many stings in such a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die.

A final reason why "killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused. Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very difficult for the victim to escape. Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive.

Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously. It is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Which sentence from the conclusion paragraph best rephrases the author's thesis?
a)Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted.

b)Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously.

c)You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart.

d)It is better to be safe than sorry.

It is March 15, in the year 2514. The people of former New York are in desperate circumstances. They are being overrun, and they are losing hope. The banners proclaiming a Free the Real NYC lie in the gutters, trampled by terrified and panicked citizens. Two teens– or kidz, as they are called now– are on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walk in the shadows to avoid detection, they both trip on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface are a series of scratched-out words. The only words they can make out are, "he will prevail." They drag the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twist it open. The glow from their flashlights reveals the contents of the cylinder. With gasps of relief, they look at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.

Adam and Bridget were walking home one night from a Free the Real NYC meeting. They were walking in the shadows to avoid being caught by the curfew police when they tripped over a huge titanium cylinder. There were three words etched on it that they could read. "He will prevail?", Bridget asked quizzed, "What's that supposed to mean?" Out of curiosity, Adam opened the container. They shone their flashlights at the titanium cylinder as they gasped in awe and relief. It was a news article from December 13, 2505! It was written about how the leader of the formerly NYC was planning to build a machine that could wipe out the entire city! They rushed back to the secret base of the Free the Real NYC resistance. They put the container on the table. Now that it was in better lighting, they could read the rest of the etchings. They read ψοφώ, Greek for "I'm dying." They learn that the etching was written by the founder of the resistance, Henry Gihigal. He wrote it when the leader of the Cultists, Tabea Thomas, was torturing him with methods unheard of. He wrote the "He will prevail" section speaking of the resistance. The "ψοφώ" was to tell the resistance to choose a new leader. They started planning their attack to make sure that the machine was destroyed.

Sloths are notorious for being slow, traveling a mere 0.03 kilometers (120 feet) each day. These live high up in the trees of Central and South American forests. Their slow movements may not make them that exciting to watch, but if you're a scientist who is studying them, that slowness is a big plus.

"They're actually a great study animal for the wild because you can collect a lot of data on them," says Giles Duffield. He is a biologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

A few years back, Duffield studied birds in Bolivia, but it was a lot harder to study a bird than a sloth. "You'd see some parrots and you'd make some notes and then they were gone and you wouldn't see them again for another 24 hours," he says.

Duffield and his colleagues now collect data on the brown-throated three-toed sloths that live in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. In June 2020, Duffield reported his work studying sloths and their circadian rhythms. These are the 24 hour schedules that control the sleeping and eating patterns of animals.

A Lot Of Rest
Brown-throated three-toed sloths can stay in sight—or even in the same tree—for nearly 24 hours. They rest anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the time, allowing scientists like Duffield to closely observe sloths in their habitat, or natural environment where it lives.

Older studies on sloths suggested that sloths could be nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. Other studies showed they had no set activity pattern of waking and sleeping at all: they are active at any time during their 24-hour cycle, night or day, without any issues.

Duffield and his team, on the other hand, found that their sloths were mostly diurnal, meaning they're active during the day and sleep during the night. "So this was kind of the opposite to what we'd expected," he says.

The scientists wanted to find out why their results were so different from the conclusions that previous scientists made. One possibility is that Duffield's study was unique because the team observed the sloths over complete 24-hour cycles. They monitored the sloths this way for 29 days, providing a clearer picture of sloth behavior.

There's another difference between Duffield's work and previous research: the habitats the sloths lived in. The brown-throated three-toed sloths lived in habitats disturbed by humans, while other sloths were in undisturbed habitats.

Damaged Ecosystems
The sloth's Atlantic Forest home is in trouble, with an estimated 98 percent of its woodland being lost. The forest has been highly disturbed by humans, who have hunted its animals, cleared its trees, built many roads, and developed the land. This means that a lot of the animals and plants that once lived there are gone. The sloth's predators, the animals that would eat the sloths for food, are gone too.

Sloths may have been nocturnal to improve their chances of survival in a more challenging environment. But Duffield thinks that because their predators in the Atlantic Forest are now extinct, sloths don't have to compete with other species for food. The animals can find enough food to live during the daytime instead of mostly at night. The switch between nighttime and daytime behaviors could be the way sloths handle a damaged ecosystem. These are biological communities made up of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

"A lot of organisms can't readily change their day to night activity," he says. "Their survival strategy requires one or the other." So it may well be that change, or that association with daytime as opposed to nighttime, or not having a set activity pattern, does change some of the organisms associated with the sloth. For example, algae and insects find homes in sloth fur.

"That's something we'd love to examine," Duffield says. For this new research, Duffield's most important piece of equipment is perhaps a comfortable chair.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
