Cork Floors, Yes or No? I have always believed that floors add character and warmth to a home. In today's world of floors, there are varied options to choose from. A unique and eco-friendly flooring option, cork has an exceptionally long lifespan. It reduces the risk of rot and mold and actually helps the quality of air indoors. It works well to neutralize temperature and absorb sound. Because cork flooring does not trap allergens, pet dander, or dust, it is also great for allergy sufferers. After reading several reviews and having used it at home for several years, I highly recommend this option for anyone interested in eco-friendly flooring. I can vouch for it!
However, there are some pitfalls that keep buyers from investing in cork flooring. For one, it is expensive! Cork comes from an evergreen tree called the cork oak. These trees are grown in the region around the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore, the cost of shipping bumps up the sticker price considerably. Secondly, unlike other floors that last almost a lifetime, cork floors last only five to ten years and have to be replaced more frequently. Dogs and high heels are a complete no-no around cork-floored areas. Paws and heels dig through the pliable surface, creating holes. In spite of its disadvantages, a large number of people today are turning towards this earth-friendly product.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?

Read the excerpt from elie wieselâ€™s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their â€śproductionâ€ť? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was â€śprocessingâ€ť ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single nightâ€”or even for just a few hoursâ€”would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.

Asap i will give brainliest to the first correct answer (1) wayne gretzky once said, “you’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (2) life would be dull and boring if no one took risks. (3) many people have accomplished astonishing things because they took a risk. (4) in other words, my mind is set on the belief that it’s worthwhile to take risks. (5) one reason to take a risk is that you can learn from your mistakes, and that allows you to accomplish your goal correctly the next time. (6) for instance, the wright brothers dreamed of being able to fly. (7) they decided to invent the airplane. (8) certainly, they weren’t able to construct it perfectly the first time, so they took a risk and kept trying until they finally got it right. (9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. what change, if any, is needed in sentence 1? question 1 options: a) delete the comma after said b) change you'll to you'll c) change always to allways d) make no change
