First, the carbon calculator will ask where you live. It asks this because some states rely on coal as a resource, which is generally a "dirtier" resource. Next, it usually asks you how large the household is. This way, it can calculate your
total versus the entire family. The calculator will divide the estimate for your home by the price of the power in your
area. This number is multiplied by the state emissions factor, which relates to the type of resource the state uses.
Also included in your carbon footprint is transportation. The calculator will estimate your annual mileage, along with
the car's make, model, and year. The mileage is then divided by the efficiency of the car in order to determine the fue
usage. This number is multiplied by the emissions factor of gasoline, and then is converted to the pounds of CO2
used.
Finally, all of these numbers, along with a small calculation for air travel are compiled together to give you your CO2
output in tons. Once you have this number you can adjust some of your daily routine and purchases to make your
footprint a little smaller
Read the passage above. List the steps for calculating your carbon footprint.

the correct answer is c. analytical reasoning. it is when you analyze the situation to form conclusions.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
