Read the informational text on the Olympic games. Then answer the question that follows.
What do Athens, Atlanta, and Tokyo have in common? They are all locations that have hosted the Olympic Games, the world's largest athletic competition. Every two years, cities around the world vie to bring athletes and entertainment to their corner of the world.
Originally, the host cities for the winter and summer games were selected based on what the city already offered for the athletes. Today, the host cities are selected through a much different process.
First, the city must prove that it is big enough to host the volume of athletes and spectators. Next, the city must convince its taxpayers that the income from the Olympics will offset the expenses necessary to build any additional structures for competition locations and lodging. Finally, the city must prove its worth as a positive presence on the world's stage.
Hosting the Olympics comes with a large price tag. If the games are so expensive, why do cities want to host the Olympics? Cities are able to show pride in their country, employ people to improve infrastructure, and profit from the tourism dollars added to the community.
What is the text structure of the third paragraph?

Read the passage. Think about its purpose and point of view. Then answer the question that follows.
Fake news is not a new thing for our society. However, due to the influence of social media, bogus stories in the twenty-first century circulate much faster than those from the days of traditional newsprint.

To distinguish real news from fake news, people must become digital detectives. Check the source to determine if it is a credible site with reliable content that meets standard news journalism guidelines. Examine the headline for its neutrality; sensational headlines typically signal fake news. Don't get tricked by fake news!
Which statement best summarizes the author's point of view?
People need to know how to check for valid information to prevent the spread of fake news.***
The digital society needs to realize how quickly fake news is shared.
Sources of fake news should be banned from being allowed to publish information.

13.The text structure of this paragraph. The main idea of this paragraph is mimic octopus and the facts are it can change it's color also its shape and behavior. It is able to imitate 15 different species and this paragraph is a sequence.
14.He wants to wait because he has been doing school eight hours straight also he needs to clean he's room and take Boomer for a walk. Also, he feels that he is tired because he has been doing school for eight hours straight so that makes him tired so he needs to take a break so later he can do homework and be more focused.
15.I think because most authors come from different childhoods and stuff like that. Also, if they come from different backgrounds the might take a facts different and some sad facts might hurt them a lot because they come from a family or a background that is all full of joy then when they hear something really sad it could hurt them. Authors write very different stories (that might write sad stories cause they had a sad child hood so the take facts and stuff differently) some use the sad events to make a good story. Some authors use happy events. That how I think that different authors might interpret facts in multiple ways.
Hope this helps :)))

QUESTION: The mimic octopus not only changes its color, but also its shape and behavior. It is able to imitate 15 different species. By changing the way it swims, it can look and act like a sea snake, stingray, jellyfish, and even a seashell. Changing its movement confuses predators, helping it flee to safety. It also helps it confuse prey and catch its next meal.The mimic octopus truly is a great example of how animals adapt to survive. Write one to two sentences describing the text structure of this paragraph.
ANSWER:This paragraph's text structure is as follows: Definition. This is because the author describes the characteristics and features of the imitation octopus (use an example of the author describing the octupus here).
QUESTION: MOM: You need to start your homework as soon as you get home from school. You will be too tired to do it later.
ISAAC: I'm tired when I get home from school because I've been paying attention in class and surrounded by people all day. I also have to clean my room and take Boomer for a walk.
MOM: Your homework is more important than both of those things.
ISAAC: I agree with you. But by the time I get home from school, I've been doing schoolwork for eight hours straight. If I had a break from doing schoolwork to take care of the other things I need to do before starting homework, I think I would be more focused. Also, I always finish my homework. It's important to me that it get done, too. Write one to two sentences in which you explain Isaac's reasoning for wanting to do his homework later than his mother would prefer.
ANSWER: I think that because he's tired , Issac would like to do his homework later than his mom would like. He goes straight to school for seven to eight hours, needing to pay attention and be active with the teacher. All he needs to do when he comes home is to take a break from it all.
This is all!
