Answer 1
Answer: In The Parable of the Prodigal Son, the elder son says he never transgressed. That means that he did not break laws or commandments, that he didn't go beyond any laws. 
Answer 2
Answer:

The answer is D: He did not break laws or commandments.

 To transgress means to break a law or moral rule. In this case of the Parable of the Prodigal son, the elder son, by saying he never transgressed, is comparing his behaviour to his younger brother's, who had left his father and his responsabilities, living a life that didn't respect God's commandments nor any moral rule.

Answers

Answer: B) Paradox.

Explanation: A paradox is a logical puzzle that seems to contradict itself, a statement or proposition that leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory. The given sentence is a clear example of a paradox, because it says "I always lie" if the statement is true, that also means that is false (because the person is telling the true), and if the statement is false the person might or might not be telling the true.

Directions: Select the correct text in the passage.Read the statement below.The author believes that animals should be released from zoos.

Which sentence from the passage best supports this statement?
Home, Sweet Home?

A zoo can be a fun place to visit, but would it be a fun place to live? Many zoos spend a lot of money to create homes that are like the animals' natural environments. The zoos also make a strong effort to provide good health care for the animals. However, no matter how hard a zoo works to give animals a good home, it can never give them the freedom of roaming in the wild.
Animals such as elephants need wide-open spaces to move around. In the wild, elephants travel more than 20 miles per day on average. When an elephant lacks movement, it can develop health problems like stiff joints.
Another reason why animals do not belong in zoos is that they can develop a condition called zoochosis. Zoochosis is abnormal behavior caused by boredom and frustration. The symptoms of zoochosis include rocking back and forth, pacing, circling, and excessive chewing. The animals often have poor eating habits. Zookeepers give these animals drugs to keep them calm. In conclusion, a zoo is not the best place for animals to live. Animals belong in the wild where they can roam freely.

Answers

The  sentence from the passage which best supports the statement stated above is:

Animals belong in the wild where they can roam freely.

This sentence summarizes everything that has been discussed in the passage. It recapitulates the main idea that the author wants to convey.

What word best describes the purpose of an analytical essay?A. reports
B. narrates
C. interprets
D. describes

Answers

The correct answer is C. Interpret

Explanation:

An analytical essay refers to one type of essay written to analyze or carefully examine an idea or material and then based on this creating a thesis statement that shows the interpretation of the author that is later developed through evidence. Because of this, analytical essays do not only describe, reports or examines a certain material, but aims at interpreting the material and then proving the interpretation of the author is valid based on the analysis. For example, you can create an analytical essay by interpreting the novel "The Metamorphosis" by Kafka and giving your interpretation of the novel or one point of it. Therefore, the word that best describes the purpose of an analytical essay is "interpret".
C is the answer because when you analyze anything you interpret the story
