Select the best transition to show contrast.a. as well as
b. similarly
c. however
d. at the same time

Answers

C. However

"As well as" and "similarly" both show similarity, not contrast, so A and B are not correct. "At the same time" can be used to show contrast, but "however" is always used to show contrast, so it is the correct answer.
'Hpwever' is the only one that shows contrast.

Jessica ____ an excellent skier. which verb completes the sentence with a linking verb a.will coach b.knows c.followed d.will be

Answers

The correct answer is D. Will be

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb is a type of verb that links or connect the subject or agent in the sentence to a noun or adjective in the predicate and through this relationship describes the subject or agent. Most common linking verbs include verbs such as be, look, seem or become that describe some state, condition or relationship that is not controlled by the subject, contrary to describing an action as in other types of verbs. Considering this, from the list provided the only linking verb is the verb to be in its future form or "will be" as this verb connects the subject "Jessica" to the adjective and noun "an excellent skier" and does not describe an action controlled by Jessica but rather a possible future condition or situation. Thus, the verb that completes the sentence with a linking verb is D. Will be.

Jessica "will be" an excellent skier.

live beneath the Tree of the Great Long Leaves.

Answers

In paragraph six of the Iroquois Constitution, the smoke symbolizes the idea that the Five Nations are united under the Great Peace. 

The Iroquois Constitution or the Great Law of Peace is a great oral narrative, it documents the formation of a League of nations which include the Cayuga, Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida and Seneca, later on in 1722 a six nation was included, the Tuscarora. It was made to stop the fighting between them.

The smoke symbolizes the idea that the Five Nations are united under the Great Peace.

"The Smoke of the Confederate Council Fire shall ever  ascend and pierce the sky so that other nations who may be allies may see the Council Fire of the Great Peace."

We can see that the smoke is used a signal, the indians used it to communicate through the distance as it "pierces the sky" or is seen from far away. In this case it sends the message to the allies that the Council still exists and therefore the nations shall be united, stopping aggressions between them.
