Which word or phrase from the third paragraph BEST develops the idea that Phil did not find immediate success?
A) He used
B) At first
C) He also made
D) but that was not
Duck Commander
Lyndon Crestfill
It is not easy to start up a business from scratch, but Phil Robertson made it look easy. There is an old saying, “If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.” This saying turned out to be true for Phil and his love of duck hunting.
Phil grew up in rural Louisiana with six brothers and sisters. His family was poor, so hunting was an important way to get food and money. As a boy, Phil was a good hunter, but he was good at other things as well. In high school, he played many sports, including football, baseball, and track. He was such a great football player that he earned a college scholarship to Louisiana Tech. After graduating from college, he went back to the woods he called home. He returned to hunting again and he realized that the duck calls (special whistles that trick ducks into coming when they hear the sound) did not work so well. He wanted a duck call that would sound just like a real duck. So, in 1972, Phil began working on his new invention, a duck call that he named the Duck Commander.
At first, he did not sell many Duck Commanders. He made $8,000 during his first year, but that was not enough money to take care of his wife and four children. Still, Phil did not give up. He began the Duck Commander Company in 1973. He used his home for a factory and his family helped him make, package, and ship all the calls. He also made videos of himself explaining and showing how to use the duck calls. Some television networks saw his videos and thought that the family would make an interesting reality television show. Today, the Robertson family stars in the extremely popular reality show, Duck Dynasty. His company is now worth millions of dollars!
Because of hard work and dedication, Phil turned a good idea into a great business. He also proved that there is some truth in the old “build a better mousetrap” saying.
Answers
Answer:
B
Explanation:
"At first" describes how he really struggled. It shows the lack of immediate success the best.
At first is the word or phrase from the third paragraph best develops the idea that Phil did not find immediate success. Hence, option B is correct.
What caused Duck Dynasty to end?At its height, "Duck Dynasty" was one of the most popular television shows, drawing about 12 million viewers every episode. However, there were just 2.6 million viewers left by Season 11. Given the dramatic drop in viewers, it makes sense that A&E decided to cancel the program.
The television show depicts the Robertson family, who became successful thanks to their family-owned business Duck Commander. The Duck Commander duck call is made by a firm in West Monroe, Louisiana specifically for duck hunters.
Willie Robertson is the CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander as well as the star of "Duck Dynasty" on A&E. Robertson has expanded his family's businesses from a small operation run out of his living room to a multimillion dollar conglomerate.
Thus, option B is correct.

Excerpt from Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
Read the passage and then select which two statements best describe a central idea in the passage?
It goes a long way back, some twenty years. All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: That I am nobody but myself. But first I had to discover that I am an invisible man!
And yet I am no freak of nature, nor of history. I was in the cards, other things having been equal (or unequal) eighty-five years ago. I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time been ashamed. About eighty-five years ago they were told that they were free, united with others of our country in everything pertaining to the common good, and, in everything social, separate like the fingers of the hand. And they believed it. They exulted in it. They stayed in their place, worked hard, and brought up my father to do the same. But my grandfather is the one. He was an odd old guy, my grandfather, and I am told I take after him. It was he who caused the trouble. On his deathbed he called my father to him and said, "Son, after I'm gone I want you to keep up the good fight. I never told you, but our life is a war and I have been a traitor all my born days, a spy in the enemy's country ever since I give up my gun back in the Reconstruction. Live with your head in the lion's mouth. I want you to overcome 'em with yeses, undermine 'em with grins, agree 'em to death and destruction, let 'em swoller you till they vomit or bust wide open." They thought the old man had gone out of his mind. He had been the meekest of men. The younger children were rushed from the room, the shades drawn and the flame of the lamp turned so low that it sputtered on the wick like the old man's breathing. "Learn it to the younguns," he whispered fiercely; then he died.
But my folks were more alarmed over his last words than over his dying. It was as though he had not died at all, his words caused so much anxiety. I was warned emphatically to forget what he had said and, indeed, this is the first time it has been mentioned outside the family circle. It had a tremendous effect upon me, however. I could never be sure of what he meant. Grandfather had been a quiet old man who never made any trouble, yet on his deathbed he had called himself a traitor and a spy, and he had spoken of his meekness as a dangerous activity. It became a constant puzzle which lay unanswered in the back of my mind. And whenever things went well for me I remembered my grandfather and felt guilty and uncomfortable. It was as though I was carrying out his advice in spite of myself. And to make it worse, everyone loved me for it. I was praised by the most lily-white men of the town. I was considered an example of desirable conduct—just as my grandfather had been. And what puzzled me was that the old man had defined it as treachery. When I was praised for my conduct I felt a guilt that in some way I was doing something that was really against the wishes of the white folks, that if they had understood they would have desired me to act just the opposite, that I should have been sulky and mean, and that that really would have been what they wanted, even though they were fooled and thought they wanted me to act as I did. It made me afraid that some day they would look upon me as a traitor and I would be lost. Still I was more afraid to act any other way because they didn't like that at all. The old man's words were like a curse.

Answer:
Day 1: Ben Ross shows his students a documentary on the Holocaust. He' upset when he realizes that his students have questions about the Holocaust that he can't answer – he wishes he could give them more.
Day 2: Ben decides to try an experiment that will help his students understand how it was possible for the Nazis to gain control without someone stopping them.
And the experiment begins: he starts by showing them how they can be more disciplined by adjusting their posture and following certain rules. The students already love Ben and they seem to enjoy the exercise.
Day 3: Ben's students want more of what went down the day before, so he goes along with it. He creates a group called The Wave, complete with a logo, mottos, and a salute. One student, David Collins, thinks The Wave can help Gor don High's lo sing football team, and he starts teaching his teammates about the rules of the group.
David's gf, Laurie Saunders, is kind of excited about The Wave, too. But, when she tells her parents about it, her mom freak out and Laurie wonders if she has a point. In fact, something about The Wave just creeps her out. (Hey, Shmoop is feeling a little creeped out, too.) Mean while, Ben's wi-fe Christy is also concerned about The Wave and she hopes her hus-band isn't getting into something he can't control.
Day 4: Laurie and David get into a tiff on the way to school when she voices her doubts about The Wave. In class that day, Ben gives his students Wave membership cards, which designate some students as "monitors" who are supposed to report Wave members who break the rules. (Uh oh.) He also tells his students that they need to start taking action, action to benefit The Wave. He orders them to recruit new members. (Double uh oh.)
Laurie is increasingly doubtful about The Wave, but her friends get angry when she mentions it. Plus, The Wave seems to be really helping Robert Billings, the class lo.ser. Now that they have The Wave, students accept Robert and he's actually becoming a leader. So it can't be all bad, right? Right?!
On this day, Ben realizes how big The Wave is becoming and he hopes he has it under control.
Day 5: A lot goes down on this day.
Laurie, editor of the school newspaper, gets an anonymous letter from a student complaining that Wave members are bull-ying other students to try to make them jo.in The Wa.ve. Not good.
Robert Billings asks Ben if he can be Ben's bo.dy.guard – Ben agrees. Um?
The pep-rally for Saturday's football game becomes a Wa.ve rally, and some two hundred new members jo.in. Yik.es.
When Laurie refuses to go to the rally, David breaks up with her. So, she hangs out in the publication office of the school paper with other staff members while the Wa.ve members rally. Laurie's had enough: she decides to investigate The Wave and write an expo.sé about it for the paper.
Day 6: At the football game, Laurie tries to go into the blea.chers to talk to her friend Amy, but is told that she can't go up unless she gives The W.ave salute. She refuses to give the salute and just heads on out. (Pretty cool how she stands by what she believes in, even with intense peer pressure.)
Day 7: On Sunday, Laurie and the school paper staff have an emergency mee.tin.g to flesh out their special issue on The Wave.
Day 8: The special issue is published, which inspires many more students to come forward with bad stories about The Wave. Ben is in big trouble with the principal and many parents, and he knows he has to find a way to stop this mess before things get worse.
After a creepy experience after hours for Laurie in school, David begs Laurie to stop criticizing The Wave. She refuses and he gets physical with her, throwing her to the ground.. Immediately, David realizes what he's done. The Wave has made him forget who he really is and what he really cares about. He and Laurie make up (that was quick!) and go to Ben's house to beg him to stop The Wave.

“Opinion: Emoticons Aren’t Ruining Language.”
5. What evidence does the author use to support the reasons?
Answers
then you follow me The emoticon: more than a face
Today, people are able to communicate rapidly through a range of mediums – and perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the ubiquitous emoticon.
The emoticon :) – a colon followed by a parenthesis – is a visual representation of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any number of facial expressions, it doesn’t represent a face, as many internet users assume. It’s actually intended to convey a feeling (“I’m happy,” or “just joking”).
This meaning is evident even in the first emoticon, credited to Scott Fahlman at Carnegie Mellon University. In a 1982 e-mail, Fahlman suggested :-) as a “joke marker” to indicate wisecracks or sarcasm in text communication. In this legendary e-mail, he also used the first instance of the frown emoticon :-(.
Words that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles, or little pieces of language that convey information about the tone of the statement. Folklorist Lee-Ellen Marvin called them the “paralanguage of the internet, the winks which signal the playfulness of a statement over the seriousness it might denote.”
In a study of instant messaging, scholar Shao-Kang Lo describes emoticons as “quasi-nonverbal cues” – something that looks like a word, but performs the functions of a nonverbal cue, like a hand gesture or nod.
In fact, the variations in how you construct this emoticon can imply something about your identity, just like whether you use a soda, pop or Coke can suggest what part of the United States you come from. For example, as linguist and data scientist Tyler Schnoebelen pointed out in a 2012 study, people who put a “nose” in their emoticons tend to be older than non-nose emoticon users.
Though emoticons have been the subject of numerous studies, individual symbols – which serve a different purpose than emoticons – can add meaning to a message or express meaning all on their own. ex joy,melancholy,indifference ,astonishment .plz follow me entrust .nice study bye.

Understanding the properties of a theoretical distribution of means of samples of size n is important because it helps in drawing inferences about the population parameters.
Even if in practice you will only select a single sample, it is still important to understand the properties of the theoretical distribution of means of samples of size n because it helps in interpreting the characteristics of the sample.
The theoretical distribution of means of samples of size n gives us an idea of the distribution of all the possible means that can be drawn from the population.
