By 1911, many believed the commission plan was
an example of how scientific thinking could be
applied to government. Read the quote below.
The strongest feature of the commission plan
of city government is its perfect simplicity, its
directness ... in limiting the number of those
directly charged with the management of the
city's affairs.
- E. R. Cheesborough Why would the author of this quotation say the
commission plan has "perfect simplicity"?
All the power to make decisions rests with
one person: the mayor.
There are only four commissioners, and each
has a specific area of responsibility.
The system is too simple to meet the needs
of a modern city.

to describe those fishes more thoroughly, some of those fishes live in fresh water, and some of the fishes live in salt water, and that is not a thing that they all have in common. the question is asking what is common with all of the fish, so answer choices 2). fresh water and 4). salt water are not right.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
