Debate Day

The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly preparing for with his debate team had arrived. It had been three months of long nights studying and practicing.

He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and collected?" he muttered to himself.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his team was feeling.

"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked. "Ready for this?"

Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.

The moderator made a brief announcement, and Dawson approached the podium, rubbing the palms of his hands on his pant legs.

After two hours of intense debate rounds, one of the judges stood to announce the winner. Dawson's team erupted in cheers and began giving each other high fives. Dawson could not hide his relief and elation.

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.

explanation:

according the newton's third law, the force causing the girl accelerate towards the boy will be me with equal counter-force causing the boy to accelerate towards the girl. these forces will be of equal magnitude and allows us to determine the boy's acceleration:

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.

assuming the underlined word is "regnant", the correct answer is b) ruling.

it was the fourth thursday of november and cassey headed down to the woods to pick up the mushrooms mother had told her to to complement the turkey the family was going to have as they did every day.

she usually sweapt the floors and went for water, but today that task was asked to her younger sister since matthew, the only boy, had gone to the town with father in order to find cheap fabrics to make clothes.

the shoe business was not being as profitable as before, so they had decided to make clothes to sell in the village.

today there would not be time to play with mary, her neighbour and friend, to play to be still in water, a game that was not only part of the fun in the village, but also very useful if there happened to be an acciddent when she had to cross the shore by boat, as she had to at least twice a week to visit grandma.

bored and uninterested in the task she had been imposed to do, cassey started to pull up the best mushrooms she could see. suddenly, something hard was found by her tender fingers. she couldn't believe her eyes: a gold ring crowned by a diamond appeared between her fragile fingers

before she had time to think what to do, a deep voice spoke at her back.

- i heard your mum asking you to pick up mushrooms for the turkey - said her beloved tom - would you collect mushrooms for me next day?

- yes, sure. are you planning to invite someone important? - cassey asked.

- of course. i'm planning to invite two families, mine and my wife's. will you marry me? - tom asked on his knees.

cassey looked at the ring, then at tom, and she felt the moisture in her eyes. she hugged him, kissed him and in those simple actions the answer of her life was implied.
