5. As the holiday season ended, Bertha Berger struggled to put on her blue jeans. They
seemed much tighter than usual, so she stepped on the bathroom scale and received
the bad news. She had never seen such a high number on the little scale, so she
resolved to change. That day she threw out all the junk food in her fridge and went
grocery shopping. Determined to lose weight, she bought low-fat versions of all her
favorite foods. She had a low-sodium bacon sandwich with a diet soda for lunch. The
sandwich contained over 1,200 calories but very little salt. For dinner she ate two turkey
burgers with reduced-fat cheese. Though she had consumed over 2,000 calories,
Bertha felt like she deserved a reward. So for dessert she ate two low-calorie ice-cream
sandwiches. And before bed she ate a bag of baked potato chips, which are healthier
than normal chips. She dipped them in low-fat cream cheese. Bertha had consumed
around 6,500 calories that day, but she felt skinny. When she woke up the next morning,
she stepped on the scale. She couldn't wait to see how successful her diet had been.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?    'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.  look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,  the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'     see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,   the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,   and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover   and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.  'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,  he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.   see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' - - 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.   'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives.some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers.others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle.however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario.we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled.by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.
