Aumakua Read the passage and correct the the words that don't match the others in the
list.
The ancient Hawaiians had different customs from other Western cultures of the
time, and by the time they came into communication with other groups they had
developed their own rich cultural heritage. They went about their lives by surviving
off the land, following strict social rules, and respected their aumakuas, or "family
gods." Unlike more powerful gods such as Pele, the fiery goddess of volcanoes,
aumakuas were spiritual guides for individual families. They were known for
appearing in people's dreams, saved people from harm, and bringing about good
fortune to people in need.
Like the spirit guides of other religions, aumakuas were said to be able to shape-shift.
They could appear as a shark lurking on the ocean floor or a hawk circling the skies.
Out of respect for these spirit guides, the Hawaiian people paid tribute to them,
asked for their guidance, and consider them to be family.

a, b, and c are all correct.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).

c. when the head chef asks the applicants to make any creative dish they like (i did the usatestprep)
