Hello, You have not informed which decision the question refers to. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which featured the text "The Other Wes Moore" and asked for an explanation of Wes' decision to chase Ray down a street while shooting at him. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer:
Wes makes this decision to get revenge on Ray and not appear weak in front of the community, but to command respect and fear. He might not have made such a violent decision, but he could have looked for legal ways to resolve this situation.
Explanation:
Wes was beaten by Ray. In addition to the pain and shame he went through in that situation, he felt that it would make him a weak person and for that reason, he should get revenge, but to make him strong and respectable, revenge should be something much bigger than what Ray did and so he decided to use a gun and run after Ray while firing shots at him, trying to kill him. Wes could have made more peaceful and legal decisions, such as denouncing Ray's actions, but the fear of losing a reputation made him take extreme actions.
"The Other Wes Moore" shows how people's fates can be completely different when they have access to positive or negative resources. This idea is presented by the lives of two boys named Wes Moore, who were born in dysfunctional environments, but who took different approaches to the world around them, totally changing their destiny.

"Broken Chain”
Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-offs would notice. And the guys would think he was tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.
"Fish Cheeks”
When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?

[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman?
[ANTONY.] Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honourable man.

Do the Relative Pronouns take the place of a verb?
A. True
B. False
Answer:
I believe it's true.
Explanation:
It is in fact possible, however, for the relative pronouns which, who, and that to be either singular or plural. They take their number from their antecedent—the words to which they refer. That is, if the antecedent is plural, the pronoun is plural and therefore takes a plural verb.
Use the simple present, past, or future (will + verb) from of the verb in parentheses
I ____ to your party if you really want me to. (Come)
She ____ happy when she heard the bad news. (Be, not)
______ you ______ me next weekend? (Call)

The correct answer is 4. No, because he digresses into another topic and does not address historical knowledge.
Explanation
At the beginning of the paragraph, the author announces the sentence "In no other department is a thorough knowledge of history so important as a philosophy". However, nowhere in the paragraph does he develop this idea, on the contrary, he mentions other issues such as the relationship between philosophy and other fields such as exact inqury, the arts (as he mentioned in "on the other hand, in touch with exact inquiry, while, on the other, it has a certain relationship with art"), natural sciences, metaphysical principles, among others. From the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is 4. No, because he digresses into another topic and does not address historical knowledge.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Read the excerpt from "Thoughts on the Works of Providence" by Phillis Wheatley and complete the sentence that follows. Arise, my soul, on wings enraptur'd, rise To praise the monarch of the earth and skies, Whose goodness and beneficence appear As round its centre moves the rolling year, Or when the morning glows with rosy charms, Or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms: Of light divine be a rich portion lent To guide my soul, and favour my intent. The excerpt has the characteristics of a poem, including its usage of and its style of language.
Answer:
The excerpt has the characteristics of a Neoclassical poem, including its usage of heroic couplets and its elevated style of language.
Explanation:
The poem presented in the question above has characteristics of neoclassicist poetry. Neoclassicism was an artistic movement that began in Europe and aimed to retake classical ideas, opposing exaggeration, modernities and complexities. Within literature, this artistic style encouraged the use of elaborate words, but within a simple simplicity that allowed a greater approximation between the public and the writing. One of the main features of this period was the use of heroic couplets, as can be seen in the poem above through the presence of a pair of rhymed lines in the iambic pentameter.

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:
Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered.
The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader.
Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice?
It is the trickiest door to open.
The ancients invented it.
Only the writer hears it.
The reader will always hear it.
Answer: It is the trickiest door to open.
Explanation:
We can infer from the text that the author here believes that the voice of a character is very challenging to hear from the phrase about it being the trickiest door to open and the hardest to close. This is therefore the author's opinion about voice.
The second option could not be the answer because they used anima not voice. The third and fourth options are incorrect as well because the writer can hear the voice but the reader does not always hear the voice as they only hear it if the writer does.
REAL ANSWERS NO LINKS!!!! WHAT IS THE MISTAKE AND WHY AND HOW WOULD YOU CORRECT IT?!!?
Answer: For the first one, I'm not entirely sure but I believe it's the, "Sincerely. Thanks," part. When you say "Sincerely" you usually put a comma after it and your name.
For the 2nd one, "Serves" should be "Serve." For the 3rd one, the quotation marks should only be around the words "Best fries" and the "F" in fries should be lower case.

Answer:

- They are used to driving on the right.
- The more we cut trees the more disasters we will suffer.
- Sue has had her car repaired by a mechanic.
- They wish to travel in comfortable buses.
Explanation:
The sentences are rewritten employing the given words. The first sentence is a complex sentence which uses 'so...that' which can be converted into a simple sentence by replacing 'so...that followed by negative' with 'too...to' as mentioned above. Similarly, the complex idea 'that its difficult for them to drive on left' in the second sentence can be simply written that 'they...used to...left' to make it more precise. The two simple sentences in the third part can be transformed into one by using 'the more.' In the fourth sentence, the emphasis can be shifted to Sue and her car by turning it into passive form. While in the last sentence, the two distinct sentences can be united to convey the implied meaning that they yearn for travelling through comfortable buses.
