Read the excerpt from Life on the Mississippi. About this time Mr. Bixby appeared on the scene. Something like a minute later I was climbing the pilot-house steps with some of my clothes on and the rest in my arms. Mr. Bixby was close behind, commenting. Here was something fresh—this thing of getting up in the middle of the night to go to work. It was a detail in piloting that had never occurred to me at all. I knew that boats ran all night, but somehow I had never happened to reflect that somebody had to get up out of a warm bed to run them. I began to fear that piloting was not quite so romantic as I had imagined it was; there was something very real and work-like about this new phase of it. How does the excerpt reflect the fact that this novel is a realist text?
Mark Twain's 'Life on the Mississippi' demonstrates characteristics of realism through detailed, true-to-life accounts, honest portrayal of everyday life, and the use of vivid imagery to portray the authentic experiences of a steamboat pilot.
The excerpt from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi reflects the characteristics of a realist text by presenting a detailed, true-to-life account of the narrator's experiences and observations. Twain uses first-person point of view to express his initial naivety and subsequent disillusionment with the romantic notions of piloting a steamboat, shifting to acknowledge the hard, tangible work involved in such a job. This honest portrayal of everyday life, where the character confronts the stark reality of his profession, is a hallmark of realist literature.
Furthermore, Twain's use of vivid imagery and personal narrative within this memoir allows readers to understand and visualize the authentic experiences of a steamboat pilot. This style of writing, with attention to detail and an emphasis on character development over plot, is indicative of the mid-19th century literary style within American realism, providing insight into the social and occupational realities of the time.

What type of budget involves placing money into envelopes?
Mental budget
Physical budget
Written budget
Software budget
The correct answer is B.
A budget is an estimate of income and expenditure for a set period of time.
It is usually based on future plans or objectives.
A mental budget is done in a person's head using no other help than his brain. The disadvantage of this type of budget is its low reliability, as the estimate may simply be forgotten one day.
A physical budget means putting some money aside in physical gadgets as a way of saving for the future or hard times. It was used before banking was invented and it still practiced all over the world in underdeveloped countries.
Written budget is done on a piece of paper where all the income and expenditures are compared and balanced. This a very reliable way of creating a budget but it requires some knowledge about financial matters.
Software budget means using a software program to help somebody create a budget. This is the most budget making option used today as the user is provided with all the necessary tools, and all he needs to do is to fill in some numbers.
The correct answer is B. Physical budget
Explanation:
In finance, a budget refers to the amount of money you plan to spend during a certain time or for a specific purpose. Also, budgets can be general or specific, for example, if you are organizing a party you might set a financial plan or budget that includes multiple elements such as drinks, food, music, entertainment, etc. Besides this, there are many ways of creating a budget as you can just plan it in your mind (mental budget), write it down in a paper (written budget), use a software (software budget) or take the money you are going to spend and separate this physically by putting it in different drawers, boxes or envelopes (Physical budget). This means in the type of budget that involves placing money into envelopes is a physical budget.
The choices below include three dependent clauses and one independent clause. Identify the independent clause. A) When time ran off the clock Eliminate B) After the frosty silence in the gardens C) He hit a shot at the buzzer D) Before our time together comes to a close
Answer:
C) He hit a shot at the buzzer
Explanation:
A clause is a group of related words that have a subject and a verb; it can be either dependent or independent. Independent clauses express a complete thought and they can stand alone as a full sentence. Dependent clauses, on the other hand, do not express a complete thought on its own, and therefore it cannot stand on its own (They depend on another clause to make sense).
From all the choices, option C: "He hit a shot at the buzzer" is the independent clause because it is the only one that expresses a complete thought on its own and can stand alone as a full sentence.

If m∠BGF = 152°, what is m∠AGF? °
64 degrees
92 degrees
180 degrees
240 degrees
Answer: ∠AGF = 64° (A)
Explanation:
According to the diagram,
∠BGF = ∠AGB + ∠AGF
152° = 88° + ∠FGA
∠AGF = 152° - 88°
∠AGF = 64°
Angle AGF is 64 degrees
The sum of angles at a point sum up to 360 degrees. In the given diagram, G represents the point. This means that angles BGC, CGD, DGE, EGF and FGA would add up to 360 degrees.
Angle BGF comprises Angle BGA and Angle AGF. Given the value of angle BGF and angle BGA, the value of angle AGF can be determined by subtracting angle BGA from angle BGF
Angle AGF = angle BGF - angle BGA
152° - 88° = 64°
