PLEASE HELP Read this excerpt from The Land, Part 4.

"If it makes no difference," I said, "then just go ahead and mess up and end up not going. You figure you want to go, though, then you treat those horses like you always do, and you keep your temper, even around your daddy." Mitchell didn't say anything. He just gave me a look and walked away, but I knew I'd gotten to him.

How does Mitchell ensure that he is invited on the trip with Paul and Paul’s father?
A. by keeping his temper in check in front of Paul’s father
B. by convincing Paul to ask him to go with them
C. by doing extra work with Paul’s father’s horses
D. by talking to Paul’s father about the trip

C. By doing extra work with Paul's father's horses.

Explanation:

Through process of elimination, B can go, because he's not saying to directly ask his father. Then, A, is saying keep his temper in check for Paul's father, which is not true, it's for his own father.

Lastly, I would eliminate D because in the excerpt, it says nothing about particularly talking to his father.

many scientists' predictions of climate change include: warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent storms.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
