Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year,"
the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas
In their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead,
participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter
their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over
one weekend in February.
What is the main idea of the paragraph that begins "Just to clarify," and explains how contestants count sightings? (5 points)

The contest lasts for only one year and requires little evidence.
These birders use an honor system because most love birding more than winning.
The number of sightings typical "Big Year" birders see is amazing.
The typical records are very hard to break within the timeframe.

"and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
