The graph described is a pie chart, used for representing categorical data about student classifications by year. It visually shows the distribution of students across different years, making it easy to compare the proportions of each category.
Explanation:The graph mentioned in the question, based on its description, is a pie chart. A pie chart is used to represent data in a circular graph where each slice represents a proportion of the whole. This pie chart specifically shows categorical data related to the classification of students by their year (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors), making it an excellent choice for visualizing the distribution of categories within a dataset. Pie charts are ideal for this purpose because they can easily compare parts of a whole, making it simple to see, for instance, which class level has the most or least students without relying on exact numbers.
In summary, the pie chart's subject matter involves showing qualitative data, which in this context refers to the different classifications of students within a particular educational setting.

What are two literary themes that can be determined from above description
Answer:
Explanation:
Nadia’s Stage Fright
Clark Benson
Nadia sat at the piano, tapping her shoe to keep time with the rhythm of the song she had been practicing for a month. Her dog Lucky, her biggest fan, lay near her feet. At first, Nadia had to shoo him away and distract him with his favorite toy, a blue rubber ball. But now, Lucky had found the ideal spot on the floor; close enough to be near Nadia, but far enough away that he wouldn’t disturb her playing.
2Nadia had practically perfected this particular song, but she had to perform it at the school talent show and was relentless in her practicing. Before she started to play, she had a routine to prepare herself. First, she would stretch and wiggle her fingers to get them loose for playing. Then, she would take a few deep breaths to relax and clear her mind from the day’s activities. Finally, she would close her eyes and imagine herself playing the song; she envisioned her hands moving along the keys.
After Nadia performed this routine, the song seemed to flow freely from her fingertips. Of course, she knew well enough that hours of practicing had resulted in her playing the song so well. Still, her routine allowed her to clear her mind and quiet the butterflies in her stomach.
4Nadia knew those butterflies would be worse once she had to play the song in front of her entire school. When she decided to participate in the school talent show, she had chosen a more complicated piece of classical music. Nadia had been playing the piano since she was seven, and she truly wanted to challenge herself.
When the big night finally arrived, Nadia prepared backstage. She watched her classmates display their own various talents. Then came the moment that both excited and terrified her; she was up next.
6The audience’s applause sounded like ocean waves and made her feel welcome. Still, she could feel those butterflies fluttering in her belly, and she felt her palms start to sweat. Nadia had already performed her routine backstage, but it seemed as if it hadn’t worked this time! She sat down on the piano bench and looked at the black and white keys, which seemed unfamiliar now.
7For a moment, she panicked and glanced at the audience in front of her. Nadia spotted her mother in the first row. Seeing her mother made her think of home and Lucky. This time, when she looked down at the piano keys, she imagined she was at home with Lucky beside her. In that moment, her nerves settled as she forgot about the audience eagerly awaiting her performance. Now that it was just her and Lucky, she struck the first note, and the other notes just fell in line with ease. When Nadia hit the last note, she turned to the audience and smiled. Just as she did, the audience erupted in applause.
What does the figure of speech butterflies in her stomach reveal about Nadia?
A) that Nadia has an unusual medical condition in which small butterflies live in her stomach
B) that Nadia is extremely nervous about performing her piano routine in the school talent show
C) that, while Nadia loves her dog Lucky, she has an allergic reaction to his being too close to her
D) that Nadia is confident about her skill as a pianist and can't wait to perform in the school talent show
Answer:
The answer would be B.
Explanation: The expression butterflies in your stomach mean that you are nervous.
The phrase 'butterflies in her stomach' reveals Nadia's extreme nervousness prior to her piano performance in the school talent show. Option B is correct.
The figure of speech 'butterflies in her stomach' is a common idiom that indicates Nadia is extremely nervous about performing in front of an audience. This sensation is a common physical symptom of anxiety and nervousness, often felt before engaging in a public performance or situation where one is the center of attention. In Nadia's case, it signifies the fear and anticipation she feels about performing her piano piece at the school talent show.

What dose Romeo say yo Juliet in the ball
Are there any answer choices?
I haven't read Romeo & Juliet in years, but I will help you when my memory gets refreshed with the choices! Thank you!
Romeo's most famous line to Juliet during their initial interaction at the Capulet's ball is often misattributed to the ball scene but actually comes from the balcony scene, "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun." However, in their first meeting at the ball, Romeo compares Juliet's hand to a holy shrine and their lips as pilgrims.
Explanation:The question pertains to a specific scene in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo first declares his love for Juliet. It occurs during the Capulet's ball in Act 1, Scene 5. One of the most famous lines Romeo says to Juliet in this encounter is:
“But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.”
This line is from a later scene (Act 2, Scene 2), often referred to as the balcony scene, where Romeo secretly admires Juliet as she appears on her balcony. However, during the ball, the interactions between Romeo and Juliet include Romeo taking Juliet's hand, comparing it to a holy shrine, and expressing how he is unworthy. This initial interaction leads to their first kiss, where Romeo refers to his lips as two blushing pilgrims ready to smooth the rough touch with a tender kiss.
