Explanation: As a three-time World Champion, Simone Biles was expected by many to take home the gold in Rio in 2016.
The odds have swiftly turned the 19-year-old into a media darling, which is why she is the latest star to grace the cover of TIME magazine - and is branded in the headline as 'The Game Changer'.
She is so far ahead of the pack that even 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin claims that the 4'8 Texan phenom is 'in a caliber with nobody else in the world'.
However, in an interview with TIME, Simone revealed that there is one serious downside to being the best in the world. ' I feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion - it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen,' she said. 'That kind of stresses me out a bit.'
And the pressure isn't just on Simone to win the individual all-around gold. She will also be expected to help defend the Team gold that the legendary Fierce Five won at the London 2012 Games.
She will be joined in the task by the current Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas, her fellow Fierce Five teammate Aly Raisman, and two other Olympic debuts: Laurie Hernandez, 16, and Madison Kocian, 19.

Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.
By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of troublemaking friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Alcatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUDY ALCATRAZ, the name on the "Wanted" poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me?
I NEED THIS FAST!!! Which main idea is conveyed in this passage?
Julia’s nicknames help her fit into her new culture.
Julia is determined to hold on to her Dominican identity.
Julia is happier when she is with her family.
Julia’s Dominican name makes it difficult to fit in.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The main idea conveyed in the passage is Julia’s nicknames help her fit into her new culture. The opening line of the chapter claims that Julia was a popular student in high school and that her name reflected such popularity. Hence option A is correct.
Her close pals referred to her as Hey Jude or Jules, both of which are American names. The paragraph also indicates that she was given the nickname Alcatraz by a bunch of rowdy friends, which is an Americanized form of her Dominican name, Hoo-lee-tah.
The chapter continues by stating that Julia's family members referred to her as Hoo-lee-tah, although she would just as soon have them return home. This shows that Julia is attempting to adapt to American society while putting space between herself and her Dominican roots.

Read the paragraph below, look for the big idea.
Many flowers are what we call annuals. Their entire life cycle — from seed to death — takes just one year. They might leave behind sleeping seeds that could sprout again in the future, but the flowers, roots, stems and leaves all fade away as soon as the season is done. Sunflowers and petunias are examples of annuals. Some plants technically last a little longer, but not in a way humans can truly appreciate. Biennials take two years to start flowering instead of shooting up in a single spring. But they still wither and die once the flowers are gone. One to look for is a foxglove, a tall plant with clusters of bell-shaped blooms, often in pink or purple. Then there are perennials, which can survive for years. Scientists believe these types of plants came first.
What is the main idea the author is trying to make about plants?
Perennials are a special type of plant
Scientists think perennials are the first type of plant that existed.
Plants have different life cycles depending on the type of plant.
There are different names for plants

When are sentence fragments used in stage directions?

Answer:
Please give brainliest.
Explanation:
Use Sentence Fragments Sparingly and When the Story Calls for It. Sentence fragments in fiction can be a useful way of conveying pace, tone, and intensity. However, overuse can lead to lazy writing—fragments should be used sparingly, and for a good storytelling purpose. I think it’s when the cast of characters includes just two characters I’m not 100% right on this
