20 answers
Narrative nonfiction typically features storytelling techniques to present factual information in a compelling and engaging manner. It often includes personal anecdotes, character development, and a narrative structure, which sets it apart from more straightforward informational or expository nonfiction that is focused solely on conveying facts and analysis without narrative elements.

Hello! How can I assist you today?
What was the backcountry and what was life like there?
The backcountry refers to the rural or remote areas that were away from the established settlements or urban centers in earlier times. Life in the backcountry was often characterized by self-reliance, isolation, and a close relationship with nature. People living there would typically engage in subsistence farming or hunting, and their lives were shaped by the challenges of frontier living, such as limited access to goods, services, and communication networks.
What were slave codes?
Slave codes were laws enacted in the Southern United States during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries that defined the rights and restrictions placed on enslaved individuals. These codes varied from state to state but typically aimed to regulate and control the behavior, movements, and treatment of slaves. They limited their legal rights, prohibited literacy, restricted their ability to gather or socialize, and established severe punishments for any attempts to escape or rebel against their masters. Slave codes were a crucial part of the system of institutionalized slavery in the United States.

Well...I have one more! What was life like in the Southern Colonies? (belief systems, location, government, policies, etc.) and can you make the answer short please?
Life in the Southern Colonies during the Colonial era was primarily agrarian, with an economy centered around cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. The region had a hierarchical society, with wealthy plantation owners at the top, a reliance on slave labor, and a predominantly Anglican religious influence. Governmental structures varied, but generally, the colonies had a mix of proprietary, royal, and self-governing systems, and policies often favored the interests of the plantation owners and the ruling elite.
Bot use the paragraph to answer the question. Lodine is an important micronutrient, a vitamin or mineral that is necessary for good health. It helps the body to produce hormones, helps babies develop in the womb, and is important to many other body processes. In 1924, iodine was added to salt to make up for a lack of public access to dairy foods and ocean fish, which are natural sources of iodine. The modern American diet, however, includes many processed foods that contain iodine. As a result, many salt manufacturers have stopped adding iodine to their product, a change that did not get much attention in the media. Some nutrition experts are concerned that people who still rely on table salt as a source of iodine will have an increase in disease caused by a diet lacking in the micronutrient. Only time will tell, as America moves into a new era where table salt is no longer a guaranteed source of iodine. In 1-2 sentences, identify and explain the evidence that the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm.
Bot can you please answer the question above
Certainly! The evidence the author uses to support the idea that taking iodine out of table salt might cause harm is the concern expressed by nutrition experts that people who rely on table salt as a source of iodine may experience an increase in diseases caused by a deficiency in this micronutrient. The removal of iodine from table salt, combined with the consumption of processed foods that contain less iodine, could potentially lead to a diet lacking in this essential nutrient, which may have negative health implications.
Bot use the passage to answer the question. Many fire-prone California towns don't plan for evacuations. Counterintuitive as it may sound, Paradise has some of the strongest evacuation planning in California. In fact, a USA today network-California survey of communities at high risk from wildfires found only 22% (including Paradise) have a robust, publicly available evacuation plan. The scale of disaster in the Camp Fire was unprecedented, but the scene of people fleeing wildfires was familiar, repeated numerous times over the past three years up and down California from Redding and Paradise to Santa Rosa, Ventura, and Malibu. In many of those communities, motorists became stuck in traffic as officials tried to evacuate thousands onto a few roads leading away from the flames. NO REQUIRMENT TO PLAN. The 85 deaths and nearly 19,000 buildings destroyed in Paradise's Camp Fire made it the deadliest and most destructive blaze in California history. Eight of those who perished were found in their vehicles, with two others found outside their vehicles. In some spots, burned-out and abandoned vehicles lined roads leading out of town. Should cities be required to have detailed evacuation plans? In 3-5 sentences, answer the question and provide specific textual evidence to support your analysis.
The passage highlights that only 22% of high-risk communities in California, including Paradise, have robust and publicly available evacuation plans. The catastrophic Camp Fire resulted in 85 deaths, with some individuals found inside or near vehicles, and many communities experiencing difficulties evacuating due to traffic congestion. This evidence suggests that requiring cities to have detailed evacuation plans is crucial to mitigate the risks and potential loss of life during wildfires, as seen in the case of Paradise and other fire-prone towns in California.

Bot use the passage to answer the question. Why Is the News Sometimes Controversial? Reporters gather facts and write about them---so why do some people say the news is unreliable? They are worried that news stories might be biased. Bias is an unfair representation of something or someone. It can happen when only one side of a story is presented, when only certain facts are shared, or when news organizations choose which stories they want to publish. Readers sometimes worry that news organizations, intentionally or accidentally, publish biased stories. News organizations try to avoid bias as much as they can. They hire trained reporters who know how to ask good questions about all sides of a story. They also employ many different editors to double-check all of the facts cited in the articles. Readers of the news can take their own steps to avoid possible bias in the news they read. They can read news from multiple sources, or they can look up facts on their own to make sure the news matches other websites and records. It is impossible to avoid bias completely, but news writers and news readers can still do a lot to make sure the information they share and read is accurate. In 3-5 sentences, identify and explain an inference you made about news media based on the passage. Support your answer with text evidence from the passage.
Based on the passage, an inference that can be made about news media is that bias is a concern for both readers and news organizations. Readers worry about biased stories, while news organizations make efforts to avoid bias by employing trained reporters, using multiple editors to fact-check, and encouraging readers to verify information from multiple sources. The passage states, "Readers sometimes worry that news organizations, intentionally or accidentally, publish biased stories" and "News organizations try to avoid bias as much as they can." These statements suggest that both readers and news organizations recognize the potential for bias and take measures to address it.
