From paragraph 3 (“The hot . . . summer jobs”) to paragraph 4 (“So there . . . Didymus”), the narrative shifts from A. a description of the travelers in an airport to a chronological sketch of Adam’s scientific studies
B. a focus on the weather conditions near the airport to a discussion of Dr. O’Keefe’s work
C. an overview of Adam’s travel plans to a detailed list of his specific itinerary in Lisbon
D. an account of Adam’s experiences in the airport to a discussion of his recent past

jessica, a teenage girl who just wants popularity, does everything to get attention. she puts her hair in a bun and steals her mom's lipstick and such. but then she takes something and it makes her inside and outside appearance  go bad.

i just came up with that in less than 60 seconds, but tweak it up if you like it.

explanation:

you didn't give a theme but i did a question like this a while ago so i hope this is what you were looking for.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
