silver because it is a color that is able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat,light or form of energy like on cones.
Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?
Because elderly people are old and are falling apart whether children are more flexible and have more energy
Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?
A vine because it was made to grow and to stick together.
Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?
The olympics is more seldom because it is every 4 years and a election in nz is like every 3 years.

Word Relationships

How might each pair of words be connected?
Vulnerable/Fluorescent
The meaning of the words mean they are both able to achieve something.
Void/interconnected
Nothing because a void is a empty space and the word interconnected is where something connectes.

Extended Writing
Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
I received an award one day and now it happens very seldom. I never receive awards for anything anymore.
