Tomas was worried. Ms. Garnett had given the deadline for the paper three times when she had given the assignment. She had even made the class write it down. But he had still put it off. He could have done it without any trouble if he had used an hour a day after school to do the research, but instead he played soccer with his friends for two or three hours. At night, he watched TV and did his other homework assignments, which were shorter and didn’t require as much writing. He even did all his chores. The lead time Ms. Garnett had given had vanished, and the 500 words about the civil rights leader Cesar Chavez were due in two days. After school, Tomas went to the library to do some research, but every search terminal was taken. He went to the card catalog and found several promising books, but when he went to get them from the shelves, there was nothing there. Evidently, quite a few of his classmates had put off the assignment just like Tomas.
On the way home, he played with the Fulbright’s new dog and stopped by the soccer field. “Come play with us,” Hector called.
“I can’t, I have to write a paper,” Tomas said.
At home, he hit another brick wall. The family had lost its Internet connection because his mother had not paid the bill, and pay day wasn’t until after his paper was due. Now, he was really scared. “Mom, what am I going to do? Where am I going to find information about Cesar Chavez?”
“Oh, that’s easy,” his mother said. “Go talk to Mateo’s grandfather, he used to be a farm worker.”
“Was Cesar Chavez a farm worker? I thought he was a civil rights leader.”
“Maybe that’s why Ms. Garnett wanted you to write the paper,” his mother said. “Go find Mateo’s grandfather. I bet he can tell you.”
Tomas called Mateo’s house, and the grandfather answered. “Did you know Cesar Chavez?” Tomas blurted out.
“Yes, yes, I did,” he said. “Who is this?”
“Can I come talk to you about him?”
“Who is this?”
“This is Tomas Diego, and I have to write a paper about Cesar Chavez.”
“Okay, but bring plenty of paper,” the grandfather said.

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
