Select the word that can be defined as "something that can trigger a change"

With proper stimulus, the brain can develop,
strengthen, and build intelligence. For example, if
you learn about the Pythagorean Theorem in
geometry during the last 2 weeks of school before
summer break and continue to study the theorem
during your vacation, you will build up your
intelligence in relation to that topic. However, the
same goes for if you did not continue your studies
over the break. More than likely, because the
information was not used, it will be replaced and
forgotten.

Cherries cost $4/lb. Grapes cost $2.50/lb. You can spend no more than $15 on fruit, and you need at least 4 lb in all. What is a graph showing the amount of each fruit you can buy?

Graph precisely and include important graph detail: label axes and indicate their scale, include arrows at the ends of solid or dashed boundary lines, shade one side or the other of each boundary line in the system. Use a shading technique that makes it easy to determine which regions are shaded once, twice, and not at all. If you need assistance, please ask.

Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
