What is the theme of this poemm!!!?? Helpp::
You've been up on that diving board
Making sure that it's nice and straight.
You've made sure that it's not too slick.
You've made sure that it can stand the weight.
You've made sure that the spring is tight.
You've made sure that the cloth won't slip.
You've made sure that it bounces right,
And that you pr toes can get a grip-
And you've been up there since half past five
Doin' everything...but DIVE.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A theme of this poem is to take advantage of opportunities in the world and to avoid excuses and them getting in the way of you seizing these opportunities.  This theme fits the poem because the character in the poem is doing absolutely everything that they can and wasting a large amount of time making excuses, instead of just seizing the moment and taking a chance and diving.  Hope this helps!
Answer 2
Answer: The theme is to stop procrastinating or making up excuses and steady talking about something you're gonna do or wanna do, and just do it. A shorter theme can also be: actions speak louder than words.

#3 is correct.

Problems with the others:
#1 - "is being" should be "are being" because "goods" is plural
#2 - "have" should be "has" and "is" should be "are" (boxes and goods are plural)
#4 - "have" should be "has" (boxes are plural)

Answers

Answer: I believe D is the incorrect sentence that is written incorrectly.

Explanation: It is either you forgot to type the letter, or this is the answer otherwise, i cannot find the correct answer. But, D is the sentence written incorrectly because you said, "I had heard that the meeting would last approximately one hou", you forgot the r at the end and also a period.

What does "Say "I can" or say" I can't", and you're right either way." mean??

Answers

It means that the way to look at a situation will affect how you act. If you go into a quiz or test at school saying to yourself "I can't do this" then you are more likely to not do well because of your mind set. On the other hand, if you go into the same test saying "I can do this!" then you are more likely to succeed because you believe in yourself. It's all about your mental mind set. 
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I missed something :) 
It means that you are exactly what you say you are.
Our mental attitudes determines the thoughts we have and our thoughts determine the words we say and as a man thinks in his heart so he is. This means that if you think it is impossible for you to fail, then you will discover that your efforts will be helped by situations and circumstances around you and you will succeed because you have created a positive energy around you by your words. On the other hand, if you think you can not succeed, then you will not, because your words will create negative situations around you that will ensure that you fail. So, at the end you get exactly what you say you will get.
