Neon signs are often placed in storefronts to attract customers. The very first display of glass tubes filled
with colorful, ignited neon gas was meant to attract only attention, however. In 1910 at the Paris Exposition,
two straight tubes filled with lit neon gas were displayed to show off the new technology. It was not until
1912 that glass tubes were bent into a written message and put in the window of a barber shop to entice
people to come in
Question
According to the passage, the tubes displayed at the Paris Exposition were
placed in the window of a barber shop
designed to attract customers to purchase goods
meant to attract attention to a new technology
used to convey a written message

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1912 Claude installed the first-ever neon advertising sign in a Parisian barbershop on the Boulevard Montmartre. A large rooftop sign for the Italian vermouth maker Cinzano soon followed, along with illumination for the entrance of the Paris Opéra. Ne or neon gas is used for advertising signs, as are other noble gases. ... The gas itself has no color until an electric charge is applied that alters the structure of the Ne molecules. Neon gas only produces a reddish orange color light, so other inert gases are used to make other colors.

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed

threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with
which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is
unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to
make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I

The book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, and he searches for a white whale.
Which revision corrects the faulty coordination in the sentence?

A)The book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, who searches for a white whale.

B)Searching for a white whale, the book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab.

C) Moby Dic , which is a book about Captain Ahab and searching for a white whale.

D) Captain Ahab, who searches for a white whale in Moby Dic, is a book.

Answers

Answer:

A) The book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, who searches for a white whale.

Explanation:

Faulty coordination refers to the coordination of the clauses in the sentence. This means that the clauses must coordinate with each other in a sentence.

The given sentence "the book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, and he searches for a white whale" can be changed in the following way-

The book Moby Dic is about Captain Ahab, who searches for a white whale.

This structure coordinates the form by using the relative pronoun to refer to the noun "Captain Ahab".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.  

The parentheses portion of the sentence is a ?

The harsh wind sourced the scant remaining leaves from the trees, (and a desolate landscape remained in its wake)

A. A coordinating conjunction

B. A dependent clause

C. An independent clause

D. A subordinating conjunction

Answers

Answer: C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".

Answers

Answer:

The sentence at the end of the article contributes to the meaning of the entire text because it shows how buying for experiences is more peaceful, less stressful and more profitable than buying products.

Explanation:

The article "You Can Buy Happiness, If It's An Experience" shows the human being is happier buying an experience than a product. This is because product purchase is stressful, competitive and often violent. We have examples of violence during promotional events such as black fridays, where we see people attacking each other in order to buy a particular product. Buying an experience, like a cruise trip for example, is a much more peaceful, exciting, surprising and sociable situation. The idea of buying an experience is much happier and more fruitful, mainly because we don't have stressful events related to it. The last sentence of the article reinforces this idea and shows how with less stress we are happier, which is the subject portrayed in the text.

He did not like the fact that Man did not produce anything but was always consuming and using the animals for his own selfish purpose. He wanted the animals to revolt against Man but in doing this, he did not want them to become like Man. Thus, he listed several vices of man that he hoped the animals will never adopt.

For him, anything that walked on two legs was to be hated while anything that walked on four legs or flew was to be loved.

Explanation:

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on 18 July 1918 in the Transkei village close Umtata. Nelson Mandela was sent to Healdtown, a Wesleyan secondary school with some reputation where he enrolled after getting a primary education at a local mission school. He then registered for the Bachelor of Arts degree at Fort Hare University College where he was appointed to the Representative Council of the Student. Also, he was suspended for joining a protest boycott from college. He went to Johannesburg where, by correspondence, he finished his BA, took clerkship papers and began studying for his LLB. The Nelson Mandela essay is an insight into the life and works of the great man.

Nelson Mandela essay

The greatest pleasure of Nelson Mandela, his most private moment, is to watch the sunset playing with the music of Händel or Tchaikovsky.

During daylight hours locked up in his cell, deprived of music, he was denied these two simple pleasures for centuries. Concerts were organized with his fellow inmates as far as possible, especially at Christmas time, where they would sing.

Nelson Mandela finds music very uplifting and is interested in European classical music as well as African choral music and the many talents in South African music. But above all, one voice stands out – Paul Robeson’s, whom he defines as our hero.

The years in prison strengthened already engraved practices: athlete’s disciplined eating system started in the 1940s, as did the early morning practice. Nelson Mandela is still up by 4.30am today, regardless of how late he worked last night.

He started his exercise routine by 5 am, which lasts for at least an hour. Breakfast is at 6.30 when newspapers are read during the days. With a normal working day of at nearly 12 hours, time management is critical and Nelson Mandela is highly impatient with impunctuality, considering it to be insulting to those with whom you deal.

Read the passage.


Looking back, I suppose my life started with that letter. I don’t think everything necessarily happens for a reason—there’s too much tragedy in the world for that. But there’s no doubt that some misfortunes turn into pivotal moments that can alter the course of a person’s life for the better. Alma and I have been together for 30 years now, and I still wonder what that other life—the one in which my letter said “congratulations”—might look like. I expect it would have been pretty grand, full of its own triumphs and pitfalls. My children are fresh to the adult world, and when I see their tears as plans go sideways, I like to imagine that someday they’ll sit where I am with people to love, hobbies to pursue, and maybe even a spare dollar in the bank.


Which statement best describes the narrator’s viewpoint regarding obstacles his children face?


A. He ignores their struggles with obstacles because he believes everything happens for a reason.


B. He works to help his children avoid obstacles so that they will never have to wonder how their lives could have gone.


C. He fears the obstacles and worries that life will not turn out as well for his children as it did for him.


D. He regards the obstacles calmly, with the perspective of someone who has faced obstacles and lived through them.


((( I report spam answers )))

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's start with the answer. It has to be D.

The key sentence is this one:

My children are fresh to the adult world, and when I see their tears as plans go sideways, I like to imagine that someday they’ll sit where I am with people to love, hobbies to pursue, and maybe even a spare dollar in the bank.

He's calm because he's been through it all before. Most of all, he knows that this to will end -- whatever problems his children have are only momentary. (As an aside, I would like to hear what his wife says).

A: Not the answer. He doesn't ignore the troubles. If he believes it happens for a reason, he doesn't say what it is.

B: Not the answer: Nowhere does it say anything about future considerations or at least that one.

C: He doesn't fear for them. He has a calm confidence that they will work through it. Not the answer.
