Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone. Just then, he noticed a blur of motion on his left, and he turned and saw two Hazleton workers walking toward him. They weren't supposed to be in here! The area was supposed to be sealed off, but they had come in by another route that led through a storeroom. They wore respirators, but nothing covered their eyes. When they saw the two men in space suits, they froze, speechless. Jerry could not see their mouths, but he could see their eyes, wide with astonishment. It was as if they had suddenly discovered that they were standing on the moon. What is the author’s main purpose for including this paragraph?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To entertain readers by illustrating how dramatic the situation is.

Explanation:

Richard Preston's book "The Hot Zone" is a harrowing detail about how the Ebola virus was detected and the efforts of scientists to get a cure. The non-fictional thriller details the events of infection and how desperate and enduring attempts were made to get a cure for the virus.

In the given excerpt from the text, the author reveals the scene where Jerry encountered "two Hazleton workers walking toward him." The information that the two men were not supposed to be in the sealed-off area left them speechless. And the sight of the men in spacesuits left the two men "astonished, ... as if they had suddenly discovered that they were standing on the moon." This scene was mainly for entertainment purposes, with the author illustrating the dramatic nature of the situation.

The rocket girls will now get the recognition they deserve and inspire a new generation of female engineers.” Explain the given sentence in context with the poem ‘As I grew older

Answers

Answer:

Like Langston Hughes' poem declaring dreams achieved, the story of the rocket girls inspired a lot of younger generations, irrespective of gender or race, to dream big and work for it.

Explanation:

The poem "As I grew older" is a poem by Langston Hughes. The poem revolves around a dream, a desire to achieve a lost dream.

The statement "the rocket girls will now get the recognition they deserve and inspire a new generation of female engineers" is in reference to the black women who worked at NASA and participated in the agency's space missions. And as Hughes talks about a dream with a wall so high being achieved, the story of these NASA women shared a similar theme of the achievement of that unforgotten dream.

And so, like the poem's declaration,

My hands!

My dark hands!

Break through the wall!

Find my dream!

Help me to shatter this darkness,

To smash this night,

To break this shadow

Into a thousand lights of sun,

Into a thousand whirling dreams

Of sun!

the rocket girls show how dreams are achievable, no limits. They will now be recognized and appreciated for their contribution to the most important event in the history of space missions for America. And it was the inspiring story of these women of color that would lead future generations with dreams even that are thought unachievable.

Which best describes how the bolded pronoun functions in the following sentence?
Venice is world-famous for ITS glass.

Answers

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

A. It is functioning as a demonstrative pronoun.

B. It is functioning as a relative pronoun.

C. It is functioning as a reflexive pronoun.

D. It is functioning as an antecedent.

Answer:

The pronoun "its" in the sentence:

D. is functioning as an antecedent.

Explanation:

Being totally honest, the correct classification for "its" would be "possessive adjective". But, since that is not an option, we should work by eliminating the obviously wrong alternatives and choosing the one that seems most appropriate.

The demonstrative pronouns are "this, that, these, those, none, and either". Therefore, we can eliminate option A.

The relative pronouns are "who, which, that, whom, when, why, etc." "Its" is not one of them, so we can eliminate option B.

Reflexive pronouns end in "self" or "selves", such as "myself, yourself, oneself, etc." Thus, letter C is also wrong.

The only choice that is applicable is letter D. Originally, the antecedent is the word that is substituted by the pronoun. Perhaps, they mean to say that "its" is being used so that "Venice" is not used twice.

Read the paragraph.
Enkidu, who had met the beast, warned Gilgamesh of the dangers involved, explaining that Gilgamesh did not "know the horror that lurks ahead." Upon seeing the beast Humbaba, Gilgamesh himself became seized with dread and terror. However, despite Enkidu’s warning and his own temporary paralysis upon seeing Humbaba, Gilgamesh charged at Humbaba with his axe. He demonstrated that he was able to summon the bravery necessary to overcome his fear and attack the frightening beast.
Which sentence should be added at the beginning of this paragraph to introduce the writer’s point?

A. Even though he had seen Humbaba before, Enkidu was just as horified by the monster's appearance as Gilgamesh was.
B. Gilgamesh demonstrated his abilities as an effective and compelling leader and speaker on several occasions.
C. Two men embarked on a long and dangerous journey to the Cedar Forest in hopes of defeating the beast Humbaba.
D. Gilgamesh proved his bravery when he engaged in battle with a strong and fierce antagonist *

Answers

Answer:

i feel like the answer is B

Explanation:

because gilgamesh probably thought just because he is leader and he has power he knows everything so enkidu (the next sentence) warns him. which fits perfectly.

My dear Rosy,

First of all, Happy New Year. I hope you are doing well and fine. I am also doing fine and managing alright.

I would like to let you know about the new resolutions that I have promised myself. And there are several, which I decided would be helpful for me to change.

First, I have decided that I would spend less time on social media and more time reading books. My screen time has resulted in health issues in me and I am determined to change that. Also, I would also register myself in some online courses, like seminars and conferences regarding poetry, literature, and writing courses.

Lastly, I have also decided to join yoga classes, volunteer at some NGOs, and help teach the village children too. This will help me use my time productively.

I realized I spend too much time doing nothing useful and so, have decided that I would now spend time doing things that help or benefit at least one person.

That's all for now. Hoping to hear back from you.

Take care and will talk to you soon.

Love,

Mandy

The incident had occurred and was gone for me: it was an incident of no moment, no romance, no interest

claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something; trivial, transitory though the deed was, it
was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive. (chapter 12)

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.

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.

HELP OK I NEES A ESSAY ON SUGAR CANE SPIDERS ITS DUE FRIDAY AND I HAVE A MAJOR PHOBIA OF THEM HELP

Answers

Answer:

Spiders are practically everywhere. They live on nearly every continent and are part of every common ecosystem imaginable. Spiders may look small and insignificant -- OK, and kinda creepy -- but they're important predators and prey for a multitude of other animals. As any horticulturalist can tell you, they're great garden allies, too.

Spiders are endemic to every continent except Antarctica. Some species are terrestrial, that is they live on the ground, while others are arboreal, meaning they live in trees. Beyond this distinction, they've also displayed a penchant for living in far-flung climates and habitats, from tropical forests to ice-cold caves. Some specialist species live in a combination of extreme conditions. Case in point, the Kauai cave spider, who lives in lava-tube habitats in Hawaii. While some spiders are social, most are solitary and interact with each other only to fight or mate.

The cane spider is known by different names in different regions, including brown huntsman, large brown spider, banana spider and giant crab spider. They're found in subtropical climates, and may have came to the U.S. as stowaways in banana shipments from Central America. They don't weave webs, instead stalking their prey, capturing and holding it with their large, powerful fangs.

Cane spiders are large, flat-bodied arachnids with two rows of eyes and long, hairy legs. Their bodies are about an inch long, with a leg span that reaches up to 5 inches wide. Cane spiders are brown, with a cream-colored band encircling the top of their backs, and black bands or spots on their legs. Male cane spiders have pale patches behind their eyes and longer legs than females, while females have larger abdomens.

Cane spiders are found in Hawaii, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, California, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Caribbean. They frequent sugar cane fields, avocado and banana groves and forests, hiding in tree holes and under bark. Cane spiders can't tolerate cold temperatures. Their flat bodies fit in tiny cracks, enabling them to find their way into homes, heated garages, outbuildings and greenhouses to keep warm.

Cane spiders breed year-round. After mating, the female spins a white egg sac surrounding approximately 200 eggs. She carries her egg sac under her body, causing her to be mostly immobile. In about three weeks, the mother tears open the egg sac and pale baby spiders emerge. The mother spider stays with the babies for several weeks after they hatch. The babies will molt several times during this period. Cane spiders live for more than 2 years.

Cane spiders are nocturnal, entering homes and hiding behind wall hangings and under furniture, coming out at night to hunt. They are found in cars, often behind sun visors, frightening humans with their large size. Cane spiders are reluctant biters, biting only if provoked. Their bites are small but painful. They do not produce enough venom to be dangerous to humans, but a headache may result. Some cultures welcome the cockroach-eating cane spiders into their homes.

The primary action or state being stated in a sentence is known as the simple predicate, commonly referred to as the verb or verb phrase. It is the portion of the sentence that describes the action or treatment of the subject. Usually, the simple predicate is a single verb or a verb phrase.

The verb "sings," for instance, is the simple predicate in the statement "She sings beautifully." What the subject "she" is doing is revealed.

Another illustration is the sentence "They have been studying all night," in which the verb phrase "have been studying" serves as the simple predicate.
