Read the passage then answer the question below:
The Ornithopter
Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.
In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.
Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.
Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.
Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.
As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.
But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.
He concluded that a human being's arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands.

A student is writing the introduction to an opinion piece about school subjects drag into the box what the sentence should be include in the introduction to MOST CLEARLY state her opinion.
Answer and Explanation:
Hello. You didn't show the answer options, nor did you say what the students think about school subjects, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question efficiently. However, I will help you as much as I can, showing you how to recognize a sentence that should be placed in the introduction of an opinion article. I hope it helps.
The introduction of an article is the moment when the author must present his theme and make it very clear what he will talk about during the article. Literally, the main subject of the article is introduced in this section. In this case, the student should put in the introduction exactly his opinion about school subjects, showing the position he will defend in the rest of the article.
Example: Schools have failed to provide disciplines that are really important for the academic development of all students, who have spent time on irrelevant and worthless subjects.
A playwright such as Shakespeare has to rely primarily on _______ for character development

from Aladdin and the Magic Lamp By Antoine Galland
Aladdin fell in love with the princess at first sight. He went home so changed that his mother was frightened. He told her he loved the Princess so deeply he could not live without her, and meant to ask her in marriage of her father. His mother, on hearing this, burst out laughing, but Aladdin at last prevailed upon her to go before the Sultan and carry his request. She fetched a napkin and laid in it the magic fruits from the enchanted garden, which sparkled and shone like the most beautiful jewels. She took these with her to please the Sultan, and set out, trusting in the lamp. The Grand Vizier and the lords of council had just gone in as she entered the hall and placed herself in front of the Sultan. He, however, took no notice of her. She went every day for a week, and stood in the same place. When the council broke up on the sixth day the Sultan said to his Vizier: "I see a certain woman in the audience-chamber every day carrying something in a napkin. Call her next time, that I may find out what she wants." Next day, at a sign from the vizier, she went up to the foot of the throne and remained kneeling until the Sultan said to her: "Rise, good woman, and tell me what you want." She hesitated, so the Sultan sent away all but the Vizier, and bade her speak freely, promising to forgive her beforehand for anything she might say. She then told him of her son's violent love for the Princess. "I prayed him to forget her," she said, "but in vain; he threatened to do some desperate deed if I refused to go and ask your Majesty for the hand of the Princess. Now I pray you to forgive not me alone, but my son Aladdin." The Sultan asked her kindly what she had in the napkin, whereupon she unfolded the jewels and presented them. He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizier, said: "What sayest thou? Ought I not to bestow the Princess on one who values her at such a price?" The Vizier, who wanted her for his own son, begged the Sultan to withhold her for three months, in the course of which he hoped his son could contrive to make him a richer present.
Answer:
1.
A. Selfish
2.
A. Presents Aladdin's devotion to the princess
what ironic situation does Shapiro describe in paragraph 3?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the remaining part of the question containing paragraph 3 (The Lessons of Salem by Laura Shapiro).
"He was right: even now the Salem witch trials haunt the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of Americans, tourists, and history buffs alike, who visit Salem for a glimpse of our Puritan past at its most chilling. This year "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary, including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century. With the participation of such organizations as Amnesty International, the Tercentenary has placed a special emphasis on human rights and the role of the individual conscience in times of terror. In 1692, those who “confessed” to witchcraft were spared; only those who insisted on their innocence were hanged. Earlier this month a memorial to the victims was unveiled and on that occasion, the first annual Salem Award, created to honor a significant contribution to social justice, was presented to Gregory Allen Williams of Inglewood, Calif. In the midst of the Los Angeles riots last spring, Williams, who is black, risked his life to save an Asian-American attacked by a mob.
Explanation:
Remember, the term ironic situation is used when a situation where an action brings about an unexpected effect no one imagined would occur. In other words, the resulting outcome is different from what was expected.
For example, Shapiro stated, "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary [three hundredth anniversisary], including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century."
This is an ironic situuation because we learned from the previous paragraphs that those accused of been witches or devils were killed in other to stop the spread of such actions or kind of thinking. However, the very actions that were once condemned have become the subject of attention, with dramatizations of the trials, etc.

Explanation:
Carlson stated, "Prison and war take the same survival skills," in other words, his experiences as a war veteran affected his view of the correctional facility, one that needed actions he termed as "survival skills".
Referring to the change in perception resulting from his time at war, he further stated, "...I came up with all sorts of philosophies in my mind the same way I had in Iraq. We were always hypervigilant..., but in my mind, I was in combat with the jail." He's suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) made him a difficult inmate because he still felt he was at war and he got little professional medical therapy.
Essay on 'Lesser number of female in politics'
PLZ HEP!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
The are an abundance of reasons as to why there aren't very many female politicians. One reason as to why is that there are still a fair amount of discrimination against not only women, but anyone who isn't white, male, and rich. That is a fact, especially with our current president. Not so long ago, women were to stay at home to cook, clean, and care for their children, while the husband worked.
Another reason to this is women are just plain and simply looked down on. This makes women lose confidence, knowing that they might not even be listened to or be taken seriously. Women are thought of as "sensitive and too emotional", and so emotions should not be in the workforce, which is absurd.
Most women that enter into politics are also more likely to not be accepted because most people today still actually believe that men should make the decisions for our country, because men simply no best.
There are many things that can disprove everything mentioned above. We have had many women that changed lives and impacted our society. There are far too many incidents where the woman shaped history, and example being Rosa Parks. Woman are just as capable of doing anything else a man does, we all breathe, long and want, which makes us the same.

Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero summons Caliban.
PROSPERO . . . Come on;
We'll visit Caliban my sIave, who never
YieIds us kind answer.
MIRANDA
'Tis a viIIain, sir,
I do not love to look on.
PROSPERO
But, as 'tis,
We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,
Fetch in our wood and serves in offices
That profit us. What, h0! sIave! CaIiban!
Thou earth, thou! speak.
CALIBAN
[Within] There's wood enough within.
PROSPERO
Come forth, I say! there's other business for thee:
Come, thou tortoise! when?
(. . .)
Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself
Upon thy wicked danm, come forth!
From the passage, identify words and phrases that refer to Caliban. Then, analyze how the choice of words shapes readers' first impression of Caliban and shows Prospero and Miranda's attitude toward him. Be sure to use details from the passage to support your analysis.
Answer:
Themes of Colonialism present in this passage:
Fatherhood
Caliban sees Prospero as a fatherly figure, if you come to think of it, Fathers colonize children in as much as they have power over them, over what they eat, what they learn, where they live and so forth.
"When thou cames first, thou strokeds me and madest much of me, wouldst give me water with berries in't, and teach me how to name the bigger light (....) and then I love thee" In this phrase we can see that Caliban was first treated with love by Prospero because he fed him (with water with berries, like a special treat) and taught him how to name the sun (the bigger light).
Territory
When Caliban grows up, he realizes that Prospero was not like a father, he becomes aware of the fact that Prospero is the colonizer that took what belong to Caliban (His island).
"The island's mine, by Sycorax my mother, which thou takest from me"
What Caliban means here is that the Island has always been his by right, because it belong to his mother, and he accuses Prospero of taking it from him. This is what happens with Colonizers, they take a land (and the people that live in it) although they have no right over it, but from their position of power they dominate the Colonized.
Slavery
Prospero is mad because he believes that Caliban is his slave and that he is not capable of doing good things, because he is less than a human being. "Abhorred slave, Which any print of goodness wilt not take, Being capable of all ill"
Language
Prosperos is also angry because he claims that it was hard work for him to teach Caliban to speak "Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour one thing or other..."
This is interesting because colonized populations have a language of their own, so there is nothing generous about Colonizers teaching the colonized to speak. In fact, language is a tool that is used by Colonizers to control the Colonized.
Through language people can be controlled and their identity is also distorted when they use a language that is not their own. Caliban recognizes that Prospero knows how to name things (as we stated at the beginning) but notice how he calls Caliban in different parts of this extract you included: "Abhorred slave" , "Savage" , "a thing most brutish" "Thou vile race" In this way, we see that Caliban wants to get rid of the identity Prospero ascribed to him, but at the same time he can't fight against the power of the Colonizer (that is, Prospero)
Caliban's answer to this insults is: "You taught me language; and my profit on't is that I know how to curse. The red plague rid you for learning me language!" This means (literally) for the only thing that your language is helpful to me is to insult you (the red plague rid you! is an insult) But from the point of view of literary criticism, we see that Caliban is using the language that was originally used to control him, to fight against the control of Prospero. So, the same weapon that the Colonizer used to exert power over the Colonized, the latter uses it to fight against his control.

3 Colm, with dilated eyes, eagerly watched it making for the farther end of the lake. It meandered between tall bulrushes, its body black
and solid as stone against the graying water. Then as if it had sunk it was gone. The boy ran stealthily along the bank looking away from the
lake, pretending indifference. When he came opposite to where he had last seen the bird he stopped and peered through the sighing reeds
whose shadows streaked the water in a maze of black strokes. In front of him was a soddy islet guarded by the spears of sedge and
separated from the bank by a narrow channel of water. The water wasn't too deep-he could wade across with care.
How do the setting details in paragraph 3 help convey the theme of the story?
The spears of sedge around the islet imply that something must be protected.
The shadows of the reeds and the graying water make nature seem dark and dangerous.
The shallow water and isolation of the soddy islet implies that nature and animals should not be disturbed.
That a human could wade across the water shows the dominance of people over nature.

The paragraph 3 of the story contrbutes to the theme of the story of preserving nature by enumerating how islet is protected by spears off sedge, so it is our responsibility to protect the nature.

What's the theme in the short story the interlopers?
Answer:
One theme of "The Interlopers" is the dominance of nature over man. Although the von Gradwitz and Znaeym families have been feuding for generations over a narrow strip of forest, nature triumphs over both. Thus, the two men are the true interlopers in a domain that cannot actually be controlled by any man.
Explanation:
Write a brief paragraph using the terms evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection to explain the water cycle. Write your paragraph on paper or type it using a word processing program.
Answer:
Hey there,
Water can evaporate from oceans, lakes ponds, streams, and puddles. This means that the water can pretty much float into the air, like it has a magnetic attraction to the clouds. These water droplets wrap themselves around dust and other irritants in the atmosphere. This is called condensation. Once clouds are formed, they keep collecting water until they are full. When clouds are full, they release water through precipitation. This means the water either falls in droplets again like rain or dew, or it freezes and falls as snow, sleet or hail. Fianally, collection is the process is where water collects to form puddles, or falls into streams, rivers, lakes or oceans.
