Which statement is the best summary of "The Machine Stops"?

A son's desire to explore has inspired his mother to seek new

adventures beyond the security of her room.

B. A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an

overdependence on technology suppresses creative

thought.

С. An exchange between a mother and son reveals the new

and creative ways that technology is being used to

enhance daily routines.

D. Face-to-face communication is criticized as outdated,

because it is much more convenient to use machines to

interact with family members.

Answer:

B. A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an overdependence on technology suppresses creative thought.

Explanation:

The book "The Machine Stops" is about a future where machines are in charge of every facet of human life.

Two characters in the book Vashti and her son Kuno who are inhabitants of this new world. Kuno somehow manages to get to the surface outside of the influence of the machines and he tells his mother how the surface is and how the machines can't rule them forever.

As the novel goes on, there are different instances of where over-reliance on the machines limits creative thought because the machine does everything for them. There was a case study of a man that did not know how to pick a book that had fallen from his hands because there was no nearby machine to do it for him.

Because the words do not make sense But I read it again But I read it again Because the words do not make sense And I can’t hold it in Because kind words bring happiness Because kind words bring happiness And I can’t hold it in

Answers

Answer:

Because kind words bring happiness

Explanation:

A logical order, within a text, refers to the ability of words to show that one situation is so linked to another, that when one happens, the other, logically, happens as a result. This can be seen in the question above, through the line "Because kind words bring happiness." That's because kindness and happiness are very connected, so if someone uses kindness when speaking, logically, it causes happiness in those who heard and in those who spoke.

Answer:

D, Because kind words bring happiness       And I can’t hold it in

Answer:

this got me a 100%

Explanation:

By the late 1970s the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's examinations indicated that Penn Square Bank was overextended. When oil prices dropped in 1981, the situation quickly turned desperate. Depositors withdrew $50 million in May 1982, and by July examiners knew the bank could not survive. They spent the Fourth of July weekend setting up the closure of Penn Square and forming a new bank so that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) could pay the $207 million that was due to insured depositors. Uninsured deposits of $163 million were not paid.

The oil loan shares caused problems for numerous other banks and precipitated a crisis in the entire banking system.

What is the effect of the story's point of view? a first-person narrator like Mrs. Mallard can demonstrate how her opinion changes with her observations. a first-person narrator allows the reader to experience the emotions and feelings Mrs. Mallard is feeling. a third-person omniscient narrator can guide readers through Mrs. Mallard's changing emotions by describing her transition. a third-person limited narrator allows readers to observe only the outward physical response of Mrs. Mallard as she reacts to the events of the story.

Answers

Answer:

A third-person omniscient narrator can guide readers through Mrs. Mallard's changing emotions by describing her transition.

Explanation:

A third-person omniscient narrator/ narrative voice is the point of view from an uninvolved character narrating the sequence of the story. This point of view allows the narrator to present the characters and their feelings without being a part of the story.

In Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour", the third person omniscient narrator gives us access to the feelings and emotions of Mrs. Mallard. At the same time, we are also guided through her changing emotions and transitions.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Write an essay explaining your feelings on the gender pay gap.

Answers

My feelings on the gender pay gap are surprising and it is unequal. I feel like women and men should be payed the Same amount of money especially if they're in the Same field of working. Both genders work just as hard in their job as everyone else and being payed equally means the same amount of success, everyone deserves to be happy so why not be payed equally? why not have the same pay as everyone else? it shouldn't matter about the gender to be honest, it should depend on the career you choose and how much work you put into it. Imagine being a woman working day and night as a certified doctor and you get less pay as a man working day and night as a certified doctor and they both work just as hard,they both work the same shifts and work just as hard as each other and you realise your getting payed lower just because of your gender. Keep that in mind. Those are my feelings on the gender pay gap.

Read the excerpt from "The New Marvel in Photography" by H. J. W. Dam.

In all the history of scientific discovery there has never been, perhaps, so general, rapid, and dramatic an effect wrought on the scientific centres of Europe as has followed, in the past four weeks, upon an announcement made to the Würzburg Physico-Medical Society, at their December meeting, by Professor William Konrad Röntgen, professor of physics at the Royal University of Würzburg. The first news which reached London was by telegraph from Vienna to the effect that a Professor Röntgen, until then the possessor of only a local fame in the town mentioned, had discovered a new kind of light, which penetrated and photographed through everything. This news was received with a mild interest, some amusement, and much incredulity; and a week passed. Then, by mail and telegraph, came daily clear indications of the stir which the discovery was making in all the great line of universities between Vienna and Berlin. Then Röntgen's own report arrived, so cool, so business-like, and so truly scientific in character, that it left no doubt either of the truth or of the great importance of the preceding reports. . . .

Exactly what kind of a force Professor Röntgen has discovered he does not know. As will be seen below, he declines to call it a new kind of light, or a new form of electricity. He has given it the name of the X rays.

Explanation:

The Author creates a tone of regret in the poem "On Turning Ten." Which Line best demonstrates the tone of regret. Select all that apply.
1) "Disfiguring chicken pox of the soul" ***
2) "The perfect simplicity of being one"
3) "But now I am mostly at the window"
4) "You tell me it is too early to be looking back" ***
I am very sure about four being correct, although I am unsure about my other answer.
The poem if needed:

On Turning Ten (Billy Collins).

The whole Idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache.
Or the headaches I get from reading in bad light-
a kind of measles to the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a solider, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly

I'm going to cut the poem off there.
-Thank you for the help.

Besides four, I think that three, “But now I am mostly at the window”, would apply. One seems to apply too.

Answer:

Stargirl is the most "manic pixie dream girl" who ever pixie-dreamgirl-ed. She's practically the prototype. She's the Alpha and Omega of the cliche, coined by critic Nathan Rabin in his review of 2005's "Elizabethtown." Stargirl dresses eccentrically, she carries around a ukulele, and her pet rat lives in her knapsack. She drifts above the rituals and pressures of high school, communing on a higher and much wiser plane. She exists in order to change the lives of others for the better. As seen through the eyes of Leo, a shy kid who only wants to fit in, she is nothing less than a Magical Creature. He believes she can actually make it rain. And maybe she can. There's something uncanny about Stargirl.

Its full of mischief, goofing around and candy galore. But this year, the annual October 31 festivities will probably look quite a bit different thanks to corona. Social distancing precautions will force many to alter their Halloween traditions in 2020. But that doesnt mean they wont find new ways to keep it spooky. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a list of classic Halloween activities ranked by risk levels. The agency says classic, door-to-door trick-or-treating is a high-risk activity during the pandemic. As an alternative, the agency suggests hosting a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search around the house. If you do still plan to go venture out to collect candy, The Washington Post recommends taking precautions. Its recommendations include: using hand sanitizer frequently, avoiding gathering in groups and not eating candy while trick-or-treating. Also, make sure your costume includes a cloth mask. Your average costume mask might not offer the same protection against the corona virus, the CDC warns. Haunted attractions have been forced to adapt to the scary realities of 2020, as well. Salt Lake Citys Fear Factory haunted house is usually an up-close-and-personal experience. It features terrifying actors who swoop in close for a scare. This year, it will offer socially distanced frights. The scare has been completely redesigned, says Fear Factory COO Rob Dun field. We used to have animations draw customers attention so actors could pop out and startle them up close. Now, thats reversed. The costumed actors draw attention from farther away, then trigger an animation, loud noise, or air blast to go off right next to a person. In addition, drive-through haunted houses are popping up in cities around the world, including San Diego, Orlando, Houston and Tokyo. Every year has its costume trends, and 2020 will be no different. Undoubtedly, there will be many corona-themed costumes. But costume companies like Party City have also seen a jump in nurse, doctor and firefighter costumes. I think people are turning to the people who helped during the pandemic every day, says Julie Roehm, Party Citys chief marketing and experience officer. If you want a more low key and spook-free Halloween, you still have plenty of options. Sam Dominguez, a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, says that small groups of friends can gather outside to carve pumpkins or watch Halloween movies. But they should still wear masks and stay socially distanced. Thankfully, Halloween revelers will be able to depend on candy. This year, candy companies are preparing to sell more treats online. They are also focusing on candy that can be eaten at home, rather than passed out to trick-or-tr eaters. Already, supermarket analysts say the sale of chocolate and candy is up 13 percent from 2019. Everyones been cooped up in the house, so people are looking for something to celebrate, says Katie Thomas, a consumer trends analyst at the Barney Consumer Institute.
