STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman
1911
THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
How does the author develop the idea that relying on nature was problematic? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.
Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "in the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark".
To express the problems further, the author also says that they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.

Based on this passage, what two plots are likely to develop in parallel?
Answer:
Victoriano will invite Clarence to his home to speak with his father, Señor Alamar.Clarence will run into one of the Alamar daughters and fall in love."Explanation:
The story already goes in the direction of Clarence being brought to the home of Senor Alamar by Victoriano so that Clarence can speak to him so one plot will be that Victoriano will invite Clarence in to speak with his father.
Based on the way they kept mentioning the ladies and the fact that one daughter, Mercedes, is home, there is a strong chance that Clarence will run into a daughter - probably Mercedes - and fall in love with her because romance is a very popular plot idea.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun, And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. What is the speaker of this poem doing
Answer:
b). inspecting a stone wall.
Explanation:
The lines are from Robert Frost's poem titled 'Mending Wall.' In the given lines, the speaker is examining the stone wall that has separated the two neighbors. He says that 'something...doesn't love a wall' in order to refer to nature's dislike of this wall as it leads to 'frozen ground' among two neighbors and 'make gaps...swell...burst.' Later he talks about the damage caused to the wall by the hunter's work but he would fix it again but thinks that rabbits may come 'out of hiding.' Thus, this shows that he is examining the wall. Hence, option b is the correct answer.

Who is an author?An author is one who is the source of some form of intellectual or creative work; especially, one who composes a book, article, poem, play, or other literary work intended for publication.
Usually a distinction is made between an author and others (such as a compiler, an editor, or a translator) who assemble, organize, or manipulate literary materials.
Sometimes, however, the title of author is given to one who compiles material (as for publication) in such a way that the finished compilation can be regarded as a relatively original work.
The author mentions the fire train to encourage the rebuilding of the tunnel to better deal with emergencies. Therefore, option (D) is correct.

Create an outline for an argumentative research essay, which you will draft in Lesson 2. The outline will begin with a strong claim, followed by at least three supporting reasons. The evidence that backs up each reason must come from credible sources that you find through research. In its finished state, your outline should show how the claim, reasons, and evidence all relate.
Your outline should include the following elements:
A claim that takes a clear stand on an important, controversial issue
At least three reasons that support the claim
Evidence from at least five sources that backs up your reasons (and the claim, indirectly)
A works-cited page that lists your sources and follows MLA guidelines
Hi. Your question asks you to outline an argumentative research essay. I can't write an essay for you as this is something very personal and it should be in line with what you have been studying, but I can show you how to do this essay.
First, you should know that an argumentative essay is a text where you will need to argue about something, that is, show your opinion on the subject that is being covered in the essay. This opinion must be accompanied by supporting statements, which are statements that present data to prove that your opinion is correct and show the reader how you arrived at this opinion. This means that you will have to research the topic discussed in your essay and that research should be done from reputable research sources, which will be articles written by experts in the subject you cover, academic books and journals, or websites of respected institutions. These sites usually have the abbreviations "org," "edu" and "gov" in their email addresses.
As your question shows, it is important that you submit at least three supporting details, ie details that support your opinion and these details must come from five credible research sources.
Now, regarding the outline, you should keep in mind that an outline is the "prototype" of your essay. This is where you will place the ideas you will present in the essay, present the organization of the paragraphs, and flag the research sources you will use. This outline should be done in topics, as follows:
Introduction: Where will you present the subject of your essay and your opinion. The introduction should be short and direct.Body: You will present the background Information of your theme, you will present the support details that prove your opinion, always presenting the relevant data and information taken from your research sources. This part is usually made up of two paragraphs, but you can do more if you feel it is necessary. You can also present opinions that are contrary to yours, as long as you present evidence that these opinions are incorrect.Conclusion: You will end the essay in a logical way, presenting with the thought that should be created after reading the facts presented by you.Lastly, you should create a page where you present the research sources you used, using the MLA guidelines. This should be done on a separate essay page, where you will provide all the information necessary for your essay's readers to be able to find your research sources. This information must be presented in the following order:
Author's last name, followed by a comma. Author's first name, followed by a period. Title of the article, followed by a period. Title of the place where this article can be found, that is, title of the book, website or magazine where the article is found, followed by period. Book or magazine version, if any, followed by period. Publisher's name, followed by period. Year of publication of the article, followed by period. Number of the page where the article can be found or link to the website where the article can be found. Website access date, if the article is found on a website.Examples:

All staff members are reminded that you should not use the executive restroom………you have written authorization to do so.
Answer:
unless
Explanation:
In English language, a conjunction can be defined as an English word that is typically used for connecting two or more clauses, words, phrases or sentences. Some examples of conjunction are but, and, although, because, or, yet, unless, so, however, nor, etc.
Unless is synonymous with "except if" or "if not" and as such it's a conditional statement. Thus, it's used to express an action that will or will not happen if something else isn't going to happen or not true (false).
In this scenario, staff members are instructed not to use the executive restroom, if they've not obtained a written authorization.
Hence, the complete sentence would be written as follows;
"All staff members are reminded that you should not use the executive restroom unless you have written authorization to do so."

C. Neither light nor moisture, is good for food preservation so most food products are packaged immediately after they are processed.
D. Neither light nor moisture is good for food preservation, so most food products are packaged immediately after they are processed.
Answer:
D. Neither light nor moisture is good for food preservation, so most food products are packaged immediately after they are processed.
Explanation:
A comma shows a break or pause in a sentence. A comma is used to separate independent clauses therefore it can be said that the first and second half of the sentence in question can be said as two different sentences.
A comma brings together two phrases or clauses. It is a useful punctuation mark which is used to indicate to readers a certain separation of words, phrases, clauses or ideas in order to prevent misreading or misunderstanding what the writer intended to say. It is important to know where exactly in a sentence to insert a comma so you can convey the meaning of your sentence perfectly.

is glabal warming a problem in our country
Answer: Get answer In Explanation
Explanation: The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.
The problems seem especially obvious in cases where current societal trends appear to be on a “collision course” with predictions of global warming’s impacts:
at the same time that sea levels are rising, human population continues to grow most rapidly in flood-vulnerable, low-lying coastal zones;
places where famine and food insecurity are greatest in today’s world are not places where milder winters will boost crop or vegetation productivity, but instead, are places where rainfall will probably become less reliable, and crop productivity is expected to fall;
the countries most vulnerable to global warming’s most serious side effects are among the poorest and least able to pay for the medical and social services and technological solutions that will be needed to adapt to climate change.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, “Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”
(For specific information on the projected impacts of climate change in the United States, see the National Assessment Report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.)

Answer:
Concern about climate change is much less pervasive in the United States, China and Russia than among other leading nations. Just 44% in the U.S. and Russia, and even fewer in China (30%), consider global warming to be a very serious problem. By comparison, 68% in France, 65% in Japan, 61% in Spain and 60% in Germany say that is the case.
Americans’ views of global warming divide along ideological lines — liberals are more than twice as likely as conservatives to say global warming is a very serious problem (66% vs. 30%). Surveys from 2008 and 2009 suggest that an ideological divide is also evident in Britain, where 66% of those on the political left rate global warming as very serious, compared with 42% of those on the right. A smaller ideological split exists in Germany, France and Spain.
While there is agreement around the world that climate change is a serious problem, there is much less international consensus as to which country is most trusted to do the right thing on this issue. However, expectations for President Barack Obama’s approach to climate change are high. Majorities or pluralities in 21 of the 25 countries surveyed believe Obama will “get the U.S. to take significant measures to control global climate change.” Expectations are especially high in Western Europe.

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.

Answer:
National stereotype in today's era is too crucial to be ignored. In Britain for example, Americans are prejudiced to the extent that even their 'modern way of living' has been misapprehended. It is believed in Britain that Americans are loud, and that they only eat from fast food shops and wear colorful outfits only, which may not be entirely true. The fact that you see something somewhere, just like the British see that kind of 'lifestyle' of Americans in the movies doesn't mean that it is the same thing in reality, i.e, their lifestyle. When you prejudice, you lose your opportunity of truly knowing who the people really are, and you miss your chance of learning new things.
