f the climax and pinnacle of science is our knowledge of the atom now, then what was known ten years ago must have been decidedly imperfect, for science has made great strides since then. What was known twenty years ago was even more imperfect, and the science of fifty years ago hardly worth knowing. Using a little imagination, we can ask what will become of the science of today, some twenty or thirty years from now? Unless the rate of scientific advance shows a notable slacking off (and there are no signs of this) our best knowledge of today will become decidedly frowsy1.
Since scientists have such overweening confidence in their own ability—in their collective ability, that is to say—it is no small wonder that they make no attempt to teach what are the limitations of science, for they hardly recognize any.
Yet there may be limits to what science can do. Consider this question: Can science disprove ghosts? In the supremely confident period, toward the end of the last century, when it was supposed that there was a conflict between Science and Religion, and Science was rapidly winning, it was the mark of an educated man to say “Science has proved that there are no such things as ghosts, they are merely the superstitions of the unenlightened.” Education is always behind the times, and much the same attitude is prevalent today; you can still hear people say, “Surely, science has proved that there are no ghosts.” And yet, is that so? Suppose, just suppose for the sake of argument, that ghosts can occasionally appear when the psychological conditions are just right, and suppose, what might quite well be true, that one necessary condition for the appearance of a ghost is the absence of a scientist: well then, “Science” (that is to say, scientists) would go on investigating ghost after ghost, and would “disprove” every one of them, and yet ghosts would continue to appear whenever the scientists were not looking.
This is a simple case, perhaps not a very important one, illustrating the impossibility of proving anything negative by the scientific method. At least it is enough to show that science is not infallible, and if science has any more serious defects than the inability to perceive an occasional spook in the corner, it is of the utmost importance that citizens, generally, should know what they are. Yet this sort of knowledge is very conspicuously absent from the populace at large and from the curriculums of institutes of learning. Non-scientists don’t even know what science can do; scientists are so obsessed with the past successes and future possibilities of their own specialty that they have no idea what the proper field of science in general is and no recognition that there are any limits. What they can’t do, some other scientists, presumably, can do, so that they come to think that science with a capital “S”—or rather its concentrated and distilled essence, the Scientific Method—is the universal cure-all for mankind.
They are wrong, for science is not a cure-all. The claims of the science fiends are preposterously exaggerated. Science has many important limitations, which will appear throughout this book in ever-increasing number. The idea that science is infallible and beyond criticism is a delusion, and even a dangerous one. The teaching of science only perpetuates this delusion, for it is always taught by scientists, who are so busy keeping up with science that they can never look at it from the outside. What with scientists who are so deep in science that they cannot see it, and non-scientists who are too overawed to express an opinion, hardly anyone is able to recognize science for what it is, the great Sacred Cow2 of our time.
John Dewey, a worshiper in the temple of science, said “the future of our civilization depends on the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind.” But perhaps there is more truth in an old wisecrack of Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Science is a good piece of furniture for a man to have in an upper chamber provided he has common sense on the ground floor.”
In the context of the passage as a whole, the first sentence of the third paragraph (“Yet . . . can do”) marks the transition between
a brief summary of a debate and a substantive analysis of that debate’s origins
A
an empirical investigation and a consideration of its theoretical implications
B
a description of a problem and an assessment of potential solutions
C
an explanation of a viewpoint and a rebuttal of that viewpoint
D
a challenge to a popular thesis and an argument in favor of that thesis
E
Answer:
Its D an explanation of a viewpoint and a rebuttal of that viewpoint 100%
Explanation:
The first sentence of the third paragraph marks a transition from the beginning of the passage, which explains the viewpoint that “hardly recognize[s] any” limitations to science, to the third paragraph, which rebuts that viewpoint. By arguing that there are indeed “limits” to what science can do, the author argues that science is not infallible, which rebuts the viewpoint stated at the beginning of the passage.

What is the grammatical function of the gerund phrase? In the 1930s, Penguin Books started publishing inexpensive paperback books and, in the process, discovered a thriving new market of voracious readers seeking cheap, well-bound books.

I found this question online, and we need to make a small correction to the instructions. This passage is supposed to be completed with the Present Perfect or the Past Simple form of the verbs, not the Present Simple.
Answer:
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins grew up in London with her mum and began singing when she was four. She graduated from the Brit School in 2006. Adele has already earned millions of pounds, but according to her friends, she has not changed. She’s still the same girl they knew before she was famous. She wrote her first two albums about two relationships that ended badly. But now she is in happy relationship-will she continue to write good songs? Adele says, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen if my music career goes wrong. I haven't had a proper job yet!’
Explanation:
The Simple Past is used to refer to actions that took place at a specific time in the past. Even if that time is not explicit in the sentence, we can still use the Simple Past if it is possible to infer it. But, usually, dates or expressions such as "yesterday", "back in..." etc. will reveal when the action happened.
The Present Perfect can refer to actions that took place in the past but at an unspecified time, or to actions that started in the past and still have a connection with the present. This tense is commonly used with words such as "yet", "already" or "never".
Completing the text with the correct present perfect tense or present simple forms are:

article about whether it is important to have music lessons at school
Answer:
Well in my honest opinion i am 50/50. Music lessons arent very impotant in life unless you want to become a musician and want to be in a band or be a singer. However, Music doesnt help you in any job unless it is actually a musically job. It doesnt help you to be a nurse, or police officer, or paramedic or anything apart from singing and bands etc. So if you wanted to grow up to be a musician then you can have music lessons. But most people dont want to. So that is why music lessons should be opiyional because most people dont like it but someone people do.

"How to Prevent Onions from Making You Cry"
Chill onions in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before peeling or chopping them. Sulfuric vapors move slower in the cold—think about how garbage smells worse during hot weather. Leave the onion root intact until the last possible moment to prevent irritants from escaping into the air. The root contains the largest concentration of sulfuric compounds in an onion. Chop or cut the onion with a sharp knife. Fast, clean slicing puts less pressure on the onion tissue and minimizes the release of sulfuric compounds. A sharp knife also allows you to expedite your slicing and reduce your exposure to the onion fumes. Open a window or light a scented candle close to your chopping station. The hot flame of a candle attracts tear-causing vapor and reduces the amount of vapor circulating in the air.

Could they not give you all things that I lack? You should have loved a god; I am but dust. Yet no god loves as loves this poor frail dust What is this poem about?
Answer:
The poem is about the speaker's declaration of undying love for a girl/ woman he loves.
Explanation:
Richard Adlington's poem "Prelude" is a short poem of two stanzas that talk about the speaker's declaration of undying love for someone or 'something'. As the poem progresses, we learn that the love declaration was for a girl he loves.
The poem begins with the speaker declaring his love for the girl, admitting "I try to think of one lovely gift No lover yet in all the world has found". His love for the girl is almost akin to one's faithful and loyal love for one's religion, almost more so too. He bestows the girl with a love more divine than any god can do, "no god loves as loves this poor frail dust." The poet/ speaker declares his desire to bestow such love, a love more divine and strong, to the girl.
