Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.

The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.

In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.

According to this excerpt, what was an underlying cause of increased steam elevator production?

construction of tall buildings
the need to move supplies in mills
an elevator in a store on Broadway
commercial advantages

Which text in this sentence functions as an adverb clause

Answers

Answer:

...if the route was too steep and dangerous

Explanation:

The above text in the sentence functions as an adverb clause. This is true because an adverb clause is known to be a group of words that actually performs the work of an adverb. But the group of words must contain a subject and a verb in order to be a true clause.

Adverb clauses actually add information which helps to describe verbs, adjectives and even adverbs. These clauses show the when, where, how, why, how much or the condition at which the action took place.  

The above text actually gives more information about the 'route' and its condition that will make Tina make her decision. So, it is the correct text.

Oliver has been assigned to write an argument about safe food-handling practices for his life skills class. He wants to learn whether it’s safer to cook chicken straight out of the package or to rinse it first.

Which of the following resources should he use? Why?

A.
a post from a well-known food blogger; a lot of people trust her opinions about recipes and shortcuts in the kitchen
B.
a scientific study published in a consumer magazine; chicken was prepared in both ways and then tested for strains of bacteria
C.
a brief interview with his grandmother; she's the best cook Oliver knows, and nobody has ever gotten sick from her chicken parmesan
D.
the “Health and Safety” chapter from a cookbook published in 1982; popular recipes may come and go, but food safety standards never change

Answers

Answer:

The resource Oliver should use is:

B.  a scientific study published in a consumer magazine; chicken was prepared in both ways and then tested for strains of bacteria.

Explanation:

Why?

Oliver wants to know what is safer. Therefore, he should focus on resources that have criteria and proper means for testing safety when it comes to food. Option B concerns a scientific study that is bound to follow rules and procedures. That is the best option.

In option A, the blogger may be a very good cook, but that does not necessarily mean she knows and does everything in the safest possible way. In option C we have a similar situation. Nobody has ever gotten sick from grandma's chicken, but that may be a matter of luck or coincidence. Option D says food safety standards never change, which is not true. A long time ago, for instance, people did not understand the importance of washing vegetables as we do today. All these options can be eliminated.

Answer:

B =  a scientific study published in a consumer magazine; chicken was prepared in both ways and then tested for strains of bacteria.

Practice making connections between the text and real life.

There are two ways you can do this:

Make a connection between the text and your own life. An example might be, "This character is brave but often doesn't think things through before making a decision. I tend to act the same way when I'm stressed or overwhelmed."
Make a connection between the text and the world you know. We all have ideas about how the world works that go far beyond our own personal experiences. We learn about things through TV, movies, the news, and our own observations. An example would be when a reader says, "I saw a TV show where the main character had a similar conflict," or "I remember watching a movie set in Greece."

Is George Orwell right about people and the way they handle power? In your own words,
explain what Animal Farm suggests about the effect that power has on people. Then, describe
an example from your own life that either supports or contradicts what George Orwell seems to
think about power.

Answers

Answer:

Power and control is one of the most important themes in Animal Farm. Orwell explores political power - Mr Jones owns the farm and the animals and uses his men and whips to keep them under control and maintain his power.

Orwell shows that the animals have the power to challenge Mr Jones' control and take over the farm - using power in a positive way. He then explores how the pigs use rhetoric and propaganda to establish themselves in power and take control of the farm. It is interesting that the working animals, especially Boxer the horse, have great physical power but they don’t use it to break free from the control of the pigs.

Old Major is partly based on Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. Karl Marx, was a German philosopher who lived during the 19th-century. His ideas formed the basis of communism - his ideas are collectively known as ‘Marxism’, like ‘Animalism’ in the novel. He developed theories on how power structures in society keep people under control. Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who established a form of ‘Marxism’ in Russia in the early 20th-century.

Orwell explores the idea of power leading to corruption. Many of the characters in the novel are eventually corrupted by the power they have, particularly the pigs, as they manipulate their position of leadership to exploit other animals.Old Major teaches the animals a song called Beasts of England in response to Mr Jones treating them badly. The song is about animals overthrowing man and being free. Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack. The animals sing about the devices Mr Jones uses to keep his power. The 'bit and spur' and 'whips' are used to cruelly keep the animals under control.

The rebellion The animals fight back against the men and take control of the farm. ...this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were used to thrashing and maltreating just as they chose, frightened them almost out of their wits. The animals surprise the men with their 'sudden' change in behaviour - it frightens the men to see the animals using their power.

The pigs taking control The pigs take charge and begin to control the other animals. Napoleon uses Squealer and the dogs to stop the animals' questions about the windmill. Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions. Between Squealer being so 'persuasive' and the dogs so 'threatening' the pigs control the animals by preventing them questioning their decisions.

Answers

clap it out! say the word out loud and clap for each syllable! it seems like a silly trick but believe it or not it works

Answer:

A way to divide syllables is easy!

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the part of the word your mouth slows down the most, or the parts you have to pronunciate the most (Tak..ing)

Step 2: Those slow down parts are syllables. (Re...mem...ber...ance)

Step 3: As you find those words make sure you don't over-say them. For example: Wheel. You don't say Wheel with more than one syllable because it sounds weird and is not grammatically correct.

Step 4: The way I learned was to clap at each syllable I found (Good...ness)

Step 5: Enjoy the wonderful world of syllables
