A girl named Mary Richards, who was thought remarkably pretty at the workhouse, and was not quite 10 years of age, worked at a drawing frame. Below the machine, and about a foot from the floor, was a horizontal shaft, by which the frames above were turned. It happened one evening, when her apron was caught by the shaft. In an instant the poor girl was drawn by an irresistible force and dashed on the floor. She uttered the most heart-rending shrieks! The floor manager ran towards her, an agonized and helpless beholder of a scene of horror. He saw her whirled round and round with the shaft - he heard the bones of her arms, legs, thighs, etc. successively snap asunder, crushed, seemingly, to atoms, as the machinery whirled her round, and drew tighter and tighter her body within the works, her blood was scattered over the frame and streamed upon the floor, her head appeared dashed to pieces - at last, her mangled body was jammed in so fast, between the shafts and the floor, that the water being low and the wheels off the gear, it stopped the main shaft. When she was extricated, every bone was found broken - her head dreadfully crushed. The poor girl was carried off quite lifeless. Directions: After reading the story, type your answer or use the highlight tool to mark the correct answer. Which adjective best describes the factory in which the girl works

Answers

Answer 1

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the text is exactly the same, I will omit it.

After reading the story, type your answer or use the highlight tool to mark the correct answer.

Which adjective best describes the factory in which the girl works:

a. safe

b. hazardous

c. bright

d. fun

Answer:

The adjective that best describes the factory is:

b. hazardous.

Explanation:

According to the text, this factory employed children, which is nowadays considered an absurdity in itself. But besides that, it is an extremely dangerous place. The child whose brief story is told, Mary Richards, had her apron stuck in a terribly unsafe machine - a machine that can kill her by crushing her bones. And that is precisely what happens. There is nothing safe about a factory in which it is so easy to die. Certainly, safety measures were not a concern when poor Mary suffered this accident.

Having all that in mind, we can easily choose letter B. hazardous to describe the factory. "Hazardous" is a synonym for "dangerous" or "unsafe".

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
"If you only cleared the house, you'd be quite happy, wouldn't you?" said Herbert, with his hand on his shoulder. "Well, wish for two hundred pounds, then; that'll just do it."
His father, smiling shamefacedly at his own credulity, held up the talisman, as his son, with a solemn face, somewhat marred by a wink at his mother, sat down at the piano and struck a few impressive chords.
"I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly.
A fine crash from the piano greeted the words, interrupted by a shuddering cry from the old man. His wife and son ran toward him.

What can you infer about Friar Laurence from the line in bold? (10 points)
JULIET
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.
What if it be a poison, which the friar
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
(For he hath still been tried a holy man.) *() in bold*
How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
Or, if I live, is it not very like, The horrible conceit of death and night, Together with the terror of the place
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle, Where, for these many hundred years, the bones Of all my buried ancestors are packed:
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth,
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort:- Alack, alack, is it not like that I, So early waking, what with loathsome smells, And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:-
O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears?
And madly play with my forefather's joints?
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud?
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
O, look! methiks I see my cousin's ghost
Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body
Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay!
Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

Friar Laurence is known to be a coward.

Friar Laurence is a trustworthy man.

Friar Laurence has killed people before.

Friar Laurence once served time in jail.

Answers

Answer:

Friar Laurence is a trustworthy man.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around the fateful love story of two young lovers amidst their family feud. The play deals with themes of love, loyalty, society, class, hatred, etc.

In the given lines from Act IV scene iii of the play, Juliet is alone in her room right before the day she's to marry Paris. She contemplates what to do and then decided to drink the sleeping potion that Friar Laurence had given her. This will help present the chance to give Romeo enough time to get to Juliet's tomb and steal her, and then they can run away.

And in Juliet's act of taking the potion, even though she suspects "the friar Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead" and given her poison instead, she has trust in the man. Moreover, the lines "For he hath still been tried a holy man" suggests the holy man be a trustworthy man.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Friar Laurence is a trustworthy man.

8. What do Armstrong and Lombard decide about the 2 deaths?

Answers

Answer:

Armstrong and Lombard decide that the two murders were committed by Mr. Owen and determine to search for him.

Explanation:

'And Then There Were None' is a mystery novel written by Agatha Christie. The novel is a story of 10 people who have been murdered on an island.

In chapter 7, after Mrs. Rogers was found dead, Armstrong and Lombard consult with each other trying to find who committed the two murders. After inspection, they suspected that these murders can not be a mere coincidence. They find that the two Indian figures have disappeared from the board and the two deaths correspond to the first two verses of rhyming.

Armstrong and Lombard, therefore, decides that the two murders were committed by Mr. Owen, the host, and decides to search for him.

Write three points about why driverless cars are a bad idea.

Answers

one obstacle is driverless cars can mistake harmless puddles of water as pot holes and slow down for no reason.

there's also going to be skeptical people. considering that driverless tech has the greatest chance of reducing accidents when it’s on the road with other driverless tech, perhaps the biggest obstacle to the goal of accident prevention will be the stubborn relative or neighbor who “just doesn’t trust those things.”

also, there might be someone not paying attention in their driverless car, and the technology might not be all there. what i mean by this is they detect  little animals and swerve really fast and hit another car. even though people are working on this to try and stop car accidents from happening, it could lead the the exact opposite.

4. I wasn't using my phone.

5. My friends were discussing what to do after class.

Explanation:

The Past Continuous tense has the following structure:

subject + past form of "be" + main verb with -ing

The past form of the verb "be" is either "was" (I, he, she, and it) or "were" (you, we, and they).

The Past Continuous is used to talk about actions that happened for a period of time in the past, that is, actions that started and lasted for a while. The examples below help illustrate that:

- I was cooking pasta when my mother arrived.

- Nina wasn't answering her phone, so I called her sister.

What is information?

Information is defined as  an abstract concept that refers to that which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level information  which pertains to the interpretation of that which may be sensed. Any natural process that is not completely random, and any observable pattern in any medium can be said to convey some amount of information.

Whereas digital signals and other data use discrete signs to convey information, other phenomena and artifacts such as analog signals, poems, pictures, music or other sounds, and currents convey information in a form which is  more continuous . Information is not knowledge itself, but the meaning that may be derived from a representation through interpretation.

Information is often processed iteratively: Data available at one step are processed into information to be interpreted and processed at the next step.
