Answer:
The author develops the central idea in paragraph 1 through 4 stating the fact that companies are deliberately creating gadgets that have less life, so that consumers buy new products.
Explanation:
Excerpt from Gadgets: Built To Not Last is an article written by Mike Elgan. The article talks about the durability of electronic gadgets these days. The author asserts that the companies these days deliberately make gadgets that does not last long. The reason for doing so is that consumer will buy new products once the old becomes obsolete.
The author cites an example of his experience in paragraph 2, how bulb in his lasted only 1-year whereas the bulb in near fire station is working since 1901.
The author asserts that by creating less durable gadgets the company earns money. Because obsolete gadgets will mean buying of new products whereas long durable products will lessen such chances.

In the article, Chicago is described as being “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” with other cities moving quickly to catch up.
How do the following sentences conflict with this point of view?
“Those 500 green roofs represent a little less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Chicago’s…buildings. By comparison, experts in Germany said that in 2010, 15-20 percent of the flat roofs in that country were green.”
How do these sentences compare to the overall tone of the articles? How does it impact the mood?
this from the article Rooftop views are growing greener as crops sprout up high
Hi. Unfortunately I was unable to access the article this question refers to. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
We can see that the view that Chicago is “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” is refuted, with the phrase showing that Germany has a much larger amount of green roofs than Chicago. This shows that Chicago does not deserve the title of "forefront" in the use of these roofs, as there are places, such as Germany, that have taken the lead in this attitude.
Unfortunately, without reading the article it is not possible to know how it affects the general tone and mood of the article. However, considering that this is an informative article, we can consider that this rebuttal, presents the feeling that green roofs are something that is being established very slowly in America, even though this is a very beneficial attitude for society. Furthermore, this rebuttal may present a delayed mood, as it shows that America is late in implementing this technology. This can be seen because the tone and mood of a text establish the sensation and feeling that the author of the article wants to promote through reading.
Writing - A story about a bad decision
Help me! 50 word
Answer:
Hope this is what you need
Read this excerpt from "The Past" by Ellen Glasgow.
When I gave my name and explained that I was the new secretary, I was delivered into the charge of an elderly lady's maid, who looked as if she had been crying. Without speaking a word, though she nodded kindly enough, she led me down the hall, and then up a flight of stairs at the back of the house to a pleasant bedroom in the third story. There was a great deal of sunshine, and the walls, which were painted a soft yellow, made the room very cheerful. It would be a comfortable place to sit in when I was not working, I thought, while the sad-faced maid stood watching me remove my wraps and hat.
"If you are not tired, Mrs. Vanderbridge would like to dictate a few letters," she said presently, and they were the first words she had spoken.
"I am not a bit tired. Will you take me to her?" One of the reasons, I knew, which had decided Mrs. Vanderbridge to engage me was the remarkable similarity of our handwriting. We were both Southerners, and though she was now famous on two continents for her beauty, I couldn't forget that she had got her early education at the little academy for young ladies in Fredericksburg. This was a bond of sympathy in my thoughts at least, and, heaven knows, I needed to remember it while I followed the maid down the narrow stairs and along the wide hall to the front of the house.

What are Marlow's first impressions of the African coast before he reaches the first station? What does he think about the French war vessel firing into the jungle?
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To answer this question, you will need to read the text to which it is related. In this text, you will be able to perceive Marlow's first impressions about the African coast, when he, or the narrator, presents his thoughts and opinions about the African coast. These thoughts and opinions will be presented by a descriptive text, where you will see the use of adjectives, which are words that try to characterize and conceptualize something or someone. What he thinks about the French ship will also be presented through a descriptive text with the presence of adjectives, but directly related to the ship and not the African coast.
In the great moonlight clearings I slunk along
among the shadows on the margin. In the
jungle I crept forward, stopping with a
beating heart whenever I heard, as I often
did, the crash of breaking branches as some
wild beast went past. Now and then great
shadows loomed up for an instant and were
gone-great, silent shadows which seemed to
prowl upon padded feet.
