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.
What does the author mean by “we may say that nature strikes a match”?
A. Matches were created by nature.
B. Matches did not help people.
C. Matches required natural chemicals.
D. Nature provided fire for humans.

How do the senses used in the excerpt from "Digging" and the haiku affect a reader's understanding and interpretation of each? The excerpt from "Digging" relies much more heavily on images of nature to convey its main idea than the haiku does. The excerpt from "Digging" uses lines of equal length throughout, while the lines of the haiku are of varying lengths. The excerpt from "Digging" discusses the relationship between writing and farming, while the haiku only discusses nature. The excerpt from "Digging" focuses on sound devices to reveal its story, while the haiku focuses on visual imagery.
The senses are used to create imageries and feelings that make it easier for a reader to understand a text. In the excerpts from "Digging" and "The Haiku" different uses of the senses apply because;
The excerpt from "Digging" focuses on sound devices to reveal its story, while the haiku focuses on visual imagery.In the excerpt from "Digging", words that appeal to the senses of sound are used. Examples are, squelch, slap, and curt cuts. A curt cut is a blunt cut. These appeal to a person's sense of hearing.
In "The Haiku" visual imagery is used as the reader is made to imagine a chrysanthemum plant that looks sickly but is somehow budding.
Therefore, option D provides an accurate difference between the usage of the senses in the two texts.
Here is the excerpt:
From "Digging"
The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.

Writing the beginning of a detective story
Thank you for your time!
Answer:
A catastrophe happened in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday. Jane Doe, an 18-year-old University student who was a member of the Alpha Delta fraternity, drowned after sliding over the Tempe town bridge into the lake. Many in the ASU, Zeta Theta, and Phoenix communities, as well as his family and loved ones, are in grief after the young business major's death.
On Sunday, with the body still missing, Jane's friend phoned Andy. He dispatched a psychic squad to find the dead. The one flaw with Andy's detective company is that all of his investigators are psychics who never go to crime scenes.
Andy, a 60-year-old retired detective from the NYPD's Blue Division and the Phoenix Police Department, started his own detective agency in 2019. He used to "not believe in this psychic foolishness," but when a psychic helped him solve a case with the Phoenix Police Department, he changed his mind.
Andy's primary objective was to locate missing persons in a variety of circumstances around the Valley. Initially, he struggled to persuade the police to take any of his 100 hired psychics seriously. However, he said that as their success increased, they acquired the respect and confidence of the Valley's police departments and detective organizations.
Esmerelda Rowena, a 30-year-old psychic who can contact with the dead, solved the Jane Doe case. “Esmerelda Psychic Readings” is her psychic company in Sedona, Arizona. She joined Doe's agency because she had "saw many horrible deaths." After conversing to the dead, Rowena learned what happened to Jane that night. “She was a troubled young woman with a great future, but this sad occurrence lost her life,” she added.
Sammy, Jane's college buddy, was grieving and seeking answers. He said Jane disappeared at a Mill Avenue pub. “I assumed she left with a male,” he said. This is when Sammy called Andy's agent. When Rowena discovered Jane, Sammy praised the psychics. After the incident, Sammy promised to be more careful with friends. Funeral was held out at sea.

what season does hail occur
Answer:
Spring
Explanation:
Answer/Explanation:
spring
Hailstorms can occur during the spring, summer or fall months. The majority of these storms appear between May and September.
Hail forms when strong currents of rising air, known as updrafts, carry droplets of water high enough that they freeze. This is why it can still hail in the summertime – the air at ground level may be warm, but it can still be cold enough higher up in the sky.
