Differentiate solid materials when bent and when pressed, pls help me!
Answer:
When pressing a solid material it can take a different shape or change in size, however when bending a solid material this does not happen.
Explanation:
Solid state materials at a certain temperature are characterized by:
present a high cohesion between the molecules that form it (the particles are united by very high attractive forces that make them remain almost fixed) have a constant shape and volume often forming characteristic geometric structures such as crystalline structures they are incompressible are resistant to fragmentation they do not have fluidity because the particles can only vibrate around fixed positions
A flexible material cannot be molded and only accepts shape changes when bending.
You do not get new materials when pressing a solid material.
The solid materials take the different shapes or sizes when it is pressed. The solid materials do not change the shape or size in bending.
The solid-state materials at some level of temperature:
Contain a high cohesion among the molecules that make them united at high force and thus they remain fixed. It also has a constant shape and volume such as crystalline structures. The solid materials are incompressible and lack fluidity because the particles of the materials vibrate in a fixed position.A fixed solid material cannot be molded and can only accept the changes in shapes when blended. The solid materials are so hard that they cannot be pressed and if pressed, they do not change the shape or size.Therefore the solid material can be bent but not pressed due to its hard nature.

One or more hyphens are used correctly in all of these sentences except which one?
Answer:
C. Helen told Fred that she would love him ever-more.
Explanation:
The hyphen is a punctuation mark that is used to separate syllables of a single word and also join words that are to be taken as "one meaning or idea". When it is used in such a way, then the word is called or referred to as "a hyphenated" word.
Among the given options, the sentence that requires no use of the hyphen is the third sentence. Here, "ever-more" doesn't need to be joined nor are they a single word.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

One of the French experts, Sylvestre de Sacy, started with the proper names in the Greek passage and tried to find their equivalents in the demotic version. He believed that, after he’d singled out the names, he would be able to identify the demotic letters in each of them. With these letters in hand, he could then go on to translate other names and words in the demotic passage.
But the process proved to be much more difficult than de Sacy had anticipated. He succeeded in isolating the groups of demotic letters for the names of Ptolemy and Alexander, but found it impossible to identify the individual letters in the names. Eventually he gave up, saying, “The problem is too complicated, scientifically insoluble.”
A pupil of de Sacy’s, the Swedish diplomat Johan Akerblad, made better progress. Akerblad managed to locate in the demotic passage all the proper names that occurred in the Greek. From them he constructed a “demotic alphabet” of twenty-nine letters, almost half of which later proved to be correct.

Compare and contrast:
The poet's choice of form has pros and cons. On the one hand, because none of the sentences in the poem are completed, the paragraph-like structure of the poem could make it easy for the reader to get lost or bored. However, this may still have been a valid artistic choice. After all, the poem is about the "elliptical" of excuses for racism, so maybe it makes sense to have the reader get tired, and associate that weariness with those excuses. In contrast, making the poem have lines and stanzas, rather than a paragraph structure, makes the reader more likely to try to interpret the individual significance of each line, rather than look at what the lines all mean together.
