Read the passage.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

What is a central idea of "The Ornithopter"?

Select the two correct answers.


A. Leonardo da Vinci's ideas about flight were ahead of their time.

B. The duke's plan for the ornithopter conflicted with that of da Vinci's.

C. Leonardo da Vinci was a creative genius.

D. Artists should make beautiful paintings instead of weapons of war.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B :)

Answer 2

The duke's plan for the ornithopter conflicted with that of da Vinci's.

Leonardo da Vinci was a creative genius.

Explanation:

The Ornithopter let's the readers know that the Duke instructed Leonardo Da Vinci, a brilliant engineer and artist to create a tool of war for him "The Ornithopter" and the conflicting thoughts of Da Vinci to make such a weapon for the Duke.

Therefore, the central idea of The Ornithopter is C  and B

Answer:

"Late at night I usually go to the bathroom multiple times, but for the past four days, every time I go to leave, I can see myself still standing in the mirror from the corner of my eye. It is like the other me is watching me leave the bathroom. It terrifies me to the point where I almost run out without looking directly at the mirror. I never told my husband about it because I didn't want to acknowledge it out loud.

"Earlier today I took a nap in our bed while he sat in the chair next to it watching TV. When I woke up he told me that he had seen me sit up and crawl backward to the edge of the bed and stand up in front of our bedroom door from the corner of his eye. He thought it was weird that I got up like that because I'm in the last month of my pregnancy and I can't really move so well without it hurting, so he tried talking to me.

"When I didn't answer he looked at the door to find me not there and still sleeping in bed. I got really creeped out and I finally told him about what I have been seeing in the bathroom. He thought it was creepy as well but didn't want to really talk about it anymore because he thinks it will give whatever it is power or energy. I have no idea what it wants or why we both saw it."

Answers

Chapter six begins with a newspaper man wanting to know more about Gatsby's parties. Then Nick tells the true story of Jay Gatsby which isn't even his real name. Jay Gatsby was born when James Gatz was 17 and met Dan Cody. Dan Cody then became Jay's mentor and best friend. after Dan died his money was supposed to go to Gatsby but Dan's mistress stepped in and took the money. At Gatsby's house where Nick is, a man named Sloane, a girl and Tom all stop by Gatsby's house. Then Gatsby thinking that Daisy loves him and not Tom taunts Tom and Tom gets mad. Then the girl invites Gatsby to dinner but when he goes upstairs to get dressed they leave.  The following Saturday Tom and Daisy both decide to come to Gatsby's party but Gatsby and Daisy go to Nick's house to be alone. A When they come back, Daisy and tom have an argument on how Gatsby got his money. Tom believes that he got it from bootlegging but Daisy thinks that he got it from the chain of drugstores that he owns. After Daisy and tom leave the party Gatsby finds Nick and tells him that he is unhappy because Daisy had an unpleasant time. Gatsby wants things to be like before he left and wants Daisy to leave Tom but Nick tells Gatsby that you can't re-create the past.

     The next Saturday instead of having a party, Gatsby locks himself up and fires all of his servants to prevent gossip and hires new mean servants. On the hottest day of the summer, Nick visits Daisy at her house and is surprised to see Gatsby and Jordan. Nick, Gatsby, Tom and Daisy all decide to go to New York together. Daisy and Gatsby ride in the Buchanan's car and Tom, Nick and Jordan ride in Gatsby's car. Tom stops for gas at Wilson's garage and Wilson asks for money because he knows that his wife is having an affair but he doesn't know with who and wants to move West. To cool off, the four of them go to the Plaza Hotel where Tom accuses Gatsby of lying about going to Oxford. Then Tom and Gatsby argue about who Daisy loves Tom or Gatsby. On the way back home, Tom, Jordan and Nick stop at Wilson's garage where a tragedy occurred. A yellow automobile struck and killed Myrtle. Nick, Jordan and Tom all know that the automobile was the one with Gatsby and Daisy in it. Later Nick finds Gatsby spying on Daisy to make sure that Tom does not hurt her. Gatsby also reveals that Daisy was driving and hit Myrtle. Still worried Gatsby tells Nick to go check on her and when he notices that Daisy and Tom have reconciled, he left.

     Chapter eight begins with Nick going to Gatsby's house after a sleepless night and gatsby tells Nick that nothing happened at Daisy's house. Nick then suggests that Gatsby leave long Island for a while but Gatsby says that he can't abandon daisy now. Gatsby finally tells Nick the history between him and Daisy. As Gatsby tells the story he is interrupted by his gardener who wants to drain the pool but gatsby wants to use it so he tells the gardener to wait a day. Since Nick was running late he left for his office. When he arrives at his office, Nick received a call from Jordan. After the call the story leads back to the tragedy with Myrtle. Wilson suspected that Myrtle had an affair with someone because he found a dog collar and bruises on Myrtle. Before Myrtle died, Wilson took her to the window and told her that you can't fool God and he thought that the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg were the eyes of God. Wilson also believed that whoever was having an affair with Myrtle killed Myrtle so he went to Gatsby's house. At Gatsby's house he shot Gatsby and himself.

     The final chapter begins with Nick dealing with the police and the photographers. After dealing with them he tries to call Daisy but they left with no forwarding address. Besides Daisy, Nick tries to find other friends and relatives of Gatsby but no one wants to pay their respects. Nick was able to delay the funeral until Gatsby's father, Mr. Gatz was able to arrive. Mr. Gatz also filled Nick in with Gatsby's early life. Shortly after the funeral, Nick decides to go back home. Before he leaves Nick meets Jordan one last time. Jordan says that Nick is just another careless driver like her. As Nick is leaving he bumps into Tom. Tom reveals that he was the one who told Wilson that it was Gatsby's car. Then the book ends with Nick on Gatsby's blue lawn looking at Daisy's green light.
