Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!

Which statement from the excerpt expresses an opinion rather than a fact?

I'm trying to broaden up my vocabulary and try to make my vocabulary sound more professional. What steps should I take to achieve this? Please help me.

Answers

hey!

You could always try to use a dictionary and find 'bigger' or more complicated words that have the same meaning. The only way to learn new words and how to use them is to study. You can read or even find a book that has the voice so you can listen but still look at the words to know how they are spelt. I know studying sucks but that's really the only way to learn the words and broaden up your vocabulary.

I hope this helped you in some way.

What historians refer to as the First Red Scare?

In 1919 to the early 1920s in the United States, following the Bolsvhevik Revolution which brought communism to power in Russia.  

The Bolsheviks (meaning "the Majority") were the communist faction that led a successful overthrow of the regime of the tsar in Russia in 1917.

  They weren't a "majority" in Russia, but they were the dominant group within the Russian communist movement.  Civil war in Russia followed during the next years, from 1917 into the early 1920s, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1922.  

There was fear in the United States (as there was elsewhere in the world) that communism would begin to spread further, beyond Russia.

Thus, people who use the internet are generally interested in participating in international events.

I followed the footprints in the sand. The never ending steps felt daunting as I moved forward. There was a strong stench in the air. The water fading as I took each step. Moving further from all familiarity I once knew. I took a deep breath. I began to shake out of fear as I saw a man appear from the shadows. He seems quite glum. His body language seemed to be ever change because as I got closer he seemed to grow this tantalizing grin. I knew nothing good was to come from this. I yelled out but saw as though there was nothing but a bit of rock behind me. No one could hear me now. I had to choose my next move wisely. I tell myself, you only have one shot at this. He reaches for my hand. I snap my wrist back to show my doubt. He leaned upon me. Lifeless, I asked him, am I going to die?

Answer:

I followed the footprints in the sand hoping it would dirstract the pain in my head. The footprints seemed small, too small. Reminding me of of Emma, my 8 year old daughter who is now lost in this selfish big world. The footprints went on for a while. A little part of me hoping they were Emma's. The footprints stoped and as i glanced up, of coarse it wasn't Emmas but instead this little boy sitting by himself reading a book.

I was shocked to see this little 5-6 year old reading a thick chapter book. As i walked toward him he paid little to no attention in me, just glaring into the thick book. Thats about when I saw a tear drop from his eye. I went up sat next to him as he quickly started to wipe his face.

" Are you ok?" I asked without hesitaion. He looked up and said, "Yeah, im fine. Just missing my parents." He then closed his book and stared blankly in the sand.

"You see, my parents droped me off at school but when I came back they were just not home" he said trying to hold back tears. " They never came back?" I asked, hoping he would respond. He didn't.

"I know how it feels to loose something that you love the most." I said staring into the ocean.

"You really don't though." he said making an unreadable expression.

"I lost my daughter a month ago." I blurted

"Oh, i'm sorry. I shoudn't have been rude...I didn't..." he started to trail off.

"It fine." i interupted. Then nobody talked for a while.

We both stated fidiling with the sand, making castles, forts, burying eachother. It was the most fun I ever had this month. The boy seemed calm and collective. I envied him.

"So lady, whats your name?" the boy asked enthusistically

" You can call me Rose, short for Rosalie." I infomed

" Neat! You can call me Ben!" he said.

I forgot that this same boy that was crying earlier was this happy little boy.

"Who do you live with now?" I asked knowig it might have been a sensitive subject.

"My aunt, she doesn't want to help me find my parents" he said while building a sand castle. "but I want to help you find your daughter..."

"Emma" I responded

"Ah Emma, if you will help me find my parent?" he looked up to see my response

A tear ruled down my eye. "S-sure" I said smiling and wiping my tear.

If this is incorrect, please don't refrain to tell me. If you happen to add a comment about what the audio reader is saying, I can edit this answer. Thank you.

I think it’s the last one. I’m not sure since I don’t know what it really sounds like, but it seems it would be coming from someone one has strong opinions about love.
