"The Discovery of the Atom"
Atomic theory began as an ancient philosophy dating back to at least the fifth and sixth centuries BCE in both Greece and
India. In fact, the word atom is taken from the Greek word "atomos," meaning indivisible. The term atom was used to define
the basic particle that made up a chemical element. Chemists during the time of the ancient Greeks believed that atoms were
the fundamental particles of matter. In other words, the atom was thought to be the smallest possible unit that matter could
be broken down into. This basic philosophy proposed that a solid object could potentially be divided again and again, until it
eventually reached the smallest indivisible unit-an atom. Followers of this ideology were called atomists. In the fifth century,
a Greek philosopher named Leucippus and his pupil Democritus proposed that all matter was made up of atoms.
Based on the prefix philo, what does the word philosophy mean?
A)
against learning
B)
a place of learning
devoted to learning
D)
a person who learns

For years, Marco has wanted to visit the beach. Today he is finally there. He walks toward the ocean. Then he slowly dipped his feet into the water. The water feels cold and wonderful. His dream has come true.

Which revision fixes the inappropriate shift in tense in the paragraph?

A) Change has wanted to wanted in Sentence 1.

B) Change is to was in Sentence 2.

C) Change dipped to dips in Sentence 4.

D) Change feels to has felt in Sentence 5.​

Answers

Answer:

C) Change dipped to dips in Sentence 4.

Explanation:

According to the given sentence, there was an inappropriate verb shift from present continuous tense to past tense.

Reading the sentence closely, you'll notice that the verbs used are mostly in the present continuous form. "He WALKS towards the ocean", "The water FEELS cold..." and then you notice that there is a shift from the present continuous tense to past tense in Sentence 4 when the author said, "Then he slowly DIPPED" his feet... "

Therefore, the revision that fixes the inappropriate shift in tense in the paragraph is to change dipped to dips in Sentence 4.

Read the excerpt below (from Henry Adams' The Education of Henry Adams) with accuracy and fluency. Discuss any unfamiliar words from the passage and what strategies you used to understand them.

Until the Great Exposition closed its doors in November, Adams haunted it, aching to absorb knowledge, and helpless to find it. He would have liked to know how much of it could have been grasped by the best-informed man in the world. While he was thus meditating chaos, Langley came by, and showed it to him. At Langley's behest, the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself to the skin, for Langley knew what to study, and why, and how; while Adams might as well have stood outside in the night, staring at the Milky Way. Yet Langley said nothing new, and taught nothing that one might not have learned from Lord Bacon, three hundred years before; but though one should have known the "Advancement of Science" as well as one knew the "Comedy of Errors," the literary knowledge counted for nothing until some teacher should show how to apply it.

Answers

This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.

Answer and Explanation:

The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".

To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".

Which of the following questions is the best example of an open-ended research question? Do working mothers need assistance? What is the capital of Texas? Should the government limited the amount of junk food students consume? What factors caused the civil war?

Answers

Answer:

What factors caused the civil war?

Explanation:

A question can be defined as a statement that begs or requires an answer, response or reply.

Generally, there are three (3) main types of question and these includes;

I. Rhetorical question: this is a question that expresses a person's opinion but do not require an answer, reply or response.

II. Open-ended question: this type of question requires the respondent to give a detailed explanation rather than just a yes or no response.

III. Between the lines: it involves discovering an answer that is implied but not stated explicitly. Thus, the answer is hidden in the piece of information provided.

Hence, the best example of an open-ended research question is, "What factors caused the civil war?" because several answers and a well-detailed explanation would be given by the respondent.
