THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.

"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.

"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."

"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"

"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."

Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.

The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.

"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.

With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.

Read the following line from the text:

He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

Select the correct meaning of the word haggard.

Energized
Exhausted
Gentle
Handsome

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is exhausted i think

Answer 2

Answer:

Exhausted

Explanation:

The word Haggard means: "looking exhausted and unwell, especially from fatigue, worry, or suffering."

Using context clues such as "Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure" and "He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport," Exhausted makes the most sense in the scenario.

What is the lowest price vou can take for this book sir asked the leisurely customer.

A. Books take time to select.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

it could've been a, but for what it is mostly about b makes more sense cause it mentioned things the man did with his time such as when it talks about him spending an hour turning over books

it doesn't seem like a cause books in general isn't that special because you can't rush everything. it cant be c cause the person wanting to buy the book didn't want to pay the price that was asked, the clerk wasn't wrong, also it never said the specific price or what kind of book the man wanted to buy so d wouldn't be right and it said everything when the man just wanted a book

Healthy citizens are the greatest asset of
country. what can a state do to keep her citizens healthy,? explain

Answers

There is a lot of room for interpretation here. Without many guidelines this question can do so many ways so I will do my best to answer.

A state can make sure it’s citizens are healthy with a ready supply of medical supplies. Without the supplies the medical field would be undersupplied and unable to accurately or quickly complete its job.

Readily available healthcare is also important for healthy citizens. If your citizens can’t afford treatment or can’t safely afford treatment they will opt to not have it, therefore remain unhealthy for longer. A healthy economy also plays into this so the citizens can afford the healthcare and treatments.

Legislation on requiring “sick days” at work would allow for more healthy citizens as well. If a worker is sick but still has to attend work, so they can live, they will likely infect others. That would only increase the amount of sick people though.

Education on sickness and how it affects yourself and others. Those who are educated are less likely to put others in danger, especially in reference to preventable sicknesses.

All of those options, and many more as it is a broad topic, can allow a state to control the amount of unhealthy citizens. If citizens can afford to, and are educated enough to, stay healthy they will.

Would newspapers be likely to write articles about a rebellion in a nearby country? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

I don't think they would.

Explanation:

Say that the newspapers are in America. The newspapers would be unlikely to write about a rebellion in, say, Japan if it has nothing to do with America. Newspapers only report the news if it has something to do with America. You know those people who buy a newspaper everyday to read? Do you think they're going to waste their money buying a newspaper in America that talks about a rebellion in Japan? Those people don't care about what happens in Japan, because the rebellions don't effect them.

Of course, there are exceptions, like if those people had a relative living in Japan. However, I'm talking about the majority of people who buy newspapers. They want to know what's going on in America, not something that's happening in some other country they don't care about.

If the newspapers wrote about it, their sales would go down and they would lose money.

Unless the rebellion is related to America in some way, I don't think newspapers would write about it since they might lose money, writing about things irrelevant to America.

Answers

Answer:

B. Both Indian and Western culture influence Wind-Wolf and he struggles to belong in each

world.

Explanation:

This is because, Wind-Wolf feels the pressure to identify with both the Western culture due to where he is and at the same time to identify with his Indian culture which happens to be the culture of his father and which he is born into. Choosing one would negate the other hence his struggles.

Behind the door, the stove was making pancakes which filled the house with a rich baked odour and the scent of maple syrup. In the cellar, the incinerator glowed suddenly and a whirl ofsparks leaped up the chimney. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click. Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wallstood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over again and again, even as the sun rose to shine upon the heaped rubble and steam: "Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is..."

how does paragraph 4 contribute to the development of the themeof the story?
Mrs. Pynchum kept the poor-farm, and Gobaly was “town’s poor.” The boys sometimes called him that, when he went to coast on Three-Pine Hill or to see the skating on the mill-pond; and sometimes, too, they made fun of his clothes. But it was only the boys who were a great deal bigger than he who dared to make fun of Gobaly, and some of them even ran when he doubled up his fists. But Methuselah!5 I don’t know what would have become of Methuselah if he had not had Gobaly to defend him. For he was a delicate little fellow; “spindlin’ and good for nothin’,” Mrs. Pynchum called him; and he had come to her in a basket — in other words, Methuselah was a foundling. Mrs. Pynchum “didn’t think much of children who came from nobody knew where. It didn’t seem to belong to Poplarville to support him, since he didn’t belong to anybody that ever lived there, and his keep and his medicine cost more than he would ever be worth, to anybody.”
