Paragraph 2: Until 1828, few people knew how to ignite anthracite and use it for fuel. That was because anthracite was so compact that no ordinary flame could make it burn. Then, a Scotsman named James Neilson invented the hot blast furnace. The air produced in the first chamber of the furnace was blown over anthracite located in the second chamber. That hot air caused the surface of the anthracite to ignite. Because anthracite was so dense, it could produce enough heat to melt iron ore. It was also plentiful, and a little went a long way, which lowered the cost of iron production. Once the hot blast technique was perfected, anthracite was in demand all over the world. In the United States, anthracite was found exclusively in Pennsylvania. As a result, Pennsylvania's mining industry boomed during the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, when newer fuels replaced anthracite, the black gold rush ended and most anthracite mines were abandoned.

According to the information in paragraph 2, why is anthracite able to produce a significant amount of heat?
A. because it is easily ignited

B. because it is dense and compact

C. because it is a plentiful type of coal

D. because it is a cheap source of energy

Pick one character and write a detailed paragraph discussing that person's similarities and differences in the film version and the original story

Answers

Answer:

yes as the top guy said it

Explanation:

im sorry if this didnt help

Answer:

The setting of the film and that of the original text are similar, but they differ in some ways. In both the film and in the original text, the story is set in England. However, in the original story, Watson and Holmes work out of their shared apartment at Baker Street, in London. In the film, they work in a fancy office with modern equipment, such as intercoms and typewriters. Holmes also has a female secretary in the film. So the setting for Holmes’s workplace in the film differs greatly from the setting in the original text.

The setting of the crime scene—the Stoke Moran manor—is much the same in the story and in the film. The original text mentions gypsies residing on the plantation grounds of the Roylott estate. The film also shows gypsies living outdoors on the estate. I was surprised to see just how much the setting of Stoke Moran was how I had imagined it to be while reading the story. This dark and gloomy setting in the film helped the director create a mood of mystery and evil.

Read this excerpt from "One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Scientists debated creating a killer virus to study in the lab. In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control proposed deliberately combining a deadly bird flu virus with a very contagious human flu virus to understand whether and how it might cause a worldwide outbreak, or "pandemic.” Scientists said the lab experiments would help them understand what might already be happening naturally. . . .

But other people thought such research was a terrible idea. What if these viruses escaped the lab by mistake? What if a government or terrorist organization wanted to use the viruses against their enemies?

In 2013, two research groups outside the United States went ahead and conducted their own experiments. One group, led by Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands, showed that the highly lethal mixed up flu virus could infect and kill ferrets. A few months later, a Chinese group led by Chen Hualan at China’s Harbin Veterinary Research Institute showed the recombined virus could infect and kill guinea pigs. Both groups ran their studies before a worldwide ban on this type of research was put into place in 2012.

One of the main ideas presented in this passage is the controversy over whether or not flu research is safe. What do these paragraphs suggest about the safety of such research?

A worldwide ban on dangerous flu research was put into place in 2012, so the threat of people using flu viruses to attack others no longer exists.
Since all of the information that could be learned from such research has already been discovered, scientists no longer need to create new flu viruses, and therefore the controversy is over.
Although none of the deadly flu viruses made for research have been used by dangerous people, since that possibility still exists, the ban on the research might be important.
The research has already resulted in the deaths of animals, so people who once thought creating and researching new flu viruses was important are no longer supporting it.

Answers

Answer:

d   a government or terrorist organization wanted to use the viruses

Explanation:got it right on 2021 edg

The paragraph that suggests the safety of doing the research is that the research caused the deaths of animals, so people who thought about creating and researching new flu viruses are no longer allowed.

Option D is the correct answer.

What is the flu virus?

The flu virus is a disease caused by a virus named influenza virus.

Research about the flu virus was banned in the year 2012. It led to the death of many animals and guinea pigs are one of them. The people who thought about formulating and doing research about the virus are not allowed to do that.

Therefore, the paragraph mentioned in part D suggested the safety of doing research.

I would say “loud and dramatic.” The text includes dramatic and emphasized word choice such as “face to face with reality” and “will their friendship be knocked out forever?” This is not a horror, classical, or upbeat type of film, leaving the only option to be “loud and dramatic.”
Defined loud and dramatic! When you get these types of questions, I recommend reading them quietly to yourself as if you’re narrating the trailer, it helps! When I read it to myself it gave vibes off loud and dramatic music. I would think it’s the first option even if I hadn’t read it to myself!

The most accurate analysis of 'The Tell-Tale Heart' is the creation of suspense by the author by using analogy series.

Option B is the correct answer.

Who wrote the Tell-Tale Heart?

The Tell-Tale Heart wrote by an author named Edgar Allan Poe in the year 1843. It is a form of short story narrative.

The author creates suspense in the short story by using a series of analogies. The analogy is basically a combination of similar words which aims to be having a comparison further. The narrator in the story is insane and has also murdered an old man.

Therefore, the use of analogy series by the author creates suspense which proves to be the most accurate critique of the given story.
