Read the excerpt adapted from The Rocket: The Story of the Stephensons, Father and Son by H. C. Knight.

It was a critical moment, but [Stephenson] had no fears of the result. Robert often came to Liverpool to consult with his father, and long and interesting discussions took place between father and son concerning the best mode of increasing and perfecting the powers of the mechanism. One thing wanted was greater speed; and this could only be gained by increasing the quantity and the quality of the steam. For this effect a greater heating surface was necessary, and mechanics had long been experimenting to find the best and most economical boiler for high-pressure engines.
Young James, son of that Mr. James who, when the new Liverpool and Manchester route was talked of, was the first to discover and acknowledge George Stephenson's genius, made the model of an improved boiler, which he showed to the Stephensons. He introduces himself to our notice now with a patented model of an improved boiler in his hand, which Stephenson thinks it may be worth his while to make trial of. "Try it," exclaimed the young inventor—"try it, and there will be no limit to your speed. Think of thirty miles an hour!"
The improved boiler was what is called a multi-tubular boiler. An iron boiler is cast, six feet long, and three feet and a third in diameter. It is to be filled half full of water. Through this lower half there run 25 copper tubes, each about three inches in diameter, open at one end to the fire, through which the heat passes to the chimney at the other end. You see this would present a great deal of heating surface to the water, causing it to boil and steam off with great rapidity. The invention was not a sudden growth, as no inventions are. Fire-tubes serving this use started in several fertile minds about the same time, and several persons claimed the honor of the invention; but it was Stephenson's practical mind which put it into good working order and made it available. For he told Robert to try it in his new locomotive.

What new information is presented in this text that is not present in "The Steam Engine"?

A.
George Stephenson was joined by other inventors to enhance the design of locomotives.
B.
George Stephenson conceived of a special road designed to carry the weight of a steam train.
C.
George Stephenson's genius transformed steam engines to transport passengers and goods.
D.
George Stephenson's developments made the new railroad commercially successful.

Read the passage from Initiation.

Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had broken on her head as she knelt blindfolded at the sorority altar a short while before. There had been a silence, a slight crunching sound, and then she had felt the cold, slimy egg-white flattening and spreading on her head and sliding down her neck. She had heard someone smothering a laugh. It was all part of the ceremony.

What technique does the author use to describe Millicent in this scene?

indirect characterization to describe how Millicent appears
indirect characterization to describe what Millicent is feeling physically
direct characterization to describe how Millicent appears
direct characterization to describe how Millicent is feeling emotionally

Answers

Answer:

It is B

Explanation:

Millicent is feeling everything physically, but we also hear the laughs of other people in the back. They also only state what it physically felt like to have an egg cracked on her head, nothing much about t emotionally.

The technique the author uses to describe Millicent in this scene is indirect characterization to describe what Millicent is feeling physically.

What is characterization?

Characterization is the process by which an author creates and develops a character in a story or novel. It can be achieved through various techniques, including direct characterization, indirect characterization, and dialogue.

The technique the author uses to describe Millicent in this scene is indirect characterization to describe what Millicent is feeling physically.

The passage describes the physical sensation of the egg breaking on her head and the cold, slimy egg-white spreading and sliding down her neck.

The author uses sensory details to convey the experience and create a vivid image in the reader's mind.

Thus, this technique helps to immerse the reader in the scene and understand how Millicent is feeling physically, without explicitly stating her emotions.

which sentence is the clearest example of deductive reasoning?

A. Planets are round. My basketball is round. Therefore, my basketball is a planet.
B. Insects have six legs. Ladybugs are insects. Therefore, a ladybug has six legs
C. Rodney is late everyday. Therefore Rodney will be late tomorrow.
D. Max keep losing at tennis. Therefore, Max will win the next game of tennis

By the way the answer is 'b' from a pex

Answers

Answer:

B. Insects have six legs. Ladybugs are insects. Therefore, a ladybug has six legs

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning can be defined as a type of logical reasoning that typically involves drawing conclusions from one or more premises (factual statements) that are assumed to be true generally.

Basically, deductive reasoning starts with a general statement, idea or hypothesis (Insects have six legs; Ladybugs are insects.) and reaches a specific logical conclusion (A ladybug has six legs).

Hence, the sentence which is the clearest example of a deductive reasoning is; "Insects have six legs. Ladybugs are insects. Therefore, a ladybug has six legs."

In conclusion, a deductive reasoning is simply based on drawing an inference and reaching a logical conclusion from one or more premises.

In English language, an inference can be defined as an act or process which typically involves a person deducing the meaning or message from something through induction.
