Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.

The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.

In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.

Which statement correctly describes the order of events in the development of elevators?


A. Because hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, Otis placed an elevator in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.
B. After the first elevator was installed for passenger service, hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.
C. When hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, the steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry.
D. As building heights increased, the steam elevator was replaced by hydraulic and electrical systems, and hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.

B) After the first elevator was installed for passenger service, hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.

Explanation:

It is unknown when the first elevator was erected specifically for passenger service, although it was most likely around 1857. Following that, operators of hotels and retail establishments gradually became aware of the business benefits associated with elevating their consumers.

A Lion asleep in his lair was awakened by a Mouse running over his face. Losing his temper he seized it with his paw and was about to kill it. The Mouse, terrified, piteously entreated him to spare its life. "Please let me go," it cried, "and one day I will repay you for your kindness." The idea of so insignificant a creature ever being able to do anything for him amused the Lion so much that he laughed aloud, and good-humouredly let it go. But the Mouse's chance came, after all. One day the Lion got entangled in a net, which had been spread for game by some hunters, and the Mouse heard and recognized his roars of anger and ran to the spot. Without more ado it set to work to gnaw the ropes with its teeth, and succeeded before long in setting the Lion free. "There!" said the Mouse, "you laughed at me when I promised I would repay you: but now you see, even a Mouse can help a Lion."

Which element of plot is bolded in the fable above? (5 points)

falling action
resolution
climax
exposition

Answers

This part of the story represents the exposition.

Since this is the beginning of the story, we can instantly rule out all three of the other choices and here's why.

1.) Falling action occurs after the Climax (or the peak of the story/ main conflict).

2.) Climax is the highest point of action in a story, meaning that this is towards the middle rather than the first.

3.) Resolution is the ending of a story, or how an agreement or dissagreement was ended.

This leaves us with the exposistion, the beginning details with the least amount of action.

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

Explanation:

Paragraph 1 Although it has never regained the popularity it held in the 1920s, the pogo stick has never stopped being made and sales have remained relatively steady. However, the pogo stick has gone through several changes. In 1947, Mr. Hansburg designed a new type of steel pogo stick with a longer-lasting spring, and, as recently as 2001, an American company came out with an air-powered pogo stick made from aircraft- grade aluminum. Time Magazine voted this version of the pogo stick to be a “retro favorite” and one of the best inventions of 2001. Paragraph 2 Surely you have seen a hula hoop. Many people think that the hula hoop was invented in the 1950s. However, the hula hoop is an ancient toy. No company and no single inventor can claim to have invented the first hula hoop. The ancient Greeks used hooping as a form of exercise. In the past, hoops were made from metal, wood, bamboo, grass, and even vines. Paragraph 3 The materials to make yoyos have changed. Early yoyos were made of wood, metal, and clay. Today many yoyos are made of a durable plastic. Few people know that yoyos were the first toy to travel to space. In 1985 and again in 1992, NASA sent yoyos on its space shuttles.

An old proverb says honesty is the best policy. Sometimes, however, honesty might hurt a person’s feelings.
1. Explain why you either agree or disagree with being honest at all times.
Use specific details and examples to convince others to support your position.
You must write a minimum of 6 sentences.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, honesty might hurt a person's feelings but there is something said about being honest. I agree that honesty is the best policy and that it is one of the key foundations that builds any lasting relationship. Honesty is a core value and says a lot about who we are as individuals. We spend a lot of time building trust in relationships but all it takes it one lie for a person to doubt you.

No one in their life seeks out someone who chooses to be dishonest. Rather, we all look for people who we can trust. Whether it is someone we can share minor details with or even share our most intimate secrets with. With honesty, comes reliability. Honesty breeds trustworthy people. When you feel that you can trust someone you are more likely to rely on that person for things in your life.

Honesty makes life easier. I'm sure we can all recall a time we have told a lie and how stressful that can be. Keeping a web of lies straight and untangled can become complicated. Dishonesty causes stress and frustration. It's just simply easier to tell the truth. Plus, I am sure we have all heard the saying, "Eventually in the end the truth comes out".

Honesty is also a sign of respect. When we choose honesty, we show someone a deep appreciation and love for them. Why lie to a person to spare their feelings when sometimes telling the truth could just make them a stronger person? This doesn't mean you have to use harsh words to convey your message. True friendships will value your opinions and seek your advice. When honesty is one of your core values it makes you more of an authentic persons. It's easy for people to put on a mask or pretend to be someone you are not. Honesty pushes us past those uncomfortable situations and forces us to be our true selves and forces us to stand up to/for uncomfortable situations at times.

I feel like honesty is an admirable trait but I truly believe you end up doing more good than harm. Giving them the truth they deserve than allowing them to live in deception and lies. People love consistency and it shows bravery. It takes a strong person to stand up to others and live the truth, to live an honest way. There is bravery in deciding to be honest.
