Explanation:
Just as two colors will, when carefully mixed, form a third and different color (yellow and blue, for example, produce green), so too it is sometimes possible to see in the cooperative efforts of living things a resultant accomplishment that defies description on the basis of the characteristics of the creatures involved. A description of the traits and performances of the individual members of a hive of honeybees or a championship athletic team hardly serves to describe the results of their joint efforts.
Which of the following sentences best describes this paragraph?
Make a Selection:

B. The race goes to the swift.

The folly of men has enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity; whereas, on the contrary, it is their opinion that Nature, as an indulgent parent, has freely given us all the best things in great abundance, such as water and earth, but has laid up and hid from us the things that are vain and useless.

which lines in this excerpt from act 1 scene v11 of macbeth imply that macbeth considered duncan a good man
Answer:
Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of how Macbeth propels himself to be the King of Scotland. But despite being king, he would also bring about his downfall in the end.
Act I scene vii of the play reveals Macbeth's reluctance, at some point, about killing Duncan. But if he did not do that, then the throne will not be his. So, pressurized by his wife, he did the deed of killing Duncan and putting the blame on the chamberlains.
But, the opening scene shows Macbeth revealing his true opinion of the King. He admits "Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against".
These lines reveal how Macbeth considered Duncan to be a good man, whose virtues will speak for him even in the afterlife.

Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
The night whispered of distant thunder. It was muggy, hot, a miserable night for sleeping. Twice I had awakened hoping that it was time to be up, but each time the night had been total blackness with no hint of a graying dawn. On the front porch Mr. Morrison sat singing soft and low into the long night, chanting to the approaching thunder. He had been there since the house had darkened after church, watching and waiting as he had done every night since Papa had been injured. No one had ever explained why he watched and waited, but I knew. It had to do with the Wallaces.

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.
Eleven eyes. When at last he dared to look up, what he noticed was their eyes. Each pair a different color: green as a stormy sea, blue as the sky, black as night, or brown as his own. One man had only one eye, and that one as gray as a cloudy day. The other eye was covered with a patch.
There did not seem to be any tails, horns, or fangs among them. There were some alarmingly hairy faces and plenty of big noses, though!
Six big noses, in fact: one long and hooked, two long and straight, one squashed and wide, one turned up at the end, and another as big and red as a radish.

The crew dislikes captain jaggery because from the book Charlotte Doyle
Historically, mining and purifying uranium hasn't been a very clean process. Even transporting nuclear fuel to and from plants poses a contamination risk. And once the fuel is spent, you can't just throw it in the city dump. It's still radioactive and potentially deadly. On average, a nuclear power plant annually generates 20 metric tons of used nuclear fuel, classified as high-level radioactive waste. When you take into account every nuclear plant on Earth, the combined total climbs to roughly 2,000 metric tons a year [source: NEI]. All of this waste emits radiation and heat, meaning that it will eventually corrode any container that holds it.
Choose the best concluding statement for this paragraph.
A) Nuclear power is a good thing, but no one can say how much of a good thing
B) The relative value of employing nuclear power depends largely on the circumstances.
C) Nuclear power involves many environmental dangers, which must be taken into consideration.
D) Nuclear power should be forbidden outright; whatever benefits it brings are far outweighed by the costs.
Answer: C) Nuclear power involves many environmental dangers, which must be taken into consideration.

A business with two locations buys seven large
delivery vans and five small delivery vans. Location A
receives 5 large vans and 2 small vans for a total cost
of $235,000. Location B receives 2 large vans and 3
small vans for a total cost of $160,000. What is the
cost of each type of van? Use x for the price of a large
van and y for the price of a small van.
Answer: price of a large van = $35000
price of a small van = $30000
Explanation:
Let the price of a large van = x
Let the price of a small van = y
Since A receives 5 large vans and 2 small vans for a total cost of $235,000. Location B receives 2 large vans and 3
small vans for a total cost of $160,000. This can be written as:
5x + 2y = 235000 ........ i
2x + 3y = 160000 ........ ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 5
10x + 4y = 470000 ..... iii
10x + 15y = 800000 ..... iv
Subtract iii from iv
11y = 330,000
y = 330000/11.
y = 30,000
From equation I,
5x + 2y = 235000
5x + 2(30000) = 235000
5x + 60000 = 235000
5x = 235000 - 60000
5x = 175000
x = 175000 / 5
x = 35000
Therefore, price of a large van = 35000
price of a small van = 30000
The price of a large van, x and price of a small van, y is $35,000 and $30,000 respectively
Given:
large van = x
small van = y
Location A
5x + 2y = 235,000
Location B:
2x + 3y = 160,000
5x + 2y = 235,000 (1)
5x + 2y = 235,000 (1)2x + 3y = 160,000 (2)
multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 2
15x + 6y = 705,000 (3)
4x + 6y = 320,000 (4)
subtract (4) from (3)
15x - 4x = 705,000 - 320,000
11x = 385,000
x = 385,000 / 11
x = 35,000
substitute x into (2)
2x + 3y = 160,000
2(35,000) + 3y = 160,000
70,000 + 3y = 160,000
3y = 160,000 - 70,000
3y = 90,000
y = 90,000 / 3
y = 30,000
Therefore, the price of a large van, x and price of a small van, y is $35,000 and $30,000 respectively.
