As you read this excerpt from "Fold Here: Scientific Uses for an Ancient Art Form," notice how the writer tries to make a difficult concept easier for the reader.

While the human body remains a mystery even to scientists who study it their entire lives, it is not the only far frontier. Astrophysicists find outer space equally difficult to explore and explain, and they too have considered practical and technical uses for origami. A team at San Bernardino Valley College in Southern California created Starshade, a large structure that looks like a sunflower and acts like a pair of sunglasses: By blocking out a star's overpowering rays of light, the device helps a telescope produce a clearer image of the planets that orbit the star.

What analogy is used in this paragraph?

A) Starshade acts "like a pair of sunglasses" by blocking out light rays.
B) Astrophysicists find it difficult to explore outer space.
C) The human body is still a mystery to most scientists today.
D) Starshade was created by a team at San Bernardino Valley College.

Answers

Answer:

The young gazelle was being rather "obtuse" to the high level of "jeopardy" that it was in, as the pride of lionesses began to encircle it while it drank from the watering hole

Explanation:

The correct answers are "obtuse" and "jeopardy".

This means that the young gazelle was insensitive to the high level of danger that it was in when the pride of lionesses encircled the gazelle while it drank from the watering hole.

So, "obtuse" and "jeopardy" are the correct answers because they explain the true meaning of the passage.

d) polymer

Answers

Answer: a) enzyme

Explanation:

Answer:

Enzyme.

Enzymes are protein catalysts that are produced by living plants and animals. They help speed up many biological reactions like the conversion of urea to ammonia and starch to maltose.

Peptide bonds, isomers and polymers aren't the correct answers as they are neither proteins nor do they speed up chemical reactions. They are purely structural terms.

Dignity of the human person in social media

Answers

Answer:

This is what I know....

Explanation:

Dignity is the right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically. It is of significance in morality, ethics, law and politics as an extension of the Enlightenment-era concepts of inherent, inalienable rights. The term may also be used to describe personal conduct, as in "behaving with dignity".

Answer:

1. Dignity that humans can acquire (or lose) through a sense of self-worth: I have dignity when I believe in my own worth. pride in oneself or a conscious sense of one's own worth as a human being living a meaningful life, worthy of the respect of others.

2. Catholic Church  proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is  the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of  all the principles of our social teaching. 

3. In our society, human life is under  direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being  threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death  penalty. 

4. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means

5. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

Use ACTIVE to find three questions on the shorts story “up the slide”

Answers

All of these are informed by London's adventurous life, which included stints as a sailor and as a gold prospector in the Klondike region of Alaska, where there was a Gold Rush in the 1890s: the setting of ''Up the Slide''.

We know a few important things about the main character, Clay Dilham: he's young (seventeen) and arrogant. He's traveling with a man named Swanson to the village of Dawson to pick up mail. They've camped for the night when Clay boasts he'll be able to return with a sled full of firewood in just 30 minutes. This young whippersnapper is quite proud that he noticed a dead tree other travelers had overlooked. The only problem? It's high up on Moosehead Mountain, on a steep slide, or rock face, covered in snow.

No biggie, Clay thinks to himself. He knows the frozen river is below the tree and thinks that if he chops it down so it falls on the ice, the trunk will shatter into pieces: firewood ready-to-go. The older, more experienced Swanson just laughs at Clay's boldness. We have the sneaking suspicion that the opening of the story is a sign things won't turn out as planned, that this foreshadows, warning or indication, challenges to come.

Conflict: Man vs. Nature
As soon as Clay begins making his way up the slide, he realizes it's much steeper than he thought, and he regrets wearing slick-soled walrus-skin moccasins instead of more rugged footwear. He reaches a patch of snow-covered grass and keeps slipping on it. The only way he can make it through is by digging his bare hand into the snow and frozen dirt to slowly pull himself up. Finally, he makes it up to his tree, and chopping it down turns out to be the easiest part of the whole ordeal.

Clay looks at the way he came up the slide and realizes he'll just keep slipping and falling if he tries to climb back down. He starts to feel tired, but realizes if he stops moving, he'll freeze in the 30-below weather. Clay has underestimated some of the challenges nature can present and overestimated his ability to handle them. This makes ''Up the Slide'' a classic example of the literary conflict called man vs. nature.

2. Carry Over

(If the final consonant (받침) is followed by a vowel it's sound gets combined with the next vowel and it is pronounced as a part of the next syllable & not as an independent character.)

3. Nasalisation

(In Korean phonetic system , ㄴ ㅁ and ㅇ are considered as the nasal sounds. But we must remember that if "ㅇ" is in the initial position it is not a nasal consonant but a null consonant with no sound.)

4. Aspiration

(When a consonant is followed by ㅎ , it gets influenced and changes to aspirated consonant.)

Which description best fits a narrative essay?

Answers

Answer:

The idea that best fits for writing a narrative essay is my experiences at Camp Wocasuto.

Explanation:

A narrative essay is a piece of writing in which the author makes reference to a story. Sometimes, the author decides to write about a personal experience and, in this case, it is possible for him/her to use the first person pronoun, that is to say "I". Generally, the author of a narrative essay includes details and descriptions. The idea included in option b) is related to a personal experience; therefore, it can be used to write a narrative essay.

Answers

Answer: i think it's a misplaced modifier

Explanation: I think it a misplaced modifier.  The 4th doesnt make sense because the sentence is a independent sentence. Meaning the it is a sentence on its own so when it says a fragment it means is it a dependent sentence when it isn't its a independent sentence. The 3rd one doesn't make sense because for the sentence to be wordy it has to have parts that don't matter to the main point of the sentence. The sentence it gave you has all words that matter to the sentence and without thm it wouldn't make sense. I don't think it is a run on sentence because a run on sentence normal has things you don't need to know inside a sentence like "I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time." if it wasn't a run on sentence it would just say the important detail like " I love to write papers".  Last I think its a misplaced modifier because the sentence is a awkwardly said. I think if the sentence was said without the misplaced modifier it would be like " The Apple Festival takes place in September it celebrates our towns most important crop". I think you have better reason on why it could be a misplaced modifier then the others. Sorry I wrote so much btw
