GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse
Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two
The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.
There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.
He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.
He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.
He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.
"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.
"All set, Captain."
"You understand the program?"
Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."
Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.
"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.
He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

Which strategy is a way to preview a text?
O reading the text carefully
O paraphrasing the main ideas
Ocreating an outline of the text
O analyzing the table of contents
Answer:
Analyzing the table of contents
Explanation:
Previewing is a process in which we gather information about a piece of writing before beginning to read it thoroughly. This way, we can get a general picture of the text, which allows us to remember what we already know about the given topic and predict what the text will be about.
One of the strategies we can use to preview a text is to analyze the table of contents. The table of contents contains all titles and subtitles that help organize the text. Instead of skimming the entire text for titles and subtitles, we can take a quick look at the table of contents and that way find out what the text will be about more quickly.

What does the author mean when he writes that space is a fabric warped by gravity in paragraph 9?
Gravity can distort space.
O Gravity creates ripples in space.
Gravity can move objects in space.
O Gravity creates patterns in space.
Gravity creates patterns in space does the author mean when he writes that space is a fabric warped by gravity in paragraph 9. Hence, option D is correct.
What is The Warp Factor?A phrase used to describe velocity in the subspace region where faster-than-light speeds are conceivable is warp factor. To evaluate the distortion potential of a warp engine, Starfleet and the Federation developed a scale utilizing cochrane units.
Given that v is the ship's effective speed and c is the speed of light, the warp factor is equal to the cubic root of the attained speed ratio of the spacecraft, or v/c. As compared to light speed, warp 1 is faster.
There is a natural physical or financial limit to the warp drive's ability to travel at higher speeds. This cap is given as warp factor 9.99 in the encyclopedia Star Trek Fact Files. This is the spaceship's highest-mentioned conventional warp speed.
Thus, option D is correct.

Answer:
B. It highlights Peter's individuality, which distinguishes him from normal social expectations.
Explanation:
The author uses characterization to develop the passage by highlighting Peter's individuality, which distinguishes him from normal social expectations.
From the excerpt, we can see that the narrator revealed Peter's individuality. He highlighted how usually bespattered his mussy clothes with ink or sometimes with soup which is to the dismay of those of his friends and relatives who knew him. His characteristics actually distinguished him from what was expected in the society. A full grown man soiling his clothes is not something that is socially expected.
Characterization in literature has to do with the description of the distinctive features of someone. Dreiser uses characterization of Peter to develop the passage.

Answer:
I say it's amazing! He stands up to toxic masculinity and proves that clothes have no gender.
Explanation:
Answer:
The idea of manly is a social construct meaning society created/ enforced it upon us causing us (younger generations) to believe that this and that is what a man should were and this and that is what a women should wear. But in reality why does it matter ? If its not hurting you, bothering you or offending you why does it matter. see women are always quick to get offended when we get dress coded and we are quick to use the argument that we should be able to wear what we want which is true. But if its true for us its true for men as well.
