By Ben Slivnick 2018

B. it proves that intelligent people tend to have more complex dreams.
C. it demonstrates the importance of trying to understand our dreams.
D. it supports the theory that your brain is organizing information as you sleep.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. It shows how new and influential ideas can come across from dreams.

Explanation:

Ben Slivnick's "The Story Behind Your Dreams" argues about the origin and causes of why people dream. Are dreams a vision or mere memories that our subconscious mind plays in our thoughts?

Arguing on how many theorists believe in the importance of one's dreams and how they are connected with one's memories, Slivnick delves into how dreams are an essential part of our lives. He presents an example of how Paul McCartney and Rene Descartes are some famous people who have got inspirations or were influenced by what they saw in their dreams. And by taking these personas as examples, the author presents how dreams can help influence a person in developing new ideas.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

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

Answers

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.

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.

Explanation:

Which sentence best shows the writer is considering the audience's perspective on the topic? Some parents might think that uniforms will not affect their children's studies. We think wearing school uniforms creates a sense of belonging in the students toward the school as well as their peers. If every student is dressed in a uniform, no one will feel left out based on the outfit they are wearing. Thus, wearing school uniforms will also improve the overall academic performance of students.​

Answers

The correct answer is "Some parents might think that uniforms will not affect their children's studies"

Explanation:

In argumentative texts such as essays, authors might directly or indirectly address the audience to better explain the main point of the text/speech and convince the audience. In the excerpt presented this occurs in "Some parents might think that uniforms will not affect their children's studies" because in this sentence the author directly refers to parents, who are likely the main audience of this text. Moreover, the purpose of the author is to reinforce the idea uniforms are important and prove the ideas some parents have about this issue are not correct.

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...."

Egyptian Society and Economy

Like most ancient civilizations, Egypt had a hierarchical social structure. At the top of society was the pharaoh, who was not only the monarch, but also considered to be a living god. Next were government officials and priests, and then there was a large middle class composed of merchants, soldiers, farmers, and artisans. Most Egyptians belonged to this class, and farming was the most usual occupation. At the bottom of the social ladder were slaves and servants.
Because of its location near the Mediterranean & Red Seas, it was easy for Egyptians to trade with other civilizations nearby, such as Nubia, Palestine, and Greece. Exports included grain, linen, and papyrus; imports included lumber, gold, and incense. The female pharaoh Hatshepsut is especially well-known for promoting trade.

One can say that no turban-wearing male minister would have been capable of dealing with these matters as brilliantly as she did. Her husband used to consult her first on any state business, be it military or political, and would always take the course she recommended. After her husbands death, she took control of her sons with great wisdom. Even though each one of them was prince and therefore capable of ruling by his own will, she made sure they never departed from the rules of the ancient Mongol laws of conduct. When her son, Gyk Khan, was raised to the throne, he and his brothers were the only princes who because of Bekis wise guidancewere found always to have acted according to the laws. The great nobles of the assembly that gave the khanate to Gyk are said to have praised Beki with the following verse: And if all women were like her, then women would indeed be superior to men. Although she herself was a Christian, Beki generously supported the Muslim religion. She gave 1,000 silver coins to build an Islamic school in the city of Bukhara. She also gave alms every year to be distributed among the poor and needy Muslims.
