Which sentence could effectively be placed in a summary of Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change because it expresses a key idea objectively? In the 1880s and 1890s, female bicycle racers faced a variety of opponents, including males, horses, and an occasional dog. Some women foolishly pushed themselves to unbelievable lengths, sustaining a multitude of injuries just to be victorious.

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.
According to this excerpt, what was an underlying cause of increased steam elevator production?
construction of tall buildings
the need to move supplies in mills
an elevator in a store on Broadway

You recently left an item ( example, a book, musical instrument etc) on a bus on your way home from school. Write a letter to your cousin who lives in a different town describing what happened after you discovered that you had lost the item.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
Dear…,
Remember how you’re always telling me I am the most forgetful person you have ever met? Well, I guess that must be true. I myself have never met anyone more prone to forgetting things than I am.
Last week, on my way home from school, I left my backpack inside the bus. I know it sounds insane. How can someone coming back from school forget a whole backpack, filled with books, and not notice it until much later? As I said, you were right about me.
I only noticed it was missing when, after dinner, I decided to get started on my English essay. I had brought the books I would need with me – or, at least, I though I had. When I entered my room and walked toward the spot on the floor where I usually drop my backpack once I get home, I realized what had happened.
You can imagine my despair. Precious books, notes, and a couple of devices, all lost at once. It was a nightmare. And you can also imagine how much I feared telling mom. I knew there would be a whole lecture on how little attention I pay to things, on how irresponsible I can be sometimes…
I told her anyway. She did not lecture me. I was shocked. Instead, she helped me contact the people who could help. This was not the school bus, but a regular one. It turns out they had found and kept my backpack. All was good.
Or so I thought. Once it was all solved and I had my backpack lying on my lap while mom drove us both back home, the lecture finally happened. I can’t say I was annoyed or angry. Just embarrassed. And your words, my dear cousin, kept popping in my mind all the while. I don’t ever want to go through this again. I promise to pay more attention from now on.

Is it acceptable to commit a crime at any point in life?
Answers
Answer:
uh...technically no...but as long as you dont get caught...
Explanation:
Answer:
First of all, I don't think that most people who commit crimes really think it's okay, especially in a general sense. Not even specifically to their circumstances, for the most part. I have personally had contact with many non-violent offenders and most have accepted, to some degree, that they are guilty of committing a crime.
So, yes in my opinion there absolutely are times when it is alright (even a natural duty in some cases ) to commit a crime, but only if one is motivated by self preservation or the preservation of others; however no one has a right to take the life of other innocent persons no matter what the motivation may be.

Should Everyone Speak English?
You have been asked to respond to this question: Should everyone in the world speak English? Some support the idea of a universal language because hundreds of languages are currently spoken around the globe, and a single worldwide language would help everyone to communicate more efficiently. Those against this idea highlight the fact that language is an important part of the world's diversity and culture. What do you think?
In a well-developed essay, argue your stance on this issue. Use evidence and examples to defend your position. As you write, remember your essay will be scored based on how well you:
develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates your thesis to the audience.
support your thesis with meaningful reasons and sufficient details.
address the readers' concerns, opposing viewpoints, or counterarguments.
organize your essay in a clear and logical manner, including an introduction, body, and conclusion.
use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.

im not gonna write the whole essay for u i'll give u tips tho
Explanation:
intro para: a lot of different cultures have different stories behind their languages. This argument for a universal language is logical, but insensitive
first para: languages help bring people close to another, even in a foregin land, people can come together and build a relationship if they speak a language that not a lot of people speak
second para: a lot of meaning is held in each word of each language. getting rid of every language except english would mean hundreds and thousands of words would be forgotten. Also, in translating, a lot of meaning is lost
third para (counter claim para): it makes sense for people to want to have easy communication with everyone across the world, but that doesn't mean that we force a language onto people that they don't want to learn. Instead, it should be encouraged that people learn english in school which still speaking their mother tongue so we have the effect of a universal language and easy communication
concluding para: While it make seem like the obvious choice, it is highly diregarding the stories and cultures of other people, which ultimately is what makes humans unique and special.

explain how Tiresias contributes to creon's development as a tragic hero
Answers
Answer:
Sophocles at first portrays Creon as a just leader. He has good, rational reasons for his laws and punishments. By the end of the play Creon’s hubris, or excessive pride, has taken over him, which leads to his demise. He does not realize how bad his hubris has interfered with his dealing of problems until Teiresias’s prophecy. By then it is too late. This is the path of a tragic character. The character has a hamartia, or tragic flaw. More often then not that tragic flaw is excessive pride, hubris. The character then goes through a peripeteia, which is an ironic twist where the character realizes that things will not turn out the way he expected. Finally, the character has an anagnorisis, which is their epiphany that makes them realize their hamartia and see their place in the universe. Creon is the tragic character in the play “Antigone”.
Creon’s tragic flaw, hubris, causes his downfall. Creon will not listen to anyone. He is stubborn and his pride is so great, he can not bring himself to acknowledge that he could ever wrong. When Creon is talking to Teiresias, he thinks that he is being paid off. He does not want to believe he could be wrong about Antigone. Creon even says, “Whatever you say, you will not change my will.” Creon also has a self-righteousness and cockiness, a feeling a he is superior to all. “The State is King!” says Creon, which shows that he even thinks he’s better than the gods are. Creon has too much pride, and the gods do not like that. Creon’s hubris causes his downfall.
Teiresias’s prophecy reveals that Creon is doomed and can not escape fate. When Teiresias tries to make his sacrifice it won’t burn and the birds are fighting, which isn’t a good sign. This means that the gods are angry about something. He also says, “Think: all men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.” Creon has chances to make up for his wrongs and let Antigone free, but he chooses not to because of his pride. This also shows that Creon is doomed. Teiresias also says, “You should be able to yield for your own good.” This is one thing Creon can’t do. Creon is stubborn and reluctant to back down from his laws. He has to look like a strong, unyielding leader, which is a problem. A strong leader would also be able to recognize his faults, but not Creon. Teiresia’s prophecy shows that Creon is doomed and can not escape fate.
Creon finally realizes that his hubris has not let him effectively deal with his conflicts. Creon has his epiphany and even says, “I have been rash and foolish.” He finally acknowledges that he has let his pride take over for the worse. Creon also realizes that it was his fault Haimon dies. He would not listen to Haimon and take his advice. Creon almost seemed like he wanted Haimon to be angry so he put Antigone in the vault. He couldn’t see that Haimon was in love and Antigone was just trying to honor the dead because of his hubris. Creon also says, “My own blind heart has brought me from darkness to final darkness.” This shows he knows he didn’t use his brain top solve his problems. He was already heading the wrong direction with his pride and it finally was too much. Creon’s hubris has not let him effectively deal with his conflicts.
Creon goes through all the phases of a tragic character. His hubris doesn’t effectively let him deal with his problems. Teiresias’s prophecy is the peripeteia and Creon finds out things won’t go the way he planned. Finally, Creon has his anagnorisis and realizes that his hubris has brought his downfall. Creon is truly the tragic character in “Antigone”.
