Answer:
B. A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an overdependence on technology suppresses creative thought.
Explanation:
The book "The Machine Stops" is about a future where machines are in charge of every facet of human life.
Two characters in the book Vashti and her son Kuno who are inhabitants of this new world. Kuno somehow manages to get to the surface outside of the influence of the machines and he tells his mother how the surface is and how the machines can't rule them forever.
As the novel goes on, there are different instances of where over-reliance on the machines limits creative thought because the machine does everything for them. There was a case study of a man that did not know how to pick a book that had fallen from his hands because there was no nearby machine to do it for him.

Read the excerpt from "The New Marvel in Photography" by H. J. W. Dam.
In all the history of scientific discovery there has never been, perhaps, so general, rapid, and dramatic an effect wrought on the scientific centres of Europe as has followed, in the past four weeks, upon an announcement made to the Würzburg Physico-Medical Society, at their December meeting, by Professor William Konrad Röntgen, professor of physics at the Royal University of Würzburg. The first news which reached London was by telegraph from Vienna to the effect that a Professor Röntgen, until then the possessor of only a local fame in the town mentioned, had discovered a new kind of light, which penetrated and photographed through everything. This news was received with a mild interest, some amusement, and much incredulity; and a week passed. Then, by mail and telegraph, came daily clear indications of the stir which the discovery was making in all the great line of universities between Vienna and Berlin. Then Röntgen's own report arrived, so cool, so business-like, and so truly scientific in character, that it left no doubt either of the truth or of the great importance of the preceding reports. . . .
Exactly what kind of a force Professor Röntgen has discovered he does not know. As will be seen below, he declines to call it a new kind of light, or a new form of electricity. He has given it the name of the X rays.

Answer:
this got me a 100%
Explanation:
By the late 1970s the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's examinations indicated that Penn Square Bank was overextended. When oil prices dropped in 1981, the situation quickly turned desperate. Depositors withdrew $50 million in May 1982, and by July examiners knew the bank could not survive. They spent the Fourth of July weekend setting up the closure of Penn Square and forming a new bank so that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) could pay the $207 million that was due to insured depositors. Uninsured deposits of $163 million were not paid.
The oil loan shares caused problems for numerous other banks and precipitated a crisis in the entire banking system.
Write an essay explaining your feelings on the gender pay gap.
My feelings on the gender pay gap are surprising and it is unequal. I feel like women and men should be payed the Same amount of money especially if they're in the Same field of working. Both genders work just as hard in their job as everyone else and being payed equally means the same amount of success, everyone deserves to be happy so why not be payed equally? why not have the same pay as everyone else? it shouldn't matter about the gender to be honest, it should depend on the career you choose and how much work you put into it. Imagine being a woman working day and night as a certified doctor and you get less pay as a man working day and night as a certified doctor and they both work just as hard,they both work the same shifts and work just as hard as each other and you realise your getting payed lower just because of your gender. Keep that in mind. Those are my feelings on the gender pay gap.
How would the author of the Blast “True to Yourself” respond to the character of Stargirl? Use evidence from “True to Yourself” and the Stargirl excerpt in your response. Answer in the ACE format!
Answer:
Stargirl is the most "manic pixie dream girl" who ever pixie-dreamgirl-ed. She's practically the prototype. She's the Alpha and Omega of the cliche, coined by critic Nathan Rabin in his review of 2005's "Elizabethtown." Stargirl dresses eccentrically, she carries around a ukulele, and her pet rat lives in her knapsack. She drifts above the rituals and pressures of high school, communing on a higher and much wiser plane. She exists in order to change the lives of others for the better. As seen through the eyes of Leo, a shy kid who only wants to fit in, she is nothing less than a Magical Creature. He believes she can actually make it rain. And maybe she can. There's something uncanny about Stargirl.

Read the opening lines of a poem. A message darts across the screen As I read it, I grin Which lines best conclude the idea of the poem in a logical order? Because the words do not make sense But I read it again But I read it again Because the words do not make sense And I can’t hold it in Because kind words bring happiness Because kind words bring happiness And I can’t hold it in
Answer:
Because kind words bring happiness
Explanation:
A logical order, within a text, refers to the ability of words to show that one situation is so linked to another, that when one happens, the other, logically, happens as a result. This can be seen in the question above, through the line "Because kind words bring happiness." That's because kindness and happiness are very connected, so if someone uses kindness when speaking, logically, it causes happiness in those who heard and in those who spoke.
Answer:
D, Because kind words bring happiness And I can’t hold it in

characteristics of a totalitarian
Answer:
The seven features of totalitarian state are as follows: 1. As against liberal-democratic faith in reason, totalitarianism glorifies instincts and emotions. It is anti-intellectual and appeals to instinct and will which, according to it are the motive force of human actions.
Explanation:
What is the effect of the story's point of view? a first-person narrator like Mrs. Mallard can demonstrate how her opinion changes with her observations. a first-person narrator allows the reader to experience the emotions and feelings Mrs. Mallard is feeling. a third-person omniscient narrator can guide readers through Mrs. Mallard's changing emotions by describing her transition. a third-person limited narrator allows readers to observe only the outward physical response of Mrs. Mallard as she reacts to the events of the story.
Answer:
A third-person omniscient narrator can guide readers through Mrs. Mallard's changing emotions by describing her transition.
Explanation:
A third-person omniscient narrator/ narrative voice is the point of view from an uninvolved character narrating the sequence of the story. This point of view allows the narrator to present the characters and their feelings without being a part of the story.
In Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour", the third person omniscient narrator gives us access to the feelings and emotions of Mrs. Mallard. At the same time, we are also guided through her changing emotions and transitions.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

The Author creates a tone of regret in the poem "On Turning Ten." Which Line best demonstrates the tone of regret. Select all that apply.
1) "Disfiguring chicken pox of the soul" ***
2) "The perfect simplicity of being one"
3) "But now I am mostly at the window"
4) "You tell me it is too early to be looking back" ***
I am very sure about four being correct, although I am unsure about my other answer.
The poem if needed:
On Turning Ten (Billy Collins).
The whole Idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache.
Or the headaches I get from reading in bad light-
a kind of measles to the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.
You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a solider, at nine a prince.
But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly
I'm going to cut the poem off there.
-Thank you for the help.
