Answer: I heard the pop and hiss of eggs in a pan coming from the kitchen.

As I sped up, the pavement under my feet offered less and less resistance until I felt like I was flying.

Explanation:

While writing, the author must think of the ways to keep the readers interested. In order to do so, writers use words that appeal to the readers' emotions.

In this case, the second and last option include descriptions and sensory details which make the image described even more vivid. Such descriptions are: 'pop', 'hiss', 'sped up', 'pavement under my feet', 'felt', etc.

A van moves with a constant speed of 76 miles per hour. How far can it travel<br>in 2 1/2 hours?
Julli [10]
190 miles per hour is the answer. If you add 76 plus 76 twice you end up with 152, now it said  2 and a "1/2" hours so you would divde 76 by 2, and end up getting 38. Add 38 to your 152, and you get 190 miles per hour
