Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

How do paragraph one and paragraph two work together to present the author's ideas?
Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation. Paragraph two shows the results.
Paragraph one offers a solution. Paragraph two explains a problem the solution creates.
Paragraph one presents facts. Paragraph two presents additional facts on the same topic.
Paragraph one and paragraph two do not have a clear connection to each other.

The correct answer would be option A. "Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation and Paragraph two shows the results". This is because in the first paragraph the author is letting you know about an event that no one knew the reason for its appearance (so it is a cause for investigation) and in the second paragraph the author explains the results of the research conducted to explain said event. Option B is not correct because the first paragraph would be the problem and the second paragraph would be the solution. Option C is not correct either because the second paragraph is more than facts, it is answers. And finally, Option D is not correct because there is a clear connection between both paragraphs (since they are about the same subject).

Answer:

The author's ideas are present through these paragraphs as first Paragraph explains the cause of investigation and second Paragraph shows the results.

Explanation:

The cause of investigation is presented in paragraph one. The author takes its reader to the day when the skies over New England turned dark. And to know the reason behind this phenomenon the researchers examined trees and found out that savage flames created by the wildfires near Ontario caused this thick blanket of smoke in the skies of New England.

What is an objective summary of the events in Act 1, Scene 1 in Shakespeare's play Richard 111?
REY [17]
Richard gives a short speech detailing his plot against his brother Clarence, who comes before him as heir to the throne of England. Richard has just succeeded in having Clarence arrested and it as a prisoner that Clarence walks onto the stage, guarded by Sir Robert Brackenbury.

Richard asks Clarence what the reason for his arrest is. Clarence replies that someone told King Edward that a person with a name starting with the letter "G" would cause his family to lose the throne. Since Clarence's full name is George, Duke of Clarence, he was considered to be the primary suspect. Richard complains that this arrest is the result of the women plotting against Clarence, most notably Queen Elizabeth and possibly also Mrs. Shore.

Brackenbury tells the men he is not allowed to let anyone converse with the prisoner, and takes Clarence into the Tower of London. Richard comments that he will soon remove Clarence permanently and thus clear the path to the throne for himself.

Lord Hastings, also known as Lord Chamberlain, emerges from the Tower, having just been freed. Lord Hastings tells Richard that King Edward IV is sickly and ailing, and cannot hope to live much longer. After he departs, Richard remarks that he will first have Edward kill Clarence. This will put Richard into a position where upon Edward's death he can assume the throne. He also plots to marry Lady Anne Neville, who is the widow of Edward, Prince of Wales and the daughter-in-law of Henry VI, whom Richard just killed.

Select the best analogy
EleoNora [17]
Well, because the word 'mother' is the English translation of the Latin word 'mater', they mean the same thing. So, I am assuming we are supposed to find two words which have the same etymology like this one, to complete the analogy. So, I believe the answer is A) autonomy : autos, because 'autos' is the root of the word 'autonomy', the same way 'mater' is for 'mother'.
