<span>If these were the missing choices: 

A. The first train consisted of thirty-four cars weighing, all told, ninety tons.
B. Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel.
C. The idea of using steam for driving stationary machinery originated in the early centuries.
D. Watt made it a quick, powerful, and efficient engine, requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before.

My answer is D. WATT MADE IT A QUICK, POWERFUL, AND EFFICIENT ENGINE, REQUIRING ONLY A FOURTH AS MUCH FUEL AS BEFORE.

Though the passage is not given, I chose option D because it gives the benefit that others experienced from Watt's contribution.</span>

Exhibit : display :: send :_______?<br> a. show<br> b. emit<br> c. receive<br> d. stamp
Setler [38]

B. Emit


The first thing to do for questions like these is determine the relationship the first two words have with each other. Because “exhibit” and “display” both mean “to show,” they are synonyms. As such, the word pairing with “send” should be its synonym. One possible meaning for “send” is “transmit.” As such, the word in the options that means “transmit” is “emit,” which is the correct response.

Explanation: Danger is defined as the possibility of suffering harm or injury.

To say that something is "good" or "strong" is not _____.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

b. objective

Explanation:

To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement.  So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.

It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.

Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population.  For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others.  But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.
