25 PTS TO WHO ANSWERS Read the excerpt from a personal essay. What is the purpose of the allusion to the story of Cinderella? As

my principal, Mr. Howard, read the names of the scholarship recipients, I held my breath in anticipation. I wanted to hear my name called and the cheers from the audience. However, my name never passed through Mr. Howard's lips. When the last name was read, I felt numb. The hours that I spent writing the scholarship essay felt wasted. I finally had the sinking realization that I would never be Cinderella and that fairy godmothers do not exist. Without that scholarship, accomplishing my dreams would be incredibly difficult.
A. to emphasize how different the narrator's life is from a fairy tale

B. to show how the narrator admires the story of Cinderella

Answer:

The purpose of the allusion to the story of <em>Cinderella</em> is <em>to emphasize how different the narrator's life is from a fairy tale.</em> <u>The correct answer is A.</u>

Explanation:

What the speaker is trying to do here, by comparing his/her life with <em>Cinderella</em>, is to make a difference between real life, where everything can happen, even bad things, and fairy tales, where everything works out just fine in the end. His/her life, the real life has obstacles, and the speaker feels disappointed for not winning the scholarship, that scholarship would've helped a lot in accomplishing his/her dreams. He/she will probably still be able to do it, but he/she just feels disappointed and thinks won't have the chance, but with hard work, he/she will. <em>The idea of the allusion to the story of Cinderella is to emphasize the differences between real life, and fairy tales, where everything is magical and happen even without working on it</em>, just with the help from a fairy everything turns out the way we desire. In real life, this doesn't always happen, and if it does happen it happens with our help and hard work. We just don't have to give up.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

OD

Explanation:

OA: A web site could be useful for a quick answer but not a very accurate one. Especially since these people arent certified in food.

OB: A book sounds like a very credible place to look for answers but this book is more about personal experiences in diets and isn't certified in food.

OC: An article sounds like a very credible source but is from a person who studied food related problems, meaning that what they have studied isnt as official as an actual certified worker in food.

OD: The most credible source for Ray to choose would be a book on gluten-free diets by an author who has two degrees in nutrition and works at the University of Rockingham.

Answer:

Scientific advancement is the generation of information or the discovery of knowledge that advances the understanding of scientific relations or technology.

Explanation:

Science is neither boon nor curse. The man has progressed through science and technology. Science made impossible things possible.

Advantages of Scientific advancement:

Over the past 20 years, technology has taken a big leap. We have radically changed our way of life and our customs, having more and more sophisticated and discoveries that have occurred especially in electronics. Many of these innovations, applied to medical science, they are useful for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.  

Science and technology should always be considered as few of  human achievements that are very helpful to humanity to be effective. Few of them are as follows:

  • Detection of Gravitational Waves. ...
  • Evidence of Water on Mars. ...
  • Robotic Body Parts. ...
  • T. Rex Tissue. ...
  • Advancement in HIV Cure. ...
  • Existence of Dark Matter. ...
  • Sequencing Genome of Cancer Patient. ...
  • Creation of Human Organs.

Disadvantages of scientific advancement:

But just as obvious, are the downsides of this. Do not forget that this technology is also used in wasting excessive resources, to possess weapons increasingly technological, and of course in order to kill other people.

Increased dependency on modern tools like calculators and spell checkers has reduced our creativity and intelligence. The negative impact of the influence of technology on children should not be underestimated. Science is responsible for pollution and has given us the nuclear bomb which threatens our existence. But in this also fault lies not with science, but rather with mans intention to misuse the discoveries of science. Science is not inherently good or evil. It is a way to acquire knowledge systematically. It depend on us how we use it.
