Answer:

The correct answer is B. Pluto was formally downgraded from planet to dwarf planet after a vote by the International Astronomical Union.

Explanation:

Pluto was discovered on February 18, 1930 by American astronomer Clyde William Tombaugh from the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, and was considered the ninth and smallest planet in the solar system by the International Astronomical Union and public opinion since then until 2006, although its membership in the group of planets in the solar system was always the subject of controversy among astronomers.

After an intense debate, and with the proposal of Uruguayan astronomers Julio Angel Fernandez and Gonzalo Tancredi before the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Prague, Czech Republic, it was unanimously decided to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, requiring that a planet must have orbital dominance. Since September 7, 2006, it has the number 134340, granted by the Center for Minor Planets.

In what way does Bradbury compare Mildred and her friends to a character from Lewis Carroll’s famous book Alice in Wonderland? A
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C. He says their faces have Cheshire cat smiles.

Explanation:

Bradbury compared Mildred and her friends to Cheshire cat, a character in Lewis Carroll's  famous book "Alice in wonderland." when he said "They were like a monstrous crystal chandelier tingling in a thousand chimes, he saw their <em>cheshire cat smiles burning through the walls of the house,</em> and now they were screaming at each other above the din."

Mildred and her friends Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowels are shallow creatures in Fahrenheit 451, who are a good example of how ignorance can make someone narrow minded. they were screaming at each other meaning that the Cheshire cat smile shows that they are unhappy. each of then tries to out compliment each other.

The famous cat is popular for it's 'grin'. which can be seen as mad or sarcastic. therefore Mildred and her Friends were said to be having Cheshire cat smiles because their smiles were not real. meaning that for them to be compared to Cheshire cat shows that they are mad or sarcastic.
