Why was switching from chains to cables in the building of roller coasters important?

Switching from chains to cables in the building of roller coasters was important because cables are less likely to snap when hauling several tons of roller coaster cars full of people. Chains are made of linked, welded pieces of metal that can easily snap if they pull too much. Cables, while they can snap, are much less likely to do so, because they're a stretch of fibers, be it metal or other, without any potential weak spots.

In terms of pursuing a higher education, the six questions to evaluate a source’s reliability discuss which outlets of information are credible, and which ones are not. To apply the six questions into finding sources in pursuing higher education, I would make sure to have a reputable publisher (such as a university), an author with good credentials (such as a person holding a doctorate in the area they are discussing), an unbiased publisher (such as an outlet of objectivity rather than subjectivity), a currently-dated article (keeping the information up-to-date), information that has citations and evidence to back up their statements (such as a scientific method experiment), and lastly, information regarding a common issue or dilemma that is also being discussed by other sources of information (such as political debates or environmental issues). A couple of examples of reliable and credible sources of information regarding higher education would be the articles discussing amount of debt the average college student holds, articles discussing the average graduation rate of 4-year university students, articles discussing the hot-button issue of global warming and how it is a threat to future civilizations, articles discussing the amount of students to have reportedly participated in plagiarism and cheating, and articles discussing how college professors are underpaid and exploited.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

C. The people felt relief at the end of their journey.

Explanation:

In this context, the sentence in quotation marks means that the people who had just endured a long and dangerous trip across the ocean felt relieved that their travels were over and that they were able to stand on solid ground once again. The sentence is, indeed, a simile, in which something, stepping foot on solid ground, is likened to something else, in this case, breathing fresh air.
