A student is writing a paragraph about "Broken Chain" that makes the point that Alfonso’s conflict in the story is mainly an int

ernal one. What would be the best illustration of this point? He hates the way he looks and spends hours “trying to herd his teeth into place with his thumb.” He decides against dyeing his hair because he knows his mother “wouldn’t go for it” and his father would call him a “sissy.” He races down the street on his bike “as cool as he could be” with his hands “stuffed into his pockets.” He feels his “stomach knot up” and threatens to run Ernie over with his bike when they talk about Sandra.

What effect did the explosion of the Columbia space shuttle have on the hubble space telescope​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The accident of the Columbia space shuttle made the repairs to the Hubble microscope uncertain, as well as the future of this telescope.

Explanation:

The Hubble telescope was a major scientific breakthrough, both in terms of its creation and its launch. It has been in space for over thirty years and there is no date for its shutdown.

This telescope needs maintenance in order to function effectively, however this maintenance has not been done for some time and it is uncertain when it will happen. This uncertainty is an effect that the Columbia space shuttle accident caused. That's because Columbia was responsible for maintaining Hubble, but it exploded when it returned to Earth, killing the entire crew. This made the telescope's repairs uncertain, expensive and dangerous, discouraging its execution.

Nadya [2.5K]
BECAUSE PAIN IS THE #1 WAY TO KEEP THE ATTENTION OF PUNY BRAINED BOOKWORMS.

When your heart starts bleeding because you are ridiculously emotionally engaged in a fictional story…you know you care. OH GRAPE. YOU SURE DO CARE. And the best way to show you care is to ache and worry and fret over something.
