Answer: A) It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

This excerpt describes the experiences of a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The paradox in the passage, however, is the fact that the soldier describes this experience as an adventurous expedition. Besides the fact that the statement is odd, it shows the misconceptions that people have about war, and the difficulty in understanding the reality of it.

In Astrophysicists Chronicles of Pluto what reason does dr tyson give for excluding Pluto from the museum exhibit?
allsm [11]

Dr Tyson excluded Pluto from the American Museum of National History exhibit because it is considered an icy body and not a planet.

Originally, he identified Pluto as a comet from the Kuiper Belt of Comets, since its composition its mostly ice, and stated that if it came near the sun it would evaporate and grow a tail, an uncommon behavior for a planet.

Eventually, in the 1990s, icy bodies were found in the outer solar system, and the similarity between Pluto and them was evident. The conclusion was that both are made of ice, have similar strange orbits, and cross the orbit of other planets.
