Answer:

critically important

Explanation:

In this excerpt, pivotal is referring to the year 1775. The passage is saying that the year 1775 marked a turning point that was critical in the development of the American colonies.

Before 1775, the only manifestation of the massive public discontent with the abusive British tax laws had been unarmed resistance. After 1775, this struggle became an armed one and transformed in the War for Independence that would make the American colonies an independent nation free from the British crown.

<u>Answer</u>:

Using the context clue, the best definition of pivotal as it is used here is critically important. So, the right option is B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

John Buchanan’s “The Road to Valley Forge,” narrates the complete story of how Washington grew from an inexperienced Backwoods General to a true Commander-in-Chief of a fighting force. America's greatest hero is revealed through the book.

He was intelligent and courageous who struggled desperately to learn from his mistakes, who converted a diverse mix of militiamen into a real army, and who exhibited to all the Americans that they could become create their own destiny. So, 1775 was a pivotal year for the Americans because that year was a turnaround point in their lives.

Which of the following statements best summarizes a conclusion about Wilbur Wright based on his 1899 letter to the Smithsonian?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Wilbur Wright looked to nature for inspiration in his flight engineering and had done so since he was a child.

Explanation:

The Wright Brothers, the inventor of building the world's first successful airplane, wrote letters to Smithsonian Institution while they were making the human flight possible.

On May 30, 1899, Wilbur Wright wrote the letter to the institution asserting that human flight is possible. He said that he has been observing birds since his childhood and interested in mechanical and human flights. He had made bats of different sizes since childhood especially after reading the stories of Cayley's and Penaud's machines.

Wilbur has looked to birds for the techniques of gymnastics, as they are the world's perfectly trained gymnasts.

Thus the 1899 letter concludes that Wilbur has looked to nature for inspiration and has done so since his childhood.
