Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.


A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

When researchers at the University of Missouri began examining trees in surrounding areas, fire damage in a Canadian forest revealed that huge wildfires in the mountains near Ontario darkened the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

The student's sentence does not include enough information from the paragraph.
The student's sentence leaves out too many important details from the paragraph.
The student's sentence perfectly and properly captures the main idea of the paragraph.
The student's sentence shows the main idea but does not paraphrase the author's words.

Why would in the text in the Odyssey elpenor or be labeled as part of the road of Trials
strojnjashka [21]
<span>Because it was a trial. Elpenor was drunk when Odysseus and his crew were finally leaving Circe’s island. He was climbing down from her roof when he slipped from a ladder and broke his neck. In the commotion, no one noticed his accident. Later, when Odysseus visits Hades to get advice on how to return home from the ghost of Tiresias, he is shocked to encounter the shade of Elpenor. He hadn’t even realized he was missing, let alone dead. Elpenor begs Odysseus to return and to give him an honorable burial. So now Odysseus is forced to sail all the way back to Circe’s island to fulfill this new obligation. It becomes one more task that he must accomplish before he can return home to Ithaca—otherwise known as a trial.</span>

Hi, hoping u're okay :) I'm French, can you check my faults please ;
Fed [463]

Answer:

Good evening!

First, I would like to thank the organisers(organizers) of(for) this wonderful evening, also you for your presence and interest.

Though, who would be disinterested? Who has not fantasized about coming one day face to face with a Martian? Well, tonight, your dream has come true! Except you may be disappointed this incredible adventure did not turn us into little green creatures ...

Humans’ quest has always been to go faster, to go farther (comma) and to conquer new territories. Our history bears so many extraordinary examples of what we have been able to achieve, including going to the Moon! Yet, going to Mars seemed to be the ultimate unreachable goal. It was tiring, yes, to survive in off-terrestrial conditions. And without my experiences in space, I would not be able to walk right now. I am obviously standing hard …

But this priceless journey has given our nation an invaluable title! As the commander of Ares 1, I cannot begin to tell you how honored to have been part of it and how pride(proud) I am to have planted the flag of our dear America on Mars!

Thank you.
