Which line in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's “Report on the Barnhouse Effect” indicates that the story is an example of socia

l sci-fi?
"If all I could do was make inkwells dance, I'd be tickled silly with the whole business." He shrugged disconsolately. "But I'm no toy, my boy. If you like, we can drive around the neighborhood, and I'll show you what I mean." He told me about pulverized boulders, shattered oaks, and abandoned farm buildings demolished within a fifty-mile radius of the campus. "Did every bit of it sitting right here, just thinking—not even thinking hard."

He scratched his head nervously. "I have never dared to concentrate as hard as I can for fear of the damage I might do. I’m to the point where a mere whim is a blockbuster." There was a depressing pause. "Up until a few days ago, I’ve thought it best to keep my secret for fear of what it might be put to," he continued. "Now I realize that I haven’t any more right to it than a man has a right to own an atomic bomb."

He fumbled through a heap of papers. "This says about all that needs to be said, I think." He handed me a draft of a letter to the Secretary of State.

Choose the best topic sentence for the following example paragraph.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D - Although I have a lot of friends, there are only a few people at

school who have really seen the true me.​

Explanation:

This sentence best summarizes the work ahead, introducing the idea that he will discuss his friends, and the few people who have seen his true self. A makes sense for the subject, but introduces the topic too early for it to make sense. B makes an unrelated point, and would not work as a topic sentence but as an end point. C... I honestly don't know what this option says.

Read the sentence.
gregori [183]

Answer:

<u>of</u>

Explanation:

A preposition is a function word that usually precedes a noun or pronoun and that shows a relationship between that noun or pronoun and other words. There are many prepositions, some of them include <em>of, up, after, before, until, at, for, after </em>and<em> on.</em>

In the sentence, "of" is a preposition because it shows a relationship between the noun "the spirit" with the noun "invention". The other words, on the other hand, are not prepositions: "forever" is an adverb, and "but" and "and" are conjunctions.
