Which five words are nonsense words in this excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Tra

veling from Philadelphia to Medicine Rock"?
It was easy enough for the rabbit who has long ears and no tail at all except a white thumb of cotton. But it was hard for the yellow flongboo who at night lights up his house in a hollow tree with his fire yellow torch of a tail. It is hard for the yellow flongboo to lose his tail because it lights up his way when he sneaks at night on the prairie, sneaking up on the flangwayers, the hippers and hangjasts, so good to eat.

Answer:

The correct answers are flongboo, flongboo, flangwayers, hippers, hangjasts.

Carl Sandburg was an American poet and journalist who was awarde the Pulitzer Prize three times. At his time, he was considered one of the most important figures in literature.

A nonsense word is defined as one that has no conventionally accepted meaning or definition. These words work in very specific contexts and their meaning could be deducted from the context. Even though readers can understand the meaning of the excertp, the indicated words don't have a standard meaning or definition.

Argue for or against the limitation of speed limits.

Since this is an opinion question you can take it either way.

Pros:
 - lower speed may cause lower speed accidents, which are less deadly         than their high speed alternatives
 - lower speed could potentially allow people to get lost less often because        they are able to navigate and respond earlier
 <span>- gas savings from optimal operating conditions                                            (between 88.5 - 96.5 km/h [55-60 mph])</span>

Cons:
 - longer commute times
 - less enjoyable (if you enjoy driving fast)
 - may contribute to overall congestion and increase in accidents as              people spend more time on average on the roads

Either way, support our opinion and you'll be right.
