Though the Empire State Building is famous for its height, it is also known for something else—its Tower Lights. The building's

top 14 floors are actually a 200-foot tower, complete with lights capable of producing an array of colors. Beginning with a single searchlight beacon in November 1932, which announced that Franklin Roosevelt had become president, the lights have changed much over the years. Now, several hundred fluorescent tubes make much more possible. With the flip of a switch, the tower's white lights can be changed to honor special people and events. For example, in 1976, the Tower Lights were changed to red, white, and blue; this was to honor the country's bicentennial. When the Yankees won the 1977 World Series, blue and white lights flashed. On September 24, 2009, red lights were used to mark the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. The lights glowed green on Earth Day 2010. Over the years, the Empire State Building has had countless visitors. Prince Charles, the King of Siam, schoolchildren, tourists, and many others have come to New York City to admire it. However, for many people, the simple act of changing the lights inspires just as much awe as the building's soaring height and stunning views. Notes 1. The Empire State Building is known for its height. 2. The colors of the Tower Lights can be changed. 3. In 1976, the Tower Lights were red, white, and blue. 4. Prince Charles has visited the Empire State Building. Which of the following subjects is the main topic of this passage? A. the lighting displays of the Empire State Building B. the soaring height of the Empire State Building C. Roosevelt's connection to the Empire State Building D. people who have visited the Empire State Building

Answer:

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

Explanation:

On several occasions Room 40 received an unexpected but welcome gift when a German codebook was recovered after a sea battle and presented to the British code breakers. One such gift was a codebook from the German ship Magdeburg, a light cruiser that ran aground on an island off of Finland. When Russian ships quickly bore down on the cruiser, the captain of the stranded ship immediately did what all naval officers were taught to do: he ordered his signalman to bring him the ship's codebook so he could throw the book, wrapped in lead covers, into the sea. But before the signalman could deliver the book to his captain, he was killed by Russian guns. When the Russians recovered his body, the sailor was still clutching the codebook in his arms.

When he reaches the top of Mount Everest, why is Krakauer in a hurry to start<br> back down?
satela [25.4K]

<u>Answer</u>:

Oxygen supply become alarmingly low.  This is why Krakauer is in a hurry to start back down when he reaches the top of Mount Everest.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Into Thin Air” by “Jon Krakauer” is story about the author who climbed Mt. Everest. He saw the amazing view of Tibet below him, but he was not able to appreciate it. He was feeling weak and cold. Jon was constantly coughing, and all this was the result of extremely low levels of oxygen due to which his brain was also not working properly.

That’s why he asked “Andy Harris” to conserve the oxygen, but Harris opened the flow of the oxygen. Though he felt a lot better after the oxygen supply, but soon he realized that he would have to go down without oxygen to reach South Summit where another oxygen tank was kept.
