Read the passage. [Franklin wants his descendants to know about their ancestor. His list of virtues is important to him. In fact

, he says he owes the constant happiness in his life to it. He is now seventy-nine years old. He owes his good health to Temperance. He owes his fortune to Industry and Frugality. To Sincerity and Justice, he owes the confidence his country has in him.] . . . and to the joint influence of the whole mass of the virtues, even in the imperfect state he was able to acquire them, all that evenness of temper, and that cheerfulness in conversation, which makes his company still sought for, and agreeable even to his younger acquaintance. I hope, therefore, that some of my descendants may follow the example and reap the benefit. At the end of The Autobiography, what consolation does Benjamin Franklin offer himself when he realizes that he will never be perfect?

At the end of The Autobiography, Benjamin Franklin realized that he will never be perfect. He wrote that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance. He also realized that though he will never be perfect, he became happier as he lived his live according to his virtues and that is what he wanted for his descendants to have -- to live a virtuous and happy life.

Contact [7]
These are some examples of famous inventions that really improved our quality of life. Hope you find them useful!

1. Light bulbs
This invention allows us to see and work in the dark. Long ago before lights are invented, we cannot do much during night time, even if you light up a candle, it won't last long and they may catch other things on fire. Light bulbs can be used for a long time, and they're a lot safer and there's a lot more we can do in our lives in nighttime nowadays. Even though yes LEDs are taking over, but before LED is invented, light bulbs are certainly important. 

2. Steam Trains
This improves the transportation. Before steam trains are invented, people usually travel either by walking or they ride animals such as horses. Steam trains can give us a fast way to go to another location.

3. Radio
Radio gives us a simple and fast way to send messages and spread information to far locations. This is very useful especially back then, where people can spread information during wars or other emergency situations. We can contact others faster.

I believe the correct answer: is it suggests that one opponent is much smaller than the other.

 

In this excerpt from the newspaper "A David and Goliath Battle Rages Over Sunshine Park", the mentioning the David and Goliath suggest that one of the opponents in much smaller than the other. This Biblical parallel alludes that even If regarded as the “small opponent”, Chelsea Spree has an opportunity to win, just as David had.

2. a. mentally disadvantaged

3. b. the misspellings

4. D. useless

Explanation:

"Flowers for Algernon" tells the story of Charlie, a man who has a problem that leaves him mentally disadvantaged. This problem is a type of disability that leaves Charli mentally inferior to a healthy adult. Charlie's problem is so serious that initially the inkblot tests he was submitted were inconclusive and did not provide any help to his case.

Cahrlie's story is told from his diaries and we can see his difficulty through the numerous spelling mistakes he writes. However, Charlie undergoes surgery and treatment that stimulates improvements in his situation and little by little we see Charlie's writing getting more correct and refined showing that his intellectual capacity is progressing.
