Excerpt from Thermometer Pills--Tracy Wilson Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical con

dition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body’s internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it’s too late. To make matters worse, children’s bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill. Answer the following question related to the excerpt from from Thermometer Pills: Which statement provides the most concrete supporting evidence for the author's argument that heatstroke can be very dangerous to younger athletes?
A) On average the cost is $50.00 per pill.

B) While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive.

C) The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature.

D) Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke.

lubasha [3.4K]
An example of an arch is a curved opening in a doorway. In order to remain intact, the two halves of the arch need to have an equal amount of tension between them at all times so it doesn't collapse. This is the meaning of the proverb, an arch never sleeps.

Erin is writing about the history of sonnets. Which is a fact Erin can include in her history?
photoshop1234 [79]

The correct answer is C. Sonnets were invented in Italy before Shakespeare’s time.


Although Shakespeare did write a lot of sonnets, he wasn't the one who actually invented them. The person credited with 'inventing' the first sonnet is Giacomo da Lentini, in 13th century, way before Shakespeare was even born (in 16th century). Shakespeare did invent his own personal form of a sonnet, but not the sonnet as a genre.
