Let us assume that the cubes are numbered from 1 to 6 in their six faces.



When these two cubes are rolled, the possible values could be,



(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)



(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)



(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)



(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)



(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)



(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)



Total possibilities are 36.



Now the sum of the numbers are either 4 or 10. Those numbers are



(1,3) (2,2) (3,1) -> this sums to 6



(4,6) (5,5) (6,4) -> this sums to 8



Total possibilities of getting sum 4 or 10 is 6.



So, the possibility of getting sum of or from a pair of rolled cubes is



6/36 = 1/6

He is saying that you need to look at Berlin if you want to see why communism has failed and the spirit of freedom has prevailed under very difficult circumstances. 

D is so horribly wrong that I have to make note of it.

The best answer is C. Thanks for posting this. I've never read this speech by Kennedy and it is a landmark of poly sci. Everyone in America should read it.

Answer:

Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised particles from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six’s science correspondent, Derwent University’s Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "It's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn’t miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. Ill is over the moon comes the dawn."
