Read this excerpt from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

English

Answer: The sentence in the paragraph that demonstrates a tone of superiority is this one: "I was better dress'd than ever while in his service, having a genteel new suit from head to foot, a watch, and my pockets lin'd with near five pounds sterling in silver."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the lines that precede this relate how Franklin, after having lived in Philadelphia for a few months and worked as a printer in the shop of Samuel Keimer, returned to Boston in April of 1724—specifically, although this is not mentioned in the passage, in order to ask his father for financial support to start his own printing business in Philadelphia. Franklin relates how, in spite of the difficult sailing conditions, they arrived safely around two weeks later. It is only at the end when he shows a tone of superiority. He describes how he was dressed when he visited his brother at his printing business, stressing that he was better dressed that day than any other day as his brother's employee, and describing the suit, the watch, and the silver that he carried with him, an appearance that seems to have bothered his brother.

What are 3 reasons why space exploration is important?
NeTakaya

Answer:

1. <u>New Technologies and Research</u>

Humans did not evolve to go into space, but we go there anyway. That has led to the development of various technologies that feed back into the economy and improve our lives on Earth. Without space programs, we wouldn’t have GPS, accurate weather prediction, solar cells, or the ultraviolet filters in sunglasses and cameras.

2. <u>Humanity's Purpose</u>

Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system.

3. <u>Long-term Survival </u>

It is only a matter of time before something happens to our planet that is so devastating that it changes the course of life as we know it. Whether the disaster is natural it is possible that our home will no longer be habitable. What happens, then, to all of the accomplishments of the last thousand generations of humans? All of our art, our music, our literature, our science, even our very genes could be wiped out. Unless, of course, there are a few humans living elsewhere in the solar system. Space exploration and colonization of the Moon and Mars are an insurance policy for humanity and all of our achievements.

Is a person’s identity defined by his/her words or actions? Take a position in which you argue that a person’s identity is defin
BabaBlast [244]

A person is defined by their actions. When an individual is silenced, action can speak volumes. The phrase "all bark, and no bite" is used for a reason; using words helps with communicating to others, but if our words and our actions do not align, our word means nothing. My cousin has a bad habit of lying whenever her mom tells her to do something. She tells her mom that she is going to clean her room, but never follows up with action. Similarly, Equality, from the novel Anthem, uses subtle actions rather than words to convey what he is thinking and feeling toward Liberty. Their conversations are far and few between, but the eye contact and small acts of affection define their relationship rather than their words, which are forcibly mechanical and empty.
