Read this excerpt from the poem "Prospect of the Future Glory of America" by John Trumbull and answer the questions that follow

in one or two sentences. To views far distant and to scenes more bright, Along the vale of Time extend thy sight, Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole, Wave following wave in long succession roll, There see, in pomp for ages without end, The glories of the Western World ascend. See, this blest land in orient morn appears, Waked from the slumber of six thousand years, While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray; To savage beasts and savage men, a prey. Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays, And peace and plenty bless the golden days. In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise, Her splendor circling to the boundless skies; Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms, The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms.

The meter of this poem is iambic pentameter.

You can tell that the meter is in iambic pentameter because each line has ten syllables and the rhythm follows the iambic patter. This means that the stress of each syllable alternates unstressed then stressed. There are five sets of iambs (a pair of syllables: unstressed then stressed) in each line.

I would love to hear of someone who impacted your life can you right a page long and show me
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

One person who has impacted my life greatly is my best friend. I know a lot of  people say that, but my story is a bit different. You see, my best friend basically saved my life. So, before i met her, I had another best friend, and at the time that girl was my ONLY friend. I have trouble making friends, so i was really grateful i had her. But the bad thing was that we were so MEAN to each other, in ways that friends should never be. We would insult each other's looks and favorite things. If one of us was going through a rough time, the other simply wouldn't care. Her and I were both guilty of it. Then, in the summer of 2018, I moved away. Her and I called every day, and we weren't as mean to each other now that we were physically apart. I ended up moving back one year later, and I immediately had to see her. I missed her so much! The day after my flight landed I went over to her house, and she was so clingy and nice, I thought we finally had a nice friendship. That was until she had her birthday party. When I was away, of course she made a couple of new friends, who she invited to her party. Now the problem isn't what it would seem to be. The problem was that her friends really liked me right away, and she got kinda jealous. It's not like we excluded her or anything, she just wasn't used to not having all of my attention. There were four people in the friend group, excluding My friend and I. Out of those people, the boy in the group is who I got along with the most because of our similar music taste. We would talk about it NON STOP. Now, there was one girl in which i barely talked to, and i didn't really have any interest in getting closer with her. We were friendly with each other, but we just didn't talk much. The more I got farmiliar with the friend group, the more distant me and the boy got, and the closer I got with that girl. I was still best friends with my best friend at the time, but she began to act like her old self: Mean. I remained nice, as I changed when I moved away, but I guess she didn't. Our friend group had it's up's and down's throughout the year. It was the end of the year, around Thanksgiving, when I got the news that my family would be moving away again. I told my friends and they were really sad. I'd just started to get really close to them,

Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black Holes?"
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

A star can live for billions of years: Option A.

Explanation:

The given excerpt clearly indicates that a star can run out of hydrogen and energy only after millions or billions of years. Only then it collapses to a little ball with gravity. This means it would live till those millions or billions of years.

'Black hole' is a region in the space which has such strong gravitational force that it pulls every object that passes through it. Albert Einstein predicted that black star would exist if a dead star also had enough gravity. Hence, "option A" is the correct one.
