The National Science Foundation has a new tool to gather information about severe weather. The tool is called a DOW (Doppler on

Wheels). (1) _______ The truck actually looks like something out of a science fiction movie. It has a huge satellite dish mounted on the back. Scientists use DOWs to track severe storms, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and snowstorms. The mobility of these trucks allows scientists to get close and personal with a storm. This technology gives scientists an advantage that they did not have in the past. (2) _______ For example, while scouting a severe storm on the Wyoming prairie, a DOW team spotted a cell that was just beginning to form a tornado. They stopped the truck to note the increases in wind shear and moisture, two sure signs of possible tornado development. Once the tornado did form, they moved to higher ground to continue tracking the storm. (3) _______

Answer:

D. A DOW is a truck with scientific equipment mounted on the back of it.

Explanation:

Now, in order to answer correctly, we need to take a look at the sentence before and the sentence after this blank.

The sentence before introduces us to this new tool, its name and abbreviation.

The sentence after gives us short insight on the look of the truck.

Since this truck isn't mentioned anywhere before in the text, we can safely presume that the best fitting logical connection between these two sentences is the one which explains that this new tool is actually a truck, which is the answer D.

What happened during the Great Leap Forward?
viktelen [127]
<span>During the Great Leap Forward, Mao tried to produce more grain and iron among other resources, but instead, he primarily ended up with a lot more dead bodies and a forever tainted legacy.I think it is important to analyze the motivation behind the Great Leap Forward in order to gain a better understanding as to what exactly happened during the time period.The most basic theory could be that Mao was truly trying to improve the state of China.At this time, China was definitely lagging behind most European nations and America while historically, China was far ahead of these nations (think Tang Dynasty).
One key factor that drove Western nations ahead of China was industrialization.
Mao probably knew this, and it was definitely logical to think that China needed to industrialize in order to reach greater heights. In fact, the Great Leap Forward can be seen as one giant attempt to industrialize.Another idea is that the Great Leap Forward was Mao’s plan to cement his own power.On the surface level, if the Great Leap Forward succeeded, the Chinese people would view Mao as a national hero, bringing China back onto the forefront of the world stage.
But even if the Great Leap Forward didn’t succeed in its economic ambitions, it would have strengthened the sense of Chinese national identity.
The Great Leap Forward mobilized almost all of China towards one common goal, and arguably for the first time, people living in rural areas were incorporated substantially in a national policy.
This focus on people living in rural areas, which was the vast majority of China during the time of the Great Leap Forward, gave Mao their approval. <span>The motivation behind the Great Leap Forward is a topic of debate, but the result of the Great Leap Forward is not really shrouded in mystery.
</span><span>Tens of millions of people died and the Chinese economy shrunk considerably due to failed enactment of Mao’s ideas (people should have realized sooner that melting cooking pots was not a great source of metal and over farming lands led to rotting crops, not more crops).</span><span> Many people speak of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Chinese Famine as two separate events, with one causing the other, but I think that the two terms should really be synonyms.</span>But if I would've choose one of these answers, I would say C. Hoped I helped!

Why does raymond think that children like scout and dill can understand his secret better than adults?
Nady [450]
Mr. Raymond thinks this, because Scout and Dill have not yet been alive long enough to become corrupted and hateful. The adults in Maycomb have built up years of gossip and prejudices, but Raymond sees young children such as Scout and Dill as a type of clean slate, who can still be educated about the way others live, and can understand things differently than the others in town.

Select the sentence which contains an independent clause and a subordinate clause. A) After the ceasefire was declared, the sold
miskamm [114]

Answer: A) After the ceasefire was declared, the soldiers were allowed to go home.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought. It can stand on its own and still make sense. The independent clause in this example is "the soldiers were allowed to go home."

A subordinate clause, on the other hand, is a clause that does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone, because it has no meaning if not joined to an independent clause. "After the ceasefire was declared" is a subordinate clause.

All the other options contain two independent clauses - in option B, they are connected with a semicolon; in option C, with a conjunction "so"; in option D, with a comma and a conjunction "and."

What is the tone to “Be Glad Your Nose is On Your Face”.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:
