Answer:

this is the passage

Explanation:

The “Big Dig”

The “Big Dig” (the Central Artery/Tunnel Project) has been complex and challenging. Located in Boston, Massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. What is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in Boston’s financial district.

Construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. These machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. Finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in.

One problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath Boston is extremely loose and soggy. Engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. To strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to help with the consolidation of the soil.

Which is the climax of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass? Douglass marries Anna, a free black woman. Douglass decides
Anna11 [10]

RISING ACTION  · At the age of ten or eleven, Douglass is sent to live in Baltimore with Hugh and Sophia Auld. Douglass overhears a conversation between them and comes to understand that whites maintain power over black slaves by keeping them uneducated. Douglass resolves to educate himself and escape from slavery. However, he is later taken from the Aulds and placed with Edward Covey, a slave “breaker,” for a year. Under Covey’s brutal treatment, Douglass loses his desire to learn and escape.

<span>CLIMAX </span> · Douglass decides to fight back against Covey’s brutal beatings. The shocked Covey does not whip Douglass ever again.

<span>FALLING ACTION </span> · Douglass is hired to William Freeland, a relatively kinder master. Douglass starts educating his fellow slaves and planning his escape. Douglass’s plan to escape is discovered. He is put in jail and then sent back to Baltimore with the Aulds to learn a trade. Douglass becomes a caulker and is eventually allowed to hire out his own time. Douglass saves money and escapes to New York City, where he marries Anna Murray, a free black woman from Baltimore. They move to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where Douglass is eventually hired as a lecturer for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Hope that helps :)
