Read the excerpt from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity."

English
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I believe the contrast between the words serves to show:

D. The author admires the Curies' ability to do important work in poor conditions.

Explanation:

The author talks of a "dilapidated stove" that the Curies used in their lab right before mentioning the "precious and exciting load." The contrast those adjectives being used in such proximity create is great. These are the Curies we are talking about; the amazing scientists behind the discovery of radioactivity. Yet, they needed coal for their dilapidated stove. Their being able to do such important work in such poor conditions is almost impossible to not admire. That seems to be the reason why the author has created the contrast by using those adjectives. The author admires their ability and wants us to do the same.

Which sentence suggests that not all required individuals cooperate with laws regarding the use of TEDs? Answer choices for the
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

<em>Additionally, conservationists urge government officials to enforce the use of TEDs and increase monitoring to ensure compliance.</em>

Explanation:

The sentence that suggests that not all required individuals cooperate with laws regarding the use of TEDs is the third one: <em>Additionally, conservationists urge government officials to enforce the use of TEDs and increase monitoring to ensure compliance. </em>

The abbreviation TED stands for <em>Turtle Excluder Device</em>, which allows a sea turtle caught in a fisherman's net to escape. As some species of sea turtles are endangered, it's important for people to respect certain guidelines regarding their conservation, including the use of TEDs. If everyone followed these laws, conservationists wouldn't have to urge the government to increase monitoring. If there is a need for monitoring, there are individuals who break them.
