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.

The answer is Roots of words

The root of the word "vocabulary" for example is a Latin root meaning word or name.

What are Roots of Words?

  • Root words are also useful for creating new words, especially in technology and medicine, where new innovations occur frequently
  • Because several modern languages share some of the same ancestor languages, it's not entirely uncommon for several related languages to share root words.
  • For instance, the Latin root, described above, is shared by several Romance languages.
  • Understanding the meanings of the common word roots can help us deduce the meanings of new words that we encounter

How can technology be harmful? (100 words)
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Technology can be very harmful to us in many ways, even though there are some good technology devices out there. Let’s start with something simple, our cell phones. How can they be harmful to us? Well, they can be addicting to adults and children. Social media and texting get bigger each day with more people using these features. Over time, people seem to focus less on each other in person, and interact less in the real world. This causes a lot of harmful outcomes, such as anxiety, in younger adults. In younger people, social media is influencing them by what their peers are doing and saying. This can cause overthinking and impact their mental status. I hope this helps you! , if not please let me know what else you need in the comments below this answer.
