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.

Answer:

3. The most important idea.

Explanation:

The central idea of any passage or text is the most important point or topic that the passage or text is talking about. It states the purpose of the whole text or passage.

The central idea is not the same as the main topic. The main topic is the topic that the text but the central idea is the main idea of what the text or passage or paragraph is about.

For instance, in a passage about birds, the main topic is "birds" but the central idea can be about how birds are, or how they help the environment, or how they migrate from one place to another, depending on the passage.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.

Write an essay explaining your definition of maintaining a strong friendship. (In Your own)
Semmy [17]
Be kind is the most important thing I believe if you are rude then why would someone want to be friends. Trust if you can trust someone to tell your secrets that is also important if you don’t trust someone you shouldn’t maintain a relationship. Honestly knowing how to be honest in the right time is important-if you are unable to then your friendship might fail over time. Personality If two people personalities are contradicting then how would two people continue to be friends. Comedy if someone finds it funny to make fun of a friends and you find it funny when someone makes fun of you then both of your comedy alines. If someone is very sensitive and either the person who likes making fun of friends or the sensitive person wants to become friends it might not be a good idea. You don’t want to hurt each-others feelings. I don’t like sarcasm so I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone sarcastic but I am . I stay friends with the person because even if they are sarcastic they are kind,good to talk too, active , and all and above honest. I have been told I’m kinda rude but its from a place of love I’m too honest and I don’t know when I’m being manipulative or rude so when my friends tell me I am I stop and apologize. Ive been friends with one person since the 1st grade i didn’t like her at first but we grew on each-other. We played all the time even when she moved to another state I would go their every winter and summer break to see my family and also her. She moved back and we hanged out pretty much everyday. Then moved but we still talk give each-other presents . Invite each-other to our houses.
