Which TWO sentences in this excerpt from "The New Name" by G.K. Chesterton indicate that the writer is addressing a large audien

ce?
Something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community; but which has not yet got a name. Let no one fancy I confess any unreality when I confess the namelessness. The morality called Puritanism, the tendency called Liberalism, the reaction called Tory Democracy, had not only long been powerful, but had practically done most of their work, before these actual names were attached to them. Nevertheless, I think it would be a good thing to have some portable and practicable way of referring to those who think as we do in our main concern. Which is, that men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave. Let me explain first why I am not satisfied with the word commonly used, which I have often used myself; and which, in some contexts, is quite the right word to use. I mean the word "rebel." Passing over the fact that many who understand the justice of our cause (as a great many at the Universities) would still use the word "rebel" in its old and strict sense as meaning only a disturber of just rule. I pass to a much more practical point. The word "rebel" understates our cause. It is much too mild; it lets our enemies off much too easily. There is a tradition in all western life and letters of Prometheus defying the stars, of man at war with the Universe, and dreaming what nature had never dared to dream. All this is valuable in its place and proportion. But it has nothing whatever to do with our ease; or rather it very much weakens it. The plutocrats will be only too pleased if we profess to preach a new morality; for they know jolly well that they have broken the old one. They will be only too pleased to be able to say that we, by our own confession, are merely restless and negative; that we are only what we call rebels and they call cranks. But it is not true; and we must not concede it to them for a moment. The model millionaire is more of a crank than the Socialists; just as Nero was more of a crank than the Christians. And avarice has gone mad in the governing class to-day, just as lust went mad in the circle of Nero. By all the working and orthodox standards of sanity, capitalism is insane. I should not say to Mr. Rockefeller "I am a rebel." I should say "I am a respectable man: and you are not."

1. Something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community; but which has not yet got a name.

2. Which is, that men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave.

3.Let me explain first why I am not satisfied with the word commonly used, which I have often used myself; and which, in some contexts, is quite the right word to use.

4. But it is not true; and we must not concede it to them for a moment.

5. I should not say to Mr. Rockefeller "I am a rebel." I should say "I am a respectable man: and you are not."

Why does the animator use a wide shot of Cyprus, Lutra, and the tarcliraptor? Click on the BEST reason.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Wide shot are for to carry the audience along as scenes are shot from a distance.

Explanation:

A wide shot is one of the basic camera shots in photography, it is a

also commonly called long shots. It shows the objective, object/subject from a distance, emphasizing the place and location, while Close shots on the other hand reveal details of the objective/object/subject also for to highlight emotions of a character.

A animator is one who creates an animation or cartoon; a cartoonist.

A wide shot tells the crowd, listenership and audience who is in the scene, where the scene is set, and when the scene takes place. In Cyprus, Lutra, and The tarcliraptor the animator aimed to carry the audience along such that the audience understand the time of the scenes, the settings of the scenes and the persons in the scenes respectively.

Wide shots however allow the actors to utilize their physical attributes and give the director a lot of space in which to work then to later focus on the lead role.

How do air conditioners work? Explain this by step by step.
kotykmax [81]

Explanation:

Step 1: Heat is absorbed by the evaporator coil

The warm air inside your house is drawn in through a vent and blows over the cold evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is the station located indoors and absorbs heat from the air, cooling the air. A fan blows the cold air into air ducts that distribute it throughout your home.

Step 2: Compressor raises the refrigerant temperature

The compressor decreases the gas’ volume. Usually this is done by squeezing the gas tightly between two solid objects

Step 3: Heat is transferred outside

The refrigerant, now a superheated vapor, reaches the condenser (which is located outdoors) and is exposed to the outside air. The outside air absorbs the heat from the refrigerant, lowering the temperature of the refrigerant and changing the state from a gas back into a liquid.

Step 4: Refrigerant gets cold; process repeats

Once the heat from the refrigerant is removed to the outdoors, the cold refrigerant travels back indoors to the evaporator to repeat the process over again. The process continues until the inside temperature of your home reaches your desired level. At this point, your thermostat tells your AC to shut off.
