(1) Machines are complete mysteries to me, and this has resulted in some embarrassing service calls at my home. (2) For example,

there was the time I called in a repairman because our refrigerator was too warm. (3) Imagine my humiliation when he told me that the cause of the problem was a dirty filter, which I didn’t know existed and therefore hadn’t cleaned even once in the two years we owned the refrigerator. (4) The best example of my brilliance with machines, however, has to be the time I called for someone to fix my washing machine. (5) The repairman’s solution was simply to put the plug back in the outlet, from which it had been jarred loose by the constant vibration of the washer.
The tone of this passage is


a. straightforward.

b. disbelieving.

c) self- mocking

The girl sounds like she's embarrassed with herself. She says, "imagine my humiliation", which means she's mocking herself. She's also sarcastic saying," the best example of my brilliance" was when all she had to do was put the plug back in the outlet.

If i can change anything in the world I would make all the deserts in Africa into forests and farms. This means no more starvati
professor190 [17]
I would add:
In order to do this, I will first get people to put trees into the deserts. Once the deserts are fully planted with trees, I will ask construction workers to build homes. Families can move here and request to open shops if they wish.
Hope this helps!

The words geology, georgic, and geode share a common root word. Based on that root word, what do all three words have in common?
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is A. Earth

Explanation:

A root word is a word by itself which can be combined with suffixes and prefixes to create new words, thus root words cannot be shortened but by adding other words or letter before or after them new words are created by mixing the meaning of the root word and the word, syllable or letter added. The words geology, georgic and geode have a common root word which is geo and which is combined with different suffixes such as -logy, -ergic and -de to create new words. The root word geo derives from Greek and means earth, ground or land, as mentioned before the root word is combined with suffixes to create new meanings in this way -logy means the science or study of something which means geology is the study of earth or land; -ergic means produce by, which means georgic is a poem produced or inspired by land (agriculture ) and the suffix -ede means separation which is links to geode definition which is a formation of rocks. Thus, the root word geology, georgic, and geode share is "geo" which means Earth.
