Read this excerpt from the preface of a book written about machines. I have been fascinated by machines since I was a child. Pla

ying in the creek behind my house, I used sticks, string, and plastic cups to create a pulley system for drawing up water. When I got older, my friends and I built ramps for our bikes, and sped down them with abandon. It was only natural that I became an engineer who designs machines for all sorts of tasks. Based on this excerpt from the preface, which best explains why the author wrote the book? The author used materials found around the house to make simple machines. The childhood friends of the author were also interested in making and using machines. The author has had a lifelong interest in machines and how to develop them for a variety of purposes. As a child, the author enjoyed outdoor activities such as playing in a creek and riding on a bik

Do you think that the Lock down during the corona virus pandemic was an essential measure in spite of the hardship it brought ec
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<h3>Yes, it was an essential measure in spite of the hardships it had brought about.</h3>

Explanation:

  • Yes, it was an essential measure in spite of the hardships it had brought about because <u>no vaccination or antiviral drug has been found to cure Corona virus yet.</u> Scientists and doctors are still battling to find a cure and therefore, <u>the governments around the world cannot risk people socializing.</u>
  • I would suggest governments to let<u> young and healthy individuals to continue working</u> while <u>monitoring senior and older people as they are more susceptible to the virus</u>. The economy cannot be halted for long as people need to earn and keep the income flow running. Many countries have been affected severely due to lockdown and many lives are at stake.
  • Thus, I would suggest young and healthy people to resume working and earning.

HELP *TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD CH. 1*
azamat
Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.
