3 ...The greatest curiosity of the study remains to be mentioned; it was a ponderous folio volume, bound in black leather, with

massive silver clasps. There were no letters on the back, and nobody could tell the title of the book. But it was well known to be a book of magic; and once, when a chambermaid had lifted it, merely to brush away the dust, the skeleton had rattled in its closet, the picture of the young lady had stepped one foot upon the floor, and several ghastly faces had peeped forth from the mirror; while the brazen head of Hippocrates frowned, and said,--"Forbear!" What is the meaning of the phrase ponderous folio volume as it is used in paragraph 3 of the passage? A) a storage trunk B) a very large, heavy book C) a strange, unusual object D) something that is forbidden

Answer:

B) a very large, heavy book

Explanation:

“Ponderous folio volume” as used in the paragraph in the passage connotes a somewhat large, and heavy book that is voluminous. From the description that follows, we can tell what is being described is a book that is huge, given that it is “bound in black leather, with massive silver clasps”. So, therefore, the most likely meaning of the phrase “ponderous folio volume”, considering the available options given, is “B) a very large, heavy book”

Artemon [7]
<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>

How does igneous rock become sedimentary rock?
Zinaida [17]

Explanation:

Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly. Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly. When it pours out on Earth's surface, magma is called lava. In this way, igneous rock can become sedimentary rock.

Any rock (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) can become a metamorphic rock. If rocks are buried deep in the Earth at high temperatures and pressures, they form new minerals and textures all without melting. If melting occurs, magma is formed, starting the rock cycle all over again.
