Answer:

It's nothing but disgusting trash and waste.

Explanation:

Landfills are disgusting. There's no other reason why it shouldn't be called an eyesore. It's all just old trash from people's bathrooms, kitchens, and junk in general.

When organic material such as food scraps and green waste is put in landfill, it is generally compacted down and covered. This removes the oxygen and causes it to break down in an anaerobic process. Eventually this releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

Also, landfills are big, gaping piles of trash. Imagine moving to a new neighborhood and there being a landfill smack dab in the middle of it. You have to realize, it can stink for miles and its not very neighborly to have a big pile of trash in the neighborhood.

And lastly, it pollutes the air. If phones, tablets, and other electronics are in a landfill, (and they are) it releases radioactive waste into the air and soil, making the landfill, even after trash is gone, unable to grow plants or inhabit life at all.

I know you only asked for the eyesore part, but I enjoy answering these types of questions so I went all out. Hope this helps.

which paragraphs from the excerpt best support the conclusion that the author primary’s purpose is to teach a lesson
kow [346]

Read the excerpt from "The Three Questions" by Leo Tolstoy.

All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.

The hermit lived in a wood which he never quitted, and he received none but common folk. So the King put on simple clothes, and before reaching the hermit's cell dismounted from his horse, and, leaving his body-guard behind, went on alone.

When the King approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. Seeing the King, he greeted him and went on digging. The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily.

The King went up to him and said: "I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?"

The hermit listened to the King, but answered nothing. He just spat on his hand and recommenced digging.

"You are tired," said the King, "let me take the spade and work awhile for you."

Answer: Options A and D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Paragraph A sets up the state of mind for the story, telling you the lord is both unsatisfied and ready to go further to get this subtle data he looks for. This sets up a book that will for sure give you some data, in all likelihood as an exercise.

Paragraph option D also helps to understand this purpose of the author that the purpose was to teach. In that option the author shows that the king asks the hermit that what can he do for the welfare and the betterment of the people, what can he teach them.

A vehicle starts to move foom rest and maintains an acceleration of 0.8 m/s2 in 10 second Calculate the final velocity and dista
Alekssandra [29.7K]

initial velocity, u = 0m/s (starts from rest)

final velocity, v = ?

time, t = 10 seconds

acceleration, a = 0.8m/s²

v - u = at

v - 0 = 0.8(10)

v - 0 = 8

v = 8m/s

speed = distance / time

distance = speed x time

distance = 8 x 10

distance = 80m
