Derek nodded, still wary of his brother’s apparatus. He wasn’t sure that he wanted some machine toying with his subconscious whi

le he slept like a baby. However, Derek remembered the reason why he had asked his brother about the Dream Machine in the first place. His history class was creating a Web site about the ancient Olympic Games and Derek had to write about the stadion. He had yet to pen a single word, and his presentation was due the following day.
8Derek took a deep breath and picked up the helmet. He programmed the following information: 776 B.C.E., Olympia, Greece, stadion. Then he placed the clunky machine on his head, fastened the strap, and tried to get comfortable in his bed. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep. . . .

9Derek stood in the stadion, the place where ancient Greeks held athletic contests. He watched as the athletes prepared to run a race, which was also called the stadion. The stadion was one of the most important events of the ancient Olympics. The length of the race was one stade—about 200 yards—which was the distance from one end of the stadion to the other. The people next to Derek talked excitedly about the great honor that would come to the man who won the race. Derek cheered along with them as the athletes sprinted to the finish line. . . .

10The next morning, Derek proudly presented his information about the stadion to his classmates. Even Mr. Jovavitch, the history teacher, looked impressed with the thorough description.
The author uses paragraphs eight, nine, and ten

A) to explain how the Dream Machine brought Derek back from ancient Greece.
B) to illustrate how to program the Dream Machine to take someone into the past.
C) to show that Derek succeeded in using the Dream Machine to complete his project.
D) to demonstrate that Derek’s presentation was better than those of his classmates.

Answer:

C) to show that Derek succeeded in using the Dream Machine to complete his project

Explanation:

So, the previous paragraphs established the problem of the story; Derek has a project that is due tomorrow, he hasn't even started writing it, he has no idea what to write and his brother presents him with the possible solution - the Dream Machine.

Now, the paragraph 8 shows the way machine works, paragraph 9 shows that the machine works and that in his dream he saw the Olympics - the theme of his project, and paragraph 10 shows his teacher praising him for the job he had done on the project.

These three paragraphs imply that Derek successfully used the Dream Machine which helped him complete his project.

Michael is giving his friend feedback on her paper. Which two sections of his review contain constructive feedback? My favorite
Lana71 [14]

Constructive feedback reinforces positive behavior and offers a critique in a direct but respectful way. If given in a negative or rude way, criticism might not only hurt the feelings of the receiver but also reinforce negative behavior. Blending praise and suggestions make the feedback polite and efficient.

In the excerpt, the two parts that contain constructive feedback are:

<em>'My favorite part of the essay was when you described your grandmother's reaction after finding the frog in her purse because it was so funny and so vivid.'</em>

<em>'I would suggest working on word choice, since you used the same words many times in the essay. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms if you need to.'</em>

The first section reinforces positive behavior by offering a compliment while the second one offers a suggestion for improvement.

The other sections criticize his friend's paper in a negative way, making harsh comments without offering any suggestions or solutions to the flaws found.

well now.

D. Though she started with the flute two years later Aisha plays the piano and the flute very well now

Answer : Though she started with the flute two years later, Aisha plays the piano and the flute very well  now( A )

Explanation:

The best way to combine the information in the two clauses is : Though she started with the flute two years later, Aisha plays the piano and the the flute very well.

This is because the two clauses carry a piece of information which is incomplete and to combine the clauses to get the complete information a ( ,  ) is used in order to indicate the beginning and the end of each clause that make up the complete information. The third sentence contains a " but " which is a reason word therefore those not represent the best way of combining the clauses because one of the clause already contains a reason word " though "

Which four phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball’s Great Astromomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptlemy’s work.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Greatest figure in ancient astronomy

Gathered up the wisdom

Illumined it with his theories

Astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • so far as his individuality is concerned
  • greatest figure in ancient astronomy
  • gathered up the wisdom
  • illumined it with his theories
  • astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Our task is to determine which phrases praise Ptolemy for his work. These phrases will contain subjective language - language that reveals the author's feelings, opinions, beliefs, or assumptions about what he's writing about. All phrases, except for the first one, contain this type of language. The first phrase contains neutral, objective language, which is why it isn't one of the correct options.

Words that Robert Stawell Ball uses to commend Ptolemy are <em>greatest, wisdom, illuminated, </em>and <em>astonishing</em>. All of these words have a positive connotation, i.e. evoke positive emotions in us.
