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.

Which topic is shared by the poems "If We Must Die" and "To a Dark Girl"?
fgiga [73]

"If We Must Die" was written by Claude McKay while "To a Dark Girl" was written by Gwendolyn Bennett. The topic that is shared by these two poems is;

  • The ability to remain dauntless in adversity

In the poem, "To a Dark Girl," the poet praised the beauty of the brown girl. The poet also encouraged her to preserve her 'queenliness' even though she was considered a slave by her oppressors.

In the poem, "If We Must Die," the poet also encouraged the black man to courageously face his foes even though they outnumbered him.

So, both poems share the theme of remaining dauntless in the face of adversity.

A Dream Within A Dream
Digiron [165]

Answer: A

Explanation: it's not B, because that just doesn't mean thoughtful at all.

It's not C because religious people don't say "o god" because that's using the lord's name on vain. And they do not do that. Not D because it has absolutely nothing to do with philosophy so it has to be A and it does show they're emotional because of the exclamation! : ) hope that helped.

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions regarding it. This prevents me from giving you any answers. However, to help you out, I'll explain what the text presented means. Hope it's useful.

The text posed in the question above is an excerpt from "Of Plymouth Plantation" written by William Bradford, where he presents a real account of the life of the first English settlers, recently arrived in America. In this excerpt, he shows how the arrival in America was very challenging for all the settlers. They had already faced problems on the way between England and America and when they arrived in the new world, they landed in a place where there was no one to help them with anything. The settlers had neither house nor food, they had to face the harsh winter without any resources to protect them, they did not know any place they could shelter and lived in constant concern about being attacked by the "savages", that is, the natives.

C. The night was flying by very quickly. Moths wings flutter very quickly, therefore when the night is compared to a fluttering moth wing, the author is saying the night was flying by very fast.
