Even though it is possible to answer this question without the passage to which it refers, I will add it here to make answering easier:
Then I heard about a summer job through my uncle who was a dentist. He introduced me to one of his patients who had a business selling audio-visual equipment for big light and music shows. He was looking for some new, better equipment. I spent all summer when I was sixteen building high-powered light-controlled systems that synchronized many Kodak projectors at once, as many as sixty-four to 120 of them, and reduced the cumbersome machines from the size of a refrigerator to the size of a toaster. Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling. To make this new device I had bought every kind of electrical equipment I could find, and still had money left over.
Answer:
The detail that shows that Kamen's light-controlled systems were very good is:
C. One of his inventions was used in theaters, the Museum of Natural History, and the New York Planetarium.
Explanation:
If Kamen's systems were not good, they wouldn't have been used at all, no matter how much time and money he had spent developing them.
<u>The proof that they were good can be found in the line where it is said, "Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling." To be used in places such as the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium, the systems must have had excellent quality. At those places, exhibitions are taken seriously, and they would have invested in good equipment and systems to make sure the quality was the best they could get.</u>
Answer:
B) point out a problem with the counterclaim
Explanation:
I would oppose it. Studies show teens biological clocks naturally want to go to bed later and wake up earlier. By making school and hour earlier this makes teens more groggy especially because their bodies do not want to go to sleep earlier so this can cause sleep deprivation which will make school work less concentrated and makes teens attitudes about school worsen.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you <u>behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.</u>
Which type of phrase is the underlined portion of the sentence?
A. adverbial phrase
B. verb phrase
C. absolute phrase

Answer:
D. adjectival phrase

Adjective phrases are phrases that assume the same function as an adjective, promoting a characteristic and describing something or someone. According to the sentence underlined in the question above, we can see that this sentence aims to convey a characteristic that Mr. Darcy lacks. The phrase refers to the lack of delicacy, which represents that Mr. Darcy behaved in a rude and rude manner. This phrase, therefore, refers to a characteristic of Darcy and is therefore an adjective phrase.
