Answer:

There are variations to the joke but ultimately it's about getting someone to say they are a type of light bulb. GE (General Electric) is a manufacturer of light bulbs. Asking someone to spell the word 'image' then say 'light bulb' afterward produces this response: I M A GE light bulb which is heard as 'I am a GE light bulb'

Sidana [21]

He mentions that America wrote a bad check for freedom to African Americans, but he states that he “refuses to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” He also states, “We’ve come to cash this check… of freedom and security of justice.”

Let's just walk through each option.

Option 1: He says that he chooses “to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation,” so it shows that he has given up hope. - This is simply not true. MLK has not given up hope. In fact, he has hope that people listening to this speech will help to create change and allow all people of all backgrounds to have equal opportunities.

Option 2: He states, “so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches” of the nation for everyone. This proves that he wants government money to be equally shared. - This is also a completely wrong interpretation of the text. The check is symbolic of a promise America made to African Americans. It really has nothing to do with actual currency being handed over.

Option 3: MLK explains that America should give African Americans “a bad check, a check that has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” - This is also incorrect. He doesn't want America to give African Americans anything bad. This includes a bad check, or promise.

Option 4: He mentions that America wrote a bad check for freedom to African Americans, but he states that he “refuses to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” He also states, “We’ve come to cash this check… of freedom and security of justice.” - This one is correct. He is saying that America has not lived up to their promises of equality, but hope is not lost. America can still bring about justice and change to make sure that everyone has equal opportunities no matter their race.

using the achieve article "web site brings teens together-- 65 years later" answer the following question. Think about the news
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Before reading the article, it is good to know that it is a self-help article, which talks about the importance of sharing feelings.

Explanation:

The article begins by talking about the meeting of two elderly people who were together in the Nazi concentration camps when they were teenagers. In this meeting they share the situations they went through during their confinement, in addition to talking about their feelings about it and about the life they currently have, establishing a strong friendship between them.

After describing the meeting of these gentlemen, the article lists the importance of expressing feelings when we go through a difficult situation. The article does this, showing as an example the family and friends of a girl who died and how expressing what they feel helps them to overcome the sadness of the loss. However, the title of the article does not give any hint that this topic will be discussed, so it would be good to know that part of the article before reading it.
