How does the alien with the baseball bat contribute to the effectiveness of the political cartoon?

English
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send.

Explanation:

The political cartoon "Mars Probe" by Mike Keefe shows a Mars probe trying to land on the red planet while there are three aliens playing baseball. The one in the middle exclaimed <em>"Get ready! Here comes another one!"</em> to the one with the bat while the third is in the background standing ready to catch anything that hit the bat.

This political cartoon uses humor to show that unknown factors contribute to the damaged condition of the probes sent by humans to Mars.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Are the phrases "very exciting" and "very interesting" the same
prohojiy [21]

No, because excitement is an emotion. When something is “very exciting” it causes extreme joy. Interest is something that makes you curious. When something is “very interesting” it causes one to seek out more information, which in some scenarios may cause excitement.

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by  Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

  • those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
  • those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.

By the end of the day, I will have baked seven cakes for the festival.
ziro4ka [17]
Answer B. (Future perfect tense is used, as the sentence refers to something that will be completed by some point in the future.) is correct.

B is correct because the event which will happen in the future (the baking of the cakes) will also have ended.

I will have baked is a correct form of future perfect, because future perfect is made with the following construction:
Subject + will have + past participle
