Setler [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.

In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.

In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.

If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.

In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "<em>green problem".</em>

Cheers

What should the driver do to help ensure the stop goes smoothly
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: 1. Scan the stopping or slowing area.

2. Squeeze the brake pedal until there is pressure or resistance.

3. Brake smoothly and early.

4. Position your right foot in the correct position.

5. Position your left foot on the firewall for balance and support.

Explanation: Scan the stopping or slowing area. It’s impossible to stop smoothly if you

cannot see the reason you need to stop until the final second. Scan ahead for

signs, signals, roadway markings, and potential hazards that you would need to

brake or stop for. Anticipate other drivers actions so that you can respond swiftly

and appropriately.

2. Squeeze the brake pedal until there is pressure or resistance. Remember

that the brake pedal is not an on/off switch. It should be one fluid movement.

When you want to come to a stop, place your foot on the pedal and gradually

increase pressure until you come to a smooth and complete stop.

3. Brake smoothly and early. Braking early is actually “on-time” in the world of

driving. You can’t expect your vehicle to come to a smooth and complete stop in

a split-second. When approaching a stop sign, depending on the conditions, you

may actually begin braking 20 or more feet before you reach the appropriate

stopping point.

4. Position your right foot in the correct position. Use your right foot and place it

in line with the right half of the brake pedal with your heel on the floo

5. Position your left foot on the firewall for balance and support. This will allow

for optimum stability and ease when applying pressure to break with your other

foot.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

The author of “The Cold Equations” most likely wants you to believe that Marilyn was supposed to get thrown overboard. She was threatened to be killed and this excerpt clearly shows the idea , so it will definitely help you:

“You mean it — you really mean it.” She sagged back against the wall, small and limp like a little rag doll,and all the protesting and disbelief gone. “You’re going to do it — you’re going to make me die?” “I’m sorry,” he said again. “You’ll never know how sorry I am. It has to be that way and no human in the universe can change it.”
