Answer: To provide the best possible view

Explanation:

The crow's nest was located on the upper part of the main mast in a large sailing ship. It was so named because it is thought that Vikings used to carry crows in cages attached to the top of the mast and when they couldn't see anything they would let the crow out and follow its flight path.

It is located as high on the mast as possible so that it may provide the best possible view of what is ahead so that the ship can be able to navigate better. It was replaced by radar to a large extent.

Answer:

Answers to numbers (Somebody else do another half)

1. If I could do something I've never done before, it'd be sky diving. I would want to go sky diving for the thrill of falling and descending back to Earth from a great height. Also, trying new activities is awesome, so why not do as much as you can while you're still here?

2. Pollution is bad because it kills the environment and people around us. Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases.

3. If I could go back to any place in time, I would stay right where I am. The world is already bad enough with political issues, protests, fires etc. Going back in time would do nothing but change the flow and disrupt how the world is working.

What does the author mean on page 4 Passage 2 when he says that Sir Kay “player his hand like a major—and took every trick” ?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Sir Kay was not easily fooled

Explanation:

This is a figurative expression that means that sir kay was not one who could be fooled so easily. From the sentence before this expression, it is stated that sir kay was equal to the occasion based on the fact that lots of eyes rested on him. The expression suggests that he knows every trick and so he was not the kind of person who could be bought over easily.
