Question:
Read this excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.
Reber had just one little problem. To explore the radio energy, he needed a radio telescope—a telescope that could detect invisible radio energy—but there was no such thing at the time. So he invented one. He built it in his backyard in Wheaton, Illinois. Late into the night, Reber probed the sky with his new telescope, using it to locate the source of the mysterious radio energy.
Reber mapped these signals from the sky and shared his findings. Astronomers followed up with new investigations and soon began reporting more signals. Over time, with better radio telescopes, they found that some radio sources appeared as paired patches, one on either side of a tiny dot. They called these sources "radio galaxies." They also discovered other, more starlike sources—intense dots of radio energy without patches. How strange. What could these quasars (short for "quasi-stellar radio sources") be? Were they related to the radio galaxies?
Which statement best describes the connection made in the excerpt?
A) The excerpt makes a connection between Reber's discoveries and the discovery of radio galaxies by later astronomers.
B) The excerpt makes a connection between the discovery of radio galaxies and the discovery of black holes.
C) The excerpt makes a connection between the invention of radio telescopes and the discovery of black holes.
D) The excerpt makes a connection between the discovery radio galaxies and the discovery of quasars.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
The last sentence in Paragraph 1 and the first five sentences in paragraph 2 of the excerpt lends evidence to the above choice.
After Reber's shared his discovery, Astronomers follow up with more studies, invented more powerful radio telescopes which helped them discover more sources of radio signals. They called these sources Radio Galaxies.
Cheers!
Answer:
The poor plaque-ridden residential areas of the town were shut off from the rest of the world.
Explanation:
plaque ridden is a hyphenated word so should include a hyphen
In Emily Dickinson’s poem, she uses metaphor, likening the notion of hope to a bird that flies despite “the storm”, the cold of “the chilliest land” and the isolation of “the strangest sea” and because such metaphorical bird “flies” inside one’s “soul”, such hope is personified. In Finding Flight, the process is similar although here the text is not a poem but a story in prose. The device of remembrance of the figure of the late grandfather turns a hummingbird into a symbol of hope for the narrator. There is no metaphor here but actually symbolism. The hummingbird symbolizes both hope and the memory of the beloved grandfather who has “passed”. The bird “gives hope” both to the grandfather and the granddaughter. The plot structure is the same for both works, a reflection on the luminosity of hope, then a period of hardship that tests hope and then the resilience of hope despite all the troubles and darkness of life.
Answer:
According to Mary Shelley's 1831 introduction, where did she get her inspiration for Frankenstein? Mary Shelley was only 18 when she began writing Frankenstein. Her parents were both well-known writers. ... The idea both frightened her and inspired her ghost story, which later became Frankenstein.
