Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen. I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement, but the

re were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this. What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this excerpt? Kamen's family did not appreciate the enlargement of their basement. Kamen's mother had complained about the size of her kitchen and pantry. Kamen's idea to enlarge the basement benefited both his work and his family. Kamen's machine shop still did not fit into the newly enlarged basement.What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this excerpt?

Read the conversation between manu and anna and complete the passage that follows.
natulia [17]

"Manu asked Anna what time the train arrived. Anna replied that she thought the train would be on time." This question refers to the use of reported speech.

<h3>What is reported speech?</h3>

Reported speech is the structure we use when telling others what was said by someone. Instead of using that person's exact words, we modify their speech and use our own words.

When converting direct speech to reported speech, some simple steps can be very helpful:

  • Use verbs such as "say", "tell", "ask", "inquire", "answer", "reply", etc. to indicate the manner in which something was spoken.
  • Change the pronouns according to the situation. For example, if it is a man speaking, the pronoun "I" becomes "he".
  • Change words that indicate time or location if necessary. For instance: here → there; today → that day; tomorrow → the next day; etc.
  • Change the verb tenses to their respective pasts. For example: simple present → simple past; present perfect → past perfect; will → would.

St. Trophîme at Arles has a rich Roman heritage. Which of the following most accurately describes the frieze above the freestand
Shalnov [3]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) It recalls the sculptured fronts of late antique sarcophagi.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that resorting to examples from antique sarcophagi seems to be very logical, due to the rectangular shape of the frieze at St. Trophîme and to the fact that it is set against the wall of the building and that it features a series of figures placed next to each other, almost as in a procession. Most Roman sarcophagi had the shape of a rectangular box and they were only decorated on the front and the two short sides. In addition, late antique sarcophagi started to feature Christian iconography, so the artists working at St. Trophîme surely found them useful as models.
