This sentence is missing a comma after the word "big" (it should read: the big, domed building) since big and domed are two different adjectives describing the building in question.
The reasons for the ban are mainly the health risks of performance-enhancing drugs, the equality of opportunity for athletes, and the exemplary effect of drug-free sport for the public. Anti-doping authorities state that using performance-enhancing drugs goes against the "spirit of sport"
Answer:Ms. Lottie is an older woman and one of Lizabeth's neighbors. She grows beautiful marigolds in front of her house. The children take pleasure in throwing rocks at her flowers, and they enjoy bothering her.
Explanation:
The story tells of a young African-American girl named Lizabeth who grew up during the Great Depression. In the beginning of the story, she is very childish and does not stop to think about her actions. With their friends, Lizabeth and her brother go to the house of an elderly woman named Ms. Lottie and harass her while she tends to her marigolds by throwing stones at the marigolds and yelling rude things at her. They also make fun of Miss Lottie's mentally disabled son, John Burke. As they run away from Miss Lottie's house after calling her an "old lady witch", Lizabeth begins to think about her actions and how they affect others. Later that night, Lizabeth hears her parents argue about jobs and money and talk about how they feel they can't support themselves. Lizabeth's mother works to support her family, but her father is out of a job and is upset because he believes that he, as the man of the house, should earn the money for the family. Out of shock and anger, Lizabeth sneaks over to Miss Lottie's house. She goes to the garden to destroy all the marigolds in a rage, only to come face-to-face with the old woman. Miss Lottie sees what Lizabeth has done to her flowers, and she is so shocked that she doesn't say or do anything. As Lizabeth realizes that the marigolds she destroyed were the only bit of hope and beauty Miss Lottie had left, she starts to regret her actions and begs Miss Lottie to forgive her. In the present, Lizabeth, who is now an adult, looks back on her childish actions with regret and states that their encounter was the end of her innocence and of her childhood.
Answer:
1. <u>New Technologies and Research</u>
Humans did not evolve to go into space, but we go there anyway. That has led to the development of various technologies that feed back into the economy and improve our lives on Earth. Without space programs, we wouldn’t have GPS, accurate weather prediction, solar cells, or the ultraviolet filters in sunglasses and cameras.
2. <u>Humanity's Purpose</u>
Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system.
3. <u>Long-term Survival </u>
It is only a matter of time before something happens to our planet that is so devastating that it changes the course of life as we know it. Whether the disaster is natural it is possible that our home will no longer be habitable. What happens, then, to all of the accomplishments of the last thousand generations of humans? All of our art, our music, our literature, our science, even our very genes could be wiped out. Unless, of course, there are a few humans living elsewhere in the solar system. Space exploration and colonization of the Moon and Mars are an insurance policy for humanity and all of our achievements.
