Answer:
The first firefighters to arrive on the scene had only limited waterpower
There are two correctly punctuated sentences here:
1. That's the other thing I learned: being active is just as important as eating better foods.
2. Over the years, many of us have read the words of Henry B. Adams: "A teacher affects eternity; sge can never tell where her influence stops."
An analogy compares two things to show the similarities. We know how huge of an impact the printing press had during the Renaissance--all of a sudden it was much easier to get things printed, which made more people want to learn how to read. Before the printing press, only super rich people knew how to read because it was not important for lower classes to know--many things were spoken outloud as a way to give and get information. With the printing press, more people could get their hands on books or papers, which encouraged more people to learn how to read.
Computers have had a similar impact, which is why this is an analogy. Computers help more people get more information, because it is so much easier and faster to write things down, print them out, and send them. The same way the printing press helped information reach more people, computers do as much in this century to help more people get information faster and easier.
✓ The revision that would most likely improve this paragraph is "the elimination of passive language. "
The details that support this idea can be seen in the two excerpts below:
“She overheard people asking what she was doing there, questioning if she was out of her depth.”
“‘I see a lot of struggles that we had to overcome to prove ourselves,’ she said.”
<h3>Why do the details support the idea?</h3>
- The first excerpt shows that people questioned whether the girls were in the right place.
- Since most American scientists were white men, many of them doubted the girls' ability to do a good job.
- That's because they believed that black girls were not capable.
- In the second excerpt, we can see that this even harmed the girls' view of themselves.
- They were so questioned that they came to doubt themselves and had to overcome this insecurity.
In this case, we can see that racism disrupted the girls' professional lives and even the way they saw themselves.
