Marshall Gregg and Neve Reed, questioned the acts behind, Benjamin Franklin's legendary kite experiment. 
Did Franklin really "Collect Fire from the Sky?" and " Franklins Smoke of Balance." They hold different positions on whether Franklin conducted the experiment that is credited widely on proving lightning as a form of electricity.
Gregg says, the story is factual, but Reed disagrees, He cites three significant reasons for doubting; One, he is skeptical about the recounting of the story by Priestley, second, he mentions a letter by Franklin that describes how he would use the kite theoretically to prove electricity and lightning at the same time and lastly, he says, If Franklin touched the metal his chances o survival would be minimal.
Marshall, on the other hand, refuted Reed's opinion and argued that the experiment occurred and points out that the letter was a "hypothetical" sketch of the test and through an explicit counterargument, Gregg successfully proved that Franklin's experiment happened and succeeded. His argument was stronger as he applied a strategy of anticipation of objections and response by use o evidence to Reeds points, i.e., evidence from; Priestly and the scientific community.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

a. did not have an enjoyable time at the ball.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's novel <em>Northanger Abbey</em> tells the coming-of-age story of Catherine Morland. This novel deals with the theme of the loss of innocence and also depicts the typical Elizabethan society where wealth determines one's status.

Catherine had been invited by the family friend the Allens in Bath, where they had gone to a ball. But not being asked for a dance by anyone, Catherine felt bad and wishes that there was at least someone, anyone to talk to. She even implored on Mrs. Allen to try to find any acquaintance, asking her <em>"are  you sure there is nobody you know in all this multitude of  people? I think you must know somebody"</em> prompting her to sincerely tell her that she does not know anyone.

When asked by Mr. Allen whether she <em>"had an agreeable ball" </em>to which she replied <em>"Very agreeable indeed"</em> while at the same time <em>"vainly endeavoring  to hide a great yawn"</em>. In this scene, the narrator implies that Catherine did not have an enjoyable time at the ball, despite the <em>"multitude of people"</em> who were in attendance.
