Answer:
1. I expected the play to end with some philosophical or moral message, as it actually ended, as it shows that alienation, paranoia and panic make people easy targets to manipulate.
2. I thought that there were no aliens when at the beginning of the play, where the neighborhood was affected by factors that can happen normally, such as the drop in electricity supply, the existence of introverted people and problems with cars and phones.
3. I believed that aliens existed when the shadow that took over the city appeared and when the aliens did appear.
Explanation:
"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" tells the story of a city that had several problems with electricity supply and telephone and television signals, after a giant shadow overtook the city and a very strong flash was seen by all. Cars also began to malfunction, leaving all residents concerned. The townspeople started to think that this was caused by aliens and started to distrust each other, thinking that the neighbors were beings from another planet. This caused great hysteria and paranoia in everyone, driving the city into complete chaos. In the end we learned that the shadow and the malfunction of things were being caused by aliens themselves, who were trying to discover how panic and paranoia allowed human beings to be manipulated.
The correct answer is B. They would go into small spaces of the machines in factories that adults could not reach.
Explanation:
During the period of industrialization from the 18th century to the 19th-century child labor was common as more workers were required and also families struggle to get enough money. Indeed, during this time it was common children as young as four or five years old worked in factories and mines where they would go into machines or other places adults could not reach or would do tasks that require small hands. Additionally, children were paid less, did not attend school and worked in hazardous and difficult conditions which often led to accidents or injuries. Thus, the statement that describes the common role of working children during industrialization is "They would go into small spaces of the machines in factories that adults could not reach".
<span>The function of water may be taken to moisten. Similarly, a spade may be used to dig. Therefore, this "water is to moisten and spade is to dig" is an example of a function analogy, as the functions of both water and spade are being considered. Synonym analogies contain synonyms, antonym analogies contain antonyms and description analogies describe one object using the second word.</span>
D) Milo is always trying to get attention, so he rubs his body against my feet, and he meows when I am in another room.
Option D is the best way to revise the sentences to include a transition. The transition used in this sentence is "so". It correctly connects the idea of Milo trying to get attention to what he does in order to get attention. Option A is a run on sentence. A comma by itself is not enough to connect the first independent clause with the next two independent clauses. There needs to be more than a comma between "attention" and "he". In option D there is a comma and "so". Option B is also not grammatically correct for the same reason as option A. Also, when using a conjunction like "and" to connect two independent clause, we do not use a semicolon before the conjunction. Option C is also not correct. The transition "Although" does not show the correct relationship between Milo trying to get attention and how he does it.
