<u>Answer:</u>
The sequence of key ideas is as follows:
- Travel by land and water were solved in the nineteenth century.
- The twentieth century will solve the problem of flight.
- Wind resistance is a concern that needs to be solved.
- Wilbur and Orville confirm the existence of tangential force.
- Wilbur estimates they will need at least an engine weighing one hundred pounds.
- He estimates the first flying machine will only reach low speeds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Key idea 1 introduces the main idea of travel and states that land and water travel were taken care of in the nineteenth century, leaving air travel by implication, which is stated in the next idea. It is further elaborated in detail in the third point which explains the aspect of the problem that needed to be solved. The fourth idea introduces Wilbur and Orville and states their findings on the existence of tangential force, elaborating the former's estimates in the fifth and sixth key points.
Answer:
Probably C
Explanation:
They called it a "summer colony" which isn't commonly said... But they wore bathing dresses too which is something that women did years ago, so if not C then A.
I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:
<span>They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . .
</span>A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.
The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".
