The sentence is taken from the short story Editha by William Howell. The theme revolves around patriotism, media and war. Editha is the main female lead of the story who forces her fiancé to enlist in the war.

The correct meaning of the underlined word Ignoble is:

Option B. <u>Contemptible</u>

The word can be explained as:

  • The word ignoble is used to describe the peace at a place but it is contemptible as there is no actual peace in the city as they are going through warfare.

  • The word contemptible also means despicable and hateful that fits best with the story theme.

Thus, ignoble means contemptible.

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.
Fudgin [204]
Robert M. Vogel'in "Eyfel Kulesi Asansör Sistemleri, 1889" kitabından alıntıyı okuyun.

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde 1855 yılında inşa edilen ilk komple asansör makinesi, salınımlı silindirli bir buhar motorunun etrafına inşa edilmiş karmaşık ve verimsiz bir yapıydı. Değirmen tahrikinden bağımsız bir asansör sisteminin avantajları hızla ortaya çıktı ve 1860'a gelindiğinde geliştirilmiş buharlı asansör makineleri bir miktar, ancak neredeyse sadece nakliye hizmeti için üretiliyordu. İlk asansörün yolcu hizmeti için açıkça ne zaman kurulduğu belli değil, ancak muhtemelen 1857'de Otis'in New York'taki Broome Caddesi'ndeki Broadway'deki bir mağazaya bir asansör yerleştirdiği zamandı.

İç Savaşı izleyen on yılda, yüksek binalar yeni yeni ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştı; ve dünyanın büyük şehirlerinin siluetine hâlâ kilise kuleleri hâkim olsa da, insanların yanı sıra ticari eşyaların taşınmasına uyarlanan asansör aparatlarının geliştirilmesinde artan bir faaliyet vardı. Otel ve mağaza işletmecileri, müşterilerini makinelerle yerden bir veya iki kat yukarı kaldırarak elde edilecek ticari avantajların giderek farkına vardılar. Buhar motoru, erken asansör endüstrisinin temelini oluşturdu, ancak bina yükseklikleri arttıkça yerini yavaş yavaş hidrolik ve nihayetinde elektrikli sistemler aldı.

Bu alıntıya göre, artan buharlı asansör üretiminin altında yatan neden neydi?

yüksek binaların inşaatı
malzemeleri fabrikalarda taşıma ihtiyacı
Broadway'deki bir mağazadaki asansör
ticari avantajlar
