We hiccup for many different reasons. <u>The main reason is when our diaphragm is irritated.</u> Whether this is caused by a carbonated drink, eating too quickly, or something else, we hiccup when our diaphragm sucks in bursts of air quickly.

There are many different "ways" of how to stop hiccups from holding your breath to drinking cold water. There is no proven method to stop hiccups, you just have to wait them out. If they last longer than 2 days you should visit a doctor as something else may be wrong.

Have a nice day!

Question 3 (1 point)
lesantik [10]

Answer:

<em>"Similar."</em>

Explanation:

In the given passage, a cup of strong and weak coffee is compared based on their effect and caffeine content. And in the two sentences, even though it is a comparison transition between a strong and weak coffee, the transition word used is "similar".

In both the sentences, the physical effects of coffee are compared, with the same result- <em>"80 milligrams of caffeine or enough to boost a heart rate and blood pressure." </em>This means that both a weak and strong cup of coffee have the same physical impact on a person.

Thus, the comparison transition used is "similar".

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The narrator's habit of looking out the window suggests that they long for something different or missing in their life.

Explanation:

This main detail about the narrator and the supporting details in the passage shows that the family might be longing for the life they used to have before such as life at Terra before going to Mars. According to the narrator, his imaginations run wild while looking out of the window. Though little, compared to the others she might have imagined life in Terra.

The sentence in paragraph 7; "Sometimes I wish I got to grow up in Terra and get bigger" supports the idea that the family might have longed for something different or missing in their life.
