In "Feathered Friend," why does the alarm fail? What are

English
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]2 years ago
8 0

When it comes to the alarm failure and the canary in "Feathered Friend," we can answer the questions in the following manner:

  1. The first alarm does not go off and the back-up alarm had not been connected just yet.
  2. Some potential problems with using a canary rather than an electronic alarm are: The canary may die for some natural reason, which will lead people to think there is something wrong with the air. Also, people may be far away and not see the fainted canary, whereas they would still hear an electronic alarm.
  3. (This is a an example of a personal opinion) Both can be reliable, but also both can have problems. Canaries have been used in underground mines and helped save people lives for centuries. Electronic alarms are usually efficient, but a problem with the circuit may lead to malfunction.

<h3>What happens in "Feathered Friend"?</h3>

In the story, Sven brings a canary with him to the space station. He wants to see the effects of low gravity on the bird. However, the bird ends up saving everyone's lives.

Sven notices the bird has fainted, and he has knowledge of canaries being used in mines to alert workers about the quality of the air. He quickly assumes there is not enough oxygen.

It turns out that their electronic alarm <u>failed</u> to go off for some reason. Had Sven not brought the bird with him, the crew would have died due to lack of oxygen.

Which of the following sentences is a declarative sentence? What will they think of next? We live in an amazing time. I simply a
oee [108]
There are four types of sentences.  I'll list them below.

Interrogative sentences are questions: statements that end in a question mark (?).  "What will they think of next?" is an interrogative sentence, as you can see from the question mark, so we can rule this one out.

Exclamatory sentences are statements that end in an exclamation point (!).  "I simply adore cheese!" is one, because of its exclamation point, so this one isn't declarative either.

Now, things get a little trickier.  There are two types of sentences that end in a period (.): imperative and declarative sentences.

Imperative sentences are commands--telling someone to do something.  Which is imperative?  "Please tidy your room."  "We live in an amazing time."  Obviously, "Please tidy your room" is an order, and so is imperative.

The only sentence left is "We live in an amazing time."  This has to be a declarative sentence, which is simply a statement that ends in a period.  This is a statement, and it ends in a period, so this sentence is a declarative sentence.

Answer: We live in an amazing time.
