English

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.

What is one disadvantage of using a poster to present the information in “Stop Germs! Wash Your Hands”?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

See explanation!

Explanation:

A disadvantage of using a poster would that it may, potentially, go unnoticed. For example, if a poster was hung up in the busy halls of a school, the students may not take the time to study it because they are in a hurry to get to class.

Furthermore, most handwashing education takes place among younger children,  typically kindergarteners or 1st graders. If a poster was hung up in an elementary school with the goal of educating the younger kids, it may fail because many younger children do not know how to read yet. Hope this helps!

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?
Anton [14]

Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.

The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip, the absence of brow ridges, the absence of a chin beneath the wedgelike lower lip, the incessant quivering of this mouth, the Gorgon groups of tentacles, the tumultuous breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere, the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth—above all, the extraordinary intensity of the immense eyes—were at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous. There was something fungoid in the oily brown skin, something in the clumsy deliberation of the tedious movements unspeakably nasty.

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?

A) He provides quotes from experts.
B) He shares data about the creature.
C) He appeals to the reader's beliefs.
D) He uses detailed physical description.

Answer: D) He uses detailed physical description.

Answer:

I'm not sure what you're wanting but I didn't sleep good would have sounded better with I didn't sleep well no word immediately is spelled wrong it should be I let another hour pass The word quick is in the wrong place shower quickly would be more appropriate The word early does not belong there should not be an explanation mark after headache when I finally arrived would be more appropriate there is no such word as worser it is just plain worse also I don't think I should have an exclamation mark unless they're stressing those two sentences then it would be appropriate as far as the commas go there are a couple misplaced or added extra but I'm not really sure which ones.
