Answer:

Hello there! I can see where this passage may have caused confusion. It stumped me for a little bit, but I have reached a conclusion.

Explanation:

The answer is C. 1. Newton developed his laws of gravity, 2. Einstein developed his explanation of gravity, 3. Scientists predicted black holes.

If you're wondering why, it's simple. In the second paragraph, it states "Glitches like this one were the reason Einstein worked so hard at coming up with a new explanation." Meaning, Einstein tried to come up with a more acceptable explanation for gravity because Newton's law had a few flaws. Therefore, the answer is C. Hope this provides you with the help you needed!

Have a great rest of your day!

What is a quote from Phenomenal Woman that uses irony?
shusha [124]

Answer:

"The span of my hips",

"The flash of my teeth",

"The swing of my waist",

"The stride of my breasts".

Explanation:

The poem "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou is a poem about a woman confident of her looks and doesn't care about what other people may think or say. She is happy with herself, contented and confident of her own uniqueness.

Irony is a literary figure of speech where what is said differs from what is actually meant. The actual meaning of the thing meant is opposite to how it was said. She uses irony in the poem to assert the fact that beauty is just skin deep, no matter what the perception may be. By refuting the theory that beautiful women are born in a specific way, she asserts that all women are beautiful in their own ways. They just need the confidence to accept that. Contrasting to the normal norms of  beautiful woman being fair skinned and tall and thin, Maya exclaims that she, even though an African-American, is beautiful too. This is seen in the lines <em>"The span of my hips", "the flash of my teeth", "the swing of my waist", "the stride of my breasts" </em>etc. She is confidently refuting the perception of a beautiful woman as a thin, tall, fair body.

What are Hamlet's contemplations perhaps a foretelling of?
vampirchik [111]

The Tragedy of Hamlet, better known as just Hamlet, a play by William Shakespeare sometime around 1599 and 1602, tells about the inner battle that Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, must face when he has to choose between avenging the death of his father against his uncle Claudius, who has killed his father and married his mother, thus usurping the throne, or not doing anything. In essence, the fear of death, the question of whether revenge is worth facing, the question of suicide and its consequences, and the question itself of the consequences of revenge and of killing, mix together in a soliloquy that arises after Hamlet comes face to face with the ghost of his deceased father, who is demanding revenge by him. Hamlet, agrees with his father´s ghost to kill his uncle and starts to create a secret plan to exact his revenge while acting is if he has gone mad. Even if in the end what comes out from the contemplations is an evidence of the fear Hamlet has regarding killing someone and even contemplating suicide and the consequences of such an act, the truth is that all of this shows Hamlet´s desire and final decision to exact revenge against his uncle for the death of his father. This is why the correct answer would be C.
