Read the excerpt from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity."


It was a thrilling time to be a scientist. The year the Curies were married, 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered a new kind of ray that could be used to “see” inside people and photograph their bones. He called them X rays. The X stood for “unknown.”


Not long after, the French physicist Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium let out another type of ray. These rays were weak compared to X rays, and even Becquerel himself did not think his discovery of much importance. But Marie found the rays fascinating. Where did they come from? How were they produced? She decided to examine these mysterious “Becquerel rays” for her advanced research.

Question:
What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Wilhelm Roentgen and Henri Becquerel in "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity"?

how is the book The Hunger Games

Answers

Answer:

If you are asking for academic purposes: it is the first book in a series of 3, in which the main character and narrator, Katniss Everdeen, volunteers to take her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games. She faces extreme trauma and makes new friends and new enemies along the way.

If you are asking for personal reasons: IT'S AWESOME BRO, 10/10 recommend. Loved it. You need to be able to handle gore and a certain extend of psychological horror tho (it's not too bad, I thought it was fine even though I am sensitive to such content).

You've looked at several different elements of colonial life: the experiences of women and people of African descent, people's demand for a greater voice in government, and a widespread interest in religion.
Which of these elements most reminds you of American life today? Put another way, what elements of today's American culture remind you of the country's colonial past? Write a paragraph that explains your choice, and be specific about why you see this similarity.

Answers

Answer:

In the United States, a large portion of the population is deeply religious, and this has a colonial origin, since an important percentage of the people who immigrated to the U.S. in the colonial period were part of religious miniorities like the quakers, the pilgrims, or the presbyterians.

In the United States, African Americans are still poorer in comparison with White Americans, and part of the reason is the legacy of slavery.

Since African Americans could not own property in colonial times (they were themselves considered to be property), they have had less time to accumulate wealth than their European-descent counterparts.

Explanation:

Write how you think the colonial life back then is similar to our life today.

Refer to "Zlateh the Goat" in the anthology.

Read the excerpt from "Zlateh the Goat."

Even though Zlateh had her own pen, she often came to the kitchen, knocking on the door with her horns to indicate that she was ready to visit, and she was always admitted. In the evening Aaron, Miriam, and Anna played dreidel. Zlateh sat near the stove watching the children and the flickering of the Hanukkah candles.

How does this excerpt develop the setting of the story?


It informs the reader of the activities the children do in their house.

It emphasizes the safety and comfort of Aaron's house.

It shows that the family now love Zlateh enough to let her into the house.

It implies that the house is warmer than Zlateh's pen.

A note from a French army officer accompanied the package. He told the scholars that the stone had been unearthed in an old fort near the town of Rosetta, thirty-five miles north of Alexandria. French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab. The top right and left corners were missing, as was the bottom right corner. The soldiers had gone over the rest of the wall carefully in hopes of finding the missing pieces embedded in it, but with no luck.

—The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone,
James Cross Giblin

According to the passage, what caused the Rosetta Stone to be unearthed?

1. A note led the soldiers to the spot.
2. Three corners were missing from the slab.
3. The soldiers went over the wall carefully.
4. The wall was ruined and was being torn down.

Answers

The statement which accurately describes a cause-and-effect relationship described in this excerpt is:

C. Because the French soldiers are tearing down a ruined wall in a fort, they discover the Rosetta Stone.

A relationship of cause and effect implies that we have two events. One event is the consequence of the other or, if we invert the reasoning, one event causes the other.

In the paragraph, we do not know the relationship between Napoleon's departure and the French army's decision to stay. The author does not make it clear.

However, the relationship between the discovery of the stone and the wall in a fort is made clear in the following excerpt:

". . . the stone had been unearthed in an old fort neat the town of Rosetta. . . French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab."

Thus, the relationship is clear: 1. the tearing down of the wall. 2. coming across the stone.

In conclusion, finding the stone is the consequence of tearing down the wall. Tearing down the wall is the cause of finding the stone. Letter C is the correct option.
