Two ideas that people once thought imposible even if they didnt violate laws of physics were-
- Idea of human flying
- Idea of breaking the sonic barrier
Explanation:
Neil Tyson says that the idea of flying and breaking of the sonic barrier was earlier considered impossible, even if they did not specifically violate any laws of Physics.
The idea of flying had grown as an envy component in humans on seeing birds fly. Kelvin in his essay had argued for a machine that could fly and was heavier than air.
Similarly, the idea of breaking the Sonic boom was earlier considered to be impossible, but no physics law prevented it from happening. E.g. The bullets fired from the guns were travelling at a rate faster than the speed of the sound. However, after the Bell aircraft broke the sonic barrier, it was widely believed that the barrier can be broken.
<span>D. Arsat’s brother was holding their pursuers off with a gun.
According to the excerpt the brother wanted Arsat to continue on so he could keep the people away. He says that they do not have a gun and they'd be intimidated. He says that once he has "fired all the shots" he will catch up since he's a strong runner.

These sentences contains a pronoun shift:
1)T<span>eenagers often want more freedom, but you need to show that you are responsible.
</span><span>
2) If a student wishes to go on the field trip, they must bring in a permission slip.
</span><span>
The first sentence starts in third person (teenagers) and midway shifts to second person (you), indicating a pronoun change.
The second sentence starts in third person singular (a student) and shifts to third person plural (they), indicating a pronoun change.
Pronoun shifts are best avoided in writing since they are confusing for the reader and interrupt the flow of writing.</span>
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Let's use the elimination process. It would not be A because research is not opinions, it is facts. It would not be B because that answer is simply absurd. It would not be D because that also makes no sense. So its C.
I am pretty sure about the second excerpt, it directly shows gods' involvement in mortal affairs
Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."
And I believe that the next correct answer is
“But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”
