Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "satire" as "a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order to make a political point, or a piece of writing that uses this style."

The following phrase from the passage best helps the reader to identify the passage as a satire :

He has been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers.

This passage has been taken from part three of Gulliver's Travels. It is a satire based on the Royal Society's scientific and experimental approach at the time of the publication of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels."

Answer:

The idea unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments is Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity  adapted from the National Park Service  paved the way for  theories about  electricity.

Explanation:

The Statement that Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired  study its properties is true because he started studying the properties of electricity in 1746 and devoted more time to it after retiring in 1788. He conducted his famous kite experiment in June 1752. Also, the statement that he never patented any of his inventions is also true and is supported by authors arguments. Franklin's influence in the early history of the United States has led people to call him "the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States". He is largely self educated because though he attended the school he did not graduate, but continued his education through voracious reading.

Use the drop-down menus to indicate whether each sentence is in the subjunctive mood. I would go for a walk, if it were not rain
Vika [28.1K]
Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form <em>weren't </em>used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining

2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form <em>continued is </em>is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>something happened, but it didn't.

3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.

4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach <em>wishes </em>something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do. 

With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.
