Answer:

The Wright brothers  developed the idea of the Airplane in the bicycle shop when Wilbur squeezed an empty bicycle tube box flat and noticed that the flattened box is the same shape as a two-winged glider.

Explanation:

In "The wright Brothers: Air pioneers" by David white, Wilbur and Oville fascination about flight began when their father gave them a flying toy as presnt. They were interested in mechanical things and read about how machines work.

The idea for the aircraft was born in the bicycle shop. They used a bicycle chain as propeller on their plane. They also made large kites. And with persitence, They built a better glider which had a rudder to steer with and were able to fly more than 600 feet.

They also made an engine that would be able to power one of their gliders.

_____ is a characteristic of realism. honest portrayal exaggeration melodrama romanticized life experience
melisa1 [442]

The correct option is “honest portrayal”. Realism is an artistic style that emerged in the 19th century in France, especially in painting and writing. The main purpose of realism is to portray accurately real life and places. Realism is opposed to the Romantic movement so the option “romanticized life experience” is not a characteristic of realism. Exaggeration and melodrama are not related to Realism since it depicts reality in a detailed and honest perspective.

What do the following lines from the play Everyman refer to?
Serga [27]
<span>This play reveals a problem of comparing life and death. The part “the body lieth in clay” messages the reader about how the soul can ‘weep’ after the death because while a person were alive it succumbed to sweetness of several sins. In the last lines, The Messenger tells us that when you are dead, all things that make us happy and shape our personality just goes away and mean nothing. </span>

bonufazy [111]

Hello. You did not show the stage directions to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Stage directions are instructions from the author of a play about how the actors should act, move and what emotion or idea they must convey through the performance. In this case, it is only possible to know what the instructions indicate about the two characters, by reading these instructions. A stage direction, for example, can show that the actor must show nervousness, or distrust in a certain scene, which shows that the character behaves with nervousness and mistrust.

Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines? Both excerpts use alliteration as a sound device. Both exc
Lina20 [59]

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.
