Answer:

Wilbur Wright looked to nature for inspiration in his flight engineering and had done so since he was a child.

Explanation:

The Wright Brothers, the inventor of building the world's first successful airplane, wrote letters to Smithsonian Institution while they were making the human flight possible.

On May 30, 1899, Wilbur Wright wrote the letter to the institution asserting that human flight is possible. He said that he has been observing birds since his childhood and interested in mechanical and human flights. He had made bats of different sizes since childhood especially after reading the stories of Cayley's and Penaud's machines.

Wilbur has looked to birds for the techniques of gymnastics, as they are the world's perfectly trained gymnasts.

Thus the 1899 letter concludes that Wilbur has looked to nature for inspiration and has done so since his childhood.

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised particles from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six’s science correspondent, Derwent University’s Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "It's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn’t miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. Ill is over the moon comes the dawn."
