Answer: Question 1: B. Question 2: C. Question 3: A.
Explanation:
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.
There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.
One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.
Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.
Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
The answer is the struggle between realistic and supernatural elements
12, you would have 12 half size pie pieces because 1 pie broke in half is 2 half pie pieces therefore if you have 6 pies you cut them all in half and you have 12 half pie pieces.
