Q2.Make a précis (along with a rough draft) of the following passage in no less than 40 words. Write down the word count for you

r rough draft as well as the précis and give a suitable title to it.
‘‘Edison”, said the General, ‘how much do you want for your “Universal Printer?” This was a very important moment. Edison thought that five thousand dollars would be a suitable price, but he was ready to take three thousand or even less.
Luckily for him he decided that it might be better to leave the matter to the general and asked him what he thought would be the right price. “Would forty thousand dollars suit you?” asked the General.
Edison was so astonished and excited that he almost felt his heart stop beating. At last he said thoughtfully, “yes I think that is fair.” ‘All right,’ said the general, ‘I will have an agreement drawn up; come round in three days and I will give you the money.’ (Word Count 127)

Should Katniss have intervened when the girl was taken by the hovercraft? Why or why no?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Katniss should not intervene when the girl is taken. Think of it this way; if Katniss had intervened, would she have survived? Or would there have been more than one casualty? Acknowledging that the morally sound answer would be yes, we should consider the logical information that Katniss more than likely wouldn't have made it out of that situation in one piece. The capitol is very aggressive and would not hesitate to execute Katniss for rebelling.

How does the final sentence of the article contribute to the meaning of the text?: "We bet nobody's gotten into a fight while wa
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The final sentence contributes to the end o the article to show we might have fun by doing something one way instead of the other and that we don't know we can enjoy it before doing it.

Explanation:

The sentences are used to point out that sometimes we act based on someone else's thoughts or opinions, and that might be not true. Also, sometimes we can find incredible experiences by trying to achieve our objectives by doing one action instead of others. That there is an infinite amount of probability we can't perceive what could be of value because we have not experienced it.

Drag each tile to the correct location. Not all tiles will be used.
natulia [17]

Answer: "great, grey, stone wall", ''Sour smelling cement''

Explanation:

If we are trying to connect both the Berlin Wall picture and Inge's Wall (literary artwork) we must be aware of the story in that Inge's Wall is representing.

Inge's Wall story: In Inge's Wall, there is one wall with two sides, one side is unattainable and alive, unlike the other side where the main character Inge is living. Her side is grey, without color and lifeless. She discovered the bright side when she looked up through the one hole that she found on that wall and then she saw a different world, opposite of her own.

  • If we compare the phrases with the picture, we can see that the wall is great, grey and from the stone and sour smelling cement because that was her point of view in the novel.

Since we cannot see much more, we cannot tell if there are busy traffic or laughter and music on the other side of the wall.
