Answer:
Hi! The correct order of the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in <em>The Evolution of Useful Things</em> is: 3,4,1,2. <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
I chose the third option (3,4,1,2) because, according to the text, the chronological order for the things that led Art Fry's creation are:
- Spencer Silver came upon a curious adhesive that he demonstrated to Fry.
- Fry reflected on the failure of bookmarks to do all that might be expected of them.
- Fry spent nearly a year and a half experimenting.
- Fry's idea was accepted as being commercially viable.
Besides the way in which these events were described by the author, and if you think about it, it <u>is pretty logical</u> the way this happened. Usually, we come up with ideas when we are complaining about the lack of a thing that would be useful in certain moments. If you think about it, this is also what happened here. The last step of the process is always the commercial viability just as in this case.
This question is from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Explanation:
- Tom finds a new boy, Alfred who is well dressed and looks arrogant. He picks up a quarrel with him saying if he could lick him up. In the beginning it might seem humorous but it eventually leads to a fight between the boys.
- Tom win's the fight and Alfred walks home crying. Once when Tom's back is turned, Alfred throws stone on Tom. Tom chases the Alfred and waits outside his house.
- The fight is to be considered something serious because there was no point except showing once dominance over the other.
In these lines, we see that Antinous was rude to Odysseus because he was disguised as a beggar. Everyone, including the suitors, believe this to be a bad action. Odysseus does so as well, and in these lines he reproaches Antinous. He tells us that the beggar is only there out of hunger, and that many men have crossed oceans due to hunger. He also hopes that Antinous dies soon.
The best prediction of what will become of Antinous is that he will probably die first, as Odysseus is planning to kill all the suitors and he has now wished he was dead. The detail that supports this prediction is the statement "<em>if there are Furies pent in the dark to avenge a poor man's wrong, then may Antinous meet his death before his wedding day!</em>"
Answer:
The new clients are not responding to our new product the way we had hoped. frankly, I'm hardly beside myself with last month's sales.
Explanation:
First, we must understand the context before we can choose an appropriate answer. <u>The speaker is talking about something bad: customers not responding (not buying) the new product. He/She also mentions that last month's sales have already been bad.</u> This context, therefore, asks for an idiom that conveys a negative idea.
We can eliminate options A and C, since they both convey a positive feeling. We are left with options B and D. Option D, down in the dumps, means sad. <u>Option B, beside myself, means shocked or upset. The speaker is saying he/she is hardly... because of last month's sales. In that case, the best option is B. beside myself. What the speaker means is that, because last month was so bad, he/she is not even surprised or shocked to see the current response to the new product.</u>
