<span>General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing Thanksgiving dinner for twenty.

This is the best example of irony. The excerpt describes General Barker, who occupies a traditionally very masculine profession, preparing for the demonstration of the most destructive weapon in the history of mankind as if he were a woman bustling about the house preparing Thanksgiving dinner. This juxtaposition creates a sense of irony. </span>

2. List five objects that produce waves with a large amplitude and five that produce waves
Arada [10]

The objects that produce large amplitude waves are Stars, Large machines, Rocks falling from the mountain, Earthquakes, Volcanoes

The objects producing small amplitude waves include ping-pong ball, Tuning fork, stones, Speakers, Spring

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wave's amplitude is characterised by the ultimate displacement of an object from its median position. Generally, wave with high energy (or the waves emanating from big bodies or high energy bodies) are high amplitude waves. Since the body has a high amount of energy, it produces a comparatively large amount of displacement of the particle. hence the high amplitude.

Similarly, small bodies or bodies with less energy produces a low amplitude wave. This also can be understood in terms of displacement of the particle from its mean position.

Write a Summary of approximately 80/90 words of the following passage:
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Dolphins are the friendliest sea creatures.  They help sailors who are drowning.  They too live in a complex society.  Furthermore, they behave like humans.  For example, dolphins care for sick dolphins.  They care for their pregnant mothers and protect the weak.  Scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language, perhaps a sign language.  These remarkable mammals may be more intelligent than man.  Man only claims superiority over them because we can kill them more than they can kill us.

Explanation:

A summary of a passage is the reduction of a passage without the loss of the main ideas or the themes.  Needless and irrelevant details are omitted in a summary.  A summary is a brief or shorter version of a longer story, which highlights the main ideas.
