The detail that provides the most cultural context from the excerpt about the Cold War is the following: <em>There was also a sense of urgency. The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States. </em>That phrase gives the most cultural context reference about the Cold War as there was a constant tension between both powers. There were plenty of different possible scenarios in which either of them would win over the other one, including a possible nuclear war. The sensation of uncertainty was reigning through the Cold War era.

This excerpt belongs to the book called "Visions: how Science will revolutionize the 21st Century" written by American theoretical physicist Michio Kaku and first published in 1997.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

C). To mock him as weak.

Explanation:

The purpose behind singing about King George III as the 'island queen' in 'Revolutionary Tea' is that the poet is willing 'to mock at his cruelty of putting 'three-penny' tax on the daily use items like 'tea' despite being rich and powerful('full of gold').

The motorcycle police were a coat of armor as they escorted buses bringing black students home from South Boston High School. Th
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The metaphor "were a coat of armor"highlights the protection black students needed during the school integration

Explanation:

A metaphor typically is used as a figure of speech to pass expression in a statement. Such expressions when considered on the surface do not speak to the issue on ground but do have implied meanings and can be easily interpreted.

An example used alot by teenagers in school is "the test was a breeze". Breeze and test obviously don't go hand in hand, but breeze in this instance gives expression to '"ease, simple, not a problem" about the test.

And in this question, we see the 70s and periods before then was a tense one for black integration. The opposition against the integration of the Blacks was obvious thus the court demanded some level of protection. The Police being drafted in to take on that responsibility was a great confidence booster that minimized the fear faced by Black students; hence that protective layer from the police can be described as a coat of armor. Remember a coat of armor is steel and Iron, it repels pellets, sword attacks and rocks hauled at it.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is The author believes Diane France’s work in making bone casts has helped many scientists, and she writes to give details about her experiences.

Explanation:

   What the author tries to express in this excerpt is to agree with the work of Diane France.

While it may seem a bit crude to display soldiers' bones (even if they are made of plastic), this work can help a lot to know what has happened to those bodies, who has attacked them, and even allows people to better empathize with the story of wars.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is The author believes Diane France's work in her making bone casts has helped many scientists, and she writes to give details about her experiences.

Which lines in this excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" suggest that the speaker is concerned about
allochka39001 [22]

On Plato, the answer is *There will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces you meet.* and *They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"etc...*

This is because he is imagining what they are going to say to him, giving off a feeling of self-doubt.
