-Would the Wright brothers’ first powered airplane have been successful if they had chosen other materials?

This is the best revision of the research question because it provides an avenue for exploration rather than just asking a simple question that can be answered in a single sentence. Included in this question would be the answer to her first question, because you cannot determine if other materials would have been better unless you know the materials that were actually used, but it also allows for interpretation and in depth analysis too.

Allie considered it carefully, and ______ decided to train for the marathon herself. Which type of pronoun would best complete t

g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. subjective.

In order to complete this sentence, you need to use a subjective pronoun. That pronoun would be SHE, as in - '... she decided to train for the marathon herself.' An objective pronoun would be HER, which is obviously incorrect. An intensive and a reflexive pronouns look the same - HERSELF. As a matter of fact, there is an intensive pronoun in the sentence above - the last word.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt? It is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

tatiyna

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.

c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.

d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.

Answer:

The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be absurd. We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.

Write an argumentative essay for or against using public money to maintain national landmarks, such as the gateway Arch in St. L

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A conclusion that is in favour:

"Using public money to maintain national landmarks is a good policy in the sense that a national landmark is a public good: no one can be excluded from enjoying the view of a national landmark like the Arch in St. Louis for example.

Because they are public goods, national landmarks are not likely to be profitable or provided by the private sector in a free market, and for this reason, government intervention in the form of public money becomes necessary".

Read this short speech. Patriotism is often taught through school routines. Young Americans may stand to say, “I Pledge allegian

lara [203]

A. Recall a familiar text.

An allusion is a reference to another published work. In this case, the allusion is to the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of the just saying the name of the text, the author alludes to it by quoting the first line. For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.
