"How the Internet and Other Technologies Came About" is a document written by Michio Kaku as part of his bigger book: "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century", which was published in 1998. The book in general is an exposition by Kaku on the different technological advances that have happened in recent history and that have changed the way things work in the 20th century. He also reflects on how specific areas of science and technology have particularly affected life, like quantum mechanics, artifical intelligence, and others. In this specific excerpt, present in page 46, Kaku is reflecting and speaking about virtual reality and how this particular technological advancement changed the world. He also explains how virtual reality came about, its origin, the reasons for its discovery and success, and its original purpose. The correct answer here then, the most accurate summary to Kaku´s argument would be: that virtual reality started as a tool that was created by the Pentagon as a means to help prepare pilots for a nuclear war.

Radda [10]

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

Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.

Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______

A) few survived the horrific train ride.

B) the author and his father were safe.

C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.

D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.

Answer:

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.

Explanation:

This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a  flawed and brutal system.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.

In the given excerpt from chapter 10 from “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, we see Mr. Pilkington give a speech about how much he and his human friends have regarded the way Animal Farm was run by Napoleon. He is seen praising the brutal system that was the basis of how the farm was run and also promised that he along with his fellow humans will institute the same system in their own farms. And through his speech,<u> we as readers, know that Mr. Pilkington was praising a system that is both brutal and flawed. </u>
