"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.

Answer:

The correct answers are the following

1. B - [S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.

2. A - I took one companion on my journey - an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.

3. D - To enterain people with the unusual sights.

Explanation:

One of the problems noted by John Steinbeck during his roadtrip was precisely that his fame made it almost impossible to move about and to know America at a personal level because he was widely recognized.

Steinbeck travelled with Charley, his wife's 10-year-old French poodle, which he decided to bring with him at the last minute.

In this travelogue, Steinbeck provides descriptions of gorgeous landscapes of America, the country he devoted to know on a personal level. The use of these descriptive elements presents the reader with an unusual sight that keeps him or her engaged with the book.

In at least one hundred words, define burlesque humor and cite at least one example of it from The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin
nydimaria [60]

Burlesque humor is a literary device which is used to cause laughter. This could be done in many ways: by caricaturing the serious topic or just treating the subjects ridiculously. In English, it has been used since 17th century. Early successful users of burlesque include Shakespeare, Cervantes and Chaucer.  

One example of burlesque in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Huck's attempt to rescue Jim after learning that he has been sold. The lines "All right then, I'll go to Hell to rescue Jim out of slavery" mention this event. The plan to save Jim is described in a literary manner which is known as burlesque. Tom's thoughts on escaping Jim and the humor alongside with it is a notable example.
