"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.

Read this example of incorrect sentence structure. Winter is coming I need a new coat. Which revisions best correct the sentence
telo118 [61]

Winter is coming; I need a new coat.

Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.

Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.

The sentence structure of the original sentence is wrong because it is a run on sentence. The sentence has two complete thoughts/ideas without the proper punctuation between them. The first complete thought is "Winter is coming". The second complete thought is "I need a new coat." These need to either be joined with a semicolon or a comma and conjunction. The first answer uses the semicolon to join the two complete ideas into a compound sentence. The second correct answer uses a comma and conjunction, so, to join the two complete ideas. The last correct answer creates a dependent clause by beginning the sentence with "because". Then the comma shows the separation between the dependent clause and the independent clause.

Which line in this excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" emphasizes consonance?
grandymaker [24]

Line in this excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" that emphasizes consonance is

Because my leaves are of it

Explanation:

The poem "Lilacs' employs consonance liberally throughout the poem and almost every line has an example due to the refrain of the phrases that is present in the poem, first through 'new England' and then through the phrase of 'are in it'

Consonance is the use of consonant sounds that are similar in close proximity to each other. This is evident in the given line which has almost all the same sounds which is the sound of 'cause' and 'leav' that repeat twice in the line of 7 syllables.
