"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.

Which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe best show that the speaker is still haunted by the
Alex_Xolod [135]
Are these the lines you were referring to?

<span>1)Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore 

2)This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core

3)But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore

4)Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor

5)Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"

The answer would then be 3 and 5.

The lines of choice 3 is referring to the velvet violet lining of the cushion where Lenore used to sit. He remembers that Lenore will no longer sit on that cushion again. 

The lines of choice 5 on the other hand refers to the part where he was having delusions. The imaginary smell he supposed was nepenthe, which in mythology was a drink or a potion that helps one forget. He claimed it must be a scent sent by God to help him forget Lenore.
