Read the excerpt from Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Death by Black Hole.” As far as I know, nobody has ever been eaten by a black hole,

but there is compelling evidence to suggest that black holes in the universe routinely dine upon wayward stars and unsuspecting gas clouds. As a cloud approaches a black hole, it hardly ever falls straight in. Unlike your choreographed feet-first fall, a gas cloud is typically drawn into orbit before it spirals to its destruction. The parts of the cloud that are closer to the black hole will orbit faster than the parts that are farther away. Known as differential rotation, this simple shearing can have extraordinary astrophysical consequences. As the cloud layers spiral closer to the event horizon they heat up, from internal friction, to upwards of a million degrees— much hotter than any known star. The gas glows blue-hot as it becomes a copious source of ultraviolet and x-ray energy. What started as an isolated, invisible black hole (minding its own business) has now become an invisible black hole encircled by a gaseous speedway, ablaze with high-energy radiation.
 Which of the following suggestions would be most beneficial for a reader in order to gain a better understanding of the information presented in this excerpt?

(A)Skim encyclopedias to learn star names and locations.
 
(B)Review scientific journals explaining the various types of clouds.
 
(C)Read a variety of sources about the formation of black holes.

(D)Search web pages focused on personal encounters with black holes.

What is a central idea of the excerpt of "Paul Revere's Ride"? How does the structure of the poem help to develop this central i
mars1129 [50]
<span>The central idea of this excerpt is that Revere traveled through several towns to spread the word that the British were on their way. It takes us through his actions and the ensuing events as if we are reading it in real time. The structure supports these concepts due to its repetition of the time. It begins the first stanza with "It was twelve by the village clock," then begins the second stanza with "It was one by the village clock," etc. This builds suspense for his ride, and gives us an overview of how long this ride actually took. </span>

Arthur Miller's script for The Crucible begins with a dramatic exposition that explains that Parris "cut a villainous path, and
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The sentence that describes the best impact of the audio performance's departure from the script is:

A. Instead of telling the audience directly, the audio performance lets the audience infer that Parris is a bad man

Explanation:

The reasons behind this asnwer are the following:

First of all, the script doesn't tell the actor how to play the part of Parris in this scene. It only communicates the event. So b) is incorrect. Now, the script intention is not to dislike or like, it is to tell a story. Otherwise, it would be an opinion not a script. So c) is incorrect. Then, d) could be a very good option. But again. the script doesn't' look to make a judgment but to tell a story.

Read the excerpt from "The Role of Social Media in the Arab Uprisings" by Heather Brown, Emily Guskin, and Amy Mitchell. In July
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Research related to the popular use of social media in Egypt.

A statistic supporting the claim that social media use in Egypt is not widespread.

Widespread testimony about how social media use has changed in Egypt.

Explanation:

These are the three options that explain the types of evidence that the authors used in this excerpt.

First, the authors talk about the popular use of social media in Egypt when they argue that the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project has looked at this information.

Second, the authors employ a statistic that supports the fact that social media is not widespread when they say that 65% of people do not use the Internet.

Finally, the authors use widespread testimony when they argue that most people who are online use social media to learn about the political situation in their country.

However, the authors never talk about how social media changed after the Arab Spring.
