The first two lines in this excerpt from "A Grain of Sand" by Frances Ellen Watkins indicate its subject, which is the very grain of sand. In the first line it is mentioned explicitly, whereas in the second one it is replaced with the third person singular pronoun <em>it</em>: "Do you know to me it (the grain of sand) brought just a simple loving thought?". It is a quite common resource for authors, since the use of pronouns prevent poems, as well as other kinds of literary and non-literary works, from being repetitive, that is, pronouns help authors avoid using the same word or term over and over again.

Choose one of these two themes: “Strangers can act heroically” or “Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs.” Write a par
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Strangers can act heroically because the heroic personality not only in sport but in others spheres of daily life provides the subject with the exceptional nature denied them in his daily work logic. Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs, because journalism is spoken of as a high-risk profession since, the journalist understands that the truth, although it may affect images of politicians and powerful people, must be counted as the only means of confronting phenomena rooted in society, such as corruption and tyrannies.

Explanation:

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers  and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.

According to tyson, what two ideas did people once think were impossible, even though they do not defy any laws of physics
kakasveta [241]

Two ideas that people once thought imposible even if they didnt violate laws of physics were-

  • Idea of human flying
  • Idea of breaking the sonic barrier

Explanation:

Neil Tyson says that the idea of flying and breaking of the sonic barrier was earlier considered impossible, even if they did not specifically violate any laws of Physics.

The idea of flying had grown as an envy component in humans on seeing birds fly. Kelvin in his essay had argued for a machine that could fly and was heavier than air.

Similarly, the idea of breaking the Sonic boom was earlier considered to be impossible, but no physics law prevented it from happening. E.g. The bullets fired from the guns were travelling at a rate faster than the speed of the sound. However, after the Bell aircraft broke the sonic barrier, it was widely believed that the barrier can be broken.
