Read the following passage and then select the correct answer to the question below: THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS CHAPTER 1:

Thrill Cruise By Edmond Hamilton Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons. He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined! A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him. "What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper. "It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here." "The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?" "We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here." Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure. The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport. "That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it." "We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party." The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!" Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl." "Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed. With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city. The writer’s description of Lance Kenniston’s expression sets up
A) the idea that he is under a lot of stress because he wants something he can’t get
B) a reason to like him because he is described as an attractive, friendly person
C) the main suggestion that Lance Kenniston is a cruel person with evil intentions
D) a new problem to replace the one that appeared at the beginning of the passage

what is the appropriate balance between holding to your personal convictions while avoiding an undue level of judgmentalism
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The question above is a moral one.

In order to achieve a balance, we must become aware that the Author and Consitution that measures morality puts everyone on the same level.

That is, if one person lies, they are no different morally from one who steals.

This realisation that there is 'right' and 'wrong' and that there is one that administers over everyone to check the latter,  helps with conviction and checks one from being too quick to be others to judgement.

It's key to note that the good book makes it clear that a servant rises or falls before his Master and that with the same measure that one person judges another, shall he or she be judged.

Man at the best will always be imperfect. There are three stages of imperfection:

  1. Imperfect but getting worse
  2. Imperfect but just in-between
  3. Imperfect but getting better consistently

Cheers

Read the following excerpt from a journal article. "Leading experts on parenting believe that having clear rules and expectation
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Sentence A.

Explanation:

When using someone else's thoughts, ideas, sentences etc. in your work, it's necessary to avoid plagiarism, by properly quoting them.

There are basically two essential things to pay attention to:

- when paraphrasing someone one must put internal quotation just after the paraphrased piece of information. Internal quotation consists at least of the author's last name and page number from which the information was taken.

- when quoting someone (using his work word-by-word), the quoted content must be placed between quotation marks, followed by internal quotation.

Of course, regardless of the internal quotation, the proper citation must be provided at the end of the work, in the citation list.

So, with all this in mind, we can see that sentence A failed to obey these rules, which marks it as plagiarism.
