Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.” And the Rat of the Moon stopped biting the line; and the Fisherman le

t his line down till it touched the Sea, and he pulled the whole deep Sea along, past the Island of Bintang, past Singapore, past Malacca, past Selangor, till the canoe whirled into the mouth of the Perak River again. ‘Kun?’ said the Fisherman of the Moon. ‘Payah kun,’ said the Eldest Magician. ‘See now that you pull the Sea twice a day and twice a night for ever, so that the Malazy fishermen may be saved paddling. But be careful not to do it too hard, or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma.’ Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed, Best Beloved. Based on the details in the excerpt, what is its primary purpose? to explain to children that the moon causes the tides to warn fishers to avoid pulling too hard on their lines to entertain children with a joke about a rat and a fisherman to inform fishers about when it is easiest to sail on the Perak River

Nikolay [14]

The correct answer is redress.

Redressing is a process in which an individual tries to get the ruling of a previous court case changed. This process involves a system of appeals, with the Supreme Court being the highest court of appeals in the country. Any ruling that results from a Supreme Court trumps any state law currently in place. This is because the Supreme Court is the most powerful court in the United States of America.

If Mr. Smith won his case, it would set a new precedent (example) in the United States.

Describe the development of the atomic bomb. Why were even the scientists who worked on the program skeptical about its effectiv
Norma-Jean [14]
It varies from country but I’ll focus on the US because they actually developed it first. It was a long and tedious process. This was all completely new and everything was theoretical. There were several small scale tests that were done at first that proved that it would be possible. The first bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima was made from uranium. The process of refining the uranium to make the bomb took a very long time especially because the ordinary factory workers that refined it didn’t actually know what they were doing. The second bomb that was made out of plutonium and would be dropped on Nagasaki was much quicker to produce but much harder to find plutonium to use. The majority of the scientists that spearheaded the bomb in Las Almos New Mexico didn’t even know exactly what they were making. They all worked on separate projects and then a few of the top scientists like Robert Oppenheimer would focus on assembling the various projects into an actual working bomb. In summary it was an incredibly secret project and took a very long time because it was something that had never been done before. The scientists who worked on it were skeptical because at first they thought of it just as an experiment and a scientific breakthrough. Then when the first test happened and it was revealed what this bomb could really do the scientists truly realized what they had created. It did so much damage and because of that they started to become skeptical of their creation. It would kill (and did) millions. As Oppenheimer would later put it after the bombing of Hiroshima to president Truman, “I have the blood of millions on my hands.”

Anyway I hope this helped. If this is for a school and you just need an answer that’s fine but if you are interested about this in general I recommend “Bomb” by Steve Shienken. It’s a good book and very factual and interesting.
