Question

MEDALL FANNN

Read the following sentences:

"'The King's business never waits!' thundered Yi Chin Ho. 'Come apart with me, and swiftly. I have an affair of moment to discuss with you.'"

Based on the context of this text, what would be the best replacement for "come apart with me"?

Fall to pieces

Go somewhere private

Move further away

Start being more agreeable

Answer 1

If you had to guess, what would you say?

Answer 2

C

Answer 3

That's really close. When it says "I have an affair of the moment to discuss with you," it implies by the word "affair" that it's a private matter. Based on the word usage, I would say B is more accurate.

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 17

Kennedy states that "the exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not"

How does this text support Kennedy's point of view?

It reminds listeners we must hurry to begin exploring space.

It proposes that we ask other nations to join our mission.

It explains that we need to make progress in space exploration so we are not left behind.

It calls for collaboration between scientists and citizens.

Answer 18

A?

Answer 19

C. It explains that space exploration will go on even if we don't go with it. This implies that the space age will be advanced by other countries even if the US isn't updated on it. So, it's saying that we should make progress so we can be up to date on the space age.

Answer 23

Okay, well, first rule out the run on sentences. Which are??? (take a guess at which ones are run on's and use process of elimination.)

Answer 24

could we rule out B?

Answer 25

Yes. You can rule out 2 more.

Answer 26

would it be C

Answer 27

to rule out or to choose as the answer?

Answer 28

to chose the answer

Answer 29

Not quite. It's a run on. There are two sentences there without the use of proper punctuation to separate them. When you separate two sentences, you have to either use an end mark (exclamation point, period, or question mark) or a semi colon if the two sentences are related to one another. Based on that information, which one do you think it is?

Answer 30

D

Answer 31

the only time you can use a comma to separate two sentences is if there is a conjunction also. Such as "John went to school, but he had to come back early." Yes, it's D.

Answer 32

(MC)

A writer wants to develop an argument on the following issue:

People have become too dependent on technology.

Which answer offers the most logical argumentative claim on this issue?

With all that technology has to offer, it is not surprising that we cannot live without it.
Technology offers a great many benefits to humankind, and no one should tell us how to use it.

While technology has become a necessary part of our lives, we need to balance its use with our human ability to solve problems.

Given our dependence on technology, it's no wonder we have lost the ability to do simple tasks like adding and subtracting.

Question 12 (Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)

Excerpt of President John Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon Speach September 12, 1962:

William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.

If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space.

Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and in industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5.4 billion a year—a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United Stated, for we have given this program a high national priority—even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.

But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun, then we must be bold.

However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the term of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."

Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
