Question

Which of the following lines from Roosevelt’s speech is an example of pathos?
I have called for personal sacrifice. I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call.
The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

Answer 1

@XeNoN

Answer 2

Pathos evokes sympathy or sadness.

Which one of these are you sympathetic with?

Answer 3

d?

Answer 4

Mmm, yeah, I would agree.
Tyranny and bombs evoke sadness, I would say.

Answer 5

ok you know the paragraph about aliens and humans?

Answer 6

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.


this

Answer 7

Ah, yes... What about it?

Answer 9

They think they know everything.
They are unwilling to help others.
They are scientifically advanced.

this is the first set

Answer 10

this is the last question

Answer 11

That whole excerpt you have posted above is paragraph one?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Okay, which options can we eliminate?

Answer 14

idk cause im not sure what the paragrpah means ive read it like 6 times lol

Answer 15

Let me reword it, hold on...

Answer 16

No one would have believed that in the last years of the nineteenth century, this world (Earth) was being watched very closely by alien intelligence much greater than man's, while (human) men busied themselves about their various concerns (such as going to work each day) they were watched and studied, perhaps in the same way as a (human) man with a microscope might watch and study the small creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Self-absorbed men went to and fro over the Earth busy with their little affairs, calm in their confidence of their existence over other life. No one (human) gave a thought to the other worlds (planets) of space as sources of human danger, for humans thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most, terrestrial men fancied there might be other extraterrestrial men living on Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves (humans) and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish (meaning that human minds are not near as great as the extraterrestrial minds), intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this Earth with jealous eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

Answer 17

Let me know if that helps you to understand it better, or if anything is still a bit confusing for you.

Answer 18

so eliminate b

Answer 19

Good.

Answer 20

now im not sure

Answer 21

Does it say anywhere that humans are scientifically advanced?

Answer 22

not really

Answer 23

Also, men originally thought (or hoped) that their minds would be superior to the minds of the extraterrestrials.

What can we conclude from this?

Answer 24

so a is the answer?

Answer 25

I would agree, yes.

Answer 26

They are interested in exploring space.
They have a keen knowledge of extraterrestrial beings.
They are unaware of other beings. n

next one

Answer 27

"...No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable..."

Answer 28

In other words, humans thought that extraterrestrial life was impossible.

Answer 29

c?

Answer 30

Yes.

Answer 31

They believe in charity.
They are curious to learn more.
They often think about the benefits of exploration.

last one this really threw me off

Answer 32

Does it state anywhere that they believe in charity?

Answer 33

no

Answer 34

Good, so we can eliminate A.

Here is a hint which should make the answer clear:
"...perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water..."

Answer 35

b?

Answer 36

Yes, I would agree.

Answer 37

Do you need help with anything else?

Answer 38

In three to five complete sentences, explain why the inhabitants of Mars are interested in Earth. Use information from the text to support your answer.

Answer 39

@XeNoN

Answer 40

I think what we need would be from one of the first questions you asked today... I recall it stated something about the Earth being warm, but I forget the other details.
Could you find that paragraph and paste it here?

Answer 41

The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.

Answer 42

"The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour."

This is one important detail to include in your answer.
So, let's start drafting an answer... What could you write for this, to start?

Answer 43

About the secular cooling

Answer 44

Do you know what that means?

Answer 45

not really

Answer 46

Well, the term "secular" means "worldly".
So, "secular cooling" means "world cooling", or that the planet is getting cooler.

Answer 47

To add:
"...Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter..."

So, in other words, even at Mars' equator, temperatures there are still cooler than even Earth's coolest winter.

That's pretty cold. Unbearable, really. Think negatives, beyond -50 degrees F. Brrrr.

Answer 48

So the temeperature

Answer 49

Right.
What can you add to your answer from this?

Answer 50

The temp here was desirable

Answer 51

Yes, but why?

Answer 52

cause its freezing there

Answer 53

Yeah, basically, lol.
You'll have to use some evidence from the paragraph though, for your answer.

Answer 54

This is hard for me lol

Answer 55

It's okay, I'll help.
So, here is the part in the paragraph which we need to incorporate into the answer: "...in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter..."
Can you reword this?
