Answer 2

the paragraph:
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.

Answer 10

If we use the process of elimination we can automatically rule out letter B since it has nothing to do with the excerpt

Answer 11

Is it : b; they think they know everything?

Answer 12

Reading this, '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.'

Answer 14

Answer 15

19th century is around the 1800s btw. No one really knew they could go to space so they showed no interest in it

Answer 16

then h? if they didnt have intrest in learning then were they just unaware?

Answer 17

Letter g contradicts the passage entirely. Because when it starts it says, "No one believed..." - Yes it's h, lol

Answer 18

lmao my bad😅 so here is the last one k?

Answer 19

Last one is a bit tricky, and you're good. We're flying through this.

I'm stuck between k and j to be honest. But if we go back to what you just said here, "then h? if they didnt have intrest in learning then were they just unaware?" supports your next answer
