THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
How does the author convince readers that the match was "the most wonderful thing in the world"? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.
Explanation:
We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.
Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "in the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark".
To express the problems further, the author also says that they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.

Read this excerpt from "What I Hope to Leave Behind." As I see it we can have no new deal until great groups of people, particularly the women, are willing to have a revolution in thought; are willing to look ahead, completely unconscious of losing the house on Fifth Avenue as long as somewhere they have a place to live which they themselves may gradually make into a home; are willing to give up constant competition for a little more material welfare and cooperate in everything which will make all those around them acquire a little more freedom and graciousness in life. Why would paraphrasing be an effective way to communicate this excerpt to an audience?
Answer:
You could quickly summarize the main points for an audience who may not know about Eleanor Roosevelt.
You could rearrange the sequence of information so that it would be easier for your audience to understand.

Art that says true to fact is considered
A) two-dimensional
B) doodle
C) accurate
D) challenge
Answer:
C) accurate
Explanation:
the definition of accurate is correct in all detail which means that it stays true to fact. also, the other ones don't really make sense because two-dimensional just means its drawn on paper, doodle is just a fun little drawing you do on the side of your math exams out of boredom, and challenge just means that its not easy to do.
I hope this helped :))

What technical element helps depict the harbor that the characters are
looking at?
How is choreography used to portray canon fire?
Whenever the canons fire, the dancers raise their arms and jump around to indicate the canons firing. The lights turn yellow, too. This could be because whenever something explodes, it usually goes up, or just explodes with a lot of force.
The characters, with the sisters in the front, look out into the crowd as if looking at the harbor. Their voices get louder as they say the last 'when they surround our troops' to indicate that the British are close and that this means danger. The lights are blue, not a good joyful-feeling color, so it shows that trouble is in the air.
I hope this helps! I'm not all that good in theatrical stuff, but I was just looking at the video. Good luck!

Answer:
C. The Nazca
Explanation:
Famous artworks called Nazca Lines exist in southern Peru. They were made in the span between 500BC and 500 CE by Nazca people and they go up to 1km. These geoglyphs (large designs on the ground) still remain a mystery, as it is not sure what the purpose is and exactly how they were made. Researchers suggest they were completed by groups of Nazca people. Either way, it is impressive how coordinated they are considering the culture did not have means of seeing the shapes from the air.
