NBC and CBS were competing to establish news dominance by being the first American network to broadcast Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. NBC and CBS raced back from England on high-speed planes. Which American network was first to begin broadcasting?

ABC

CBS

NBC

CNN

Answer:

ABC

Explanation:

ABC, which had spent no money on the race, cut in on the CBC signal and began broadcasting. It was followed quickly by NBC. CBS was last to air.

ABC interrupted the CBC transmission and started broadcasting, despite having made no financial investment in the race. NBC swiftly followed suit. Last to air was CBS.

Electronically transmitting radio and television signals that are aimed at the general public as opposed to private signals that are sent to particular receivers is known as broadcasting.

The battle would be over which network would air it first, and only CBS and NBC had the manpower, financial resources, and engineering capabilities necessary to play. Americans could not watch what was happening in London as it was happening. ABC would watch the valiant struggle from a position of weakness and poverty, with the fewest stars, the weakest stations, the smallest audiences, and inevitably, the smallest, least active news departments.

Therefore, Option (A) is correct.

Excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass

1 I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvest time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He deemed all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent, and evidence of a restless spirit. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old.
Jerome has decided to use this passage as the basis for a class assignment. What is one way that he can create a fictional adaptation and still maintain the basic ideas?

A) He can omit all references to slavery.
B) He can change to tone to make it more pleasant.
C) He can make the setting more elaborate and important.
D) He can change from first-person to third-person point of view.

Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?
. . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.
Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.
I said lightly that I had heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later I got up to go home. They came to the door with me and stood side by side in a cheerful square of light. As I started my motor Daisy peremptorily called: “Wait!”

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
