The fact that electronic computers are now used for data processing has led the general
public to believe that it is a mysterious, complicated science and that the computers are
giant brains. Both of these ideas are false. A computer is basically just a high-speed adding
machine that performs the functions it is told to. If the input data are varied even a little,
the computer is unable to operate until it is programmed to accept the variations. The
business operations it performs are impressive only because of the extremely high speed of
manipulation, but most of these operations have been used for decades. Unlike man, the
computer performs repetitive calculations without getting tired or bored.



Which statement best expresses the main idea of this passage?

Group of answer choices

A computer is a high-speed adding machine.

A computer is a mysterious giant brain.

A computer is impressive because of its high speed.

A computer is superior to man in many ways.

Explanation:

happiness is relative. that means that what some people might be happy about, others are sad about.

for instance, if someone got a cookie, and was excited, you’d assume if that persons sister also got a cookie, they’d get excited too. but, what if their sister wasn’t as big a fan of cookies?

does that make sense?

Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.
I had been in the demon land for only ten months, so it would have been about January of the demons' year 1904, when we met Mr. Alger. I remember it was a gray, wintry day. We were making the rounds when we saw one of the horseless carriages stranded by the sidewalk and a demon in a big overcoat standing beside it. His driving cap was pushed back, and he was scratching his forehead in a puzzled way. The metal hood on the front of the horseless had been folded back on top so you could see into its innards.

How does the description of the day as gray and wintry emphasize the narrator’s feelings about life in the new country?
The day is cold and uninviting, like the people and their cities.
The color of the day is the same as that of the car’s machinery.
The winter day gives promise of a new beginning in the future.
The cloudy day reflects the narrator’s negative thoughts.

What is the central idea of target rock?

Answers

Interestingly, Target Rock or Target Rock National Wildlife Refuge as it is also called refers to a wildlife reserve located on the North Shore of Long Island in Lloyd Neck.

Its history was said to date back to the period during the British Revolutionary War. It is believed that a large rock was found here and so it was used as target practice by  British warships.

Target Rock was kept for cannon practice by British warships during the War of 1812. It is called so as it is said that British warships used it for target practice.

Why target rock is named so?

This rock is known as Target Rock because it is said that British warships used it for target practice.

The estate was last owned by Henry Lloyd IV, who bought it in 1841 and built a dock near the Causeway in 1852 as a stop for steamboats traveling from Oyster Bay to New York.

Due to erosion, this glacial eccentric once sat on the side of the cliff, as well as the ground on which East Fort stood, receded into the ocean over time.

Thus, it can be concluded that Target Rock was targeted for cannon practice by British warships during the War of 1812 and it is called so as it is said that British warships used it for target practice.

Explanation:

On the morning of July 15, 2006, fourteen school buses were vandalized. The buses, property of Walt Whitman Middle School, were parked in the "bus barn" on campus. The vandals spray-painted the buses with pictures of dogs. Dogs happen to be the mascot of rival school Edgar Allan Poe Academy. This has led some to believe that some students from EAPA may be the culprits in the incident. Says the mother of one Walt Whitman student, "Oh, yeah, the [Edgar Allan] Poe [Academy] kids are definitely responsible. Those kids don't have any discipline, and they're still stewing over the loss of last week's football game." Police, however, say that they currently have no suspects.

Answers

Answer:

B. He borrowed brief phrases from Hughes' poetry.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King was a very good friend of Langston Hughes, a poet. Both of them were against the racism that was so prevalent at the time they lived. Hughes was a proponent of Communism which made him a target of the government. King tried to distance himself from him in his speeches by not openly referencing his name when he used quotes from his poems.

King inserted brief phrases of Hughes' poetry in his speech. For example, his quote, "I am personally the victim of deferred dreams..." is a reference to Hughes' poem titled, "Dreams Deferred" which was first named Harlem in 1951.
