Read this excerpt from the poem "Lincoln Looked.”
Lincoln looked forward and saw
a divided house cannot stand.
He looked ahead, beyond the brim
of his stovepipe hat, and where
there were many people, he saw one.

Lincoln looked up at the clouds
turning in the sky and knew that
the nation was doing the same thing
in time.

It was time for a change. Lincoln
looked deep within himself and searched
for the recipe for a new country made
from so many wild and unique ingredients.

Explanation:

Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell. It only needs one electron to fill up that shell. It can attract that electron better than all the other elements in period 3, because it has more protons. It is very reactive and hence a very active non-metal.

Life is short—yet many of us spend time wondering what we should do with our lives, rather than actually going out there and trying. As hockey legend Wayne Gretzky once said, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” It’s important to actually strike out and follow your heart—even if the odds do not seem to be in your favor. That’s the beauty of life. We never know what can happen unless we take a chance. Here are five reasons why you should take a few risks from time to time.

First off, you can generate new possibilities! If you take risks and put yourself on the line, you could create a whole new set of opportunities for the future. You might achieve what you originally set out to do, but you also may unlock doors that you hadn’t even considered. It’s important to keep an open mind so something truly great and unexpected doesn’t pass you by. Another equally important reason would be that you will always gain. Even if you fall flat on your face, taking a risk will be beneficial. You gain valuable insight and experience from failure. At the very least, putting yourself out there and trying something new will change how you approach similar situations in the future.

Moreover, inaction leads to nowhere. If you do nothing, then nothing will happen. Of course, that’s a comfortable approach but it will limit how much you grow. If you find yourself dreaming of a new job, new relationship, or new destination, put a plan together and go after it. All that can happen is you fail and gain insight to help you the next time. In addition, what if you were to do it? Well, that brings us to number 4, where it can help you overcome your fears! Some people hesitate to go after what they want because it leaves them vulnerable and exposed to hurt, disappointment, and even ridicule. You may fear that if you fail, this means you are a failure, but in fact by taking risks you will learn to overcome your fears. You will likely find that you care less about what people think and about what could go wrong, which is a powerful shift in thinking. Finally but not least, one last reason as to why people should take/say risks, is because mainly, it sets a good example! I mean, who doesn't want to be? Most of us want our children to take risks and try things outside their comfort zones, but to help them we need to set a good example. When they see us trying new things, they will be more likely to do the same. We can’t expect our kids to go out and conquer the world if we’re hiding in our room.  

Overall, so many of us still let life pass us by while we sit worrying about what could go wrong. This can lead to major regrets as we grow older. Why not do all you can to live the life you want each and every day? You can do this! Those were the top 5 reasons as to why people should take risks.

Answers

Answer:

Tu quoque fallacy (appeal to hypocrisy)

Explanation:

This fallacy is known as the 'you too' fallacy. This fallacy is used when a person is trying to accuse the person pointing out his fault for the same crime. He hereby shows the hypocrisy in the accuser. Instead of accepting the blame for the mistake committed, he tries to distribute the blame so as to absolve himself of the crime.

This is what the driver does in this instance. Instead of accepting the fact that he committed an offense, he rather tries to blame the police officer for allowing the drivers who committed the same offense to drive past.

Events of nature can often leave us questioning reality. How might a powerful storm or some rare phenomenon such as hail leave you disoriented? Have you ever experienced a natural event that changed your point of view or what you thought you knew about the world? Describe your experience and interpret it in AT LEAST two paragraphs.

Answers

Explanation:

Events of nature can often leave us questioning reality through its ability to show us the 'impossible' or the 'unknown'. These events of nature can change your view of your surroundings and the world as you once knew it. A powerful storm and hail are simple examples of this statement.

A powerful storm has the ability to change your perspective through its ability to show severe strength and damage in which it can cause before, during and after its activity. Furthermore, it may change someone's perspective to show how devasting and life-changing a powerful storm can be.  

Hail additionally has the ability to change one's perspective of their surroundings and the world as they once knew it as it can similarly show its effects on the world. In addition to this, it can show how peculiar things may expand one's mind.

4: To help the reader visualize the characters.

2: To make the story more interesting.

Which is the best revision of this sentence?
She met her friends in the lobby of the hotel, and they headed over to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.
She met her friends at the hotel's bottom floor, which is the lobby, so that they could head over to the swimming
pool for a cool, brisk swim.
For a cool, brisk, refreshing swim at the hotel's pool, she met her friends in the hotel's lobby on the bottom floor.
The sentence is correct as written.

Answers

Answer:

She met her friends in the lobby of the hotel, and they headed over to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.

Explanation:

The correct option is the first one. This revision is the most concise, free of redundancy. This means that everything necessary is said with no unnecessary words. When we say that someone is in the lobby of a hotel, we already know that they are on the bottom floor. There is no need to include both lobby and bottom floor in the same sentence. The first sentence is the only one that contains only one of these phrases/words.

Another issue with the original sentence is the incorrect use of commas, and another reason the third option is incorrect is awkward word order.

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

She met her friends in the lobby of the hotel, and they headed over to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.

An airplane takes off when the upward force beneath its wings is greater than the downward force of gravity. Starting from when the airplane is standing still, describe the sequence of events that has to happen for the upward force to become greater than the downward force of gravity.

Answers

Answer:

There's no short answer.

Explanation:

The engines start working by burning fuel, this in turn starts turning the engine blades and the blades suck in air and push it out from the back of the engines. This creates a force that pushes the airplane forward. As the volume of air that goes in and out of the engines increase, so does the kinetic energy the airplane has. At a specific speed, depending a lot of factors such as the weight of the airplane, the length of the wings etc, the force that the moving air provides from beneath the wings surpasses the force of gravity that is applied to the plane, the plane takes off.
