Which detail from "Thomas Edison: The Master of Improvement” supports the big-picture idea of the passage?


O Humphry Davy created the first electric light and shared his design with Edison.

O Unlike Davy and Swan, Edison had no formal schooling. He was quite sickly as a child, so his mom taught him at home.

O That way, all of those long-lasting Edison bulbs would have a ready supply of the electricity they required.

O Edison was successful because he persevered through challenges to reach his goal of creating a practical lightbulb.

(ignore my answer)

Answer:

d

Explanation:

The detail from "Thomas Edison: The Master of Improvement” supports the big-picture idea of the passage is that  Edison was successful because he persevered through challenges to reach his goal of creating a practical lightbulb Option(d) is correct.

There were thoughts well before there were light bulbs. However, of the multitude of thoughts that have at any point transformed into innovations, just the light bulb turned into an image of thoughts.

Prior advancements had literalized the experience of "seeing the light," however nobody circumvented discussing torchlight minutes or drawing candles into animation thought bubbles. What made the light bulb such a powerful picture for thoughts was the development as well as its creator.

Thomas Edison was at that point notable when he idealized the long-consuming glowing light bulb, yet he was shot close to one of them so frequently that people in general came to connect the bulbs with creation itself. That checked out, by a sort of transitive property of resourcefulness: during his lifetime, Edison licensed an unrivaled 1,000 and 93 distinct creations.

Therefore Option(d) is correct.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

He concluded that a human being's arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Round the corner from the by-street, there was a square of ancient, handsome houses, now for the most part decayed from their high estate and let in flats and chambers to all sorts and conditions of men; map-engravers, architects, shady lawyers and the agents of obscure enterprises. One house, however, second from the corner, was still occupied entire . . . In what way is this setting characteristic of gothic fiction? The homes have deteriorated from their original grandness. The street is busy with the activity of local traders. The homes have been transformed into places of business. The street is renowned for its wealthy occupants.

3 Colm, with dilated eyes, eagerly watched it making for the farther end of the lake. It meandered between tall bulrushes, its body black
and solid as stone against the graying water. Then as if it had sunk it was gone. The boy ran stealthily along the bank looking away from the
lake, pretending indifference. When he came opposite to where he had last seen the bird he stopped and peered through the sighing reeds
whose shadows streaked the water in a maze of black strokes. In front of him was a soddy islet guarded by the spears of sedge and
separated from the bank by a narrow channel of water. The water wasn't too deep-he could wade across with care.
How do the setting details in paragraph 3 help convey the theme of the story?
The spears of sedge around the islet imply that something must be protected.
The shadows of the reeds and the graying water make nature seem dark and dangerous.
The shallow water and isolation of the soddy islet implies that nature and animals should not be disturbed.
That a human could wade across the water shows the dominance of people over nature.

from Aladdin and the Magic Lamp By Antoine Galland

Aladdin fell in love with the princess at first sight. He went home so changed that his mother was frightened. He told her he loved the Princess so deeply he could not live without her, and meant to ask her in marriage of her father. His mother, on hearing this, burst out laughing, but Aladdin at last prevailed upon her to go before the Sultan and carry his request. She fetched a napkin and laid in it the magic fruits from the enchanted garden, which sparkled and shone like the most beautiful jewels. She took these with her to please the Sultan, and set out, trusting in the lamp. The Grand Vizier and the lords of council had just gone in as she entered the hall and placed herself in front of the Sultan. He, however, took no notice of her. She went every day for a week, and stood in the same place. When the council broke up on the sixth day the Sultan said to his Vizier: "I see a certain woman in the audience-chamber every day carrying something in a napkin. Call her next time, that I may find out what she wants." Next day, at a sign from the vizier, she went up to the foot of the throne and remained kneeling until the Sultan said to her: "Rise, good woman, and tell me what you want." She hesitated, so the Sultan sent away all but the Vizier, and bade her speak freely, promising to forgive her beforehand for anything she might say. She then told him of her son's violent love for the Princess. "I prayed him to forget her," she said, "but in vain; he threatened to do some desperate deed if I refused to go and ask your Majesty for the hand of the Princess. Now I pray you to forgive not me alone, but my son Aladdin." The Sultan asked her kindly what she had in the napkin, whereupon she unfolded the jewels and presented them. He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizier, said: "What sayest thou? Ought I not to bestow the Princess on one who values her at such a price?" The Vizier, who wanted her for his own son, begged the Sultan to withhold her for three months, in the course of which he hoped his son could contrive to make him a richer present.
