STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman

1911

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.


Which sentence from the text describes a problem with Walker's match that the phosphorus match tried to solve?
A. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out.
B. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one.
C. A druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony.
D. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:

My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain's memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.

The purpose of this excerpt is to help readers understand

the excitement and relief immigrants felt upon arriving in America.
that the Narrows into the Bay was a very dangerous passage.
that Italian children were very sad after leaving their home country.
the weather the immigrants experienced on that day in October 1907.

HELP!!! *ASAP* Read the paragraphs.

The concerns about sending people to Mars are definitely worth considering. For one thing, the mission will cost billions of dollars. This would be a huge additional cost at a time when national debts continue to skyrocket. Also, that money could help fix problems here on Earth.

Mars may have valuable resources. The Earth’s resources are already starting to dwindle, and our population continues to grow. Finding resources on Mars could provide much-needed relief for the overstressed ecosystems of Earth.

What is the best way to connect the paragraphs?

deleting the last sentence of the first paragraph
deleting the first sentence of the second paragraph
adding a transition at the beginning of the second paragraph
adding another sentence with evidence at the end of the first paragraph

Answers

Deleting the first sentence on the second paragraph

The best way to connect the paragraphs is by adding a transition at the beginning of the second paragraph to smoothly introduce the new topic.

The best way to connect the paragraphs would be to introduce a transition at the start of the second paragraph. The reader would be smoothly transitioned from the worry about the expense of sending people to Mars to the potential advantages of finding valuable resources there with the use of a transitional phrase like "Furthermore" or "In addition."

The idea that the exploration of Mars may not only incur significant costs but also provide potential solutions to the Earth's declining resources and expanding population is demonstrated by this transition, which helps create a logical flow between the ideas. By using a transition, the author can lead readers through the related ideas and emphasize how crucial it is to take into account both sides of the Mars mission debate.

While reasonable safety concerns may require changes in the building, the "beacon" promised by Mr. Libeskind cannot under any circumstances be replaced with a dreary, fear-inspired fortress. The tower could become overly bulky if extra security demands are simply grafted onto the present plan. It already calls for a massive building, with too much extra office space - added to suit the developer - and a very tall spire for those who want a perpetual sign of defiance to terrorists. Nothing would better express capitulation to terrorism than a large skyscraper that looks like a vertical bunker.

Given the author’s tone, how do you think he feels about the security changes being made to the Freedom Tower?
a.He is happy about the changes.

Passage 2: "Columbus"

Behind him lay the gray Azores,



Behind the Gates of Hercules;



Before him not the ghost of shores;



Before him only shoreless seas.



5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,



For lo! the very stars are gone.



Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"



"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;



10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."



The stout mate thought of home; a spray



Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.



"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,



If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"



15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:



'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"



They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,



Until at last the blanched mate said:



"Why, now not even God would know



20 Should I and all my men fall dead.



These very winds forget their way,



For God from these dread seas is gone.


Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-



He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"


25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:



"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.



He curls his lip, he lies in wait,



He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!



Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:



30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"



The words leapt like a leaping sword:



"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"



Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,



And peered through darkness. Ah, that night



35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-


A light! A light! At last a light!



It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!



It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.



He gained a world; he gave that world

B)by describing the land with vivid and colorful language


C)by explaining how the land sheltered people from weather


D)by comparing the land with places the people had lived before

3 Today the land is silent, save for the wind rustling the trees and the song of a canyon wren. But for the early people of Mesa Verde, the land was everything. It provided water, soil for crops, plants and animals for food, stone and wood for houses and tools, clay for pottery, and fiber for clothing and baskets. The land was also significant because topography determined where and how people moved and communicated.
