Some examples of common idioms and there meaning include the following;

I. Make hay while the sun shine: it means you should act when an opportunity is presented and while you're still active.

II. Love is blind: it simply means a true and genuine love isn't superficial i.e based on the physical or material things.

Describe what the name Epimetheus means​

Answers

Epimetheus was one of the Titans, son of Iapetus and Clymene. He was the brother of Prometheus, Atlas and Menoetius. His name is derived from the Greek word meaning 'afterthought', which is the antonym of his brother's name, Prometheus, meaning 'forethought'. In this context, Epimetheus appeared as a foolish character, while Prometheus was the clever one.
Prometheus and Epimetheus were told to distribute characteristics to the newly created animals. Epimetheus started giving a positive trait to every animal, but lacking foresight, he realised that he had distributed all traits without having any left to give to man. So, Prometheus gave mankind the civilizing arts and fire.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Answer:Its day

Explanation:

i just took the test trust

Option A is the italicized word that is incorrectly capitalized. Because it is part of the title of a holiday, "day" should be capitalized as "Day." So, the correct option is A.

What is italicized word?

An italicised word is one that is tilted to the right to emphasise, contrast, or distinguish it from the text that surrounds it. Italicised words are widely used in writing to denote book, movie, or TV show names, or to emphasise a certain word or phrase.

In the statement "She loved reading Harry Potter books," for example, the title of the book "Harry Potter" would be italicised to distinguish it from the remainder of the sentence.

An whole block of text may be italicised in some circumstances to signify a shift in voice, tone, or point of view. Italicized text can also be used to denote variables or labels in technical documents such as scientific publications.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

1) The material is a tertiary source of information.

Explanation:

The secondary source is Reuters which they rightly referenced. Of course the information could only have come from NASA as the primary generator of such news.

2) the main goal of launching Perseverance (NASA's rover) is to search for signs of life.

Explanation

For some time, NASA has been trying to find evidence of life on Mars. According to the write-up, this will be the 9th mission to Mars.

3) The essential object which is aboard rover Perseverance is an autonomous helicopter named ingenuity that is about 1.8 kilograms. It will be performing test powered flight on Mars for the first time.  

4) As the rover descends onto Mars through space and Mars' atmosphere, it will have to overcome the heat generated from the friction between its surface and the planet's carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere.

This descent is estimated to take about 7 minutes and will also involve the deployment of parachutes that have been described as supersonic. This process will also involve the deployment of mini rocket engines that will aid it in landing gently onto the planet's surface.

5) In the year 2030, the United States of America plans to send astronauts to Mars.

6) The text also indicates that the rover will be performing experiments to see the possibility of converting carbon dioxide into breathable in preparation for the 2030 mission.

1. I dont think that celebrating weddings in an elaborate way is good. What's the point of inviting people you dont know? Youre just paying extra for people who u have no idea are

2. I dont think arranged marriages should be a thing to be honest. Because if they're not actually you're soulmate then what's the point of being with them for the rest of your life?

Answer:

I think that marriage is a beautiful assembling of two people who are willing to live their lives together as one in union and harmony. Celebrating an event like this is very important and depending on different cultures and tradititions they are celebrated differently which i truely find beautiful. I favour the idea of elaborate wedding as the couple are entitled to share and show their love in what ever way they want. I like the ideas of elaborate weddings but they are not mandatory.

second question

I think that arranged marriages are imoral and wrong as love should be free , wild and genuine not forced. People should be allowed to spend the rest of their lives with whom ever they want.

How Tea Came to Be

The brewing and drinking of tea is believed to have originated from Chinese culture. One story tells how tea was discovered accidentally by a Chinese emperor in 2737 B.C. The emperor did not want to get sick, so he always insisted on boiling his drinking water to be assured of its purity. One day, some tea leaves from his garden accidentally fell into his hot water. The emperor noticed the pleasant aroma. He tasted the new beverage and found it delicious and refreshing.
The habit and custom of drinking tea eventually spread all over the world. Dutch and Portuguese sailors brought tea to Europe in the seventeenth century. At the time, tea was very expensive. Only the rich could afford it. In Britain and Holland, tea was sold at auctions where it was popular among aristocrats. In Europe, drinking tea became symbolic of the upper class.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the popularity of tea began to reach further than just the wealthy. Prices came down and tea became a commodity available to all segments of the population. The buying and selling of tea between the East and the West turned into a booming industry. Companies specializing in tea were formed and grew into powerful businesses that brought in huge revenues. Because tea brought in so much money and became so powerful, it was even used in political maneuvers. In the mid-1800s, when Britain and China were at war, China set an embargo on the exporting of tea to Britain. This stopped the flow of Chinese tea coming into the Britain and made it more difficult for the British to buy.
Tea today remains an enormous industry worldwide. What seemed like a trivial event in the emperor's garden centuries ago has now become a global multibillion-dollar business. Over 2.5 million tons of tea are grown and produced around the world each year.

question 1
In the third paragraph, what does the word revenues mean?
