sleep after midnight and always woke up every 30
minutes.
A. Sleeping after midnight
B. Waking up every 30 minutes
ОО
C. The inability to sleep normally
D. Sleeping normally
SUBMIT

Answer:

C. The inability to sleep normally.

Explanation:

Insomnia is a sleeping disorder when a person is unable to sleep normally. It is also a medical condition that makes a person unable to get enough sleep or wake up every now and then.

In the given scenario, "Michael struggled with insomnia." This means that Michael can't stay asleep and would wake up every 30 minutes. These are signs of a sleeping disorder, which suggests the inability to stay asleep for a longer duration or even get enough sleep.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Lin is now a senior scientist of geophysics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in
Massachusetts, where he spends his time studying not the scurrying of small animals and
fluctuating electrical current between trees (another fabled warning sign), but seismometer
readings, GPS coordinates, and global earthquake-notification reports.
What is the purpose for including these lines?
A
The lines show that Lin is untrustworthy as an expert because he relies on his
past experiences to identify earthquakes.
B
The lines show that Lin is an expert in the field who follows scientific methods
of research - modifying his methods of observing earthquakes - which
therefore builds credibility and trust for the reader.
С
The lines help create emotional appeal because Lin changed his
understanding about the causes of earthquakes.
D
The lines help create a feeling of trust between the author and readers,
because Lin disagreed with his co-researcher on the measurement of
earthquakes and the author was willing to share this with readers.

PASSAGE

Raising the Driving Age
Should the driving age be raised to 18?

Alarmed by car accidents involving teenagers, a number of states are considering raising the age for getting a license.



YES
(1) On December 29, 2005, four teenage boys from Chicago went out for a late-night drive and had a terrible accident. (2) The car spun out of control and struck several objects, including a giant light pole. (3) Two of the boys—a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old—were killed. (4) The driver of the car was just 16.

(5) The answer is raising the driving age. (6) That's why I introduced legislation to raise the driving age in Illinois from 16 to 18. (7) I realize this idea is controversial, so I could not stand by and watch one more young person die because he or she was not quite ready to be behind the wheel.

(8) All 50 states prohibit 16-year-olds from drinking alcohol, buying cigarettes, and purchasing handguns. (9) Yet somehow most states are willing to put them in charge of a car, which could potentially be a deadly weapon.

(10) Between 1995 and 2004, there were 30,917 fatalities in accidents that involved 15-to-17-year-old drivers, according to a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. (11) About a third of those deaths were the teen drivers themselves. (12) The rest were pedestrians, passengers, and people in cars that teenage drivers struck.

(13) As an Illinois lawmaker, I cannot sit back and watch more innocent lives be claimed because of lack of experience. (14) Raising the driving age may seem burdensome to parents and busy teens, but we have to remember that this is a proposal about safety, not convenience.

—Representative John D'Amico
Democrat, Illinois State Legislature



NO
(15) If your neighbor robs a bank, should you go to jail? (16) No. (17) If your classmate gets in an accident, should your driver's license be taken away? (18) Of course not. (19) Neither situation is fair. (20) Raising the driving age will punish all young drivers for the mistakes of a few of there peers. (21) In this country we live by the principle of innocent until proven guilty. (22) Those who want to raise the driving age have labeled teens guilty before they've gotten in an accident or before they've even stepped into a car. (23) They believe that just because of your birth date, you are dangerous and must be punished by having your ability to drive taken from you.

(24) Those who favor raising the driving age say that statistics show teenagers are more likely to get into accidents than adults. (25) What they don't say is that statistics also show that men of all ages are 77 percent more likely to kill someone while driving than women. (26) If people want to save lives by raising the driving age then how about saving lives by allowing only women to drive? (27) Of course, both my mom and grandma are crazy drivers, and they shouldn’t even be allowed out on the road.

(28) Except raising the driving age won't save lives. (29) Studies show that it is inexperience, not age, that causes accidents. (30) Raising the driving age will just create inexperienced, accident-prone drivers at 18 instead of 16.

(31) Teens need the ability to drive just as much as anyone else—to get to school, to get to work, to get to sports or band practice, or just to go out with their friends. (32) Cars are necessary for mobility in this country. (33) Taking that away is a large disruption to the lives of teen-agers—for no good reason.

Please help I'm failing Read the poem.

The Song of Wandering Aengus

by William Butler Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Read these lines from "The Song of Wandering Aengus."

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,

How does Aengus's continued search for the girl affect the meaning in the poem?


It suggests that Aengus misses the life he had when he was a young boy.


It shows he is trying to get in touch with the beauty and life he caught a glimpse of.


It reflects his obsession with a woman he once knew and cannot forget.


It reflects his desire to recreate an odd experience he once had.

Compare and contrast Antony and Brutus speech at the funeral of Julius Caesar in terms of characteristic trait and effectiveness on Roman mob?
.
There is a sharp contrast between the funeral speeches of Brutus and Antony in Julius Caesar. Antony's funeral oration differs from Brutus's in many ways. Brutus's speech to the crowd of people is the speech of a philosopher while Antony's speech is emotional and is intended to stir the feelings and passions of the listeners. Brutus's speech is cold, logical, and intellectual; while Antony's speech is charged with feeling, and it is meant to excite the emotions of the listeners. Brutus's speech appeals to the intelligence of the listeners, and it fails because the listeners in this case are not intelligent enough.


Brutus's speech is really an excellent specimen of reasoning. The logic behind the arguments in this speech is perfectly clear. But logic is something which the common people do not understand. This does not mean that Brutus is speaking to people who are utterly ignorant. The point is that the people understand Brutus's reasoning only to a limited extent. As for the logic in his speech, here is an example: "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more". This sentence is a simple enough and yet not so simple. There is certainly an element of complexity in this sentence. Brutus tries to appeal to people's love of freedom. He tries to stir their hatred of tyranny. But the does not realize that the people are not very enlightened and that that they do not really understand this talk about freedom and slavery. In the starting scene, this mob has already been depicted as admirers of Caesar, the conqueror. A love of freedom is far from their thoughts. And yet they accepts Brutus's reasoning. But the crowd's ignorance comes out in their declaring that Brutus should be given the title of Caesar. It is clear that the crowd does not understand the principles for the sake of which Brutus had murdered a dear friend.

On the other hand, Antony knows the psychology of the mob. He appeals directly to this psychology. He does not talk of the principal of freedom. He does not talk of evil of tyranny and slavery. He speaks about the wounds which had been inflicted upon Caesar's body. He speaks about the ingratitude of Brutus who was loved as a dear friend by Caesar. He speaks about Caesar's will by the terms of which Caesar had left much of his property to the people in general. Antony makes use of several rhetorical devices in the course of his speech. He makes use of irony when he says again and again that Brutus is an honourable man.

However, we find another important difference in this respect. Brutus speaks to the mob in prose, while Antony speaks in verse. Poetry is always more effective than prose. It is also always more emotional than prose. Antony's speech makes use not only of rhetorical devices but also of poetic devices. Antony's speech is an excellent combination of art, cunning, and sincerity. Besides, Brutus speaks about abstract notions while Antony speaks in concrete terms. Brutus speaks of freedom and slavery, while Antony speaks of his listeners feelings and passions.

Read the poem “The White Window” by James Stephens.

The moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie,
And I pretend to be asleep;
But I watch the moon as it goes by,
And it never makes a sound.

It stands and stares, and then it goes
To the house that's next to me,
Stealing on its tippy-toes,
To peep at folk asleep maybe;
And it never makes a sound.


How does the second stanza connect to the first stanza?
A. It describes what the speaker does next.
B. It describes the house next door to the speaker’s.
C. It describes how the moon moves to the next house.
D. It describes how folks in the next house peep at the moon.
