The War of the Worlds
by H. G. Wells [1898]
But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be
inhabited?…Are we or they Lords of the
World?…And how are all things made for man?—
KEPLER (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy)

BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS
CHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerpt

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.

Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.

The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.

And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.

In three to five complete sentences, explain why the inhabitants of Mars are interested in Earth. Use information from the text to support your answer.

The order of most formal debates is affirmative team statement, opposing team statement, and rebuttals. The correct option is B.

A debate is a formal discussion or argument between two or more people who present their viewpoints or arguments on a particular topic or issue. The participants of a debate are typically divided into two teams or sides, with one team arguing in favor of a proposition or statement (the affirmative team) and the other team arguing against it (the opposing team).

Debates can be structured in different ways, but typically involve a series of speeches or statements from each team, followed by rebuttals, cross-examinations, and closing statements.

The goal of a debate is to persuade the audience and judges that one side's arguments are more compelling and supported by evidence than the other side's. Debates can be held on a wide range of topics, from political and social issues to academic and philosophical debates.

There may also be additional rounds of rebuttals and cross-examinations depending on the format of the debate. A brief recess may be taken between rounds, but it is not typically part of the formal order of the debate.

Therefore, The correct order of most formal debates is Affirmative team statement, Opposing team statement, and Rebuttals.

Answer:

the type of noun for the word Saturn is a proper noun.

Answer:

The difference between a proper noun and a regular or common noun — aside from capitalization — is that proper nouns refer to a specific person, place, or thing rather than a general category. So while aquarium is a noun, SeaWorld is a particular, proper noun, and whereas planet is a noun, Saturn is a proper noun.

Answer: The court recognizes that the current delivery of education might compromise citizens’ rights.

Explanation:

Brown v. Board of Education was a Supreme Court case where it was ruled that segregation in schools was Unconstitutional. In doing so, the Court recognized that the way students were being educated could be said to be compromising the rights of citizens.

This was after the Court found out that segregated schools for blacks did not have equal facilities as those for whites which meant that they violated the 14th Amendment which states that every state must offer equal protection to people in its jurisdiction.

The court recognizes that the current delivery of education might compromise citizens’ rights, hence option A is correct.

The U.S. supreme court held unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution.

Separate educational facilities for white and African American pupils were deemed to be fundamentally unequal in the 1954 ruling.

In the supreme court case of Brown v. Board of Education, segregation in schools was found to be unconstitutional. In doing so, the court acknowledged that it was possible to claim that the way citizens' rights were being protected in schools was being compromised.

Therefore, the court is aware that how education is now provided can compromise citizens' rights.
