Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

Then I heard about a summer job through my uncle who was a dentist. He introduced me to one of his patients who had a business selling audio-visual equipment for big light and music shows. He was looking for some new, better equipment. I spent all summer when I was sixteen building high-powered light-controlled systems that synchronized many Kodak projectors at once, as many as sixty-four to 120 of them, and reduced the cumbersome machines from the size of a refrigerator to the size of a toaster. Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling. To make this new device I had bought every kind of electrical equipment I could find, and still had money left over.

Which detail shows that Kamen's light-controlled systems were very good?

Explanation:

There has been much debate in our community lately about the
starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that
the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their
kids off to elementary school.

Which of these is the author's claim?

A. There has been much debate in our community lately,

B. This is due to early morning doctor appointments.

C. High school needs to have a later starting time.

D. 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end
of first period

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I may be wrong though.

Answer:

C. High school needs to have a later starting time.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the author claims that high school needs to have a later starting time. They also provide arguments that support this claim - 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of the first period, and most of them do it because they are sleeping in. School simply starts too early for them, and if it started later, they would arrive on time and probably perform better. That is not explicitly stated, but implied.

The rest of the options are not the claim, but the facts the author is providing. This is why option C is the correct one.

What is something in your own life that you take for granted? How could you express more appreciation? Do you think it's important to express appreciation for what we have? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Something that is natural in my life is the support of my family and the supply of my greatest needs such as food, water, energy, education, freedom, among others. These elements are natural for me because I cannot imagine myself without them, since they are extremely important for my well being and survival.

2. I could express my gratitude more by not complaining about small and superfluous things, thanking those who promote these elements for me and helping people who are deprived of it, to reach that fullness as well.

3. I believe it is important to express gratitude for what we have, because we are privileged to have them and because someone promotes them for us and that person deserves to be thanked. Furthermore, privilege is something we should not only be grateful for, but also recognize and celebrate it, because without it we would have a very bad life.

Explanation:

The protagonist's main purpose is to be able to express herself as an American, due to the fact that she now lives in the United States. We learn that she is very happy to be able to express herself properly in this way when she says: "When I was done, I read over my words, and my eyes filled. I finally sounded like myself in English!" However, the protagonist also wants us to learn how her family's past has impacted their views, and the deep connection that she feels with her mother. This is obvious when the protagonists says that her mother tried to make her feel better after her fight with her father. We also learn that her mother was very supportive:

"“Go away,” I wailed, but we both knew I was glad she was there, and I needed only a moment’s protest to save face before opening that door.
