AC vs. DC
In the 1880s, the War of the Currents began. Thomas Edison developed direct current, or DC, a type of electricity that flows in one direction. By 1887, DC was in use around the United States. It had some drawbacks, though. Converting it to lower or higher voltages was difficult; that is, the current's force couldn't be changed easily. Transmitted at the low voltage needed for use in homes and businesses, it lost power after traveling only a mile. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla was working with alternating current, or AC. AC reverses direction many times per second and can be changed to different voltages. At high voltage, it can be transmitted efficiently, traveling hundreds of miles with little energy loss. Because of its advantages, AC triumphed by the end of the nineteenth century.
What is the main idea of the passage?
AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.
AC reverses direction and can be converted to lower or higher voltage.
What is the main idea?
Answer: "AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the currents."
The main and the central idea about the passage is (1)AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.
Explanation:
The given passage talks about the War between Currents.
There are two types of currents being talked about- DC and AC. The passage tells us that the use of DC was prevalent in the 18th centaury and after development of the AC current, it took over DC and was then used all over the world because it had distinct advantages.
Therefore, the main idea of the passage is AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.

Imagine something fantastic and begin to write a story about this subject using hyperbole and language that conveys mood. Be mindful of what kind of feeling or what sort of mood you want your readers to experience.
Answer:
Jade Ann had always loved cosy Oxford with its late, little lakes. It was a place where she felt calm.
She was a wild, courageous, cocoa drinker with beautiful face and brunette lips. Her friends saw her as a late, little Lawyer. Once, she had even helped a mashed kitten cross the road. That's the sort of woman he was.
Jade walked over to the window and reflected on her sunny surroundings. The sun shone like skipping horses.
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Martins Justyce. Martins was a daring coward with curvy face and 5’4 lips.
Jade gulped. She was not prepared for Martins.
As Jade stepped outside and Martins came closer, she could see the bitter glint in his eye.
Martins gazed with the affection of 9758 gentle proud puppies. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want closure."
Jade looked back, even more excited and still fingering the peculiar kettle. "Martins, you must think I was born yesterday," she replied.
They looked at each other with surprised feelings, like two keen, kooky kittens cooking at a very adorable holiday, which had jazz music playing in the background and two clever uncles swimming to the beat.
Jade regarded Martins's curvy face and 5’4 lips. "I feel the same way!" revealed Jade with a delighted grin.
Martins looked happy, his emotions blushing like a bad, bored book.
Then Martins came inside for a nice mug of cocoa.

Naming Pluto
When "Planet X" was discovered in 1930, astronomers began debating what to call it. An eleven-year-old girl named Venetia Burney suggested the name "Pluto" to her grandfather, who passed the idea along to a friend who was a professor of astronomy. The professor, in turn, immediately forwarded the suggestion to scientists at the Lowell Observatory, where the planet had been discovered. The astronomers appreciated the fact that Pluto was the ancient Romans' name for the god of the underworld, making it a fitting moniker for such a cold and distant celestial body. In addition, its first two letters matched the initials of Percival Lowell, the astronomer who first proposed the existence of Planet X. The matter was eventually put to a vote, with Pluto the hands-down winner.
What is the main idea of the passage?
Pluto is a good name for a cold, distant planet because it is the name of the Roman god of the underworld.
After an eleven-year-old girl suggested " Pluto", astronomers chose it as the name of a newly discovered planet.

Read the passage.
Human Activity and Earthquakes
When Americans think of earthquakes, they tend to think of California, a state known for its frequent seismic activity. In recent years, however, people in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas have been feeling the ground shake more often. An increase in oil and gas drilling in these states has led to "human-induced" earthquakes—those resulting from human activity. When wastewater is disposed of during gas and oil drilling, the water is forced deep underground. The resulting buildup of pressure can cause fault lines (cracks in the earth's crust) to shift. According to Mark Petersen, head of the U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake hazard mapping project, "In the past five years, the USGS has documented high shaking and damage in areas of these six states, mostly from induced earthquakes."
What is the main idea of the passage?
An increase in oil and gas drilling has caused a corresponding increase in earthquakes in six states.
Residents of six U.S states have experienced an increase in earthquake activity in recent years.

#2 What meaning do the words “and the darkness gave no token” convey to the reader?
Read the following lines from the poem.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;—
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word was there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore!”
What meaning do the words “and the darkness give no token” convey to the reader?
A. The stranger has not left any money at the door.
B. Nothing can be seen that helps explain where the tapping noise came from.
C. No sounds can be heard at the door.

Remeber the Oracle sharing the prphecy with Percy Jackson?
Do you believe everyone has a destiny or a plan for their life that they will fill no matter what? Explain your answer with 5-8 sentences.
Explanation:
A prophecy, or prophecies in general, is a prediction of events about to happen in the future. Prophecies can appear in a number of ways, but almost all are cryptic and their true meaning will not become clear until after the events of the prophecy have come to pass. Also, those with the ability to see the future are unable to reveal what a prophecy means, as giving the answer would make the answer irrelevant (meaning that the events in the prophecy could change if the events are told). It is also said that trying to figure out what a prophecy means or trying to force a prophecy to come to pass may result in disaster.
The most common way for a prophecy to be told is from an oracle, most notably the Oracle of Delphi. Even in ancient times, people would come from all over Greece and beyond to see the Oracle, who would speak the prophecies of Apollo. Over time the spirit of the Oracle went from host to host, eventually arriving in America.
