Answers

THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.

"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.

"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."

"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"

"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."

Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.

The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.

"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.

With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.

Read the following lines from the text:

And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

This line suggests Kenniston is (3 points)

write a paragraphs about 150 words in holi festival​

Holi

Holi is a famous festival of the Hindus. Very simply, it is called the festival of colours because colours are enormously used during this festival. It generally falls in the month of March. In Nepal, it is mostly celebrated in the Terai; nowadays, it is celebrated all over the country.

This festival does own cultural and religious significance. It is attributed to the story of Prahlad who was a great devotee of God Bishnu but Prahlad's father did not like it. He tried to killed his son, Prahlad, several times but he could not. Once he ordered his sister Holika to burn him to death. She took Prahlad in her arms and sat on a great burning fire. She was once blesssed not to be harmed by a fire, but that time blessing did not help her. She was killed in the fire but Prahlad was safe. Here, Holika stands for destructive evils and Prahlad signifies a true devotee. Holi festival has been celebrated as it symbolizes the of victory of devotion and virtue over evils.

It is celebrated with great joy and enlightnment. People prepare sweets and enjoy them. They also worship gods. Everybody puts on new clothes. Small and young boys manage small parties, sing and dance. People smear their faces with different colours. They throw coloured water on one another. All the participants get wet. Thus, the days of Holi are merry making. In order to create fun, they also exchange and crack funny jokes. Everybody forget sorrows and deserves complete glee and happiness.

This festival has both advantages and disadvantages. This festival seems to be advantageous because people are completely happy. They can build up brotherhood, friendship, love and closeness. This festival helps people remove quarrels, bitterness, enmity, brutality and hatred. But nowadays, we can realize some drawbacks of it.Some people drink, sing vulgar songs and speak filthy language. Such misbehaviour leads them to quarrels, enmity and ruins.

We can say as the conclusion that this festival is really advantageous although it has some disadvantages. People should reform it in order to avoid unpleasant and unwanted activities during this festival. It is expected that the educated people of the societies should play a leading role to reform it. Then, it kills evil thoughts and activities.

Answer: There are three times of agenda-settings: 1. Public agenda setting, in which the public's agenda is the dependent variable. 2. Media agenda setting, in which the media's agenda is treated as the variable. And 3. Policy agenda setting, in which the elite policy makers' agendas are treated as the dependent variable.

You can use practically any issue in the news today to find examples of each.

1. Public agenda settings are generally generated using social media. The most recent uproar in social media in the body-positivity issues.

2. Media agenda settings are generally found in biased news reports. Anything relating to the innocence of Hillary Clinton or the racism of Trump is a media controlled agenda.

3. Policy maker agenda comes from the government. Most recently, the argument for gun policies by our current President who uses tragedies such as Orlando to push a gun policy agenda.

We are being followed by someone.

To put a sentence into passive voice, we make the object of the original (active voice) sentence into the subject of the new sentence (in passive voice).
“Us” is the object in the original sentence, so we change it to “we” to make it the subject of the new sentence.

Then, we keep the verb in the same tense. So we have “We are ...”

Now we change “someone is following” into “being followed by”.

Finally we put everything together: “We are being followed by someone.”

NourseChapter 1. Trouble Times TwoThe sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone."All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones."All set, Captain.""You understand the program?"Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything."Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me?
