Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.

A. Bacchus sent Midas to the river to wash away his golden touch.
B. Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.
C. Midas could not eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.
D. Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
E. Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Answer:

Imagine having to spend money on expensive flights only to go and talk to your grandmother? The indicated is what people had to deal with before the advancement of technology. Industrial science plays an essential role in modern-day society. It affects us in many aspects that we might not even know of. Technology can affect relationships, whether it be friendships, romantic bonds, or family connections, in both positive and negative ways. Creating new relationships is one of the primary positive aspects of telecommunications. Technology allows them to communicate online with other people. Take online games, for example. Online games usually have chats where an individual can talk to other players. Dating apps are another type of platform which have the purpose of creating new relationships. Even though talking to people online and forming new bonds sounds constructive, it can have unfavorable outcomes as well. The internet is not the most trustworthy source, especially if one is talking to people whom one has no clue who they are. There have been many cases where older men have portrayed themselves like little girls online to talk to young children in a s#x%ual manner. This is what is called a p*d#ph!le. One must be cautious and make logical decisions to prevent oneself from making new toxic relationships. Another positive outcome of the advancement of technology is communication. Examples of communication using technology might include phone calls, FaceTime, iMessage, social media, and emails. Without technology within our grasp, we would not be able to contact friends or/and family members that might be too far to contact in person. Technological communication also helps with long-distance relationships between lovers. This serves the two people to not lose touch and give each other the sense that they are still with one another. Although electronic components can be helpful, they also have their downsides. Extended screen time can result in mental health ramifications like insomnia and increased anxiety and depression. Besides affecting users' mental health, the use of technology can also have negative consequences on physical health, causing vision difficulties, hearing loss, and neck tension. As a result, “millennials will benefit and suffer due to their hyperconnected lives.”

The article above is labeled Coal consumption affecting climate.

My story:

The scolding hot furnaces around Planet Earth are consuming about 4,409,245,243,698 pounds of coal in over 300 days. This process is effectively ejecting 15,432,358,352,941 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only one year!! This makes the atmosphere considerably more thick trapping heat inside of Planet Earth. The results will show up in years to come, and it could be devastating.

I am exaggerating words greatly, and converting tons into pounds making the numbers seem more scary. This makes it so the topic is immediate and should be read. Effectively selling more copies.

This article was about a group of children known as the "newsies" who were raising their voices to advocate for their rights.

The strike began in New York City in 1899, it took place there. The strike was against how the newsies were being exploited by unethical commercial tactics.

Typically, they would labor 10 to 12 hours every day.

The purpose of the newsies' strike was to refuse to sell either newspaper and to warn anyone who attempted to do so. They eventually won a little triumph, with the Pulitzer and Hearst publications agreeing to purchase back unsold copies from the newsies for a higher price than the newsies would have received if they hadn't raised their voices.
