. . . Budget cuts always eliminate the least necessary. We drop premium cable before heat or electricity. Harvard’s decision [to close the primate research center] suggests that it, too, knows that primate research isn’t a necessary expense or a justifiable cruelty. But the monkeys will not celebrate if sent to another lab, as planned. They deserve protection from further harmful research. Sanctuaries, with financing, would be able to take them. I hope that Harvard, which has profited plenty, will do the right thing: Retire the monkeys with the support necessary to live the rest of their lives in safety and comfort [in a primate nature preserve].

What is the claim of this article?
a The main claim is “We drop premium cable before heat or electricity.”
b The main claim is “Harvard should retire the monkeys to a nature preserve.
c There is no claim in this letter.

Read the following paragraph, and answer the question.

Of all the attributes essential to a respected man or woman or to a respected nation, the predominant characteristic is self-discipline. Laws cannot be made compelling people to suppress thelr desire for power or position. No method of legislating such wisdom exists. As free people, we must face a choice between two types of discipline. One is the self-discipline that is still open to us-the kind which free people and free nations exercise when they select the executives, lawmakers, and Judges who will govern them and assure their protection and well-being. The second is a cold blooded, ill-Intentioned, godless form of discipline that may be thrust upon us by strangers-the discipline of force, terrorism, suspicion, and intimidation-the discipline used in China and the former Soviet Republic.

What is another word for ¨what so ever¨?

based on the details in this excerpt, what conclusion can be drawn about pharos in ancient Egypt

The 15th century to the 18th century was an age of exploration. Many people in Europe were searching for a better life with greater opportunities. The desire for a better life led many to journey across the ocean to find new land to settle. Many European explorers landed in what they called the New World, which would later be called North America. These explorations were filled with challenges.

The first challenge faced by many explorers was money. They needed financial backing to fund the ships, cargo, and crew required to make such a long journey. The solution was royalty, and explorers would approach kings and queens to convince them to invest in their voyages. If the king and queen agreed, then the explorer would have the money needed to fund an expedition. In return, any lands discovered during the voyage were claimed by that country.

The next step was to obtain a seaworthy ship. Many ships were built during the age of exploration, but not all could handle a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. New ships designs were created to suit long voyages. One such type was called a caravel, which was a small ship created for exploration in the 1400s. This type of ship was equipped with cargo space for voyages up to a year long. Caravels were also considered seaworthy because they could travel about 90–100 miles in a day.

Once aboard, the explorers set sail and used maps to navigate through known territory. The maps were not useful once sailors were out of sight of land or in unknown territory. How would they navigate over the vast Atlantic Ocean without any land markers to guide them? This problem led to the invention of navigation equipment. Compasses have a magnetized metal needle that always points north. Sailors use them as a point of reference to tell if their ship is in the right position to move forward. In order to find their location, sailors used astrolabes, sextants, cross staffs, or quadrants to find latitude. With these tools, explorers were able to sail on to discover new lands.

The final–and perhaps most difficult–challenge for many explorers was survival, as voyages could be long and tense. Maintaining supplies and finding land were important to prevent mutinies from occurring. Unfortunately, bringing supplies that would last the entire voyage led to another problem: scurvy. Many sailors died from the disease, as they ate preserved food at sea. To survive, sailors needed to obtain and eat fresh vegetables and fruits.

When sailors and explorers arrived on land, they had already overcome many obstacles. While more challenges awaited them, explorers were able to disembark and realize that had reached the New World.

Which sentence from the text helps the reader identify its structure?

a. In return, any lands discovered during the voyage were claimed by that country.
Selected:b. The 15th century to the 18th century was an age of exploration.This answer is incorrect.
c. This problem led to the invention of navigation equipment.
d. This type of ship was equipped with cargo space for voyages up to a year long.
