Read the following informational text and answer the question that follows. Nuclear Power: No Need for a Meltdown The ability to
split atoms and harness the power released has been around since the 1950s. Nuclear power is a safe, relatively clean and renewable source of energy. Considering the energy costs of the United States, it makes good sense to develop the American nuclear power industry. At present there are just over 100 nuclear plants in America providing 20% of our nation's electricity needs. No new nuclear power plants have been built since the 1970s. While America has neglected nuclear power plant development, other countries have enthusiastically utilized nuclear power plants to lessen their greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Modern advances in nuclear reactor construction and monitoring have resulted in safer energy production. Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia, are very unlikely in the twenty-first century. Nuclear power is safer than ever before. Unfortunately, the initial costs in building a nuclear power plant are very high. Nuclear reactors can cost as much as eight billion dollars. Another challenge is that building plants that meet the safety requirements of the American public takes a long time. Financing such long term construction products is often beyond the ability or not in the interests of private commercial banks. Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money, the federal government should step in and finance construction. Other governments around the world justify financing nuclear power plant construction as a vital national interest; we should too Which of the following lines from the article best states the authors point of view?
A. “ No new nuclear power plants have been built since 1970s”
B. “Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia”
C. “ Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money”
D. “ Nuclear power is safer than ever before”
I believe it's either A or D. More so A, because throughout the whole article, the author is talking about building new and more Nuclear Power Plants. Although there was some focus on how it was safer than ever, I think that was just to add the authors main POV of building new power plants.
Mcbeth’s Tragic flaw is that he believes in great potential and he gives in his flaw, but with ambition. He then murders the king and Mcbeth captures his throne. Then he fulfills his prophecy that no man born of a women could end him and by end i mean to kill him.
In this passage from Ayn Rand's "Anthem", the narrator is exploring an abandonen tunnel made from an unknown material.
The narrator describes the walls as "hard and smooth" and "cold as glass". This depiction leads us to believe that the interior of the tunel is made of man-made concrete.
The narrator states that the material feel like stone but it is not, therefore answer A is incorrect. The walls are also said to be soft, making C incorrect as well. And there is no mention of the walls being wet, for what answer D is not correct either.
In 1864, The Battle of Fort Pillow, which is also refered to as the Fort Pillow massacre, occured during the civil war in America at Fort Pillow which was on River Mississippi in Tennessee.
This led to the death of about three hundred African American soldiers. Harper's Weekly account shows how the soldiers were being killed by the Confederates. Also, the weekly account included the numbers of wounded and dead.
