Answer: naive and overly idealistic
Explanation:
You are using a Styrofoam ball as a model of Earth. If you were to spin your model the same amount of times Earth spins in one day, how many times would you spin it? (2 points)
a
Four times
b
Once
c
Three times
d
Twice
Answer:
B. once
Explanation:
You would spin it once because the earth does 1 rotation in 1 day (24 hours). And that rotation fills up a whole day of course. Also, If you noticed that the sun seems to move in the sky, it does not. It is just the earth rotating. Same for stars and the moon. That is also what makes up night. The earth is always rotating!!

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse
Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two
The 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? Something's gone wrong out here...."

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."
Laughter shook the general. "How extraordinarily droll you are!" he said. "One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naive, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view. It's like finding a snuff-box in a limousine. Ah, well, doubtless you had Puritan ancestors. So many Americans appear to have had. I'll wager you'll forget your notions when you go hunting with me. You've a genuine new thrill in store for you, Mr. Rainsford."
"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."
"Dear me," said the general, quite unruffled, "again that unpleasant word. But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded."

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers-no cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.
How does the third sentence ("That makes walking...") support the main idea of the paragraph?
A lt points out that walking is a good introduction to exercise for beginners.
B It says that walking is too easy for people who have experience with exercise.
C It points out that beginning exercisers may not like walking because it is too easy.
D It says that walking is less costly than other activities because it needs no equipment.

1. My perception is that they are happy, friendly, and tough yet kind, people.
2. You would want to commiserate someone who has had a tough day or if they just lost a loved one.
3. I think a disciplined person would clean up after themselves, call adults Mam and Sir and not put their elbows on the table.
4. A transition can be difficult because you might be leaving things behind that you love.
5. It is important to be tolerant of others because you don’t know what people are going through. Maybe that guy that won’t pull up in the drive thru just found out that he was fired or maybe his dad passed away. You don’t know. (Told you it would be creative haha.)
6. People who attempt a diffucult endeavor have my respect, learning a new language or learning to play the fiddle would not be easy.

Some of them include stressful feelings such as regret, guilt, personal failure, depression, and anxiety.
The addicted binge-watcher also has a sense of wasted time and activity because he feels that he should have invested his time in something better.

B or c

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.
Based on this excerpt, the authors are most likely to attempt to answer which question?
A. How did colonists challenge the rules of crowned kings?
B. How did the Age of Sugar differ from the Age of Revolutions?
C. When did Europeans decide to speak about equality?
D. Why did some Europeans decide they wanted to speak out about slavery?
