STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman
1911
THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
How does the author develop the idea that relying on nature was problematic? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.
Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "in the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark".
To express the problems further, the author also says that they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.

To,
The Editor
XYZ Daily Express
New Delhi
23 May 2018
Subject: Miserable situation of traffic in our area.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed newspaper about the horrendous situation of traffic in and around ABC Colony. Not only is the traffic bad on normal days, but it also becomes much worse during the monsoons and winters. There are no traffic lights working, nor are there any traffic policemen on duty. Moreover, the road is full of potholes that further disrupts and pose a huge threat to the movement of traffic and even the safety of both drivers and the ones walking.
The colony’s welfare association has written to the concerned authorities about the issue but no action has been taken so far. So, I am writing to your newspaper in the hope that the issue catches the attention of the concerned authorities.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mr. Atul Sharma
A resident of ABC Colony.

Hello
can u help me plz asap
look the photo
plz help i will give brainliest
Answer:
National stereotype in today's era is too crucial to be ignored. In Britain for example, Americans are prejudiced to the extent that even their 'modern way of living' has been misapprehended. It is believed in Britain that Americans are loud, and that they only eat from fast food shops and wear colorful outfits only, which may not be entirely true. The fact that you see something somewhere, just like the British see that kind of 'lifestyle' of Americans in the movies doesn't mean that it is the same thing in reality, i.e, their lifestyle. When you prejudice, you lose your opportunity of truly knowing who the people really are, and you miss your chance of learning new things.

We don't need society to survive. Statements. Health
Hi, I need help. I’m supposed to say why we don’t need society to survive health in statements
Answer:
Do We Need Society To Survive?
Individuals and society always have a close and deep bond. People are shaped and formed in unique societies. Society would not exist if people did not communicate, discuss, act, and collaborate. To use resources intelligently without overexploitation, society is critical. I agree with Miss Tameya's views on human-society interdependence since society provides an environment for humans to learn how to behave. Giddens and Griffiths claimed that societies contain laws, traditions, and practices that govern human behavior (2008). To enable people to carry out their daily tasks productively and attain their goals that would otherwise be impossible to do alone (Giddens & Griffiths, 2008), society creates social, cultural, economic, and political frameworks.
Macro sociology examines patterns and trends in our social-economic system, social structures, and populations on a vast scale. Macro sociology allows us to see our society from a wider perspective (Caldwell, 2010). Because of macro and micro-sociology, we may grasp human interdependency and the differences between human, animal, and insect civilizations. To learn how the human environment interacts with genetics, we can influence societal makeup (Caldwell, 2010). The ability to build a purposeful relationship, develop different types of technology, grasp better methods of life, and achieve more than nonhuman communities is enhanced when people live together. As a result, I believe that cannot survive without societies as they need other people and other supporting factors to survive.

Which statement from the passage best supports the idea that Penrod does not want to be in the children's play?
Answer:
Last statement
Explanation:
excerpt from Penrod
by Booth Tarkington
A bitter soul dominated the various curved and angular surfaces known by a careless world as the face of Penrod Schoneld. Except in solitude, that face was almost always cryptic and emotionless; for Penrod had come into his twelfth year wearing an expression carefully trained to be Inscrutable. Since the world was sure to misunderstand everything, mere defensive instinct prompted him to give it as little as possible to lay hold upon. Nothing is more impenetrable than the face of a boy who has learned this, and Penrod was habitual as fathomless as the depth of his hatred this morning for the literary activities of Mrs. Lora Rewbush-an almost universally respected fellow citizen, a lady of charitable and poetic inclinations, and one of his own mother's most intimate friends.
Mrs. Laura Rewbush had written something which she called "The Children's Pageant of the Table Round, and it was to be performed in public that very afternoon at the Women's Arts and Guild Hall. And if any flavor of sweetness remained in the nature of Penrod Schofield after the dismal trials of the school week just past, that problematic, Infinitesimal remnant was made pungent acid by the imminence of his destiny to form a prominent feature of this spectacle, and to declaim the loathsome sentiments of the character named upon the program the Child Sir Lancelot.
