Source 1: Reagan’s Remarks on East-West Relations at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, June 12, 1987

(1) … Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same—still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.…

(2) … And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.…



Source 2: Harald Jäger—The Man Who Opened the Berlin Wall

(1) Harald Jäger was on duty as the East German border guard officer in charge of the Bornholmer Strasse crossing of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. A few hours earlier, in keeping with the pressure to liberalize that was mounting across eastern Europe, East Berlin politburo member Günter Schabowski had announced that East Germans could travel to the West with correct travel documents. However, he ended his announcement with the words “immediately and without delay.”

(2) These words caused great confusion and led to thousands of East Germans coming to checkpoints and asking if they could go to West Berlin. Mr. Jäger tried several times to get clarification from his superiors, but no one was quite sure what was allowed. Eventually, he was told to start letting the noisiest East Berliners through but make their passports invalid. This only led to a noisier crowd.

(3) As the crowd grew and grew, he feared a stampede. Even more, he feared a bloodbath, as all of the East German guards were heavily armed. Mr. Jäger feared that they must do something or people would be hurt. Finally, at 11:30 p.m. on November 9, 1989, Mr. Jäger gave the order, “Open the barrier,” and in so doing unwittingly entered history as the man who opened the Berlin Wall. Thousands and thousands of East Berliners streamed into West Berlin to freedom. The next day, Berliners began to physically tear the wall.

Answer 1

Answer:

"I didn't open the wall. The people who stood here, they did it," says the 71-year-old with a booming voice who was an East German lieutenant colonel in charge of passport control at Bornholmer Street. "Their will was so great, there was no other alternative but to open the border."

Those people had come to his crossing at Bornholmer Street after hearing Politburo member Guenther Schabowski say — mistakenly, as it turns out — at an evening news conference on Nov. 9, 1989, that East Germans would be allowed to cross into West Germany, effective immediately.

Schabowski was a member of the ruling Socialist Unity Party in East Germany who helped force East German leader Erich Honecker from power a month earlier because of mounting public pressure across the Soviet Bloc for reforms.

Jaeger recalls almost choking on his dinner when he heard Schabowski on his workplace cafeteria's TV set. He rushed to the office to get some clarification on what his border guards were supposed to do.

For East Berliners yearning to go to a part of their city that had been off-limits for 28 years, Schabowski's meaning couldn't have been clearer. He was a member of the ruling party, and what he said was law.

c) To persuade readers to believe that oracles influenced historical events in ancient society

d) To engage readers with a humorous reflection of a well-known disagreement between two philosophers over an old myth

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I just took the quiz and it's not C finally got it correct on 2ed try, lol

The author’s intent in writing about the difference between Sophocles’ play and the original myth on which it’s based is to inform readers about how placing power in choice can make a story or myth more engaging. The correct option is b.

What is “Introduction to Oedipus the King” about?

At the beginning of the play, Oedipus is the beloved ruler of Thebes, whose citizens have been afflicted by a plague.

Oedipus consults the Delphic oracle and learns that the plague will end only when the murderer of Queen Jocasta's first husband, King Laius, is apprehended and punished.

It tells the story of King Oedipus of Thebes, who discovers that he has killed his own father, Laius, and married his own mother, Jocasta, unwittingly.

The author's goal in writing about the differences between Sophocles' play and the original myth on which it is based is to educate readers on how putting power in the hands of the reader can make a story or myth more engaging.

Thus, the correct option is b.

1. According to the text, what was the unidentified aircraft at the beginning of the story?
2. What did they do with the pilot-in-training? Furthermore, what do you think that means?​

Answers

Explanation:

The pilot in command (PIC) of an aircraft is the person aboard the aircraft who is ultimately responsible for its operation and safety during flight. This would be the captain in a typical two- or three-pilot aircrew, or "pilot" if there is only one certificated and qualified pilot at the controls of an aircraft. The PIC must be legally certificated (or otherwise authorized) to operate the aircraft for the specific flight and flight conditions, but need not be actually manipulating the controls at any given moment. The PIC is the person legally in charge of the aircraft and its flight safety and operation, and would normally be the primary person liable for an infraction of any flight rule.

The Pilot in Command must hold the rank of Captain, and typically sits in the left seat. The second in command can be a First Officer or another Captain, and will occupy the right seat. An exception exists where a Captain is being trained, in which case two Captains will occupy the cockpit, a Training Captain will be the Pilot in Command and will occupy the right seat.

The strict legal definition of PIC may vary slightly from country to country. The International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency, definition is: "The pilot responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time."[1] Flight time for airplanes is defined by the U.S. FAA as "Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing."[2] This would normally include taxiing, which involves the ground operation to and from the runway, as long as the taxiing is carried out with the intention of flying the aircraft.

Answer:
