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.

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.

What is the main idea of this text?
A. Firebrands were hard to keep lit.
B. Nature provided fire to early humans.
C. The history of the match is interesting.
D. The match made life easier for humans.
Answer:
The answer is the match made life easier for humans.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
You can most definitely find the main idea of a granted passage from the topic sentence which in this case talks about how matches were something humans couldn't light fire without and later goes into detail about who discovered the consisting elements and partitions of matches.
Is this a good Poem?
Darkness is all I see, No brightness in site My soul feels empty, My heart is no more Sunlight can't mask the darkness Rainbows cant mask the loneliness Rain can't let the tears fall, wind can't blow away the emptiness. The drizzle sprinkles on the glass seeing myself in the mirror wondering who am I I don't need to be repaired but simply need to be found Where there is darkness there is light. Where there is hatred there is kindness when there is despair there is hope. The waves go up and down reminding me that darkness goes aways Sunflowers bloom light into my empty soul. I see a glimpse of happiness Shining into my Heart. The breeze passes through the leaves on trees, gently calming my racing heart The rainbow sends light into my dark soul. My soul glows at night and sparkles through the daylight.

Which argument is true based on this excerpt from the US Constitution?
Write a 3 paragraph response to the following prompt. Use evidence
What were the causes of imperialism?
Answer:
To understand the impact of different empires that existed during the Long Nineteenth Century, we must seek to understand three topics. The first is the how and why of "imperialism." We know that industrialized countries like Britain, France, and the United States built and ruled empires in this period. But why then? What motivated the governments and their people? What made it possible for them, at that particular point in history, to expand their authority so far around the globe?Of course, you can probably answer a lot of those questions right now, thanks to previous units. You'll remember how nationalism drove some countries to compete with each other, and one way to compete was by seizing overseas territory. Ironically, reformers–who in theory are the ones trying to make things better–sometimes actually drove imperialism. They argued that taking territories was OK, or even desirable, if the goal was to (in their words) "civilize and improve" their populations. Unfortunately, their idea of improvement was often less "how can we help?" and more "how can we change you to fit our needs?" Imperialist claims of racial superiority were also becoming powerful in this era, so colonial subjects were often treated as racially inferior.
Possibly the most important factor in the construction of new and larger empires in this period was industrialization. In the first place, industrialized countries were now able to conquer and rule other societies, especially those that were not industrialized. Machine guns and artillery obviously played a role, but it wasn't just about weapons. When only one side has steamships, railroads, telegraphs, and new medicines, they have a great advantage occupying and ruling whoever doesn't have those tools.
Industrialization also provided one of the motives for empire-building. Industry needed raw material to turn into goods, and it needed markets in which to sell them. Colonies promised to provide both. The minerals of a colony's land could be mined, its forests cut, its fish caught–all to feed the factories of the empire. Then, those factories could produce goods that could be sold to people in the colonies, who would have little choice except to buy them.
All of these motives came together in what we call imperialism. Imperialism was the set of ideas and actions that people in some societies supported in the conquest and rule of people in other societies, who were treated unevenly. It was a set of ideas and actions that were especially relevant in a few industrialized societies that built empires, but that also came to be shared quite widely during this era.

How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan references her writing career to build the idea that writing is the most satisfying career choice for Asian Americans. Tan references her work with language to build the idea that all forms of English are purposeful and meaningful. Tan references her fascination with language to build the idea that daily life is the best language source for writers. Tan references her thoughts about language to build the idea that more people should think about their language usage.
Amy Tan builds the central idea of the story by showing a reference to her work with language to construct the idea that all forms of English are purposeful and meaningful, as shown in the second answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Amy Tan shows that language is essential in her work, as she is a writer.This requires her to be more sensitive to different forms of language and what makes communication meaningful.For this reason, it reflects how much the meaning of language is and how all ways of establishing it are important and full of meaning.Through questions similar to yours, we can see that your question refers to the text presented in the figure below.

The Beggar and the King
by Winthrop Parkhurst
[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]
[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]
THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.
THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?
THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.
THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?
THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.
THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.
THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.
THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?
THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.
THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.
THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.
THE KING: Then bring out the spears.
THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.
THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.
THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.
THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.
THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.
THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?
THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.
THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.
THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.
THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.
THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.
THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.
THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.
THE KING: I am listening.
THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.
THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
In The Beggar and the King, what does the king's reaction to the beggar reveal about the king?
The king has no respect for human life.
The king welcomes advice from his servants.
The king is troubled by poverty and suffering.
The king is unsure how to use his authority.
Answer:
The king is troubled by poverty and suffering
