A.Explain why cosmetic surgeons are researching limb replacement
B.Suggest that a bionic hand could not be made to look like a natural one
C.Highlight the differences between a bionic hand and a natural one
D.Inform readers about the development of bionic hands for three men
Milorad Marinkovic, age 30, lost the use of his right hand in a motorcycle accident in 2001. He never thought he'd be able to control a prosthetic as naturally as he controlled his unaffected hand. Neither did his doctors. But in 2011, Marinkovic replaced his injured hand with a bionic one. It responds to thought, just as a natural hand does.
The patients then needed to learn to use faint signals from those nerves to command the artificial hand. Now, the men use their new, bionic hands to perform everyday tasks. They can pick up a ball, handle small items like coat buttons and shoelaces, and cut food with a knife.
Previously, people with bionic hands have primarily controlled them with manual settings. But with the new groundbreaking technique, the transplanted nerves allow the brain to relay messages directly to the new extremity. It's particularly notable since the human hand contains sophisticated muscle structures and a complex nerve system, making it especially difficult to copy.
Dr. Oskar Aszmann of the Medical University of Vienna developed the bionic reconstruction approach with some of his coworkers. He performed the first surgery in April 2011 on an Austrian named Patrick, then age 24. (Patrick declined to give his last name.) He had lost the use of his left hand as the result of a work injury three years earlier.
"This is the first time we have bionically reconstructed a hand," Dr. Aszmann said at the time. "If I saw these kinds of patients five to seven years ago, I would have just shrugged my shoulders and said, 'There's nothing I can do for you.'"
Aszmann's team described the cases of the three men in a report published in the journal Lancet in February 2015. All three men had suffered injuries to the brachial plexus. This is a network of nerves running from the spine to the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand, and it controls movement in these areas.
Injuries had left the hands of these men paralyzed. They opted to undergo the elective amputation only after having the bionic hand strapped onto their injured hand. This allowed them to see how the robotic one might work.
Now, after the surgery, Marinkovic loves his new hand. It allows him to hold things like a sandwich or a bottle of water—and most importantly, to play with his three children. Still, the bionic hand is not the same as a natural one.

1a. Which of the following is not a synonym for the word "sanitized" (paragraph 4)?
A. clean
B. germ-free
C. unhealthy
D. disinfected
1b. What in the text helped you answer question 1a?
2a. Why did the International Institute for Species Exploration come up with a top-ten list of new species?
A. Scientists are fond of making lists.
B. They wanted to honor Carl Linnaeus.
C. There were only ten new species discovered in 2013.
D. They hoped this idea would draw people's attention to biodiversity.
2b. What in the text helped you answer question 2a?
3. Paragraph 2 begins like this: "Generally, people sense that much of the news about wildlife species is discouraging." What fact contributes to this attitude?
4. What fact makes scientists hopeful that they will discover many more species in the future?
Answer:
1a. C. unhealthy
1b. The word "not" in the question indicates that the correct answer is the opposite of the other answer choices. The text describes how sanitization is used to remove unhealthy germs and bacteria, making option C the opposite of the others.
2a. D. They hoped this idea would draw people's attention to biodiversity.
2b. The text states that the top-ten list was created "to draw attention to the biodiversity crisis and the unsung species explorers and museums who continue a 250-year tradition of discovering and describing the millions of kinds of plants, animals, and microbes with whom we share this planet."
1) The fact that contributes to this attitude is that many species are declining in numbers or are at risk of extinction due to human activities, such as habitat destruction and climate change. The text states, "Human pressures on wildlife are typically negative, and species that adapt well to our presence tend to be those we consider pests or invaders."
2) The fact that makes scientists hopeful is that there are still many unexplored and remote areas on the planet where new species may exist. The text states, "There are still vast unexplored areas, particularly in the ocean depths and in tropical forests, where new species can be discovered." Additionally, advances in technology and genetic analysis are helping scientists to identify new species that may have been previously overlooked.
What is the theme of the poem and why explain your reasoning
I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before morning
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I die before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth about me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.

PLEASE HELP!
Emma was having a wonderful time at summer camp. She’d made friends with
all the girls in her cabin, and she was having taking part in all the activities, and
she even secretly enjoyed some of the chores.
One day, a package arrived at camp from Emma’s grandmother. The other girls
in the cabin were excited about what the package contained, and watched as
Emma opened it. Inside was a box of her grandmother’s homemade caramels,
which were Emma’s favorite. She was about to eat one of them when one of the
other girls asked if she could have a caramel. Then the other girls asked the
same question. Emma counted the caramels. There were ten in the box. There
were eight other girls in the cabin, so if she gave each of them one caramel,
there would only be two left for her. She thought about keeping them for herself.
After all, they were her favorite, and her grandmother had sent them to her. As
much as she loved the caramels, though, she also wanted her friends to get a
chance to try them. So she gave each girl a caramel. That night they all got a
treat, and Emma was glad she’d shared her favorite treat with her new friends.

Answer:
story teller
Explanation:
i think its in story teller mode
i need help with my essay if its not too much to ask for.
i got removed from playing in band class so now i need to write essays on trumpets, trumpet players, etc for it.
this essay is about the origin of the trumpet. here's what i have so far:
The trumpet originated in Egypt and was either made of silver or bronze and was a sacred instrument to only be played in the worship of Egyptian god Osiris. The trumpet was later adopted by Israelites. A spin-off that was produced by Etruscan people was called the lituus. Unlike regular trumpets that were made from different types of metals, the lituus was made/carved from goat horns.
it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me a little.
Answer:
The trumpet is one of the oldest instruments in the world and has been used in many different styles of music for centuries. It has a rich history full of rich sounds, and its players have made tremendous contributions to jazz, classical, pop, rock, and even hip-hop. To honor these remarkable musicians, this essay will explore the history of trumpet playing and the individuals who have shaped its development.The first trumpets were large straight horns made of wood, brass, or bronze. These shofar-like instruments were used in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The modern trumpet was developed around 1500s, when it acquired its familiar elongated shape with a conical bore and a bell at the end. Its sound was used to signal battles and announce kings, as well as play music.
The Renaissance saw the early development of trumpet playing, as it began to be used in courtly music. During this period, virtuoso players began to emerge, creating original music and developing new techniques. This led to the creation of the Baroque trumpet, which was characterized by its high-pitched tone. This allowed the trumpet to soar above other instruments in unison with the voice.
In the late eighteenth century, the trumpet’s role in classical music diminished as the size and range of the instrument changed. However, it regained its attention in the twentieth century when jazz emerged.

Mom’s Promise
Jasmine and Jeremiah’s mom was dedicated to her children. She taxied them back and forth to school, dance classes, soccer practice, and any other activity they wanted to do — basically, if the kids had a desire to pursue it, their mom would find a way to make it happen.
Of course, there were times that Jasmine and Jeremiah couldn’t get what they yearned for. For instance, one summer, Jasmine and Jeremiah begged to visit a large amusement park that they kept seeing advertised on TV, but their mom knew it was beyond their budget for vacation that year. She told them she would do everything she could to make their vacation dream come to fruition the next year, but she made “no promises.”
At the time, Jasmine was vexed. She rolled her eyes as she reflected on how her mom had never kept a promise in her life! But that wasn’t true — it wasn't that Mom didn't keep promises. She had never actually made a promise to Jasmine and Jeremiah.
Before the kids were born, Jasmine and Jeremiah's mom made an oath to herself. She knew that it would be important to instill a sense of honesty in her children. She wanted them to know the importance of being trustworthy — and she also knew if she made promises she didn’t keep, her children would not have confidence in her. They wouldn’t depend on her because they wouldn’t know if they could actually rely on her.
Mom never wanted that to happen, so once Jasmine and Jeremiah were around, she avoided ever making promises.
Of course, the kids would try to trick her — sometimes, they would try to get Mom to promise something really simple that seemed to guarantee to happen! There was no danger in making a promise that she would keep, right? But every time, Mom would still refuse.
Sometimes, on Thursday nights, Jeremiah would ask Mom if they could have pizza for dinner the following night. He knew that they had a family pizza night every Friday, but he wanted to try to scheme his mom into making a promise.
When Mom agreed — with a smile, of course, since she knew their tricks — Jeremiah would grin back and ask, “Promise?”
But Mom wouldn’t promise — and anytime they asked her to, she would reply with a loving, “I’ll try my best.”
One day, when Jasmine and Jeremiah interrogated Mom about why she wouldn’t make a promise, she explained it like this: “I want you to always trust me, and I want you to know that I mean what I say. But sometimes, things are out of our control; nothing in life is guaranteed. I might want to tell you something is definite, but there are some circumstances out of our control. I never want to break a promise to you, and the only way to guarantee I don’t break a promise is to never make one.”
Mom put her hands on Jasmine and Jeremiah’s shoulders. “I will make you one promise, but it’s the only one I’ll make. I promise I will always try my best.”
i tried to write like two paragraphs
parents should try to always be as honest as they could be. If they can't be honest they should not tell them anything that isn't guaranteed. being open builds a foundation of trust because trust is vital for any relationship but especially those with children. being open and honest gives a child no reason to doubt the parent unless the parent gives them a reason to. without honesty, children may find it difficult to build healthy relationships and have a successful future. parents need to set a positive example so that when their children are older, they are honest with people close to them.
for parents, it can be hard, to be honest, all the time because they can be dealing with difficult situations where the child might not understand. parents want their children to look up to them, respect them, love them, and believe that they will always have the right answers to many of their questions. but many parents think that lying is the best way for that to happen. being honest is always the better option. it gives the child a sense of security that their parent won't lie to them about something extremely important. parents being honest with their children makes children realize as they get older that they can go to them with anything, at any time, and they will understand.

Answer:first person
Explanation:
Read each question and discuss it with your classmates. Then write down the answers your group comes up with. If you do not have access to classmates, you may answer each question on your own.
1. Identify the claim and supporting reasons in the essay "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time" from this lesson.
2. Evaluate how the essay "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time" uses evidence to back up its supporting reasons. Is some of the evidence more effective than other evidence? Is any of the evidence weak or ineffective?
3. Between the essay, "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time," and the three advertisements you examined earlier, which do you think is the most convincing? Explain your answer.
4. Identify at least two logical fallacies from the essay, "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time," or any of the three advertisements you examined earlier. Explain why each example is a fallacy and how it affects the persuasiveness of the text.
In the essay "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time," the claim is that parents should not limit screen time for their children. The supporting reasons are likely to be the arguments or points presented in the essay to back up the claim. Since I don't have access to the specific content of the essay, I cannot provide the exact supporting reasons, but they could include arguments related to the educational benefits of certain screen time activities, the importance of digital literacy, or the positive impact on children's social skills.
Without access to the essay "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time," I cannot evaluate the specific evidence used in the essay. However, effective evidence should be relevant, credible, and well-supported, such as citing research studies or expert opinions. Weak or ineffective evidence might be based on personal anecdotes or unsupported claims that lack factual basis.
Since I don't have access to the essay and the three advertisements you examined earlier, I cannot compare them directly to determine which one is the most convincing. The persuasive power of each piece of writing or advertisement depends on various factors, such as the strength of the arguments, the quality of evidence presented, and the appeal to the target audience.
As I don't have access to the essay "Why Parents Should Not Limit Screen Time" or the three advertisements you examined earlier, I cannot identify specific logical fallacies from those texts. However, common examples of logical fallacies might include ad hominem attacks, where the author attacks the character of their opponents instead of addressing their arguments, or appeal to authority, where the author uses the endorsement of an authority figure without providing substantial evidence. Logical fallacies can weaken the persuasiveness of a text by undermining the credibility and validity of the arguments presented.
