(50 points) "since stars are 100 percent certified balls of gas, they are not immune from the fate that greeted our hapless clouds. if one star in a binary system becomes a black hole, then the black hole does not get to eat until late in the companion star’s life, when it swells to become a red giant. if the red giant grows large enough, then it will ultimately get flayed, as the black hole peels and eats the star, layer by layer. but for a star that just happens to wander into the neighborhood, tidal forces will initially stretch it, but eventually, differential rotation will shear the star into a friction-heated disk of highly luminous gas." —“death by black hole,” neil degrasse tyson what is the central idea of this passage from tyson’s essay? a) black holes and stars are both gigantic balls of gas. b)black holes are a dangerous and powerful force in the universe. c)black holes eat anything that comes within their reach. d)red giants are protected from black holes by their size.

Read the excerpt from chapter 18 in frankenstein. alas! to me the idea of an immediate union with my elizabeth was one of horror and dismay. i was bound by a solemn promise which i had not yet fulfilled and dared not break, or if i did, what manifold miseries might not impend over me and my devoted family! could i enter into a festival with this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground? i must perform my engagement and let the monster depart with his mate before i allowed myself to enjoy the delight of a union from which i expected peace. examine this excerpt to analyze the way the author’s choice of words adds to the meaning and impacts the tone of this portion of frankenstein. what does victor mean when he talks about “this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground”? how do these words affect the tone at this point in the story? use examples and evidence from the text to support your analysis. frankenstein chapter 18
