1. this question is based on the following passage. according to science, the fastest speed possible for anything is the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. that is, in one minute, light travels 11,160,000 miles. the star nearest earth is the sun. it's about 93,000,000 miles from earth. therefore, it takes sunlight about eight minutes to travel to earth. so, when you see the sun, you aren't seeing it as it is. you're seeing it as it was eight minutes ago. since the stars are much farther away than our sun, imagine how far back in time you're seeing them! it's obvious that humans will never travel to planets near even the closest stars. which statement from this passage is an example of an opinion? a. according to science, . . the speed of light . . is about 186,000 miles per second. b. so, when you see the sun, you aren't seeing it as it is. c. the star nearest earth is the sun. d. it's obvious that humans will never travel to planets near even the closest stars.

Which excerpt from the awakening best highlights the elation edna feels when she thinks of robert? the morning was full of sunlight and hope. edna could see before her no denial—only the promise of excessive joy. she lay in bed awake, with bright eyes full of speculation. “he loves you, poor fool.” he would come to her in the afternoon or evening, sit and roll his cigarette, talk a little, and go away as he had done the night before. but how delicious it would be to have him there with her! robert did not come that day. she was keenly disappointed. he did not come the following day, nor the next. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. his horses were full of mettle, and even a little unmanageable. she liked the rapid gait at which they spun along, and the quick, sharp sound of the horses' hoofs on the hard road.
