ASSAAPPP/According to the excerpt, what helped Einstein to draw the conclusion that space was like a stretchy blanket rather than rigid nothingness, as Newton believed? This new idea about space changed the way scientists think about gravity.
Most of the time gravity seems to work the way Newton described it.
Newton's rules explain a lot, from falling apples to most planets' orbits.
Mercury's orbit—up close to the Sun—has a blip in it that Newton's laws can't explain.

Mercury's orbit—up close to the Sun—has a blip in it that Newton's laws can't explain.

Explanation:

"Newton's rules explain a lot, from falling apples to most planets’ orbits. But his laws don't work perfectly. In high-gravity zones, Newton's ideas don't jibe with what scientists observe. For example, Mercury's orbit—up close to the Sun—has a blip in it that Newton's laws can't explain." Newton's laws may usually explain everything, but this one just had something weird, so Einstein wanted to work to find why he had that feeling, and he eventually did. This was the answer he got when he figured it out.

try to do soaps tone.

s-subject

o-occasion (the reason the author wrote the poem)

a-audience (who is this poem mostly for)

p-purpose (was it to convince, inspire, etc. the audience)

s-speaker (can be the author or another character, like is a child, adult, woman, elderly, animal narrating the poem)

tone- the mood the reader gets from this poem

mood- the mood the author had with their own poem

meaning- what do you think the meaning is?

message- what is the author trying to explain to the audience? like what is the theme?

if you still don't get it try showing everyone the poem so they could unravel it
