A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes completely in front of the sun. There are five phases of a total solar eclipse. During the first phase, the partial eclipse phase, the moon begins to pass in front of the sun, blocking a fraction of it. Second, the
total eclipse phase begins and the moon blocks the light from the sun when viewed from a specific location. The third phase,
called the totality, is the specific point when the moon completely covers the sun. In this phase, the sky becomes dark as the
umbra, or complete shadow of the moon, totally hides the sun's rays, bathing the earth in darkness. In one of the most dramatic
elements of a total solar eclipse, the sun's corona, or upper atmosphere, shines all around the moon, which appears black against
the fiery halo of the corona. During the fourth phase, the total eclipse ends when the moon begins to move away from the sun
and the sky lightens. Finally, in the fifth phase, the moon moves completely out of line with the sun and the eclipse ends.
Which of the following is a major supporting detail in the one paragraph essay above?

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
