Read the following excerpt from holes. stanley and his parents didn't believe in curses, of course, but whenever anything went wrong, it felt good to be able to blame someone. things went wrong a lot. they always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. he looked out the window at the vast emptiness. he watched the rise and fall of a telephone wire. in his mind he could hear his father's gruff voice softly singing to him. question-which sentence from the excerpt contains a stated physical trait? 1.stanley and his parents didn’t believe in curses, of course, but whenever anything 2.went wrong, it felt good to be able to blame someone. 3.they always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. 4.he watched the rise and fall of a telephone wire. 5.in his mind he could hear his father’s gruff voice softly singing to him.

4). He watched the rise and fall of a telephone wire.

Explanation:

Physical trait is described as the traits or aspects that are explicit or visually evident. Stated physical traits would imply the physical traits that are intentionally proclaimed by the author.

In the given excerpt from 'Holes', option 4 displays the sentence that contains a stated physical trait as the description of 'watching the rise and fall of a telephone wire' implies the 'visually apparent or physical feature'. The other options(options 1, 2, 3, and 5) imply the 'psychological traits' as implied by the descriptions like 'didn't believe', 'always seemed..in wrong place', 'in his mind' imply mental traits. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
