Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, starting to undress for the night, thought it was like a heavy wave striking the ship. Mrs J. Stuart White was sitting on the edge of her bed, just reaching to turn out the light, when the ship seemed to roll over ‘a thousand marbles’. To Lady Cosmo Duff Gordon, waking up from the jolt, it seemed ‘as though somebody had drawn a giant finger along the side of the ship’. Mrs John Jacob Astor thought it was some mishap in the kitchen.
It seemed stronger to some than to others. Mrs Albert Caldwell pictured a large dog that had a baby kitten in its mouth and was shaking it. Mrs Walter B. Stephenson recalled the first ominous jolt when she was in the San Francisco earthquake – then decided this wasn’t that bad. Mrs E. D. Appleton felt hardly any shock at all, but she noticed an unpleasant ripping sound … like someone tearing a long, long strip of calico.
The jar meant more to J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, who, in a festive mood, was going along for a ride on the Titanic’s first trip. Ismay woke up with a start in his de luxe suite on B deck – he felt sure the ship had struck something, but he didn’t know what.

Based on what you know about the workers and passengers reactions, what is the central idea of the story?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Instead of investigating the cause of the noise and movements of the ship, the passengers and workers try to connect it with something familiar and convince themselves that they are in no immediate danger. For example, Mrs. Walter B. Stephenson compared the jolts to an earthquake and convinced herself that the earthquake was worse. This leads me to believe that the central idea of the story is that people often try to downplay and underestimate dangerous situations when they have no clue what is actually going on.

Hope this helps you!!

Answers

Answer:

A story about a prisoner discretely leaving an instruction on the floor whilst in prison.

Dr Mannete was deeply troubled and startled by the story.

Explanation:

A couple of months after his acquittal from his trial in court, Charles Darnay decides to pay the Manettes a visit at their home in Soho, France.

Whilst discussing, Darnay related a story he heard on a recent trip to the Tower of London where a prisoner discretely left an instruction by writing the inscription 'D.I.G' on the floor of the prison house.

Charles Darnay went on to say that years later when the ground underneath the inscription 'D.I.G' was dug up, an old leather suitcase with the ashes of a letter was found.

Dr Manette did not receive the story very well. He was startled and his face became very pale as if he was not feeling well. Clearly, the story struck a wrong chord with him as it reminded him of events while he was imprisoned.

Select the phrase that more clearly shows the beauty of expression.

Explain the importance of being able to see a situation from another person's point of
view.

Answers

Answer:

It is important to be able to see a situation from another person's point of view because it is easy to judge people. You don't know what someone has been through and you don't know how they would interpret something. That's why, before you judge someone based on their reaction/perception of something, you must try and see things from their point of view.

Explanation:

Let's say you have a family. Your parents are together and happy. From a kid who's parents are divorced, this may seem strange to them. So, if you invite that kid over and your parents are inviting and happy and loving to each other, it may make that person uncomfortable. Now, before you go and judge them for being uncomfortable around your perfectly normal parents, you have to consider how strange and not normal this is to them. You have to consider that they may have never seen their parents happy before and the sight of your happy parents may confuse them and maybe even scare them because it's something they have never seen or experienced before.

what do you think is responsible for the energy being produced in a good and sustainable way

Answers

Sustainable Energy Utilities

Sustainable energy utilities (SEU) represent an attempt by multiple utilities within a geographic region to place all energy efficiency operations under one roof, are more akin to an energy efficiency business model than a financing strategy. However, there is overlap. In Delaware, for instance, Citibank issued a $57 million tax-exempt bond through the state’s AA+ rated municipality to fund energy efficiency projects. Delaware’s sustainable energy utility contracts with energy service companies that execute projects and which repay the SEU’s debt service to bond holders through shared savings agreements. By 2020, Delaware’s SEU anticipates that up to 93 percent of its revenue ($56.2 million) will be self-sustaining through shared savings agreements and REC sales. Today, REC sales and energy efficiency savings account for roughly half of the utility’s revenues – estimated to be between $15 to 20 million in 2011. The remaining half derives from a utility public benefit fund, which is seeded through a utility surcharge.

The principle difference between a public benefit fund and an SEU is that an SEU is attempting to accrue revenue through shared energy savings. Public benefit funds are essentially a mandated hand-out while SEUs represent a capitalistic approach to energy efficiency. Vermont is the only other state to have formalized an SEU.
