📝 Answered - Traditional nineteenth-century education is usually associated with the image of a stern teacher standing in front of a blackboard in a one-room schoolhouse, teaching only the three R's of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and demanding rote (mechanical repetition) learning in an atmosphere of silence and restraint. Accurate or not, that image conflicts sharply with the modern reality. Today, the typical public school offers students a diversity of subject areas, a plethora of educational materials, and a variety of activities from creative dramatics to journalism. The modern school complex contains an array of educational facilities. Within the classroom setting, students are encouraged to speak up and engage in guided discussion. In fact, articulate speech and debate are desirable skills. Children are encouraged to interrelate on class projects that are independent of the teacher. 1. The topic of the text is _______________ A. the traditional nineteenth-century education B. the freedom of students to choose from a variety of subjects C. the role of the teachers in education D. the difference between traditional and modern education E. the teaching of reading, writing, and arithmetic 2.

📝 Answered - Motion sickness comes in many forms, not just seasickness. Ninety percent of the human race is susceptible to motion sickness of one kind or another. Some people become sick when they sit in the backseat of a car, others cannot read or look at a map in any kind of moving vehicle. People get motion sickness on airplanes, motorcycles, amusement park rides, and even on camels! Scientists have learned that motion sickness occurs when the brain is trying to make sense of a situation and there are too many conflicting messages. While the eyes are sending one message, the ears are trying to send a message about balance. The skin and bone joints, sensitive to air pressure, send another message. Many people who have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible. So travelers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid getting sick. The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before traveling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly. Avoid carbonated beverages, high-fat food, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is another important strategy. In a car, sit at the front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon. People who still get sick after trying these strategies can try medical help. Some rely on over-the-counter medications, although some of them can make you sleepy. Others use simple ginger capsules to settle their stomach. A large number of travelers use pressure bands on their wrists. It is not clear how these bands work, but they do prevent motion sickness. A suitable title for the text is: a. Motion Sickness b. Effect of Motion Sickness c. Susceptibility to Motion Sickness d. Inability to Avoid Motion Sickness e. The Worst Kind of Motion Sickness
