KENNETH
DAD
MOM
(Setting: The Washington family’s kitchen)
JEANNETTE: I’ve perused this bevy of travel pamphlets and I have no inkling of where I want to go on vacation. I thought about attending a performance at the city’s amphitheater; however, the city will be in bedlam with the performance and the sporting event occurring simultaneously.
MOM: I didn’t find a worthwhile destination either.
KENNETH: I’ve concluded that we should embark on an exhilarating and exciting trip this year—something we’ve never done before.
MOM: I don’t want to dismiss your idea, Kenneth, but where can find such an awe-inspiring experience?
KENNETH: I thought we could hike up Mount Whitney—it’s the highest peak in California. Because it’s located on the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, it’s also relatively close to home. Since we’re all strong athletes, I think that making the ascent is feasible.
JEANNETTE: (to Kenneth) That sounds like an awesome and memorable trip; however, there’s one problem with your plan—I suffer from acrophobia.
KENNETH: (with a look of befuddlement) Acro- what?
MOM: Acrophobia—it means that Jeannette suffers from a fear of heights. The root word phobia, meaning “fear of,” comes from the Greek word –phobos, which means “fearing.” Acrophobia is one of the most prevalent phobias in the country.
KENNETH: (to Jeannette) I recall a few years ago when we traveled on an airplane to Aunt Janice’s house—you were enthralled, peering out the window at the scene below.
JEANNETTE: I did have a tremendous time on the airplane; however, after that trip, my phobia gradually progressed, and now merely thinking about flying evokes terror and makes me squeamish. For me, riding the elevator to the top floor of a tall building is much like trekking up Mount Everest—it’s a gigantic feat of willpower.
MOM: Sometimes the best way to get over a fear is to face it. Perhaps we should try to climb the mountain so that Jeannette can tackle her fear. Do you think it would intolerable for you, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: (with a look of trepidation) I don’t believe I would be very excited during the ascent, and I may not reach the apex; yet, I would savor the astonishing panoramic views. But what if I lost my composure and chose not to climb with you? I would be loath to jeopardize your trip.
DAD: Jeannette, we’re a family; we must always support each other. I believe that if you’re brave enough to attempt the climb, we should be more than willing to stop if you feel overwhelmed or extremely uneasy.
MOM: Just trying is an immeasurable accomplishment!
KENNETH: I’ll have a wonderful vacation as long as I get to view the noteworthy peak; everything else is secondary to me. What’s your verdict, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: The thought of scaling a gigantic mountain is both scary and exhilarating. I must admit, the allure of Mount Whitney seems to trump my trepidation, and it would be incredible to overcome my fear. So, I suppose there is only one thing left to do—pack!

Which is the main theme of the passage?
b. majority
c. precedent
d. dissenting
B)through Haemon, when he goes against his father’s commands and tries to usurp the throne
C)through Ismene, when she tries to dissuade Antigone from burying their brother Polyneices
D)through Creon, when he tries to control matters that only the gods have the right to govern
D)through Creon, when he tries to control matters that only the gods have the right to govern.
Hubris is an extreme feeling of pride and self confidence, Creon causes his own catastrophic ending and those surrounding him by an excesive pride.
Sophocles primarily develops the element of hubris D) through Creon, when he tries to control matters that only the gods have the right to govern.
Hubris is a concept that makes reference to a personality characterized by extreme pride and arrogance, which most times also leads to a defiance or disobedience against the gods. In Antigone by Sophocles, Creon, who is the king of Thebes, is unwilling to listen to what others have to say. He goes against divine law when he forbids all the citizens to bury Polyneices. After he condemns Antigone to death for burying her brother, he refuses to listen to his own son, who tries to convince him not to kill Antigone. In that way, his pride and his arrogance not only lead to Antigone's death, but also to the deaths of his son and the queen.
The secondary units don’t affect the cost. As long as both prices are in dollars or cents, you can compare the two.
b.
The unit prices are based on the cost of the whole package, so divide each base cost by each unit price to get comparable units.
c.
Use conversion rates to change one unit into the other unit, so that both prices are listed using like units.
d.
Unit prices are ratios, so you can add the two prices together and divide by the smaller unit price to get a usable number.
The correct answer is option C. "Use conversion rates to change one unit into the other unit, so that both prices are listed using like units". Conversion rates are a useful way to equalize the unit price of two comparable items. For instance, a conversion rate could be applied by expressing the prices in percentages by dividing the total cost of the product against the units at which the product could be divided (weight or volume).
