THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton
Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.
He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!
A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.
"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.
"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."
"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"
"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."
Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.
The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.
"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."
"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."
The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"
Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."
"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.
With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.
The writer's introduction of Loring sets up
A.a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship
B. the understanding that money is not of any real value
C. a reason for Holk Or to become the main character
D. the sense of how incredibly large the space station is
Answer:
A. A new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship
Explanation:
A says a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship. This is correct because at the beginning the problem is introduced that he doesn't have a ship to stop the asteroid. Loring has a ship and they could possibly buy it from her so this could be a possible solution to the main problem. Hope this helps! :)
[P.S. Please mark me Brainliest! :)]
The writer's introduction of Loring sets up a new plan for Lance Kenniston to try to get his ship. Thus, option A is correct.
What is Introduction?An introduction is a part that begins with the aim and goals of the subsequent work. The body and conclusion are usually followed by this.
The introduction usually outlines the document's scope and provides a brief explanation or overview of the text. It may also describe certain components crucial to the paper. Readers can thus form an opinion on the next text before beginning to read it.
A proposes a fresh strategy for Lance Kenniston in order to obtain his ship. This is valid since the dilemma of not having a spacecraft to stop the asteroid is presented early on. Loring has a ship, which they may purchase from her, thus this may be an option. Hence, option A is correct.

Hide Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz.
Ms. MIEP GIES: I, myself, I'm just a very common
person. I simply had no choice. I could foresee many,
many sleepless nights and a life filled with regret if I
would have refused to help the Franks. And this was not
the kind of life I was looking for at all.
SCHULTZ: Gies explained another motivation for
emphasizing her modesty. She said if people are allowed
to think it takes remarkable qualities to act boldly on
behalf of others, few will attempt it.
Ms. GIES: People should never think that you have to be
a very special person to help those who need you.

Paragraph 9 is important to the plot because it conveys that Janie
A- admits that she does not have a good recollection of the farm field trip
B- is disappointed that farm life is not how it appears in books
C- is worried that her parents may have made a poor decision
D- acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited
Answer:
D- acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited.
Explanation:
Paragraph 9 is important to the plot because it conveys that Janie acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited.
She does acknowledges that when she said "I had no idea of what I was talking about. My farm experience consisted of one field trip..." This shows that her view was limited. This is the reason she was somewhat skeptical about her suggestion to her parents. She felt like her one field trip and the pictures in the book still made her view of living in the farm limited. But it later dawned on her that her suggestion struck a chord in her parents.

D

5. The letter had been written by me.

Explanation:
In grammar, the voice is the relationship between the action or state expressed by the verb and the participants of the sentence, such as the subject, object, and others. There are two voices in English:
The active voice - the sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb (e.g. Jessica is feeding the cat). The passive voice - the subject is the recipient of a verb's action (e.g. The cat is being fed by Jessica).You can see some rules about the conversion from the active into passive voice below.

"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

So, too, at the end of his Presidency, the poor were again on his mind and at the forefront of many discussions with his advisors as they prepared new initiatives that under President Johnson's leadership would become known as the War on Poverty.
