“The Leak,” Jacques Futrelle
Read this passage from “The Leak” by Jacques Futrelle. Then, answer the question(s).
(1) The financier drew a long breath. “I have been informed that you were a remarkable man,” he said at last slowly. “I believe it. Quinton Frazier, the banker who gave me the letter of introduction to you, told me how you once solved a remarkable mystery in which—”
(2) “Yes, yes,” interrupted the scientist shortly, “the Ralston Bank burglary—I remember.”
(3) “So I came to you to enlist your aid in something which is more inexplicable than that.... Briefly, there is a leak in my office. My plans become known to others almost by the time I have perfected them. My plans are large; I have millions at stake; and the greatest secrecy is absolutely essential. For years I have been able to preserve this secrecy; but half a dozen times in the last eight weeks my plans have become known, and I have been caught. Unless you know the Street, you can’t imagine what a tremendous disadvantage it is to have someone know your next move to the minutest detail and, knowing it, defeat you at every turn.”
(4) “No, I don’t know your world of finance, Mr. Grayson,” remarked The Thinking Machine. “Give me an instance.”
(5) “Well, take this last case,” said the financier earnestly. “Briefly, without technicalities, I had planned to unload the securities of the P., Q. & X. Railway, protecting myself through brokers, and force the outstanding stock down to a price where other brokers, acting for me, could buy far below the actual value. In this way I intended to get complete control of the stock. But my plans became known, and when I began to unload everything was snapped up by the opposition, with the result that instead of gaining control of the road I lost heavily. This same thing has happened, with variations, half a dozen times.”
(6) “I presume that is strictly honest?” inquired the scientist mildly.
(7) “Honest?” replied Grayson. “Certainly—of course.”
10. In the third paragraph, when Grayson refers to “the Street,” to what is he referring?
a.
New York’s Fifth Avenue, the fashionable street on which Grayson lives
b.

c.
any rough urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime

"The Leak" is a detective tale by Jacques Futrelle. His lead investigator is Professor Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen who is known as The Thinking Machine. Professor Dusen comes in to assist a businessman who is suffering the risk of his high-valued deals because of the presence of a spy in his office. His secrets seem to be exposed to the unknown spy thereby making him vulnerable.
Jacques Futrelle was an American who was very known for journalism and mystery writing. Also, he is well-known for writing detective stories. Futrelle passed away during the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

The reader, White Dolphin, you have read about Dougie Evans and Kara's speeches to save the dolphin. Write what you think of the two speeches? Whose appeal was more effective? Why? If you were in the audience, whose speech would have convinced you?
Answer:
white Dolphin is the second awesome book by Gill Lewis. It is set in a fishing village in Cornwall and a lot of the action takes place on the beach, the cliffs or in the harbour. Many of the people in the community depend on the sea to earn a living.
Kara and her Dad are depressed, upset and confused. Kara's mother, who was a marine biologist and conservationist, disappeared while she was on a research trip, and Kara and her Dad are living with his sister Bev, but Bev is expecting another baby and the house is already overcrowded so Kara and her Dad will have to move out soon.

They have so many debts that they are going to have to sell their beloved boat Moana which is particularly special as Kara's parents restored it together.
They are at war with Dougie Evans and his son Jake who have a grudge against them. Dougie employs a lot of people in his fishing fleet and he wants to get the ban on dredging in the harbour lifted, so that he can make more money easily, but Kara is determined that it should be kept, so that the seabed and all its creatures will not be destroyed.
The white Dolphin plays an important part in the story and it is a precious link with Kara's mother.
This book has lots of things in it that remind me of Sky Hawk, such as the endangered animals, the sick or disabled friend, the rather strange old person that the villagers don't like very much, and the professional environmentalists.
In both books the mean characters change for the better.
There are lots of very strong characters in this book. As well as Kara who was so determined. I liked Miss Pendula who many people think is mad. She lives alone on the cliffs and cares for sick birds.
There is also Felix who achieved amazing things in spite of his disability and Daisy, Kara's cousin who stood up to the bullies who were making fun of Felix even though she is only five.
I admired the Head teacher who was kind and understanding to Kara even though she did something really bad at school.
In the end, Kara achieves something that no adult has been able to do.
Read the book to find out how she does it!
I would recommend this book to anyone from seven to seventy plus , especially if they care about the environment.

Who is President Roosevelt?President Roosevelt was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until he died in 1945. As the leader of the Democratic Party, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century.
Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. He built the New Deal Coalition, which defined modern liberalism in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended in victory shortly after he died in office.
Roosevelt was re-elected in 1940 for his third term, making him the only U.S. president to serve for more than two terms.

Which sentence in this excerpt from eleanor Roosevelt's speech "what libraries mean to the nation" is an example of the rhetorical strategy of pathos
Answer:
"The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that ...........the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds."
Explanation:
Pathos(appeal to emotion) is characterized as one of the three persuasive or rhetorical devices(as stated by Aristotle) that aims to persuade the audience by appealing to their emotions.
In the given excerpt from Roosevelt's speech titled 'what libraries mean to the nation', the sentence 'the children...minds' exemplifies the use of pathos as it employs descriptive words and phrases to display the condition of poor children like 'so poor, so pathetic, struggle to live, feeling right there, etc.' that elicits the emotions of pity, grief, and sympathy in the audience. The audience is able to emotionally connect themselves to the condition of poor children and accept the speaker's claim that education is the only source to make their lives better.
Answer:
The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

"We think Lebron James and Gisele Bundchen look beautiful together and we are honored to have them on the cover," Vogue
spokesman Patrick O'Connell said in response to complaints.

surrounding the cover?

Ο Α

Answer:
Based on his comments, we can infer:
b. Vogue feels the image has been misinterpreted.
Explanation:
If we contextualize this, it will be easier to answer. Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen and famous professional basketball player Lebron James posed for the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue. The cover caused controversy because it seemed to reinforce stereotypes concerning different races. The picture was even compared to King Kong posters, since James posed in a beast-like way, his hand around Bundchen's waist.
As we can see, Vogue spokesperson Patrick O'Connell does not agree with that interpretation of the cover. He thinks Gisele and Lebron look good, not seeing any problem with the photo. He does not mention or imply anything about starting a constructive conversation about race. He is basically defending the magazine's decision to use that photo. We can, therefore, safely infer Vogue feels the image has been misinterpreted.
