read the excerpt from neil degrasse tyson’s "death by black hole."
if you stumbled upon a black hole and found yourself falling feet-first toward its center, then as you got closer, the black hole’s force of gravity would grow astronomically. curiously, you would not feel this force at all because, like anything in free fall, you are weightless. what you do feel, however, is something far more sinister. while you fall, the black hole’s force of gravity at your two feet, they being closer to the black hole’s center, accelerates them faster than does the weaker force of gravity at your head. the difference between the two is known officially as the tidal force, which grows precipitously as you draw nearer to the black hole’s center. for earth, and for most cosmic places, the tidal force across the length of your body is minuscule and goes unnoticed. but in your feet-first fall toward a black hole the tidal forces are all you notice.
which sentence from the excerpt best supports the idea that falling into a black hole would be excruciatingly painful?
curiously, you would not feel this force at all because, like anything in free fall, you are weightless.
what you do feel, however, is something far more sinister.
for earth, and for most cosmic places, the tidal force across the length of your body is minuscule and goes unnoticed.
but in your feet-first fall toward a black hole the tidal forces are all you notice.

It's b.

The description of sinister represents pain

the correct answer is what you do feel, however, is something far more sinister.

Explanation:

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
