(1) Skyscrapers were made possible by two innovations in technology: structural steel (steel shaped for use in construction) and the elevator. (2) Previously, buildings were supported by their walls. (3) Large buildings had to be built with walls of heavy masonry (stonework or brickwork). (4) Masonry walls made it difficult to put up structures higher than a hundred feet because the upper walls would weigh too much for the lower stories to bear. (5) Steel changed all that completely. (6) The weight of the building could now be borne entirely by a light steel skeleton frame. (7) The outside walls, completely relieved from the duty of supporting weight, were now a mere “skin” and could be made of anything: tiles, metal panels, and glass. (8) And with the elevator, buildings could climb until they scraped the sky.
Question9. The passage clearly suggests that structural steel was important because it is
a. cheap.

b. easy to stretch.

c. easy to get.

d. strong.

Answer:

d. strong

Explanation:

None of the other options are mentioned in the passage and the passage focuses on how masonry could not support the immense weight of a tall building whereas steel could.

Read the paragraph from “Stick to Real Microscopes.”
The piece I read also insisted that smartphone microscopes are better because they let users take video of what they observe. That is certainly good and useful. Being able to take video is valuable. And I do not intend to argue against that value. Rather, I will just say that one does not need a smartphone microscope to take video. I found several real microscopes that come with digital cameras and video recorders. They can record videos just as easily as a smartphone microscope, but they can do so at much higher magnification. Several cost around $300 (Gates). Again, the real microscope is the better scientific tool.

What is the author’s purpose in the paragraph?

A: To suggest that video capability is the most important feature for microscope users

B: To explain that real microscopes have video capability superior to smartphone microscopes

C: To compare the cost of microscopes with and without video and camera features

D: To argue that it is easier to take video with a real microscope than a smartphone microscope
