Study the editorial cartoon Mars Probe by Mike Keefe. On another planet, 3 aliens are playing baseball, and one holds a baseball bat at the ready position. A space vehicle is flying above them with "Mars Probe" written on it. One alien says "Get ready! Here comes another one!" How does the alien with the baseball bat contribute to the effectiveness of the political cartoon? It suggests that aliens are like people because they play baseball, a human sport. It uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send. It shows how to cope with the surface of Mars, which is rocky and full of craters. It exaggerates the size of the bat in relation to the Mars probe in the cartoon.

Answer:

The alien with the baseball bat contributes to the effectiveness of the cartoon because:

B. It uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send.

Explanation:

Keefe finds a funny and, of course, improbable explanation as to why probes sent from Earth are constantly being damaged. In his cartoon, aliens play baseball. If that weren't funny enough, they are doing it with the purpose of breaking the probes. In a way, Keefe is using something that many people have most likely wondered: What if aliens do exist, but they do things that keep us from finding out about them?

Answer:

B

It uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send.

PLS HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLY) Read the poem.

excerpt from I. The Initial Love in "Initial, Daemonic and Celestial Love" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson believed that true transcendence was rooted in nature and the liberation of the spirit from the laws of man and the church. In his three-part poem, each segment represents the forces that either liberate or imprison the human spirit.

Venus, when her son was lost,
Cried him up and down the coast,
In hamlets, palaces and parks,
And told the truant by his marks,—
Golden curls, and quiver and bow.
This befell how long ago!
Time and tide are strangely changed,
Men and manners much deranged:
None will now find Cupid latent
By this foolish antique patent.
He came late along the waste,
Shod like a traveller for haste;
With malice dared me to proclaim him,
That the maids and boys might name him.

Boy no more, he wears all coats,
Frocks and blouses, capes, capotes;
He bears no bow, or quiver, or wand,
Nor chaplet on his head or hand.
Leave his weeds and heed his eyes,—
All the rest he can disguise.
In the pit of his eye's a spark
Would bring back day if it were dark;
And, if I tell you all my thought,
Though I comprehend it not,
In those unfathomable orbs
Every function he absorbs;
Doth eat, and drink, and fish, and shoot,
And write, and reason, and compute,
And ride, and run, and have, and hold,
And whine, and flatter, and regret,
And kiss, and couple, and beget,
By those roving eyeballs bold.

Undaunted are their courages,
Right Cossacks in their forages;
Fleeter they than any creature,—
They are his steeds, and not his feature;
Inquisitive, and fierce, and fasting,
Restless, predatory, hasting;
And they pounce on other eyes
As lions on their prey;
And round their circles is writ,
Plainer than the day,
Underneath, within, above,—
Love—love—love—love.
He lives in his eyes;
There doth digest, and work, and spin,
And buy, and sell, and lose, and win;
He rolls them with delighted motion,
Joy-tides swell their mimic ocean.
Yet holds he them with tautest rein,
That they may seize and entertain
The glance that to their glance opposes,
Like fiery honey sucked from roses.
He palmistry can understand,
Imbibing virtue by his hand
As if it were a living root;
The pulse of hands will make him mute;
With all his force he gathers balms
Into those wise, thrilling palms.
