Answer Q using text evidence- How are robots and androids the same?................ Many people use the words cyborg and android interchangeably when, in fact, they have different meanings. Both terms refer to beings powered by robotics, but an android is powered entirely by robots. Though androids are completely mechanical, they are designed to look like humans. They may have synthetic skin, hair, and other features, but no human organs. On the other hand, cyborgs are part human and part machine. They may have robotic hands, legs, or eyes, but all cyborgs have surgically implanted technologies that enhance their abilities.
According to the text, both android and cyborg are "beings powered by robotics."

Q-Why is the 1955 penny rare? Use text evidence................ A penny for your thoughts? If it's a 1943 copper penny, it could be worth as much as fifty thousand dollars. In 1943, most pennies were made out of steel since copper was needed for World War II, so the 1943 copper penny is ultra-rare. Another rarity is the 1955 double die penny. These pennies were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters. If it's uncirculated, it'd easily fetch $25,000 at an auction. Now that's a pretty penny.
According to the text, "these pennies were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters".

Q-What is gravity? Use text evidence. .................... Sir Isaac Newton was thinking in his garden one day in 1665 when he noticed an apple fall from a tree. Newton wondered to himself, "Why should the apple always fall to the ground? Why does it not go sideways or upwards but directly toward the Earth's center?" After much thinking, Newton figured out that objects are pulled to the Earth through a force that he called gravity, which means heaviness in Latin. On July 5th, 1687 Newton formally expressed his law of universal gravitation in series of books called The Principia.
According to the text/Newton, gravity is when "objects are pulled to the Earth".

Summarize the paragraph in one sentence..................... Being a clown isn't all fun and games. Rodeo clowns expose themselves to great danger every time they perform. When cowboys dismount or are bucked off of bulls at riding competitions, rodeo clowns jump in front of the bulls and move wildly to get their attention. In this way rodeo clowns provide an alternate target, and in doing so protect the rider. So you see, sometimes clowning around can be serious business.
Rodeo clowns protect cowboys by putting themselves in danger.

What is the main idea of this paragraph. In other words, what is this paragraph about:.................... Before you put on that Angry Birds costume and exhaust yourself moving from door to door begging for candy, take a minute to reflect on the tradition in which you are taking part. Halloween is believed to have come from an ancient Celtic festival dating back some 2,000 years. November 1st was the Celtic New Year and marked the end of summer to the Celts, so they celebrated on its eve by wearing costumes made of animal skins and dancing around bon fires. Over the next two millennia, this primitive celebration grew to be candy fueled costume ball that we know today

Q-What produces the most candy each year? Cite textual evidence. ................... It is estimated that over twenty million pounds of candy corn are sold in the US each year. Brach's, the top manufacturer, sells enough candy corn to circle the earth 4.25 times if each piece were laid end to end. That's a lot of candy corn, but that's nothing compared to Tootsie Roll production. Over 64 million Tootsie Rolls are produced every day! But even Tootsie Rolls have got nothing on the candy industry's main product, chocolate. Factories manufacture over twenty billion pounds of chocolate in the United States each year.
According to the text, "chocolate factories manufacture over twenty billion pounds of chocolate in the United States each year."......................................... According to the text, more Tootsie Rolls are made than candy corn, but "even Tootsie Rollshave got nothing on the candy industry's main product, chocolate."
