of Electricity" from the New York Tribune,

Why does the author's description of what
Edison observed during his visit to the
laboratory—"the 20-kilowatt Langmuir
amplifying electrotubes, which have
superseded the Alexanderou alternator in long
distance radio broadcasting"—intentionally
incorporate such highly technical language?

Using technical language lets the
author share controversial
o information in ways that most
readers will not fully grasp or
understand
When, in 1877, Thomas Alva Edison, then
spoken of as "a rising young inventor,"
announced the invention of the phonograph,
the world exclaimed, "What next?" He
answered the question by perfecting the
incandescent bulb, the motion picture, the
electric cable, and many other devices now
become commonplace utilities. And at each
new announcement, the world could but repeat
its inquiry of, "What next?" Today the same

D). Using technical language helps the author stress the complexity of the scientific advances and technological achievements that Edison observed.

Explanation:

Language and diction play a vital role in communicating the intended message effectively to the audience and creating the desired impact.

In the given extract from 'Edison Marvels at the Magic  of Electricity', the author employs a technical language to emphasize the intricacy of the scientific developments that Edison discovered. It helps the author to convey the convolutions involved in these developments and also to reflect Edison's intellectual ability to note such technicality. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

the swan might be a metaphor for our soul, which is ancient and timeless. the speaker wants to know where it's going and what it wants, what's the purpose in life. he asks our soul to follow him in knowing that god is us and the answer to the question "who am i" that was written on the wind of god's whim to know himself that blew over his being in the beginning of creation. and to connect to god consciously on the path to knowing him is the joy of loving him, like a bee that will grow and end our sorrows by ending desire. in that connection there is no doubt about god and existing forever.
