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.

read the excerpt from billy collins’s “man listening to disc.”

the only true point of view,
is full of the hope that he,
the hub of the cosmos
with his hair blown sideways,
will eventually make it all the way downtown.

which choice best describes the differing views tyson and collins present of humanity?

a. tyson describes a sinister universe where men are eaten by black holes, while collins describes a cosmos full of hope for a better future.

b. tyson writes about a scientific fact of life, while collins writes about an emotionally charged event in his life.

c. tyson presents humans as powerless against the forces of nature, while collins presents an individual creating his own destiny.

d. tyson suggests that people have no control of their lives in a dangerous world, while collins reminds people to take control and be focused.

C.Tyson presents humans as powerless against the forces of nature, while Collins presents an individual creating his own destiny.

In the first excerpt, Tyson describes what would happen to a human body as it falls feet-first towards the center of a black hole. His description is bleak, and it shows the human as powerless against such strong forces. The second passage, however, is a lot more positive about the possibility of human action. The passage places the man at the center of the cosmos, and as the recipient of all hope. It shows that the individual has enough agency to create his own destiny.

israel is a small country in the middle east about the size of the state of new jersey. the country has a diverse climate with snowy mountains in the north and the hot desert in the south. jordan, syria, and the palestinian authority all border israel to the east. lebanon serves as the northern border and egypt borders in the south.about two-thirds of the population was born in israel. all other israelis come from over 100 different countries. most israeli jews live a lifestyle similar to western europeans and north americans.israel's population is about 75 percent jewish; most of the rest is arab. the israeli-occupied palestinian territories have some 3.5 million inhabitants—about 11 percent jewish, 89 percent palestinian.because of israel's variety of terrain and climate, the country has a large variety of animals. boars roam the damp oak woodlands of the golan heights. caspian turtles live in the marshlands along the coast. and hyenas are prevalent in the negev desert region in the southern israel.israel is the only fully democratic country in the middle east. elections are held for seats in the knesset or parliament every four years. if a party wins 2 percent of the votes, the party gets one or more seats in parliament. no one party has control so they have to work together. the leader of the largest party becomes prime minister.the story of modern israel begins more than 3,500 years ago. most israelis are jews, who are said to be descended from the biblical figure abraham, through his son isaac.
