11. What is the main idea of the article above? In 2004, Richard Branson started a new company under the Virgin name. The company, Virgin Galactic, was created to be the first space tourism company. Branson signed a deal with Burt Rutan, who developed the first private human spaceflight in the world. The plan was for Rutan to design and build five spacecrafts based on a version of his SpaceShipOne. Construction began in 2005, and six months of intensive testing were planned for 2007. At least 50-100 flights would take place during testing. Actual spaceflights for citizens would begin on the SpaceShipTwo in New Mexico in 2009. The spacecrafts are intended to be affordable enough to take paying passengers. The craft is projected to hold six passengers and two pilots. SpaceShipTwo is scheduled to make flights just over 100 kilometers in altitude. This will allow passengers to experience approximately six minutes of weightlessness, and the flight will take two and a half hours.

a. Space tourism is extremely dangerous and very expensive.
b. The first private citizen spaceflights will take place in 2009.
c. Burt Rutan developed the first private human spacecraft.
d. Richard Branson started the first space tourism company.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
