2. Read the article below, and answer the following questions: Does the argument provide evidence that is relevant and sufficient to back the claim? Why or why not? The Alvarez hypothesis claims that the mass extinction of non-flying dinosaurs was caused by a large asteroid which hit the Yucatan Peninsula around 66 million years ago. In 2016, a drilling project into the peak ring of the crater confirmed several ideas that had been unclear until that point. These included the fact that the peak ring was comprised of granite (a rock found deep within the earth) rather than typical sea floor rock, which had been shocked, melted, and ejected to the surface in minutes. There was also evidence of colossal seawater movement directly afterwards from sand deposits. The cores also showed a near complete absence of gypsum, a sulfate-containing rock, which would have been vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, confirming a probable link between the impact and global effects on the climate and food chain.
Previously, in 1980, a team of researchers led by Nobel prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez and his son, geologist Walter Alvarez, discovered that sedimentary layers found all over the world at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary contain a concentration of iridium hundreds of times greater than normal. These strongly support the hypothesis that a crater collided with Earth, and that the impact was large enough to create a 120-mile peak ring. The findings also showed that the impact was large enough to melt, shock and eject basement granite from the middle crust deep within the earth, to create colossal water movements, and to eject large quantities of vaporized rock and sulfates into the atmosphere. This global dispersal of dust and sulfates would have had a catastrophic effect on the global climate and devastated the food chain.

i lokey dunno!

on the low like i frrl frrl dunno jitt

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.

explanation:

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.

hello mate, can you add the lines 206-247?
