Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The speaker is frustrated by the loss and does not believe the last shot was a good one.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best explains the irony. In this sentence, the author acts as if he was happy with the result. He tells us that he gave it a "nice shot" and that he always dreamed of losing. However, as we know that losing is rarely a dream, we can assume that he is being ironic, and does not actually believe his shot was good.

Excerpt from Batter Up: The Baseball BatKathy HuffordThe first “official” baseball game was played in the early 1800s, more than 160 years ago. The equipment was simple: bat, ball, dirt playing field, and four wooden bases. No gloves.In the early years, the players made their bats, all from wood. Eventually, batmakers found that the best style of the bat was long and slender, tapered, with a carved knob at the end of the bat for better control.Although the first metal bat was patented in 1924, players did not start using metal bats until the first aluminum bats were developed in the 1970s. Bats made of aluminum became an instant success. They were light, durable, and easy to use, and players could hit the ball much farther than with a wooden bat. Unlike the wooden bat, a metal bat temporarily flexes when hit with the ball, and springs back, transferring more energy to the ball than a rigid wooden bat. This so-called “trampoline effect” is the secret of the metal bat’s superior performance over a wooden bat.The design of bats continues to evolve as manufacturers search for ways to magnify the trampoline effect and increase the size of the bat’s “sweet spot” (the optimal place on the bat for hitting the ball). One design introduced in the late 1990s 
is a double-walled bat; this design comprises an outer wall of aluminum, an inner wall of a composite material (often graphite), and a “filling” of rubber or a thick fluid between the two walls.If you were collecting information on how aluminum bats came to be used in college and high school baseball, which would the most appropriate note to take for the third paragraph of the passage?A) aluminum bats work better B) aluminum bats invented in the 70s C) wooden bats invented in the 1800s D) wooden bats don't work as well

How can math tools help you detect errors or inaccuracies in data

Answers

If you are talking about using rulers, protractors, compasses, etc. then here's my answer; 
If you were to use, let's say a ratio, and you calculated it with a calculator and some scratch paper, there's always a chance of human error (like accidentally pressing the wrong key on your calculator) and that can throw off your whole answer. But if you were to use math tools, then you have a better chance of being more precise and specific with your data (but then again even with the tools you can make human errors, so don't rely completely on them).

Read the passage."Day of Infamy" Speechby Franklin Delano RooseveltMr. Vice President, and Mr. Speaker, and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives:Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.The United States was at peace with that Nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our Nation.As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.But always will our whole Nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph- so help us God.I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.Part AWhat is one of Roosevelt's purposes for delivering this speech?to highlight the devastation Japanese forces have caused both in the Pacific and in Europeto inform the American people of Japan's attack on the US and other places in the Pacificto remind the American people that Japan is an avowed ally of Nazi Germanyto share specific information about America's plan to counterattack Japan's Pacific fleetPart BWhich statement best explains how Roosevelt uses rhetoric to advance the purpose identified in Part A?He uses false equivalency, likening the Japanese to the Nazis, to underscore the danger Japan poses to America.He uses false equivalency, likening the attack on Pearl Harbor to the attack on Guam, to make Japan seem more dangerous than it really is.He uses repetition, employing the phrase "last night" several times, to stress the number of coordinated attacks carried out by the Japanese.He uses repetition, employing the word "attack" over and over, to inspire Americans to join the armed forces and aggressively take on the enemy.
