The text has more or less the same meaning in both of the extracts. The differences lie in the language use, character types, speakers, layout etc. In the original "Beowulf" epic Grendel displays nothing but the most primitive human qualities. He is a grotesque monster who terrorizes a small community of Danish warriors. Therefore he can be called a flat character. In the book "Grendel" the protagonist and antagonist have been swapped. Gardner greatly alters the monster's characterization. In his novel, very little separates Grendel from his human counterparts: he has a high level of intelligence, as well as a human capacity for both emotion and philosophy. As the text is written in the first person point of view through Grendel's eyes, one gets a quite good picture of him. Unfortunately he is fighting with the inevitable. He keeps attacking and eating the Danish warriors simply because his instincts tell him to do so
food supplies. Disadvantages ✘ Intensive farming involves the use of various kinds of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides. Apart from this, it is also associated with farms that keep livestock above their holding capacity, which in turn leads to pollution, various diseases, and infections brought about by overcrowding and poor hygiene. ✘ Reports and studies reveal that intensive farming affects and alters the environment in multiple ways. Forests are destroyed to create large open fields, and this could lead to soil erosion. It affects the natural habitat of wild animals. Use of chemical fertilizers contaminates soil and water bodies, such as lakes and rivers. ✘ Pesticides sprayed on crops not only destroy pests and contaminate the crops, but also kill beneficial insects. Heavy use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers also affects the workers (who
You may see, feel and hear things that don't exist. You can also have rapid and intense emotional mood swings. This shift in perception can be frightening. It can cause panic attacks and a complete loss of contact with reality. As you can imagine, in this state of mind, it can be very easy to have a dangerous, or even fatal, accident. 6 5. LSD LSD (or its full name: lysergic acid diethylamide) is a potent hallucinogen that dramatically alters your thoughts and your perception of reality. It was discovered in 1938 in a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. LSD is one of the strongest hallucinogenic drugs. It can disrupt the normal functioning of your brain, possibly for the short term, or possibly for life. By disturbing the normal functioning of the brain, LSD distorts visual judgment, sensations, moods and feelings. And these changes can quickly become frightening. Some users

on suur (suur biomass). A keystone species is a species that is disproportionately connected to more species in the food-web. Keystone species have lower levels of biomass in the trophic pyramid relative to the importance of their role. The many connections that a keystone species holds means that it maintains the organization and structure of entire communities. The loss of a keystone species results in a range of dramatic cascading effects that alters trophic dynamics, other food-web connections and can cause the extinction of other species in the community.

Dennoch erzwingt sie von Willi den Aufenthaltsort von Edgar in Berlin. Addi Berliner: Brigadeleiter einer Malerbrigade ist recht jähzornig und ein guter Mensch. Edgar beschreibt ihn als Steher, wahrscheinlich Edgars größte Auszeichnung. Auch wenn Addi öfter mit ihm streitet, verstehen sie sich ganz gut. Nach Edgars Rauswurf bekommt Addi ein schlechtes Gewissen, das er auch nach dessen Tod behält. Zaremba: Edgar hält viel von Zaremba, vor allem weil dieser trotz seines Alters noch so fit und aktiv ist. Er rückt Zaremba in die Nähe seiner Idole aufgrund der Tatsache, dass der Über-Siebzigjährige noch immer arbeitet, obwohl er längst in Rente gehen könnte. Der Anstreicher ist sehr diplomatisch und schlichtet des Öfteren Streit zwischen Addi und dem jungen Wibeau. Als überzeugter Sozialist repräsentiert Zaremba den Typus des idealen Kollektivmitglieds, das sich für den gesellschaftlichen Arbeitserfolg auch über autoritäre Umgangsweisen mit den

This causes a distortion of the image, known as chromatic aberration. In cameras, sharp images are obtained by arranging two or more lenses so that the aberration of one cancels out the aberration of another. Such an arrangement of lenses is called an achromatic lens. QUESTION: According to the passage, what is focal length? (A) A curved surface that refracts light. (B) The distance from the focal plane to the lens. (C) Adjustment by the muscles that alters lens curvature. (D) The degree that light rays of different colors are bent by the lens. This is a factual question. The information needed to answer this question is directly stated in the text. Choice (B) is the correct answer. Some questions will ask you to draw conclusions based on material in the passage, other will ask about the main idea of a selection. Some may even ask what information does not appear in the passage.

Later methods operate more directly on the speech itself, often in ways that resemble transposition, substitution, and null ciphers. In most of the substitution systems, ciphony selects one component out of the many that make up the complex phenomenon of speech and alters it. It usually chooses frequency, though some scramblers distort volume. Frequency here refers to the number of times the vocal chords vibrate; it is usually stated in terms of cycles per second, or c.p.s., so that a frequency of 500 c.p.s. means that the vocal chords are vibrating 500 times a second. Because of the resonance of the vocal organs, most sounds in speech combine several frequencies, and each sound has its distinctive combination of frequencies. The main frequency of the /e/
