Question 1

Why do we know so little about the life of William Shakespeare when we know
comparatively so much about the lives of his less accomplished peers? Our lack of
knowledge about Shakespeare has inspired countless conspiracy theories. The actual
writing of Shakespeare’s works has been attributed to others from contemporary
playwrights Christopher Marlowe and Ben Johnson to the brilliant Renaissance
scientist and philosopher Francis Bacon. Shakespeare was an immensely successful
dramatist as well as a prosperous property owner. Circumspect, and only too aware
of the government-inspired branding of Johnson, its torture of Thomas Kyd, and its
murder of Marlowe, Shakespeare kept himself nearly anonymous. Wary to the end,
Shakespeare led a life virtually without memorable incident, as far as we can tell.

a. Circumspect and wary are synonyms. In the context of the passage, what do
they mean?

Circumspect and wary in the context of the passage means Shakespeare

showing a close attentiveness to avoiding danger or trouble, by kept himself
nearly anonymous and led his life virtually without memorable incident.

b. Write down two words that start with spect-!

Answer: - Spectacular
 - Spectrum

c. How do the roots circum- and spect- relate to the definition of

circumspect?

Circumspect, which descends from Latin circum- ("around") and specere

("to look"), implies the surveying of all possible
consequences before acting or deciding (as in " Circumspect, and only too aware
of the government-inspired branding of Johnson, its torture of

Thomas Kyd, and its murder of Marlowe, Shakespeare kept himself nearly anonymous
").

Question 2

The world around us is filled with sound. There are loud sounds and soft sounds.
There are pleasant sounds and unpleasant sounds. At this very moment, you are
surrounded by sound. Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears?
Why are there different kinds of sound?
The study of these questions about sound is called acoustics.

Imagine a cymbal hit with a drumstick. The cymbal shakes rapidly, and this
vibration causes the tiny particles in the air around it to vibrate. These vibrating air
particles, called molecules, bump into the air particles next to them and make them
vibrate. This spreading vibration moves outward in every direction from the cymbal
in waves.

When a small object is made to vibrate, the sound waves move up and down very
quickly. This produces a high-pitched sound, like a high note in a song. When a
large object is made to vibrate, the sound waves move up and down more slowly.
This produces a low-pitched sound, like a low note in a song. Hitting a small cymbal
makes a more high-pitched sound than hitting a large cymbal.
 a. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of
acoustics word!

Answer: Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears? Why are
there different kinds of sound?

Referring by the meaning of Acoustics. Acoustics is a branch of physics that deals with
the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as
vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound

- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

b. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of
vibration word!

Answer: The cymbal shakes rapidly.

Referring by the meaning of Vibration. Vibration is continuous quick, slight

shaking movement.
