The following year, despite a contract to begin work on a novel called Notre Dame de Paris, he set to work on two plays.
His 1827 play, “Cromwell,” embraced the tenets of Romanticism, which he laid out in the play's preface. In 1823, Hugo published his first novel, Han d'Islande. In 1822, Hugo married his childhood sweetheart, Adele Foucher, and published his first volume of poetry, which won him a pension from Louis XVIII. Although he studied law, he also founded a literary review to which he and other emerging writers published their work. Victor Hugo, the son of one of Napoleon's officers, decided while still a teenager to become a writer. In the context of the passage, “seasoned” in sentence 3 most nearly means (8) After walking up and down the aisle twice to ensure a complete evacuation, Sullenberger was the last to leave the sinking plane. (7) One survivor suffered two broken legs and others were treated for minor injuries or hypothermia, but no fatalities occurred. (6) As flight attendants ushered passengers into life jackets, through emergency exits and onto the waterlogged wings of the bobbing jet, rescue vessels hastened to the scene. (5) Ninety seconds later, Sullenberger glided the Airbus 320 over the chilly surface of the Hudson River, where it splashed down. (4) “We’re gonna be in the Hudson,” he said simply, and then told the 150 terrified passengers and five crew members on board to brace for impact. (3) When air traffic controllers instructed the seasoned pilot to head for nearby Teterboro Airport, he calmly informed them that he was “unable” to reach a runway.
(2) Crippled by the bird strike, both engines lost power and went quiet, forcing Captain Sullenberger to make an emergency landing. (1) About a minute after taking off from New York’s La Guardia Airport on January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 collided with a flock of geese. The author uses the word “traditionally” to signal to readers that the passage will The result is tectonic plates that abruptly shift horizontally, or continents suddenly bobbing up. The detachment process is then accelerated when mineral grains in the necking slab start to shrink, causing the slab to weaken rapidly. Thick crust from continents or oceanic plateau is swept into the subduction zone, plugging it up and prompting the slab to break off. Such abrupt movement requires that slabs detach from their plates, but doing this quickly is difficult since the slabs should be too cold and stiff to detach.Īccording to the study, there are additional factors at work. Yet that process does not account for sudden plate shifts. Traditionally, scientists believed that all tectonic plates were pulled by subducting slabs-which resulted from the colder, top boundary layer of the Earth's rocky surface becoming heavy and sinking slowly into the deeper mantle. A new study suggests that thick crustal plugs and weakened mineral grains may explain a range of relatively speedy moves among tectonic plates around the world, from Hawaii to East Timor.
