(1) skyscrapers were made possible by two innovations in technology: structural steel (steel shaped for use in construction) and the elevator. (2) previously, buildings were supported by their walls. (3) large buildings had to be built with walls of heavy masonry (stonework or brickwork). (4) masonry walls made it difficult to put up structures higher than a hundred feet because the upper walls would weigh too much for the lower stories to bear. (5) steel changed all that completely. (6) the weight of the building could now be borne entirely by a light steel skeleton frame. (7) the outside walls, completely relieved from the duty of supporting weight, were now a mere “skin” and could be made of anything: tiles, metal panels, and glass. (8) and with the elevator, buildings could climb until they scraped the sky.
q. in sentence 1, the word innovations means
a. inventors.
b. new things.
c. buildings.
d. questions.

Read the excerpt from part 3 of the call of the wild. but it was in giving the law and making his mates live up to it, that buck excelled. dave and sol-leks did not mind the change in leadership. it was none of their business. their business was to toil, and toil mightily, in the traces. so long as that were not interfered with, they did not care what happened. billee, the good-natured, could lead for all they cared, so long as he kept order. the rest of the team, however, had grown unruly during the last days of spitz, and their surprise was great now that buck proceeded to lick them into shape. what theme is most supported by the ideas in this excerpt? good leaders are strong and intelligent. loyalty can be a very powerful force. only the strong survive in the wilderness. we are all ruled by our natural instincts.
