PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Speed is an important aspect of motion.
Sent 2: It is a measure of how fast or slow something moves.
Sent 3: To determine speed you must know two things.
Sent 4: First, you must know how far something travels.
Sent 5: Second, you need to know how long it takes to travel that far.
Sent 6: Speed can be calculated using this formula: speed = distance time A familiar example is the speed of a car.
Sent 7: In the U.S., this is usually expressed in miles per hour.
Sent 8: Think about a trip you and your family made in the car.
Sent 9: Maybe the trip covered 120 miles and it took 3 hours.
Sent 10: What was the cars speed?
Sent 11: speed = 120 mi = 40 mi/h 3h The speed of a car may also be expressed in kilometers per hour (km/h).
Sent 12: The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).
Sent 13: This is the unit of measure a scientist would use.
Question: What is speed?.

SOLUTION: Speed is an important aspect of motion.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Before 9/11, the CIA did not invest in developing a robust capability to conduct paramilitary operations with U.S. personnel.
Sent 2: It relied on proxies instead, organized by CIA operatives without the requisite military training.
Sent 3: The results were unsatisfactory.
Sent 4: Whether the price is measured in either money or people, the United States cannot afford to build two separate capabilities for carrying out secret military operations, secretly operating standoff missiles, and secretly training foreign military or paramilitary forces.
Sent 5: The United States should concentrate responsibility and necessary legal authorities in one entity.
Sent 6: The post-9/11 Afghanistan precedent of using joint CIA-military teams for covert and clandestine operations was a good one.
Sent 7: We believe this proposal to be consistent with it.
Sent 8: Each agency would concentrate on its comparative advantages in building capabilities for joint missions.
Sent 9: The operation itself would be planned in common.
Sent 10: The CIA has a reputation for agility in operations.
Sent 11: The military has a reputation for being methodical and cumbersome.
Sent 12: We do not know if these stereotypes match current reality; they may also be one more symptom of the civil-military misunderstandings we described in chapter 4.
Sent 13: It is a problem to be resolved in policy guidance and agency management, not in the creation of redundant, overlapping capabilities and authorities in such sensitive work.
Sent 14: The CIA's experts should be integrated into the military's training, exercises, and planning.
Sent 15: To quote a CIA official now serving in the field:"One fight, one team."Sent 16: Finally, to combat the secrecy and complexity we have described, the overall amounts of money being appropriated for national intelligence and to its component agencies should no longer be kept secret.
Sent 17: Congress should pass a separate appropriations act for intelligence, defending the broad allocation of how these tens of billions of dollars have been assigned among the varieties of intelligence work.
Sent 18: The specifics of the intelligence appropriation would remain classified, as they are today.
Question: What did the CIA rely on before 9/11 to work with US personnel?.

SOLUTION: Proxies organized by CIA operatives without the requisite military training.

PROBLEM: Paragraph- Sent 1: Fact: I wasn't dead.
Sent 2: After I realized this, I left my quarters.
Sent 3: The lightscreen provided had informed me when and where official meals were taking place, but I hadn't bothered to acknowledge the invitations.
Sent 4: It hadn't seemed relevant, somehow, given that I was still reeling over the explosion, the deaths of my crewmates, and the rescue.
Sent 5: I've heard there are a number of stages of grief and shock; I guess I was working my way through them.
Sent 6: Food was delivered to my quarters.
Sent 7: Initially, I couldn't figure out whyI hadn't requested any be sent.
Sent 8: Then I realized, someone must have noticed I hadn't left, and was nice enough to send food my way.
Sent 9: The accompanying bottle of wine was a nice touch.
Sent 10: I must have consumed it, too, because later on, the plates and the bottle were both empty.
Sent 11: I spent a lot of time lying on my back on the bed, staring up at the little etched swirls in the ceiling, or slumped in the old-fashioned armchair, staring out the windows at the stars.
Sent 12: I did a lot of staring and not moving.
Sent 13: Man, was it good to be done with that stage.
Sent 14: It was time to find out what hell looked like.
Question: Why was he grief and shock, to where the food was delivered?.

SOLUTION:
The death of his crewmates.
