Tom Heaton bailed out Burnley with a rare penalty save against Southampton and then backed one of the Premier League relegation favourites to rescue themselves from the drop. The former Manchester United goalkeeper brilliantly turned away an effort from Dusan Tadic, who became the first Saints player to fail from the spot in the Premier League in 30 attempts stretching back more than 17 years. Burnley, who appeared to be doomed a month ago, took full advantage as a deflected winner from Ashley Barnes lifted them out of the relegation zone. Dusan Tadic saw his penalty saved for Southampton by Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton . Heaton dives to his left to save the penalty and he believes Burnley can survive the drop this season . Tadic shows his frustration after missing a penalty for his side, who eventually lost 1-0 on Saturday . 29 - Dusan Tadic’s miss ended a run of 29 consecutive Premier League penalties scored by Southampton. Sean Dyche’s team have now picked up 11 points from the last six games, and Heaton insists they have the belief to survive in the top-flight. ‘Obviously staying in the league is going to be success for us and we feel that we’ve got a great chance of being successful,’ he said. ‘We think it’s a great challenge, a great opportunity for us. ‘To be honest, we always felt we were not far off. Even when we didn’t win for the first 10 games we had the belief to turn things around. Once we got one it sort of opened the floodgates and gave us a bit of freedom. We’ve got back to what we’re all about.’ While Burnley are on the rise, Southampton’s season has suddenly gone in the opposite direction. This was their fourth defeat in a row after losing to Arsenal and both Manchester clubs, even though Ronald Koeman’s team stay in fifth. The Dutchman will be looking for an immediate reaction from his team when they play at Sheffield United on Tuesday in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup. ‘It will be a massive occasion,’ said midfielder James Ward-Prowse. ‘We are desperate to turn around the run we are on at the moment and get back to winning ways, and I don’t think there is any better opportunity than the quarter-final of the cup.’ Ashley Barnes bundled the ball home from close range to give Burnley a valuable win against Southampton . Barnes celebrates with his team-mates after scoring the goal to give his side a valuable three points . Summarize this article.

In light of the current oil glut, many oil producing states have experienced extreme economic hardship. Due to the precipitous drop in oil prices, many oil companies have been forced to cut back on oil production and lay off many workers. As a result, unemployment has reached all-time high levels in several states. In order to alleviate this potentially catastrophic situation, the one of those state's legislatures recently enacted a statute requiring that 10% of all oil produced within the state be purchased by the state and reserved for use by state residents. The purpose of the statute was twofold: (1) it was intended to stimulate the oil industry within the state by encouraging more production and exploration, and (2) it was designed to create an oil reserve so that state residents and industries would not suffer unduly from future oil shortages. Subsequently, Congress enacted a statute forbidding states to reserve local resources for local use in this manner. Is this state statute constitutional? A. Yes, because Congress has not expressly forbidden states to reserve local resources for local use. B. Yes, because the state statute requires that the oil be used for the general welfare of the people in emergency situations. C. No, because a state may not protect its residents from out-of-state competition for its natural resources without the express permission of Congress. D. No, because application of the statute denies non-oil producing companies to equal protection of the law, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Answer:

C. No, because a state may not protect its residents from out-of-state competition for its natural resources without the express permission of Congress.

By . Helen Pow . PUBLISHED: . 11:36 EST, 10 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:41 EST, 10 July 2013 . A Virginia church has been inundated with responses after it posted a message on its Facebook page asking for a family to adopt an unborn baby with Down syndrome that would otherwise be aborted. The Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Gainesville posted the appeal first thing Monday after its lead pastor Reverend Thomas Vander Woude begged the young mother - who is just shy of six months pregnant - and her partner to let him find an appropriate adoptive family. When they agreed, he took to social media and was shocked when he received more than 900 responses in a day from families willing to adopt the child and raise it as their own. The parents are now interviewing three of those families with an adoption agency. Strange appeal: The Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Gainesville posted a message, pictured, on its Facebook page asking for a family to adopt an unborn baby with Downs syndrome . 'When we got in and opened up around 9:30, it was nearly nonstop. All day long, we were receiving phone calls from people who wanted to adopt the baby,' church staff member Martha Drennan told The Washington Times. 'Father Vander Woude has gotten over 900 emails in regard to the baby.' The note, posted by a volunteer who handles the church's social media pages on behalf of Vander Woude, stated: 'There is a couple in another state who have contacted an adoption agency looking for a family to adopt their Downs Syndrome unborn baby. If a couple has not been found by today they plan to abort the baby. 'If you are interested in adopting . this baby please contact Fr. VW IMMEDIATELY. we are asking all to pray . for this baby and the wisdom that this couple realize the importance of . human life and do not abort this beautiful gift from God.' The couple, who have not been identified, live in a state where abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks.

Deal: Reverend Thomas Vander Woude, left, took to Facebook after he made a deal with the couple to find adoptive parents after the unborn baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome . Thanks: The church was overwhelmed by the responses from willing families and posted its thanks on Facebook, pictured . Given the mother was already almost six months pregnant, Vander Woude had only a short time to find appropriate adoptive parents. But even the church was gob-smacked by the flood of offers, which came from all over the U.S. and across the globe including from England, Puerto Rico and the Netherlands. 'I think it is a wonderful use of social media, that word can so quickly get all over the country and even to foreign countries and that the people who see the value of life are stepping up and saying, "I will take that baby and raise that baby as mine,"' Drennan told The Times. 'It was a beautiful witness all day long that so many people wanted this child and believed in the dignity of that child - Downs syndrome or not.' Summarize this article.

New York (CNN) -- Six months ago, a Long Island convenience store owner turned a would-be robbery into an act of compassion. On Wednesday, the shoplifter made amends with a $50 bill and a thank you letter for saving him from a life of crime. The story began in May 2009, when Mohammad Sohail of Shirley, New York, was closing his Shirley Express convenience store one night. Security camera footage from that evening shows a man wielding a baseball bat barging into the store and demanding money. Sohail had a rifle ready and quickly aimed it directly in the robber's face, forcing the man to drop the bat and lay on the ground. Unbeknownst to the man, Sohail never loads his gun. According to Sohail, the man immediately started to plead with him, tearfully saying, "I'm sorry, I have no food. I have no money. My whole family is hungry. Don't call the police. Don't shoot me." "When I see him starting crying [those] things, I really feel bad for him," said Sohail. "I say, oh man, this is something different." Sohail made the man pledge never to rob anybody ever again, then gave the man $40 and a loaf bread. Sohail, who is from Pakistan, said the man then wanted to be a Muslim like him, so he recited an Islamic oath and gave the would-be robber the name Nawaz Sharif Zardari. Sohail went to get some milk, but when he returned the man had fled with the money and food. Both Mohammad Sohail and Suffolk County Police have no idea who the man is. After the May incident, Sohail explained that he will "absolutely not" be pressing charges, though police are still investigating the case. Over the past six months, Sohail's story of sympathy and kindness has inspired many across the country. The Shirley Express store has received numerous letters of admiration. "No person has ever moved my spirit the way you did. From your biggest admirer," one letter says. "Great men are capable of great acts. You are a great American," another reads. He has also received several checks with such messages for "a couple hundred dollars" in total, says Sohail. He has made a point to give this money "to the people" by offering free bagels, rolls and coffee in his store every night after 9 o'clock. But the envelope that arrived on Wednesday came as a surprise. Postmarked November 11 without a return address, it enclosed a $50 bill and a note apparently from the would-be robber. The typed letter begins, "You change My Life (sic)," and goes on to say that the man is sorry for his actions six months ago. "At the time I had No money No food on my table No Job, and nothing for my family. I know that it was wrong, but I had know (sic) choice. I needed to feed My family. When You had That gun to my head I was 100% that I was going to die," reads the letter. The letter says Sohail's acts inspired him to become a "True Muslim" and that his life has changed dramatically. "I'm very happy that somebody got to change his life," Sohail said. "If he is a maybe criminal, maybe is not anymore. So now he is a good person in this community and I'm very glad for that. He's staying out of trouble, he's not in a jail, he's taking care of his family." CNN's Mary Snow and Shirley Zilberstein contributed to this report. Summarize this article.

Question: Leonard and his brother Michael bought presents for their father. Leonard bought a wallet at $50 and two pairs of sneakers at $100 each pair, while Michael bought a backpack at $100 and two pairs of jeans at $50 each pair. How much did they spend in all? Answer:

Two pairs of sneakers cost 2 x $100 = $<<2*100=200>>200. So, Leonard spent $50 + $200 = $<<50+200=250>>250. Two pairs of jeans cost 2 x $50 = $<<2*50=100>>100. Thus, Michael spent $100 + $100 = $<<100+100=200>>200. Therefore, they spent a total of $250 + $200 = $<<250+200=450>>450 in all. The answer is 450.

Andrew Turner, who has been the MP for the Isle of Wight for more than a decade, is facing calls to resign over revelations regarding his love life . A veteran Tory MP is facing calls to resign over revelations regarding his love life, after it emerged that his partner of 17 years had begun living with one of his closest advisers. Andrew Turner, who has been the MP for the Isle of Wight for more than a decade, has had his election campaign thrown into disarray over the complicated love triangle. The furore began after it emerged that Mr Turner, who has been the island's MP for 13 years, had moved out of the house he shared with his fiancée Carole Dennett, who was also his parliamentary assistant. But it later emerged that Nicholas Finney, who advises the MP on transport and was in the process of divorcing his wife, had instead moved into the taxpayer-funded home that Mr Turner previously shared with Ms Dennett. A few days after Christmas, Mr Turner then moved back into the house. Days later, Ms Dennett moved out with her new partner. Local Tories now fear the traditionally safe seat could be lost amid allegations Mr Turner has become a 'laughing stock' on the island. They are now calling for the politician to stand down, fearing he will be defeated in May's General Election. But Mr Turner's allies insist he will not cave in. He will launch his campaign for re-election at a press conference on Monday. A Isle of Wight Conservative Association meeting scheduled for later this month is due to debate a motion calling for Mr Turner to stand down. Denise Grannum and Edward Giles, two former chairmen, are two of the association members who have urged Mr Turner to resign. In a letter sent this week, they wrote: 'The recent revelations about your separation, and the fact that you, as the seeming "innocent" party, moved out of the house to let her and her new lover be there only serves to emphasise to outsiders that you are in thrall to Carole and are totally dominated by her. 'We have noted that Mr Finney appears to have an ongoing role as your transport adviser and this gives rise to question about your judgement. It also causes ambiguity about the future role of these two individuals in your office. None of this gives either the party or the public the impression that you are genuinely in charge of your work.' The furore began after it emerged Mr Turner (right) had moved out of the house he shared with his fiancée Carole Dennett (left) - who was also his parliamentary assistant - to make way for his aide, Nicholas Finney . MailOnline has tried to contact Mr Turner, but he has not responded. Last week, Mr Turner's election agent also quit, just a week before the official launch of the campaign. Mike Rooke's resignation follows that of Mr Turner's campaign manager Keith Hook who quit after less than a month. Andrew Turner's transport advisor Nick Finney has started a relationship with the MP's ex fiancee Carole Dennett . Mr Rooke said he had stepped down to help his daughter launch a cycling business in France and denied it was connected to revelations about the MP's personal life. But Keith Hook said he had been unable to work with certain people in the campaign team, the County Press reported. Separately, Mr Finney spoke to local website On The Wight about his relationship with the MP. He reportedly told the website: 'Andrew Turner's opponents are trying every possible way to harm him. 'I am sorry that my relationship with Carole is being used to try to harm Andrew, not least because he is a thoroughly decent MP who serves the Island very well and is widely respected.' The saga is the latest in a string of controversies to surround the MP. In 2009, Mr Turner claimed more than £100,00 in expenses after designating the couple's house on the island as his 'second' home. Mr Turner always insisted the claims were in line with the rules. During the scandal, it was also revealed Miss Dennett told Commons officials that she looked forward to spending his office expenses on 'lots of booze so that the forthcoming elections goes in an alcoholic blur'.

He's known as "Asian golf's John Daly" but Kiradech Aphibarnrat made a name for himself with his first European Tour victory on Sunday. The 23-year-old won the rain-shortened Malaysian Open by one shot from former European Ryder Cup star Edoardo Molinari to become only the fourth Thai player to win on the circuit. A burly big hitter, he is said to resemble Daly, who twice won major titles before his career went off the rails due to his various addictions. Aphibarnrat, however, has no such off-course issues, though he has been struggling with a thyroid problem according to the Asian Tour website. "I'm so happy this week. I'm proud of myself and for my family. I almost won here a few years ago (he tied for third in 2010) and finally I made it. I'm so happy," he said. The co-sanctioned tournament was reduced to three rounds due to bad weather, and the final day was also disrupted by storms. Aphibarnrat had a one-shot lead after 15 holes when play was halted for two hours, but held his nerve after the resumption as he narrowly avoided a water hazard on 17 and and had to sink a 15-foot putt to par. He was able to drop a shot at the last for the biggest victory of his career and a $458,330 first prize that put him top of the Asian Tour money list, with a 54-hole total of 13-under-par 203. "During the suspension, I couldn't eat anything. I was so excited," said Aphibarnrat, who completed a second round of four-under 68 before closing with a 70. "When I walked out, everything was shaking, even my voice. My caddy told me to just concentrate, just two more holes. I'm lucky that I played only 54 holes. Otherwise, I am so tired due to the weather and the golf course." Molinari watched on, knowing that if he had earlier done better than par at 18 he would have been in a playoff. The Italian had made the halfway cut for the first time in six starts this year since returning from a worrying wrist injury, and was pleased with the improvements he has made under new swing coach Sean Foley -- who also works with Tiger Woods. "It's mixed emotions because I'm very happy to have a good week for the first time in a long time. The swing changes are starting to pay off, which is surprising because I thought it would take a lot longer," said the 32-year-old, who played on the 2010 Ryder Cup-winning team but has not claimed a European Tour title since earlier that season, when he triumphed twice. "But I'm disappointed because I had a lot of chances on the back nine," he added, having carded 67. "The 18th is only the second fairway I missed all day which is very disappointing." Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel had been one shot behind Aphibarnrat at the start of the day, but finished tied for fourth with France's Victor Dubuisson after a 71. "It's a hard week with being on and off the course the whole time," said Schwartzel, whose fellow South African Louis Oosthuizen won the tournament last year. "It's difficult to find any rhythm. I feel like I swung the club pretty well, but I didn't play that well today." Schwartzel was a runaway 11-shot winner at the Thai Golf Championship in December, where Aphibarnrat tied for sixth and Daly missed the cut, but this time he had to settle for a minor placing as Denmark's Anders Hansen fired 66 to claim third.. "For some reason I was hitting short irons all over the shop," Schwartzel said. "Kiradech did well. I would've liked to have applied a bit more pressure on him." Summarize this article.

(CNN) -- Barcelona's unbeaten record in La Liga was dramatically ended on Saturday as they slumped to a shock 3-2 defeat at Real Sociedad. Tito Vilanova's side were two goals up inside the first half hour thanks to strikes from Lionel Messi (7th minute) and Pedro (25th minute) and looked to be on course for another routine three points. But five minutes before the break, Uruguayan winger Gonzalo Castro halved the deficit and when Barca's Gerard Pique was shown his second yellow card in the 56th minute the home side took full toll of the numerical advantage. Six minutes later, Castro found the target again to level the scores and to set up a tense finale which concluded in dramatic fashion when striker Imanol Agirretxe stabbed home from close range in injury time. The defeat brings the curtain down on a sensational run of results for the Catalans who, until Saturday, had amassed 55 points from a possible 57 -- Real Madrid the only team to take points off them this season with a 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp in October. Second-placed Atletico Madrid can close the gap on Barcelona to eight points if they beat Levante on Sunday. Elsewhere in La Liga, Getafe and Sevilla drew 1-1 while struggling Granada beat sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano 2-0. Meanwhile in Serie A, league leaders Juventus recorded an emphatic 4-0 win against Udinese. Paul Pogba scored two memorable goals as the reigning champions moved five points clear at the top of the table.

Passage: The Life, Adventures, and Pyracies, of the Famous Captain Singleton (1720) covers both land and sea in one volume, in two neatly composed halves. The first half of the novel includes a remarkable overland trek across Africa after the characters are stranded in Madagascar, and the second half is almost entirely at sea, involving piratical heists in the East Indies. Eventually, Captain Bob and his close friend William Walters return to England with their spoils via Venice, disguised as Armenians.'At the beginning of the novel, Singleton, as a young boy, is kidnapped and sold to a gypsy by a beggar-woman. He is 'raised as a ward of a parish, and sent to sea at age twelve. Soon he is captured by Turkish pirates, rescued by sailors from Portugal, and after a two-year stay in that country, sails for the East Indies. By his own account young singleton is a rogue who steals from the ship's captain and harbors the desire to kill his master. Nearly hanged for his part in an attempted mutiny, Singleton is set ashore with four companions on the coast of Madagascar. A score of other sailors from the ship join them and the ensuing narrative relates their efforts to survive on the island.' The sailors find and rebuild an abandoned boat and eventually decide to pursue a journey through Africa. 'In their encounters with African natives, the Europeans provide resourceful but brutal.' 'During the hazardous trip Singleton becomes the leader of the group by virtue of his fearlessness and ingenuity. He is a cold pragmatist whose lack of compassion is exceeded only by his talent for survival. When they find a wounded native, Singleton makes a decision based purely on expediency.' Singleton makes the decision, after considering to let the native die, that they might find the man useful to them. 'During the arduous march through lands teeming with leopards, elephants, crocodiles, and snakes, the travelers avoid catastrophe because of their modern weaponry and their European belief in reason rather than in magic. [...] The marchers meet an English merchant who has been living with the natives and who persuades Singleton and his companions to stop awhile in order to dig for gold. Having loaded themselves down with gold and elephant tusks, the adventurers finally reach a Dutch settlement, where they divide the spoils and immediately go their separate ways.' 'Once Singleton has spent his fortune in England, he sets out again, this time for the West Indies where, by his boastful admission, he quickly takes to piracy. [...] Singleton's abilities bring him high command, although his piratical activities encourage the growth of a callousness so pervasive that at times it leads to cruelty. He denies that his men have committed certain atrocities, but calmly admits that "more was done than it is fit to speak of here" (p. 188). In this portion of the novel events pile up rapidly, and there are chases and sea battles in which Singleton proves himself an able, courageous, and imaginative leader. [...] From the Indies the scene shifts to the East African coast and Madagascar where the pirates continue to plunder and sail restlessly in search of new conquests. Defoe draws a portrait of men whose love of gold is less urgent than their need for adventure. This lust for novelty takes Singleton and his men into the Pacific as far as the Philippines, before they trace their way back to the Indian Ocean and Ceylon.' 'Friend William, a Quaker surgeon, becomes the center of the narrative as he outwits a Ceylonese King and rescues a Dutch slave. William displays further resourcefulness by succeeding in trade negotiations with English merchants in India. He serves Singleton loyally and bravely as a kind of man Friday: he is, moreover, a Christian humanist and healer who ultimately persuades his captain that a life of piracy leads nowhere. When Singleton contemplates suicide in the throes of repentance, William convinces him that the idea of taking one's life is the "Devil's Notion" (p. 332) and therefore must be ignored.' When they return to England, they make the decision to stay together for the rest of their lives. Singleton marries William's sister, a widow, 'and the story ends rapidly on a note of domestic peace.' Question: Where does Singleton set out for after he spends his fortune in England? Answer:

West Indies

Passage: Skye (Brooke Shields) is interviewing beloved former child star Ricky Coogin (Alex Winter). Rather bluntly, Skye asks how Ricky so quickly went from one of America's sweethearts to a name that makes children scream in terror. It all began when he accepted a job from the slimy mega-corporation E.E.S. to promote "Zygrot 24", a controversial and lethal toxic fertilizer, in South America. Although hesitant at first, the greedy, self-centered Coogin caves in after their sleazy chairman (William Sadler) offers him $5,000,000 and he hops on the first plane to South America with his buddy Ernie (Michael Stoyanov). During their flight, the duo have a run-in with Ricky's 12-year old number one fan Stuey Gluck (Alex Zuckerman). Once Ricky and Ernie arrive in the country of Santa Flan, they cross paths with a group of protesters, specifically the hard-willed and attractive young environmentalist Julie (Megan Ward). The two con Julie into thinking they're also environmentalists and she agrees to join them on a trip to an anti-Zygrot 24 protest. However, she soon finds out their true identities and the three are stuck with each other for the rest of the drive. They decide to take a detour to see Freek Land, a freak show, and they wind up in the clutches of demented proprietor Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid) and his henchman, the long-tongued Toad (Jaime Cardriche). Skuggs introduces them to his "Tasty Freekz Machine", a contraption powered by Zygrot 24 that morphs regular people into "Hideous Mutant Freekz" to become part of his show. Julie and Ernie are merged into a pair of conjoined twins and Ricky is transformed into a hideous half-man, half-monster. Ricky meets the other freaks: Ortiz the Dog Boy (Keanu Reeves), the self-proclaimed "Leader of the Freaks"; Worm (Derek McGrath), the half-man, half-worm; Nosey (Jeff Kahn), whose entire head is one big nose; Cowboy (John Hawkes), the half-man, half-cow; the Bearded Lady (Mr. T); Sockhead (Bobcat Goldthwait), who has a sock puppet for a head; The Eternal Flame (Lee Arenberg), who has constant flaming flatulence; Rosie the Pinhead; The Hideous Frogman (Tim Burns), a Frenchman in a scuba suit; and the skeleton of Paul Lynde. At first, Ricky wants nothing to do with any of the other freaks, but soon warms up to them after hearing their stories of how they came to be here. Meanwhile, he discovers that he's developed a telepathic bond with Stuey and summons him to get help. Stuey manages to sell Ricky's story to the Weekly World News, but ends up being captured by a group of shady businessmen that presumably work for Elijah. Ricky eventually finds out that Elijah's Zygrot suppliers are none other than E.E.S., who arrive at Freek Land with a shipment of Zygrot and an imprisoned Stuey Gluck. As they discuss their plans to mutate the world's population into an efficient workforce, Stuey follows a telepathic tip from Rick and manages to escape, grabbing the tainted batch of Zygrot along the way. Elijah goes ahead and infects Ricky with his own Zygrot, turning him into an equally grotesque seven-foot monster. As the Ricky Monster and Stuey Monster battle to the death onstage, Elijah catches the E.E.S. executives double-crossing him and stealing his "Tasty Freaks Machine". Right before the Ricky Monster is about to destroy the Stuey Monster, however, a wave of compassion comes over him, and he drops his weapon and gives Stuey a hug. Enraged, Elijah unsuccessfully tries to fight the Ricky Monster, who bashes him in the head, paralyzing him. They are then joined by the still-mutated Ortiz and the Stuey Monster before it's revealed that Skye Daley is actually Elijah C. Skuggs. Skuggs lunges after Ricky with a machete, only to be gunned down by the now normal Julie. As she embraces Ricky, Skye rises again, this time to be gunned down by Ernie.

Question: Mark bought a shirt, pants, and shoes for $340. What is the price of the pants knowing that the price of a shirt is three-quarters of the price of the pants and that the price of a shoe is ten dollars more than the price of the pants? Answer:

Let X be the price of the pants. The price of the shirt is 3/4*X. The price of the shoes is X+10. The total amount paid is X + 3/4*X + X+10 = $340. Combining like terms we get X*11/4 + 10 = $340. Subtracting 10 from both sides we get X*11/4 = $330. Dividing both sides by 11/4 we get X = $120. The answer is 120.

Passage: A scholar and explorer, Dr. Samuel Ferguson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend professional hunter Richard "Dick" Kennedy, sets out to travel across the African continent — still not fully explored — with the help of a balloon filled with hydrogen. He has invented a mechanism that, by eliminating the need to release gas or throw ballast overboard to control his altitude, allows very long trips to be taken. This voyage is meant to link together the voyages of Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke in East Africa with those of Heinrich Barth in the regions of the Sahara and Chad. The trip begins in Zanzibar on the east coast, and passes across Lake Victoria, Lake Chad, Agadez, Timbuktu, Djenné and Ségou to St Louis in modern-day Senegal on the west coast. The book describes the unknown interior of Africa near modern-day Central African Republic as a desert, when it is actually savanna. A good deal of the initial exploration is to focus on the finding of the source of the Nile, an event that occurs in chapter 18 (out of 43). The second leg is to link up the other explorers. There are numerous scenes of adventure, composed of either a conflict with a native or a conflict with the environment. Some examples include: Rescuing of a missionary from a tribe that was preparing to sacrifice him. Running out of water while stranded, windless, over the Sahara. An attack on the balloon by condors, leading to a dramatic action as Joe leaps out of the balloon. The actions taken to rescue Joe later. Narrowly escaping the remnants of a militant army as the balloon dwindles to nothingness with the loss of hydrogen. An anachronistic killing of a Bluebuck antelope, a species which was already extinct.* In all these adventures, the protagonists overcome by continued perseverance more than anything else. The novel is filled with coincidental moments where trouble is avoided because wind catches up at just the right time, or the characters look in just the right direction. There are frequent references to a higher power watching out for them. The balloon itself ultimately fails before the end, but makes it far enough across to get the protagonists to friendly lands, and eventually back to England, therefore succeeding in the expedition. The story abruptly ends after the African trip, with only a brief synopsis of what follows. Question: What is the primary focus of the explorers at the beginning of their journey? Answer:

They are seeking out the source of the Nile River.

Passage: The short story takes place in a land ruled by a semi-barbaric king. Some of the king's ideas are progressive, but others cause people to suffer. One of the king’s innovations is the use of a public trial by ordeal as an agent of poetic justice, with guilt or innocence decided by the result of chance. A person accused of a crime is brought into a public arena and must choose one of two doors. Behind one door is a lady whom the king has deemed an appropriate match for the accused; behind the other is a fierce, hungry tiger. Both doors are heavily soundproofed to prevent the accused from hearing what is behind each one. If he chooses the door with the lady behind it, he is innocent and must immediately marry her, but if he chooses the door with the tiger behind it, he is deemed guilty and is immediately devoured by it. The king learns that his daughter has a lover, a handsome and brave youth who is of lower status than the princess, and has him imprisoned to await trial. By the time that day comes, the princess has used her influence to learn the positions of the lady and the tiger behind the two doors. She has also discovered that the lady is someone whom she hates, thinking her to be a rival for the affections of the accused. When he looks to the princess for help, she discreetly indicates the door on his right, which he opens. The outcome of this choice is not revealed. Instead, the narrator departs from the story to summarize the princess's state of mind and her thoughts about directing the accused to one fate or the other, as she will lose him to either death or marriage. The story ends with the question, "And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door – the lady, or the tiger?" Question: Why has the prisoner been brought to trial? Answer:

The prisoner and the king's daughter were having a love affair.

Passage: At the Saint Ignatius Orphanage, a rebellious boy named John Rossi refers to himself as "Simon Templar" and leads a group of fellow orphans as they attempt to run away to escape their harsh treatment. When Simon is caught by the head priest, he witnesses the tragic death of a girl he had taken a liking to when she accidentally falls from a balcony. As an adult, Simon (Val Kilmer)—now a professional thief dubbed "The Saint" for using the names of Catholic saints as aliases—steals a valuable microchip belonging to a Russian oil company. Simon stages the burglary during a political rally held for the company's owner, Ivan Tretiak (Rade Šerbedžija). Tretiak is a former Communist party boss and a billionaire oil and gas oligarch that is rallying support against the Russian President. Simon is caught in the act by Tretiak's son Ilya (Valery Nikolaev) but escapes with the microchip. After learning of the heist, Tretiak contacts Simon and hires him to steal a revolutionary cold fusion formula discovered by American electrochemist Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue). He wishes to acquire Emma's formula—which creates clean, inexpensive energy—so he can monopolize the energy market during a severe oil shortage in Russia. Using the alias "Thomas More," Simon poses as an Afrikaner and steals the formula after having a one night stand with Emma. Tretiak learns Emma's formula is incomplete and orders his henchmen, led by his son Ilya, to kill Simon and kidnap Emma in order to obtain the remaining information. Heartbroken, Emma reports the theft to Inspector Teal (Alun Armstrong) and Inspector Rabineau (Charlotte Cornwell) of Scotland Yard, who inform her Simon is a wanted international thief. Emma tracks down Simon to a hotel in Moscow and confronts him about the theft and his betrayal. The Russian police, loyal to Tretiak, arrest Simon and Emma. However, they manage to escape from the police van as they are being brought to Tretiak's mansion. As they flee through the suburbs, Simon and Emma are helped by a prostitute and her family who shelter them in a hidden room in their home. Later, they meet "Frankie" (Irina Apeksimova), a fence who sells them the directions through an underground sewer system that lead to the American embassy. Simon and Emma exit the sewer tunnel only to find Ilya and his men waiting for them among a gathering of protestors outside the embassy's front gates. Emma safely makes it to the embassy for political asylum, while Simon allows himself to be caught by Ilya as a distraction. He escapes after rigging a car bomb that severely burns Ilya. Simon plants a listening device in Tretiak's office and learns he plans to perform a coup d'état by selling the cold fusion formula to Russian President Karpov to frame him for wasting billions on useless technology. Tretiak then plans to use the political fallout to install himself as President. Emma finishes the equations to complete the formula, and Simon delivers the information to Tretiak's physicist, Dr. Lev Botkin (Henry Goodman), who builds an apparatus which proves the formula works. Simon infiltrates the President's Kremlin residence and informs him of Tretiak's conspiracy just before Tretiak loyalists detain him. In front of a massive gathering in Red Square, Tretiak makes public accusations against President Karpov, but when the cold fusion reactor is successfully initiated, Tretiak is exposed as a fraud and arrested. He is also revealed to have caused the heating oil shortage in Moscow by illegally stockpiling vast amounts of heating oil underneath his mansion. Sometime later, at a news conference at the University of Oxford, Emma presents her cold fusion formula to the world. Simon attends the conference in disguise and once again avoids being captured by Inspectors Teal and Rabineau when they spot him in the crowd. As he drives away, he listens to a news radio broadcast (voiced by Roger Moore) reporting that $3 billion was recently donated to the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the United Nations Children's Fund. It is implied that Simon, who had access to Tretiak's accounts, donated the money anonymously. Furthermore, a non-profit foundation led by Dr. Botkin is being established to develop the cold fusion technology. Question: How does Simon acquire the nickname "The Saint"? Answer:

He uses the names of Catholic saints as aliases during his robberies.

Passage: The story begins with the unnamed narrator arriving at the house of his friend, Roderick Usher, having received a letter from him in a distant part of the country complaining of an illness and asking for his help. As he arrives, the narrator notes a thin crack extending from the roof, down the front of the building and into the adjacent lake. Although Poe wrote this short story before the invention of modern psychological science, Roderick's condition can be described according to its terminology. It includes a form of sensory overload known as hyperesthesia (hypersensitivity to textures, light, sounds, smells and tastes), hypochondria (an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness) and acute anxiety. It is revealed that Roderick's twin sister, Madeline, is also ill and falls into cataleptic, deathlike trances. The narrator is impressed with Roderick's paintings, and attempts to cheer him by reading with him and listening to his improvised musical compositions on the guitar. Roderick sings "The Haunted Palace", then tells the narrator that he believes the house he lives in to be alive, and that this sentience arises from the arrangement of the masonry and vegetation surrounding it. Roderick later informs the narrator that his sister has died and insists that she be entombed for two weeks in the family tomb located in the house before being permanently buried. The narrator helps Roderick put the body in the tomb, and he notes that Madeline has rosy cheeks, as some do after death. They inter her, but over the next week both Roderick and the narrator find themselves becoming increasingly agitated for no apparent reason. A storm begins. Roderick comes to the narrator's bedroom, which is situated directly above the vault, and throws open his window to the storm. He notices that the tarn surrounding the house seems to glow in the dark, as it glowed in Roderick Usher's paintings, although there is no lightning. The narrator attempts to calm Roderick by reading aloud The Mad Tryst, a novel involving a knight named Ethelred who breaks into a hermit's dwelling in an attempt to escape an approaching storm, only to find a palace of gold guarded by a dragon. He also finds, hanging on the wall, a shield of shining brass on which is written a legend: Who entereth herein, a conqueror hath bin; Who slayeth the dragon, the shield he shall win; With a stroke of his mace, Ethelred kills the dragon, who dies with a piercing shriek, and proceeds to take the shield, which falls to the floor with an unnerving clatter. As the narrator reads of the knight's forcible entry into the dwelling, cracking and ripping sounds are heard somewhere in the house. When the dragon is described as shrieking as it dies, a shriek is heard, again within the house. As he relates the shield falling from off the wall, a reverberation, metallic and hollow, can be heard. Roderick becomes increasingly hysterical, and eventually exclaims that these sounds are being made by his sister, who was in fact alive when she was entombed. Additionally, Roderick somehow knew that she was alive. The bedroom door is then blown open to reveal Madeline standing there. She falls on her brother, and both land on the floor as corpses. The narrator then flees the house, and, as he does so, notices a flash of moonlight behind him which causes him to turn back, in time to see the moon shining through the suddenly widened crack. As he watches, the House of Usher splits in two and the fragments sink into the tarn. Question: As the narrator helps Roderick put Madeline in the tomb, what did he notice? Answer:

She had rosy cheeks.

London (CNN) -- The Beatles, the Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, the Kinks, the Clash, Oasis -- rock music's history is littered with bands marred by messy breakups. Even spending three decades on the road together seems no barrier to disharmony, as Peter Hook and his former New Order bandmates are finding out. The musicians are now exchanging bitter words in public while fighting in court over who owns the right to use the New Order name. Hook compares the situation to a bitter divorce; singer and guitarist Bernard Sumner says the bass player's decision to perform the band's early material on tour is "disrespectful." "This is quite a unique way of arguing ... this fracas now of arguing over the trademark," Hook tells CNN by telephone. "None of this 'namby-pamby sitting around a table and sorting it out,' we want to do it all in public." New Order was formed in 1980 by Sumner, Hook and drummer Steven Morris, who had previously been in melancholy post-punk band Joy Division until the death of singer Ian Curtis. Along with keyboardist Gillian Gilbert they went on to break new ground by combining northern guitar music with synthesizers, and later dance rhythms. The group's 1983 single "Blue Monday" remains the biggest-selling 12-inch disc in UK chart history. Hook left in 2007, claiming it would be impossible for New Order to make music without him. However, Sumner, Morris and Gilbert reformed four years later without him and are now touring and planning to release new material under the New Order name. The bassist says he has raw feelings about his exclusion. "I wasn't even told they were reforming," he says. "I just got a cryptic message to listen to the radio at 1pm on the Monday when it was announced. It's like being divorced and getting shown the door without even being told why." For his part, Sumner has laid into Hook, saying that the bassist was affected badly after being treated for alcoholism. "When he came out of treatment for this event, he was a worse person, in my opinion," the guitarist told the now-defunct Spinner.com. "He tore strips off me and said everything that had ever gone wrong with New Order was my fault; everyone was really puzzled... And then he just started attacking everyone else -- the management -- everyone was 's***' except him." The singer also said he was saddened by his former bandmate's lack of interest in New Order, and Hook confirmed that a reunion seemed unlikely. "Will we get back together? At the moment we're at the stage when, if you're getting divorced, your wife's cutting the dog in half and tearing all the sleeves off your suits ... so the answer would have to be no." Hook likens the dispute to four people who run a shop for 30 years together. "Then one day you came along and the others have locked you out. They're inside still selling without your knowledge and consent. How would you feel?" Warming to his theme, the 57-year-old poses the question: "Why was I locked out of the shop? It obviously has to do with the fact that I resurrected the Joy Division music. But they resurrected it first when they played as Bad Lieutenant (the band name Sumner performed under between 2008 and 2011) without asking me. It's do as I say, not as I do. "But anyone has the right to play Joy Division. I can't stop a busker playing 'Blue Monday'; I might have an opinion about it, but I can't stop him." Hook's new band The Light is playing two dates in the United States this week, performing the first two New Order albums, 1981's "Movement" and "Power, Corruption and Lies" from 1983 in their entirety. The divorce metaphor never far away, he says playing the older material is like "getting the kids for the weekend after a particularly nasty split. It's nice to get the songs back." "'Movement' is a very Joy Division record with New Order vocals, whereas by the time "Power, Corruption & Lies" came along, it was a proper New Order record. On "Movement," (producer) Martin Hannett played the vocals down a lot, so it's nice with the experience I have now, to be able to really belt it out properly." On previous tours Hook's group played the two Joy Division albums, material New Order rarely performed. "I'm celebrating the Joy Division thing that New Order made a conscious decision to ignore -- and were right to ignore. But once New Order split up and I was on the outside, you start thinking, hang on a minute everyone revered Joy Division. The only people who don't celebrate it were the people who were in Joy Division." Hook acknowledges the name of his old band is far better known to fans than that of his new one, so the legal battle over who owns the trademark is not just a matter of pride. "I'm trying to establish my name," he says. "But if you're talking about a group like New Order that has an established brand and trademark, then yes, you make much more off live performances now than you do off recording. "And it's the Rolling Stones phenomenon. No one wants to hear your new stuff anyway, they want to hear your old stuff." Summarize this article.

More than 50 million people worldwide currently are refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced within their own countries, the U.N. refugee agency said Friday, in a new report released to mark World Refugee Day. That figure is more than the entire population of Spain, South Africa or South Korea, or more than double the population of Australia. The 51.2 million registered for 2013 is also 6 million more than the 45.2 million reported in 2012, according to the UNHCR's annual Global Trends report -- a big jump in the wrong direction. The huge increase was driven mainly by the war in Syria, which at the end of last year had created 2.5 million refugees and displaced another 6.5 million people within Syria, the report said. Major internal displacement was also seen last year in Africa, in the Central African Republic and South Sudan, where conflicts have taken on an increasingly ethnic nature. "We are seeing here the immense costs of not ending wars, of failing to resolve or prevent conflict," said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres. While humanitarian organizations can provide some relief, he said, "political solutions are vitally needed. Without this, the alarming levels of conflict and the mass suffering that is reflected in these figures will continue." The latest conflict in Iraq, where Sunni extremist fighters are advancing southward toward Baghdad, doesn't figure in the report since it covers 2013. But more than 1 million people have been displaced by fighting in Iraq so far this year -- half of them in the past couple of weeks. That's about one in 30 people nationwide who have fled their homes. The soaring number of refugees means more demand on the world's wealthier donor countries to provide aid and on those nations on the front lines to shelter and absorb the refugees. Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq have all taken in large numbers of refugees from Syria since its 3-year-old civil war began. Speaking in Geneva, Switzerland, on Friday, Guterres warned that if the current conflict in Iraq worsens, prompting citizens to flee the country, the region will come under even greater strain. "Looking at the region, one asks ourselves, how can refugees from Iraq be received in the context of all the other situations that exist around Iraq?" he said. "So, I hope that this outflow will never come because the capacity of the region to deal with it is practically nonexistent." According to the report, the total number of refugees registered with the UNHCR and its sister organization, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, in 2013 totaled 16.7 million. The largest populations were from Afghanistan, Syria and Somalia -- together accounting for more than half of the global refugee total, the UNHCR said. By region, Asia and the Pacific had the largest refugee population overall at 3.5 million people, the report said. Sub-Saharan Africa had 2.9 million, while the Middle East and North Africa had 2.6 million. Another 1.1 million people submitted applications for asylum last year, according to the report, the majority of them in developed countries, with Germany a favorite. Asylum seekers from Syria lodged the most applications, some 64,000, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanmar. More than 25,000 asylum applications were filed by children who were on their own or separated from their parents, in what the UNHCR said was a record number. There were relatively few refugee returns in 2013, the report said, totaling fewer than 415,000. Opinion: Deterring and denying asylum seekers in Australia . Iraqis choking roads to Kurdistan fear airstrikes, wanton violence . Summarize this article.

Question: Alexa was on vacation for 3/4ths of the time it took Ethan to learn 12 fencing tricks. Joey spent half as much this time (that Ethan spent learning the tricks) learning to swim. If Alexa spent a week and 2 days on vacation, how many days did it take Joey to learn swimming? Answer:

There are 7 days in one week so one week and 2 days = 7+2 = <<7+2=9>>9 days Call the time Ethan spends learning tricks e. Alexa spent 9 days on vacation which is 3/4ths of the time Ethan spent learning 12 fencing tricks, hence (3/4)e = 9 days If we multiply both sides of this equation by 4/3, we get e = (4/3)*9 days = <<(4/3)*9=12>>12 days Joey spent half of 12 days which is 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 days to learn swimming The answer is 6.

Passage: The action is set during World War I. While John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (Tarzan) is away from his plantation home in British East Africa, it is destroyed by invading German troops from Tanganyika. On his return he discovers among many burned bodies one that appears to be the corpse of his wife, Jane Porter Clayton. Another fatality is the Waziri warrior Wasimbu, left crucified by the Germans. (Wasimbu's father Muviro, first mentioned in this story, goes on to play a prominent role in later Tarzan novels.) Maddened, the ape-man seeks revenge not only on the perpetrators of the tragedy but all Germans, and sets out for the battle front of the war in east Africa. On the way he has a run-in with a lion (or Numa, as it is called by the apes among whom Tarzan was raised), which he traps in a gulch by blocking the entrance. At the front he infiltrates the German headquarters and seizes Major Schneider, the officer he believes led the raid on his estate. Returning to the gulch, he throws his captive to the lion. Tarzan goes on to help the British in the battle in various ways, including setting the lion loose in the enemy trenches, and kills von Goss, another German officer involved in the attack on the Greystoke estate. He then becomes embroiled in the affairs of Bertha Kircher, a woman he has seen in both the German and British camps, and believes to be a German spy, particularly after he learns she possesses his mother's locket, which he had given as a gift to Jane. His efforts to retrieve it lead him to a rendezvous between Kircher and Captain Fritz Schneider, brother of the major Tarzan threw to the lion previously, and the actual commander of the force that burned the estate. Killing Schneider, Tarzan believes his vengeance complete. Abandoning his vendetta against the Germans he departs for the jungle, swearing off all company with mankind. Seeking a band of Mangani, the apes among whom he had been raised, Tarzan crosses a desert, undergoing great privations. Indeed, the desert is almost his undoing. He only survives by feigning death to lure a vulture (Ska in the ape language) following him into his reach; he then catches and devours the vulture, which gives him the strength to go on. The scene is a powerful one, a highlight both of the novel and of the Tarzan series as a whole. On the other side of the desert Tarzan locates the ape band. While with them he once again encounters Bertha Kircher, who has just escaped from Sergeant Usanga, leader a troop of native deserters from the German army, by whom she had been taken captive. Despite his suspicion of Bertha, Tarzan's natural chivalry leads him to grant her shelter and protection among the apes. Later he himself falls captive to the tribe of cannibals the deserters have sheltered among, along with Harold Percy Smith-Oldwick, a British aviator who has been forced down in the jungle. Learning of Tarzan's plight, Bertha heroically leads the apes against the natives and frees them both. Smith-Oldwick becomes infatuated with Bertha, and they search for his downed plane. They find it, but are captured again by Usanga, who attempts to fly off in it with Bertha. Tarzan arrives in time to board the plane as it takes off and throw Usanga from the plane. Smith-Oldwick and Bertha Kircher then try to pilot it back across the desert to civilization, but fail to make it. Seeing the plane go down, Tarzan once more sets out to rescue them. On the way he encounters another Numa, this one an unusual black lion caught in a pit trap, and frees it. He, the two lovers and the lion are soon reunited, but attacked by warriors from the lost city of Xuja, hidden in a secret desert valley. Tarzan is left for dead and Bertha and Smith-Oldwick taken prisoner. The Xujans are masters of the local lions and worshippers of parrots and monkeys. They are also completely insane as a consequence of long inbreeding. Recovering, Tarzan once more comes to the rescue of his companions, aided by the lion he had saved earlier. But the Xujans pursue them and they turn at bay to make one last stand. The day is saved by a search party from Smith-Oldwick's unit, who turn the tide. Afterward, Tarzan and Smith-Oldwick find out that Bertha is a double agent who has actually been working for the British. Tarzan also learns from the diary of the deceased Fritz Schneider that Jane might still be alive. Question: Who destroyed Tarzan's plantation? Answer:

German troops from Tanganyika.

(CNN) -- DJ and TV host Jimmy Savile was a larger-than-life personality. And a report released Thursday confirms he was also an extravagant sexual predator, using his access to hospitals as a volunteer porter and fundraiser to abuse victims aged from 5 to 75. The review of Savile's behavior at 28 hospitals across the United Kingdom makes shocking reading, detailing a catalog of abuses against some of Britain's most vulnerable people over the course of decades. Protected by his celebrity and exploiting a network of relationships he built in hospitals, he carried out rapes, other sexual abuse and displayed an unhealthy interest in dead bodies in a hospital mortuary. Worse, the abuse went unchecked and unpunished, since the BBC entertainer died before the allegations against him were made public. UK Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt apologized in the House of Commons on Thursday to all the victims abused by Savile while in the care of the National Health Service -- and said the system had let down those who were brave enough to raise the alarm but had their complaints ignored. "Savile was a callous, opportunistic, wicked predator who abused and raped individuals, many of them patients and young people, who expected and had a right to expect to be safe. His actions span five decades -- from the 1960s to 2010," Hunt said. "The family favorite loved by millions courted popularity and used it to perpetrate and cover up his own evil acts." Victims who complained were "time and again" ignored, or if heard, little or no action was taken, Hunt said. "People and institutions turned a blind eye." "As a nation at that time we held Savile in our affection as a somewhat eccentric national treasure with a strong commitment to charitable causes," Hunt said. "Today's reports show that in reality he was a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes." Victims' ages from 5 to 75 . 'Abused and raped patients without scruple' For a generation who grew up watching Savile on TV's "Top of the Pops" and his children's program "Jim'll Fix It," the revelations that first emerged in 2012 were deeply disturbing. Thursday's report into the full extent of his offending against children and adults, patients and staff, in 28 hospitals -- particularly Leeds Infirmary and Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security psychiatric institution -- will do nothing to reassure them. The Leeds Infirmary report reveals a sexual predator who, while volunteering as a porter, "abused and raped patients without scruple," said Hunt. Some 60 people reported abuse to the Leeds investigation, including a teenager who believed she was pregnant as a result of Savile's actions, he said. "Two witnesses told the investigation Savile claimed to have had jewellery made from glass eyes taken from bodies in the mortuary," Hunt added, saying that other claims were too horrific to recount in parliament. The report cites one witness who tells how Savile recounted making trips to the hospital mortuary, where he claimed to have manipulated bodies before rigor mortis set in, taken photographs and performed sex acts on them. The report's authors say they have "no way of proving Savile's claim that he interfered with the bodies of deceased patients in the mortuary." However, it is established that he "publicly declared his interest in the dead," that he visited a friend who worked in the mortuary and that controls were lax for many years. "In light of the claims about the glass eye jewellery and Savile's interference with the bodies of the deceased, it is evident his interest in the mortuary was not within accepted boundaries," it concludes. 'Very manipulative' The report from Broadmoor said 10 people had alleged they were sexually assaulted by Savile, plus a case of indecent exposure involving a minor. The investigation concluded that at least five people were sexually abused and a sixth was more likely than not to have been. Five other victims could not be contacted for detailed accounts. The report gives an insight into how Savile was able to gain a position of influence at the secure institution that included giving him keys to wards and allowing him to watch female patients undress to bathe. "Savile could be charming and persuasive, at least to some, but at the same time he was grandiose, narcissistic, arrogant and lacking any empathy," it states. "He was also very manipulative, and many staff were convinced that he had close connections in high places and had the power to have them dismissed." Una O'Brien, permanent secretary of the Department of Health, said in a statement that "inadequate processes" had allowed Savile to gain the position of authority at Broadmoor that aided his abusive behavior. "While much has changed in the intervening years we will leave no stone unturned to make sure such appalling actions can never be repeated; our thoughts today are with the people who suffered and continue to suffer from these terrible crimes," she said. The UK's NSPCC children's charity said more must be done to safeguard children and ensure that an apparent "culture of turning a blind eye" to abuse is not repeated. "To hear that some hospital staff may have actively facilitated Savile's abuse of children is sickening and takes the scandal of his crimes to yet another abhorrent level," said Peter Watt, national services director for the charity. "Savile escaped justice because people didn't want to hear or believe what children were saying. Ministers now need to be satisfied that this could never happen again and that children and vulnerable adults in hospitals or any government facility are safe today." Savile died in October 2011 at age 84, soon after being treated in a hospital for pneumonia. His long history of abuse emerged only a year later, thanks to a TV documentary by UK broadcaster ITV. The BBC, where he worked as a radio DJ and TV presenter, has set up a separate inquiry into abuses he carried out on BBC premises. CNN's Carol Jordan and Claudia Rebaza contributed to this report.

Passage: Marko Alexandrovich Ramius, a Lithuanian submarine commander in the Soviet Navy, intends to defect to the United States with his officers on board the experimental nuclear submarine Red October, a Typhoon-class vessel equipped with a revolutionary stealth propulsion system that makes audio detection by sonar extremely difficult. The result is a strategic weapon platform that is capable of sneaking its way into American waters and launching nuclear missiles with little or no warning. The strategic value of Red October was not lost upon Ramius, but other factors have spurred his decision to defect. His wife, Natalia, died at the hands of a doctor who was incompetent and intoxicated; however, the doctor escaped punishment due to his status as the son of a Politburo member. Natalia's untimely death, combined with Ramius' long-standing dissatisfaction with the callousness of Soviet rule and his fear of Red October's destabilizing effect on world affairs, exhausts his tolerance for the failings of the Soviet system. As the ship leaves the shipyard at Polyarny, Ramius kills Ivan Putin, his political officer, to ensure that Putin will not interfere with the defection. Before sailing, Ramius had sent a letter to Admiral Yuri Padorin, Natalia's uncle, brazenly stating his intention to defect. The Soviet Northern Fleet therefore sails out to sink Red October under the pretext of a search and rescue mission. Meanwhile, Jack Ryan, a high-level CIA analyst and an ex-Marine, flies from London to Langley, Virginia, to deliver MI6's photographs of Red October to the Deputy Director of Intelligence. Ryan consults a friend at the U.S. Naval Academy, ex-submariner Skip Tyler, and finds out that Red October's new construction variations house its stealth drive. Red October passes near USS Dallas, a Los Angeles class submarine under the command of Cdr. Bart Mancuso, which is patrolling the entrance of a route used by Soviet submarines in the Reykjanes Ridge off Iceland. Dallas hears the sound of the stealth drive but does not identify it as a submarine. Putting information about Ramius' letter together with the subsequent launch of the entire Northern Fleet, Ryan deduces Ramius' plans. The U.S. military reluctantly agrees, while planning for contingencies in case the Soviet Fleet has intentions other than those stated. As tensions rise between the U.S. and Soviet fleets, the crew of Dallas analyze sonar tapes of Red October and finally realize that it is the sound of a new propulsion system. Ryan must contact Ramius to prevent the loss of the submarine and her decisive technology. After it is revealed that Ramius has informed Moscow of his plan for him and his officers to defect, Ryan becomes responsible for shepherding Ramius and his vessel away from the pursuing Soviet fleet, and meets with an old Royal Navy acquaintance, Admiral White, commanding a task force from the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible. In order to convince the Soviets that Red October has been destroyed, the U.S. Navy rescues her crew after Ramius fakes a reactor meltdown. Ramius and his officers stay behind, claiming they are about to scuttle the submarine to prevent it getting into the hands of the Americans. A decommissioned U.S. ballistic missile submarine, the USS Ethan Allen, is blown up underwater as a deception. A depth gauge taken from the main instrument panel of Red October (with the appropriate serial number) is made to appear as if it was salvaged from the wreckage. Meanwhile, Ryan, Captain Mancuso and some of his crew, and Owen Williams (a Russian-speaking British officer from Invincible) board Red October and meet Ramius face-to-face. The deception efforts succeed in convincing Soviet observers that Red October has been lost. However, GRU intelligence officer Igor Loginov, masquerading as Red October's cook, is aware of what Ramius is doing and attempts to ignite a missile rocket motor inside a launch tube so as to destroy Red October. Loginov opens fire with his weapon, killing Captain Lieutenant Kamarov (the ship's navigator) and seriously wounding Ramius and Williams. Ryan attempts to persuade the fiercely patriotic Loginov to surrender rather than die in the explosion, but Loginov refuses. Ryan manages to kill Loginov in the submarine's missile compartment. Captain Viktor Tupolov, a former student of Ramius and commander of the Soviet Alfa-class attack submarine V. K. Konovalov, has been trailing what he initially believes is an Ohio-class vessel. Based on acoustical signature information, Tupolev realizes that it is Red October, and proceeds to pursue and engage it. The two U.S. submarines escorting Red October are unable to fire due to rules of engagement, and Red October is damaged by a torpedo from the Alfa. After a tense standoff, Red October rams Konovalov broadside and sinks it. The Americans escort Red October safely into dry dock in Norfolk, Virginia, where Ramius and his crew are taken to a CIA safehouse to begin their Americanization. Ryan is commended by his superiors and flies back to his posting in London. Question: Why does the Soviet Northern Fleet claim to be following the Red October? Answer:

A search and rescue mission.

(CNN) -- The latest chapter in British retail has grocery giant Tesco betting on e-books: it's buying Mobcast, a company that brings books to wireless devices. The deal, worth about $7.15 million (£4.5 million), is small for Tesco, which is one of the biggest food retailers in the world. But it's still significant: it marks the next page in Britain's digital transformation. When he co-founded Mobcast five years ago, Tony Lynch, the company's CEO, says books weren't represented on wireless devices beyond offerings from online retailer Amazon.com. "It was a very valuable hole in the market," he says. Now, with Mobcast's more than 100,000 titles and counting, Tesco will allow consumers to buy and read books on an array of devices, from smartphones to e-readers. And it also marks another avenue for the retailer to find out more about its customers - information Tesco can use to fine tune its targeted ads and, ultimately, sell more products. "Arguably, Tesco has the best data in the world on its customers," says Michael Comish, CEO of Tesco Digital Entertainment. He points to a robust retail loyalty program that helps the company keep track of customers' shopping habits. "They (Tesco) have extensive data about purchase behavior and information about the customers." Experts say that expanding its digital portfolio will allow Tesco to enhance that consumer data for years to come. "Getting into the electronic purchase cycle of a family, whether it's for books or something else, gets you in much more regular touch with them than if they were just buying a physical product," says Sree Sreenivasan, Chief Digital Officer of Columbia University. "This makes sense to have a whole digital portfolio." Comish came to Tesco by way of Blinkbox, another digital player in the Tesco empire. The retailer bought the video-on-demand provider last year. "Part of Tesco's strategy is to acquire talent," he says. Tesco also bought the Internet radio service radio service WE7 earlier this year. Summarize this article.

Question: Jenson and Kingsley have a tailoring business. Jenson makes 3 shirts, and Kingsley makes 5 pairs of pants per day. If each shirt uses 2 yards of fabric and a pair of pants uses 5 yards of fabric, how many yards of fabric do they need every 3 days? Answer:

Jenson uses 2 x 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 yards of fabric for making shirts every day. Kingsley uses 5 x 5 = <<5*5=25>>25 yards of fabric every day for making pair of pants. So, the total yards of fabric they use per day is 25 + 6 = <<25+6=31>>31 Therefore, the total yards of fabric they use every 3 days is 31 x 3 = <<31*3=93>>93. The answer is 93.

Passage: The novel is set in the early years of the 19th century. Silas Marner, a weaver, is a member of a small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a slum street in an unnamed city in Northern England. He is falsely accused of stealing the congregation's funds while watching over the very ill deacon. Two clues are given against Silas: a pocket knife, and the discovery in his own house of the bag formerly containing the money. There is the strong suggestion that Silas' best friend, William Dane, has framed him, since Silas had lent his pocket knife to William shortly before the crime was committed. Silas is proclaimed guilty. The woman Silas was to marry breaks their engagement and later marries William. With his life shattered and his heart broken, Silas leaves Lantern Yard and the city. Marner travels south to the Midlands and settles near the rural village of Raveloe, where he lives alone, choosing to have only minimal contact with the residents. He comes to adore the gold he earns and hoards from his weaving. The gold is stolen by Dunstan ("Dunsey") Cass, a dissolute younger son of Squire Cass, the town's leading landowner. Silas sinks into a deep gloom, despite the villagers' attempts to aid him. Dunsey disappears, but little is made of this not unusual behaviour, and no association is made between him and the theft. Godfrey Cass, Dunsey's elder brother, also harbours a secret. He is married to, but estranged from, Molly Farren, an opium-addicted woman of low birth living in another town. This secret prevents Godfrey from marrying Nancy Lammeter, a young woman of high social and moral standing. On a winter's night, Molly tries to make her way to Squire Cass's New Year's Eve party with her two-year-old girl to announce that she is Godfrey's wife and ruin him. On the way, she takes opium and lies down in the snow. The child wanders away and into Silas' house. Silas follows her tracks in the snow and discovers the woman dead. When he goes to the party for help, Godfrey heads to the scene, but resolves to tell no one that Molly was his wife. Molly's death conveniently puts an end to the marriage. Silas keeps the child and names her Eppie, after his deceased mother and sister, both named Hephzibah. Eppie changes Silas' life completely. Silas has been robbed of his material gold, but has it returned to him symbolically in the form of the golden-haired child. Godfrey Cass is now free to marry Nancy, but continues to conceal the fact of his previous marriage—and child—from her. However, he aids Marner in caring for Eppie with occasional financial gifts. More practical help and support in bringing up the child is provided by Dolly Winthrop, a kindly neighbour of Marner's. Dolly's help and advice assist Marner not only in bringing up Eppie, but also in integrating her into village society. Sixteen years pass, and Eppie grows up to be the pride of the village. She has a strong bond with Silas, who through her has found a place in the rural society and a purpose in life. Meanwhile, Godfrey and Nancy mourn their own childless state. Eventually, the skeleton of Dunstan Cass—still clutching Silas' gold—is found at the bottom of the stone quarry near Silas' home, and the money is duly returned to Silas. Shocked by this revelation, and coming to the realisation of his own conscience, Godfrey confesses to Nancy that Molly was his first wife and that Eppie is his child. They offer to raise her as a gentleman's daughter, but this would mean Eppie would have to forsake Silas. Eppie politely refuses, saying, "I can't think o' no happiness without him." Silas revisits Lantern Yard, but his old neighbourhood has been "swept away" and replaced by a large factory. No one seems to know what happened to Lantern Yard's inhabitants. However, Silas contentedly resigns himself to the fact that he now leads a happier existence among his family and friends. In the end, Eppie marries a local boy, Dolly's son Aaron. Aaron and Eppie move into Silas' new house, courtesy of Godfrey. Silas' actions through the years in caring for Eppie have provided joy for everyone, and the extended family celebrates its happiness. Question: Silas was accused of what crime? Answer:

Stealing the funds from the church while attending a sick deacon.

Jen scored 20 + 10 = <<20+10=30>>30 on the exam. Sammy scored two less, so his score was30 - 2 = <<30-2=28>>28. Thus, Sammy made 35 - 28 = <<35-28=7>>7 mistakes. The answer is 7.

By . Shona Sibary . PUBLISHED: . 19:33 EST, 4 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 03:05 EST, 5 March 2013 . Still active: The Duchess of Cambridge did not let her pregnancy slow her down when she went sledging in Switzerland . Halfway down a black run, high above the French resort of Val d’Isere, I stop to consider my options. This is, after all, no ordinary black run. It is La Face — the men’s 2009 Olympic downhill course — and the next bit of it, the one I am about to attempt to ski, is so steep, so sheer, it is terrifying. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t hesitate. But I am four months pregnant and — standing there on the lip of this heart-stopping vertical drop — I pay a momentary thought to my growing baby, obliviously cocooned in my womb, and have a sudden wobble of conscience. So do I take the sensible route, remove my skis and call for help? Not on your life. Call me reckless, but what I do instead is take a deep breath and go for it — all the way to the bottom, where I head to the nearest bar for a brandy to steady my nerves. Even today, that memory does make me cringe a little. But the baby I was carrying is now a healthy, thrill-seeking 12-year-old girl who seems hell-bent on pushing her own boundaries of fear at every turn. No surprises there. Of course, I wasn’t carrying a future heir to the throne like the Duchess of Cambridge, nor was this my first baby — both understandable reasons for Kate to play it safe last weekend when, on the slopes of the luxury Arosa resort in Switzerland, she decided to give skiing with the rest of the royal party a miss. She was there — along with Princes William and Harry — for the wedding of polo player Mark Tomlinson and Olympic dressage champion Laura Bechtolsheimer. And while everyone else headed straight for the slopes, the Duchess — herself a keen skier — chose to opt for the ‘safer’ pursuit of an afternoon’s sledging instead. But her choice of recreation still . attracted criticism. One onlooker said: ‘She tucked her legs up and just . went. I thought it was very brave for a pregnant woman because it was . on quite an incline.’ Snow baby: The Duchess enjoyed walks around the luxury ski resort of Arosa while The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry went skiing . Almost as soon as the pictures of the Duchess, sledge in hand, were published, the reaction was instant. People damned her for being cavalier with her safety and that of her unborn baby. Sledging, as anyone who’s ever done it will know, can be a bit hair-raising. After all, nearly everyone falls off. You can see why more cautious types would steer well clear — especially when pregnant. After my skiing exploits, though, sledging sounds pretty tame to me. But, of course, the pregnancy police would probably much prefer that the Duchess had stayed inside, rug over knees, with a hot chocolate and had no fun at all. But, as I know from four pregnancies, there is little point in wrapping yourself in cotton wool for nine months. It just makes the whole, drawn-out process of being pregnant even more boring than it already is. Indeed, not only did I ski while carrying all of my babies (although I did, eventually, steer clear of black runs), I also cycled, ice-skated, roller-bladed, went on a 42ft-high zip wire across a lake, jet-skied, jogged, flew across the world and — shock horror — rode on the back of a motorbike. It may sound as if I specifically hunted out hedonistic pursuits in a bid to liven up being pregnant. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. I just refused to put my life on hold and morph into one of those dreadful expectant mothers who have to let the world know they are carrying precious cargo, placing stickers on their car saying things like: ‘Mum-to-be woman on board.’ I’m not alone, either. When she was five months pregnant, marathon champion Paula Radcliffe admitted running 14 miles a day in training. Which just goes to show that women need not — and in most cases should not — take pregnancy sitting down. On the contrary, the benefit of exercise is undisputed. It not only makes for an easier labour and delivery, but can also help prevent excessive weight gain, which reduces the risk of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure) which is a leading cause of illness and death in mothers and babies. Of course, there’s a big difference between staying healthy through pregnancy and putting yourself and your unborn foetus in unnecessary danger. But where do you draw the line? A survey for the baby charity Tommy’s and healthcare company Johnson’s Baby found that 45 per cent of expectant women have been left confused by conflicting information they have received about pregnancy. Baby bump: Catherine with her bump clearly on display as she talked to Prince Harry at the wedding of Laura Bechtolsheimer and polo player Luke Tomlinson in Arosa . There are virtually as many opinions on what’s safe in pregnancy as there are people to give them. I admit I probably pushed the boundaries more than most when pregnant with Flo, 14, Annie, 12, Monty, ten, and Dolly, three. Certainly, that moment at the top of the mountain is probably pretty exceptional for a pregnant woman. But something my mother said to me early in my first pregnancy has stuck with me ever since. Future parents: Prince William with the Duchess of Cambridge on their holiday to Switzerland before the arrival of their baby in the summer . ‘Don’t treat growing a baby like an illness,’ she advised. ‘Just get on with your life as normal. It’s a far healthier approach.’ And she was right. On that basis, I drank a glass or two of wine every night once morning sickness had worn off. My GP even told me that Pinot Grigio was better for the foetus than me being stressed, which seemed to make perfectly good sense to me. On holiday, I ignored recommendations that pregnant women should not eat raw shellfish, soft cheeses and pate — because of the risk of harmful bacteria, and food poisoning such as listeria — and indulged in prawns, cheese platters and even, on one occasion, foie gras. I didn’t do that again — not because it made me ill, but it gave me terrible heartburn. Not only did I have happier pregnancies because of this relaxed, non-neurotic approach — but I also believe it set the pattern for my entire attitude towards motherhood afterwards. My body may have been hijacked by a being that hadn’t even entered the world yet, but — from the moment of conception — I flatly refused to have my personality hijacked, too. And that didn’t change once they were born. Today, I have four healthy, thriving children — despite my adrenaline-fuelled, Brie-consuming pregnancies. But I’m still recognisably ‘me’, too, and hopefully that will never be compromised. I sincerely hope the Duchess of Cambridge continues to enjoy a trouble-free pregnancy. But I also hope she doesn’t get so bogged down with worry that she forgets how to enjoy herself. My advice would be to ignore the pregnancy police and do what feels right. And if that means whizzing down a hill on a wooden toboggan — or even skiing — then she should go for it and enjoy every moment. I’m sure the newest heir to the throne would understand. After all, who wants a boring mother? Summarize this article.

The Duchess of Cambridge was criticised for being too active on holiday . Our writer insists it is beneficial to keep on exercising through pregnancy .

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two weeks after losing his bid for the presidency in an electoral landslide, Sen. John McCain is beginning the thorny transition back to life out of the spotlight as he weighs his future role in the Senate. Sen. John McCain is looking forward to returning to the Senate full time, aides say. Aides say McCain is looking forward to returning to the chamber full-time after a nearly two-year hiatus. But the road from Republican Party standard-bearer to merely one of a hundred senators can be a bumpy one, political observers say, especially since the Arizona senator is without a leadership position as his party faces its slimmest minority in the chamber in nearly three decades. McCain's return to a lower profile is made more precarious by the fact that he has to grapple with a stinging public rejection and ongoing criticism from some Republicans who say his campaign was mismanaged. Other Republicans have said it was downright incompetent. Watch: What's next for the GOP? » . "When a campaign is over, there is this grieving process that everyone on the staff goes through, but the loss is so much more personal and public for the candidate. It's public repudiation and this death of your dream," said Carol Darr, a veteran of several Democratic presidential campaigns and an adjunct lecturer at George Washington's Graduate School of Political Management. But political observers and former McCain aides say the Arizona senator will resist retreating into the wilderness, as some presidential losers have, and is instead likely to seek an active role in the Senate when the new term kicks off in January. In that sense, he is likely to follow the lead of fellow Sen. John Kerry, a Democrat who after his narrow defeat in 2004 returned to the chamber energized and determined to remain a key player on Capitol Hill. Known for his ability to reach across the aisle, McCain could position himself as a powerful ally of the Obama administration while championing causes he's always held dear, including earmark reform, climate change issues and immigration reform. "John McCain's days as a presidential candidate are over, and his chance now to leave a lasting impression in public life going forward probably involves working with the man who beat him for the presidency: Barack Obama," Time magazine's Mark Halperin said. The Obama administration is likely to reach out to McCain on key issues on which it hopes to forge a consensus, though with a nearly filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the future commander in chief may have little need to do so. Still, the former Illinois senator won the White House largely on a promise to transition away from partisan politics, and he may see McCain as the ultimate conduit through which to do that. "You could have a McCain as a centrist who plays the role of consensus-builder on a lot of issues," said Senate historian Donald Ritchie, who's seen several senators return to the chamber after failed White House bids. But it's unclear just how much political capital McCain has left in Washington, given the extent of his defeat and the GOP's desire to chart a new course, and McCain may find it difficult to corral his Republican colleagues on a set of issues important to him or ones being pushed by the Obama administration. That fact was made exceedingly clear in late September when McCain's active support of the economic bailout package failed to rally a significant number of Republican lawmakers. House Republicans' defeat of the bill in the first vote appeared to be a sharp rejection of the party's presidential hopeful, who had only days earlier suspended his campaign with the intention of shepherding the measure through Congress. "He doesn't have any weight in the House Republican caucus and very few supporters," said Jeremy Mayer, an associate professor at George Mason University's School of Public Policy. "In the Senate, he has some friends like [South Carolina Sen.] Lindsey Graham, but [minority leader Mitch] McConnell has never liked the guy, and he's never been successful at leading his own caucus." McCain's standing in the party could further decrease if the Republican senator reverts to his tendency to buck the GOP establishment and speak his mind when he disagrees with the leadership. It's a pattern that has given McCain his maverick reputation but one that has often made him more of an ally to Democrats than his own party. But as he campaigned for the presidency, McCain found himself courting conservatives he used to criticize and serving up Republican red-meat speeches he used to avoid, in the process facing criticism from a host of former allies in the Democratic Party that the once independent-minded senator had changed his stripes. Now free of the demands required to win the GOP nomination, McCain may have an eye toward regaining his popularity among independents and burnishing his legacy as a straight-talker untethered to strict party orthodoxy. "His reputation has been impaired. ... It took a beating," Mayer said. "He may want to go back to the old straight-talk John McCain with no filters. And he'll stop feeding red-meat populist conservative sound bites, because he doesn't have to." Summarize this article.

John McCain likely to seek an active role in Senate, former aides say . McCain could position himself as a powerful ally of the Obama administration . Republicans face slimmest minority in Senate in nearly three decades . It's unclear just how much political capital McCain has left in Washington .

Question: James gets 3 parking tickets. The first 2 cost $150 each and the third cost 1/3 as much as one of these. His roommate agrees to pay half the cost. How much money does he have left if he had $500 in the bank? Answer:

The third ticket cost $150/3=$<<150/3=50>>50 So the tickets cost $150*2+$50=$<<150*2+50=350>>350 That means he paid $350/2=$<<350/2=175>>175 So he had $500 - $175 = $<<500-175=325>>325 left over The answer is 325.

Passage: Approximately 30 years after the destruction of the second Death Star, the last remaining Jedi, Luke Skywalker, has disappeared. The First Order has risen from the fallen Galactic Empire and seeks to eliminate the New Republic. The Resistance, backed by the Republic and led by Luke's twin sister, General Leia Organa, opposes them while searching for Luke to enlist his aid. Resistance pilot Poe Dameron meets village elder Lor San Tekka on the planet Jakku to obtain a map to Luke's location. Stormtroopers commanded by Kylo Ren destroy the village and capture Poe, while Ren kills Tekka. Poe's droid, BB-8 escapes with the map, and encounters a scavenger named Rey near a junkyard settlement. Ren tortures Poe using the Force, and learns of BB-8. Stormtrooper FN-2187, unable to bring himself to kill for the First Order, frees Poe, and they escape in a stolen TIE fighter; Poe dubs FN-2187 "Finn". They crash on Jakku, and Finn survives, but is unable to determine if Poe did as well. He encounters Rey and BB-8, but the First Order tracks them and launches an airstrike. Finn, Rey, and BB-8 flee the planet in the Millennium Falcon, which they steal from a junkyard. After breaking down, the Falcon is caught in a tractor beam and captured by a larger ship piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca, looking to reclaim their former vessel. Two rival gangs, seeking to settle debts with Han, board and attack, but Han and his allies flee in the Falcon. The gangs inform the First Order of the events. At the First Order's Starkiller Base – a planet converted into a superweapon that harnesses energy from stars – Supreme Leader Snoke orders General Hux to use the weapon for the first time. Snoke questions Ren's ability to deal with emotions relating to his father, Han Solo; Ren says Solo means nothing to him. The Falcon crew views BB-8's map and determines it is incomplete. Han explains that Luke attempted to rebuild the Jedi Order, but exiled himself when an apprentice turned to the dark side and slaughtered the rising Order. The crew travels to the planet Takodana and meets with cantina owner Maz Kanata, who offers assistance in getting BB-8 to the Resistance. Rey is drawn to a vault on the lower level and finds the lightsaber that once belonged to Luke and his father, Anakin Skywalker. She experiences disturbing visions and flees into the woods. Maz gives Finn the lightsaber for safekeeping. Starkiller Base fires and destroys the Republic capital and a portion of its fleet. The First Order attacks Takodana in search of BB-8. Han, Chewbacca, and Finn are saved by Resistance X-wing fighters led by Poe, who survived the earlier crash. Leia arrives at Takodana with C-3PO and reunites with Han and Chewbacca. Meanwhile, Ren captures Rey and takes her to Starkiller Base. However, when he interrogates her about the map, she is able to resist his mind-reading attempts. Discovering she can use the Force, she escapes using a Jedi mind trick on a nearby guard. At the Resistance base on D'Qar, BB-8 finds R2-D2, who has been inactive since Luke's disappearance. As Starkiller Base prepares to fire on D'Qar, the Resistance devises a plan to destroy the superweapon by attacking a critical facility. Leia urges Han to return their son alive. Using the Falcon, Han, Chewbacca, and Finn infiltrate the facility, find Rey, and plant explosives. Han confronts Ren, calling him by his birth name, Ben, and implores him to abandon the dark side. Ren refuses and kills his father, enraging Chewbacca, who fires and hits Ren. He sets off the explosives, allowing the Resistance to attack and destroy Starkiller Base. The injured Ren pursues Finn and Rey to the surface. A lightsaber battle between Ren and Finn ensues, leaving Finn badly wounded. Rey takes the lightsaber and uses the Force to defeat Ren, before they are separated by a fissure as the planet begins to disintegrate and implode. Snoke orders Hux to evacuate and bring Ren to him. Rey and Chewbacca escape with Finn in the Falcon. On D'Qar, the Resistance celebrates while Leia, Chewbacca, and Rey mourn Han's death. R2-D2 awakens and reveals the rest of the map, which Rey follows to the aquatic planet Ahch-To. She finds Luke and presents him with the lightsaber. Question: Who severely injures Finn in a lightsaber battle? Answer:

Ren
