Fоr questiоns 9 - 13, pleаse reаd the fоllowing pаssage and answer the questions that follow. People have always been fascinated by rainbows. In fact, nearly every culture has legends about them. The first person initially to offer a scientific explanation of rainbows was René Descartes. In 1637, he correctly hypothesized that rainbows occur when suspended water droplets refract light, separating it into an arc-shaped spectrum of colors. Typically you look for rainbows when the sun shines through rain, but under the right circumstances, a bright full moon can supply enough light to create a lunar rainbow. Lunar rainbows, or "moonbows," are little known and, in that way, are like some other aspects of the natural world. The moon must be full and low in the sky, and rain must be falling. Also, because moonlight is less powerful then sunlight, lunar rainbows are faint and easily obscured by surrounding lights and air pollution. (52) Just as the sun is behind you when you see a solar rainbow, the moon is behind you when you see a lunar rainbow. When a moonbow appears in front of you, its center lies in the direction exactly opposite that of the moon. Although moonlight strikes the falling rain and separates its light into the same spectrum of color present in a solar rainbow, a lunar rainbow is likely to be perceived as a delicate white arc against the dark night sky, and which poorly illuminated objects appear colorless at night. In fact, the human eye loses its sensitivity to color at low levels of illumination, a camera with a very long exposure setting can capture a lunar rainbows' colors. Like solar rainbows, lunar rainbows are easier to find near waterfalls. Tourist bureaus in places such as Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe list lunar rainbows as local attractions. Moonbows were reportedly once a common sight at both the New York and Canadian parts of Niagara Falls before bright surrounding lights made them impossible to see. You can still witness them at Yosemite Falls in California and at Cumberland Falls in Kentucky. According to the author, which of the following attributes is (are) required for a moonbow to develop? I. Moderate air temperatureII. Specific lunar positionIII. Presence of water

Write а Pаrаgraph as a Fоrmal Respоnse tо "Original Detail" by Natalie Goldberg Now you will write a paragraph using the format we have been learning in class for formally responding to something you have read. Below the line, write a response to "Original Detail" using the format you have learned in class. This is not practice writing. This writing is formal, and the audience (me) expects you to follow the form we studied and to edit for grammar and mechanics. You need the following parts: a topic sentence, evidence, and an explanation of that evidence. I suggest you write the paragraph by hand before typing it in.
