Question:
Manhattan seems to sprout shiny new skyscrapers as easily as a garden grows weeds, but despite the modern appearance of the concrete jungle at the heart of New York City, every engineer knows that before breaking ground, they need to step back in time, with the help of Viele's map.
In 1865, Egbert Viele, a civil engineer and Civil War veteran who surveyed the land for Central Park and later served in Congress, published a map that is still crucial almost 160 years later. His map showed all the original marshes and waterways of Manhattan. Even today, engineers rely on his work to determine soil conditions and any underground water that still flows through a building site, potentially undermining foundations.
Which of the following pieces of evidence from the text supports the conclusion that Viele's work had an impact on the development of Manhattan island?
Residents of Manhattan Island find it easy to grow gardens due to the well-established water map.
Builders must analyze potential sites for stability, which affects the building type and zoning options.
Viele proposed that structures be made with locally made concrete mixed with water sources on the island.
Central Park continues to flood, which Viele set out to prevent with his map.
Which of the following additional resources would validate the information given in Viele's map?
A map of the wetlands on Manhattan Island used to observe migratory birds
A map of the New York City transit system
A map showing population density of New York City by borough in 1865 and 1965
A map of Civil War battle sites in and around Manhattan
A consumer is preparing to bolt a dresser to the wall. Identify the sequence of steps the consumer should follow. (Move the options into the box on the right, placing them in the selected order. Use all the options.)
Next, move the dresser to access the wall
Prior to drilling, return the dresser to the wall and remove the top drawer
Locate a stud within the wall and mark its location with a pencil
To prepare, determine that all necessary parts are accounted for and in good condition
Finally, secure a bolt through the pilot hole in the dresser and into the wall stud.
Then, drill a pilot hole through the back of the dresser and into the stud
