Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour Brought to you by traction If you're freaking out

00:08

about not having enough of it you really just need

00:11

to get a grip Your passage and i saw his

00:14

curiosity money drummer Come on get to the other side

00:18

amount Charming curiosity veracity All right Which choice provides the

00:26

best evidence for the answer to the previous question huh

00:31

And here the potential answers All right Well it's a

00:33

bunch of lines here Alright a two parter here's hoping

00:36

the sequel lives up to the original We're looking to

00:39

speak to cruise control All right so what was the

00:41

original Well let's get ourselves a refresher Oh right So

00:46

we were trying to figure out what type of terrain

00:48

the curiosity handles best And we determined that rocky ground

00:52

was the correct answer Apparently the curiosity is not much

00:56

of an ice skater Now our mission if we choose

00:58

to accept it is to find the lines from the

01:00

passage that best support That finding shouldn't be too much

01:04

of a head scratcher So let's look over the answer

01:06

choices and see what they have to offer Right option

01:08

Eight points as tow lines three through for the drive

01:11

of about seventy two feet up slopes as steep as

01:14

twenty one degrees broad curiosity close to a target area

01:17

where two distinctive types of bedrock meat all right well

01:20

the word rock is in there that's a good sign

01:23

Unfortunately while it tells us that the curiosity did in

01:25

fact hangout in iraqi area it doesn't really tell us

01:28

how it did So Not much evidence here to support

01:31

the idea that it's at home on a rocky road

01:34

But what about b lines Four to six there over

01:37

science team wants to examine an outcrop that contains the

01:41

contact between the pale rock unit the mission analyzed lower

01:45

on mount sharp and a darker bedded rock unit that

01:48

the mission has not yet examined up close All right

01:51

well yeah same issue We're really only told what the

01:54

science team wants Well great but we're not santa claus

01:57

or the science teams Uncle charlie who always comes bearing

02:00

gifts What they want is irrelevant We're still looking for

02:03

a part of the passengers that backs up our assertion

02:06

Well see suggests line eleven twelve We knew that polly

02:09

Donald sand ripples have caused curiosity A lot of drive

02:13

slip in the past Got it sand ripples that but

02:17

knowing where the curiosity has trouble isn't going to get

02:20

us anywhere So we'll slip right past this one And

02:23

ah here it is Option dealings twelve to fourteen but

02:26

there appeared to be terrain with rocky or more consolidated

02:28

characteristics directly adjacent to these ripples So we drove around

02:32

the sand ripples onto what we expected to be firmer

02:34

terrain that would give curiosity better traction Well we've got

02:38

a mention of the rocky terrain and we're told that

02:41

gives the curiosity better traction It couldn't spell it out

02:44

any clearer option d it is okay so speed too

02:47

might have been a disappointment but we think we're already 00:02:50.33 --> [endTime] for speed Three runaway wheelchair Yeah hey
