Astronauts are learned, taught to survive in space.

I think learned?
?

No. The verb is TAUGHT.

I'm creating an intro for an essay with an assigned topic. My teacher marked what I wrote and said 'Too similar to your assigned thesis' and they also wrote 'your thesis must not be altered from what was assigned. What do I do?

It seems like you have a question about whether the correct word to use is "learned" or "taught" when talking about astronauts and their training. Both words can be used in this context, but there is a subtle difference in their meanings.

The word "learned" is typically used as an adjective to describe someone who has acquired knowledge or skills through study or experience. So, if you say "Astronauts are learned," it suggests that they have gained knowledge or expertise in some specific area related to space.

On the other hand, the word "taught" is the past participle form of the verb "teach." When you use "taught" in the context of astronauts, it implies that they have been instructed or trained by others with the specific goal of preparing them for survival in space.

If you want to convey the idea that astronauts have been given specific training to survive in space, you could say something like: "Astronauts are taught to survive in space." This emphasizes the fact that they have received specialized instruction and guidance in order to develop the necessary skills and knowledge for space travel.

In summary, both "learned" and "taught" can be used, but "taught" may be a more appropriate word to describe the astronaut training process.
