And yet, Linenger recovered quickly. in fact, almost two dozen astronauts have lived in space for more than six months, and four have stayed in orbit for more than a year. These men and women faced the discomfort of weightlessness and overcame them and they all readapted to earth's gravity without problems, providing that voyages to mars are possible... Even if it feels like you are hanging upside down the whole time!

WARNING: I am waiting for results, I don't know if these are right!
1. The topic sentence of this paragraph is (C) "These men and women faced the discomfort of weightlessness and overcame them and they all readapted to earth's gravity without problems, providing that voyages to mars are possible... Even if it feels like you are hanging upside down the whole time!" This sentence introduces the main idea of the paragraph, which is the ability of astronauts to readapt to Earth's gravity after spending time in space.
2. The statement that explains why "Life Without Gravity" is an expository essay is (B) "It is a short work of nonfiction that explains a set of processes." Expository essays are intended to inform and explain a specific topic or set of processes, and "Life Without Gravity" fits this description by explaining the effects of weightlessness on astronauts and the challenges they face.
3. Two advantages of weightlessness mentioned in "Life Without Gravity" are experimentation and the potential for long-duration space travel. In weightlessness, scientists can conduct experiments in a unique environment that can lead to new discoveries. Additionally, weightlessness may make it possible for humans to undertake long-duration space missions, such as voyages to Mars. Two disadvantages mentioned are the discomforts of living in a weightless environment, such as muscle and bone degeneration, and the challenges of readapting to Earth's gravity after spending time in space. As an AI, I don't have personal opinions, so I can't answer the last part of the question.
4. The verb used as an action verb is (C) "The lion smelled the steak."
5. The sentence that includes a linking verb is (B) "She seems worried." The linking verb "seems" connects the subject "she" to the adjective "worried."
6. The linking verb to complete the sentence is (C) "became." Therefore, the sentence would be: "Gemma became the first female winner of the annual poetry contest."
7. The word most similar to "feeble" is (A) "delicate." Feeble and delicate both convey a sense of weakness or fragility.
8. The word "globules" helps understand situation (B) "how weightlessness affects liquids." Globules are small spherical drops or particles, and their behavior in weightlessness can give insights into how liquids behave in space.
9. The sentence in which the word "manned" is used correctly is (C) "There have been manned missions to space for more than 60 years." In this sentence, "manned" is used to refer to missions that have been crewed by humans.
10. I apologize, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to specific books or their contents, including "Geeks" by Jon Katz. I'm unable to provide an example or overview of the book based on personal experience or evidence from the text.
