Question

there are antennas and there are \antennas.\ satellite dishes installed on individual homes track television signals sent from satellites that are orbiting earth. these satellites are in the sky about 22,000 miles from earth. each satellite revolves around earth once every 24 hours, the same speed that earth turns. actually, the satellite keeps pace with earth. that is why a satellite dish placed on a home needs to be aimed only one time toward the satellite sending the signal. that is also why the dish is relatively small in size. the farther away the transmitting satellite, the larger the antenna that picks up the signal must be. if the satellite sending the signal were placed on the moon, the dish receiving the signal would have to be the size of a two - story building. in the passage, the author expresses feelings of: impatience for future scientific advances, skepticism for scientific claims, calm acceptance of scientific facts, respect for scientific progress.

Explanation:

The passage objectively presents scientific facts about satellite - Earth communication, such as satellite distance from Earth, rotation speed, and the relationship between satellite distance and dish size. There is no sign of impatience, skepticism, or a particular emphasis on respect for scientific progress. It simply states scientific facts in a calm manner.

Answer:

calm acceptance of scientific facts.
