Sweden is launching its biggest military drill in 23 years on Monday, in one of the greatest displays of its own defense capabilities since the end of the Cold War.

The historic military exercise in one of Europe's last neutral states will include the U.S. and some of its NATO allies, and comes at the same time Russia flexes its own muscles in a controversial drill nearby.

The Scandinavian state and its eastern neighbor Finland have endured an uncomfortable few years as tensions in their neighborhood, between the West and Russia, have intensified exponentially.

Aurora 2017, a three-week exercise drafting 20,000 troops into a scenario in which Sweden is under attack by a foreign military, coincides with Russia and Belarus's own war game, held just on the other side of Europe's Baltic Sea. The drill will have almost half the Swedish armed forces "on the move," according to its organizing officer.

Despite Sweden's decision to stay out of military alliances such as NATO, the Aurora 2017 drill will involve 1,000 U.S. troops, which was a "statement of intent" in itself, Sweden's Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist told the _Financial Times_ on Friday. The exercise is a sign of renewed concern in Stockholm about the country's security situation; however, Hultqvist also said U.S. involvement was informed by the European nation's belief that there is "a need for U.S. presence in this region."

"It's about handling the realities of the security situation in our part of Europe," said Hultqvist. "It's an important signal to the Swedish population, and also to other countries and partners, that we take this security situation seriously."

Since Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and backed separatists in Ukraine's east in 2014, the U.S. and NATO's relationship with Moscow has deteriorated to a post–Cold War low. The Baltic Sea has been the scene of several interceptions of Russian jets by NATO members in 2017—Europe's northern sea is bordered by Russia and some of its biggest critics in NATO members Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland. Neutral Sweden and Finland sit between these diverging parties, and debate over their potentially joining NATO has reopened.

Earlier this summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued one of several warnings to Sweden, saying that Russia's military would change its view and strategy toward Sweden were it to join NATO.

As Russian air force forays near NATO allies have increased, Finland and Sweden have often had to intercept the same Russian jets that NATO tails. As recently as 2013, a flyover of bombers from Russia was so rapid that Swedish pilots were unable to respond to the strange maneuvers on the eastern edge of the Stockholm archipelago that local media outlets said resembled a large-scale bombing over Sweden.

Danish NATO jets scrambled to identify and escort the Russian detachment, stirring mass ridicule of the Swedish government at home. Since then, Sweden's ruling party has changed, as has Europe's security situation.

Hultqvist, a Social Democrat, told the _Financial Times_, "We criticized this at the time, but now we have an organization and a level of preparedness so it won't happen again." In its strategic shift, Sweden began deploying forces in its eastern Gotland region in 2015 for the first time in a decade. That is where U.S. marines, troops and helicopters will be based, and they will not be the only participants from NATO. Personnel from NATO members Denmark, Estonia, France, Lithuania and Norway will also take part, as will forces from neighboring Finland.

The scenario of the drill will envisage attacks on both Gotland and Stockholm, finishing with an assault south of Sweden's main city, according to exercise director Major General Bengt Andersson. The drill will be mainly kinetic, without cyber-defense elements, Andersson said.

"This is the first time—we don't want to make it too difficult," he added. Sweden won't be waiting another 23 years for a similar simulation—the military plans another big exercise in 2020.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why has the US and NATO's relationship with Russia been deteriorating?

answer: The deterioration in the relationship between the US and NATO and Russia is largely due to Russia's annexation of Crimea and support of separatists in Ukraine. These actions have led to heightened tensions among all parties involved, causing concern in Sweden about its own security.

answer: They have been grappling with intervening to Ukraine to secure its frontiers. They have also been adopting kinetic (combat) scenarios as well as cyber-defense.

[ESPI fringes – flat plate rotated about a vertical axis – the fringes represents displacement in the viewing direction; the difference in displacement between fringes is about 0.3μm.]ELECTRONIC SPECKLE PATTERN INTERFEROMETRY (ESPI),[1] also known as TV HOLOGRAPHY, is a technique which uses laser light, together with video detection, recording and processing to visualise static and dynamic displacements of components with optically rough surfaces. The visualisation is in the form of fringes on the image where each fringe normally represents a displacement of half a wavelength of the light used (i.e. quarter of a micrometre or so).

ESPI can be used for stress and strain measurement, vibration mode analysis and nondestructive testing.[2] ESPI is similar to holographic interferometry in many ways, but there are also significant differences[3] between the two techniques.

How it works

The component under investigation must have an optically rough surface so that when it is illuminated by an expanded laser beam, the image formed is a subjective speckle pattern. The light arriving at a point in the speckled image is scattered from a finite area of the object, and its phase, amplitude and intensity, which are all random, are directly related to the microstructure of that area in the object.

A second light field, known as the reference beam, is derived from the same laser beam and is superimposed on the video camera image (different configurations enable different measurements to be made). The two light fields interfere and the resulting light field has random amplitude, phase and intensity, and is therefore also a speckle pattern. If the object is displaced or deformed, the distance between object and image will change, and hence the phase of the image speckle pattern will change. The relative phases of reference and object beam change, and therefore the intensities of the combined light field changes. However, if the phase change of the object light field is a multiple of 2π, the relative phases of the two light fields will be unchanged, and the intensity of the overall image will also be unchanged.

To visualize this effect, the image and reference beams are combined on a video camera and recorded. When the object has been displaced/deformed, the new image is subtracted point by point from the first image. The resulting image is a speckle pattern with black 'fringes' representing contours of constant 2nπ.

Configurations

Out-of-plane displacement measurement

[Optical arrangement to obtain out-of-plane ESPI fringes]The reference beam is an expanded beam derived from the laser beam, and is added to the image of the object which is formed on the video camera.

The amplitude of the light at any point in the image is the sum of the light from the object (object beam) and the second beam (reference beam). If the object moves in the direction of viewing, the distance travelled by the object beam changes, its phase changes, and therefore the amplitude of the combined beams changes. When the second speckle pattern is subtracted from the first, fringes are obtained which represent contours of displacement along the viewing direction (out-of-plane displacement). These are not interference fringes, and are sometimes referred to as 'correlation' fringes since they map out areas of the speckle pattern which are more or less correlated. Strictly speaking, the fringes represent purely out-of-plane displacement only if the surface is illuminated normally (this requires a beam splitter to be used to illuminate the object), but the dependence on in-plane movement is relatively small unless the object illumination is well away from the normal direction.

The fringes in the image above are out-of-plane fringes. The plate has been rotated about a vertical axis and the fringes represent contours of constant displacement. The contour interval is about 0.3μm since a He-Ne laser was used in the system. As with many interferometric techniques, it is not possible to identify the zero-order fringe without additional information from the system. That means a rigid body motion of a half wavelength (0.3μm) towards the camera does not change the fringe pattern.

Holographic interferometry provides the same information as out-of-plane ESPI fringes.

Out-of-plane vibration measurement

[ESPI fringes showing one of the vibration modes of a clamped square plate] The optical arrangement is the same as for out-of-plane displacement above. The object is vibrated at a specific frequency. Those parts of the object which do not move will continue to be speckled. It can be shown that parts of the object which vibrate with amplitudes of nλ/4 have higher speckle contrast than those parts which vibrate at (n+½)λ/4.

This system is simpler to operate than either of the displacement measuring systems, as the fringes are obtained without any recording being required. The vibration mode can be observed in the image from the camera as a variation in speckle contrast rather than as a variation in intensity but it is quite difficult to discern. When the image is high-pass filtered, the variation in contrast is converted to a variation in intensity, and a fringe pattern of the form shown in the diagram is observed where the fringes are clearly visible.

Holographic interferometry can be used in the same way to map out vibration modes.

[Optical arrangement for viewing in-plane displacement sensitive fringes]

In-plane measurement

The object is illuminated by two beams derived from the same laser beam which are incident on the object from opposite sides. When the object is displaced or deformed in the direction normal to the viewing direction (i.e. in it its own plane), the phase of one beam increases, while that of the other decreases, so that the relative phase of the two beams changes. When this change is a multiple of 2π, the speckle pattern coincides with itself (remains the same), while elsewhere it changes.[4] When the subtraction technique described above is used, fringes are obtained which represent in-plane displacement contours.[5]

In-plane displacement gradient measurement

The object is illuminated by two beams derived from the same laser which are incident on the object from the same side but at different angles. When the object is displaced or deformed within its own plane, the relative phases of the two beams change in proportion to the gradient[6] of the in-plane displacement. Again, subtraction of the two images is used to display the fringes.

Holographic interferometry has no equivalent to in-plane measuring[7] ESPI. Acoustic interferometry, among with electromagnetic acoustic transducers, is capable of measure the two polarizations of in-plane vibrations.[8]

title: Electronic speckle pattern interferometry

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How does electronic speckle pattern interferometry work?

answer: The surface of the object under investigation must have an optically rough surface so that when it is illuminated by an expanded laser beam, the image formed is a subjective speckle pattern. The light arriving at a point on the speckled image is scattered from a finite area of the object, and its phase, amplitude, and intensity are related to the microstructure of that area in the object. A second light field is added to the video camera image.

answer: The components being investigated must have a rough, optically irregular surface to give off a subjective speckle pattern. The general difference between ESPI and holographic interferometry is that ESPI uses lasers, video cameras, and video processors, while holography relies on lasers and image formation without video detection. However, configurations can be made to get the same results with either ESPI or holography.

text: The explicit difference between ESPI and holographic interferometry is not stated

refinement: The components being investigated must have a rough, optically irregular surface to give off a subjective speckle pattern. Configurations can be made to get the same results with either ESPI or holography.

text: Note how the light patterns are related to the object

refinement: The components being investigated must have a rough, optically irregular surface to give off a subjective speckle pattern. The phase, amplitude, and intensity of the light at points in the speckled image are directly related to the microstructure of that area of the object. Configurations can be made to get the same results with either ESPI or holography.

answer: The component under investigation must have an optically rough surface so that when it is illuminated by an expanded laser beam, the image formed is a subjective speckle pattern. The light arriving at a point in the speckled image is scattered from a finite area of the object, and its phase, amplitude and intensity, which are all random, are directly related to the microstructure of that area in the object. A second light field, known as the reference beam, is derived from the same laser beam and is superimposed on the video camera image (different configurations enable different measurements to be made). The two light fields interfere and the resulting light field has random amplitude, phase and intensity, and is therefore also a speckle pattern. If the object is displaced or deformed, the distance between object and image will change, and hence the phase of the image speckle pattern will change.

Once upon a time, there were four angles that were best friends, there was Right Angle, and he always thought he was perfect since he added up to 90 degrees. Acute and her twin sister, they always complimented each other since they were both 45 degrees, perfect complementary angles. And Obtuse Angle, the big clown of the group, the other angles always pocked fun at him, saying he was a one angle supplementary, but they were wrong, he was only 179 degrees, so jokes on them. One day they decided they wanted to go to the great Plane. The Plane was a popular attraction for Angles all over the world; it was filled with beautiful sites, and extended on and on forever. All you had to do was take a right, then a left and you were at the door to the magical Plane.

The four friends set out on their journey and quickly reached the door to the grand and mystical Plane. This was the first time any of them had been to the great Plane, and they ran into a small problem. Obtuse was too big to get through the door! Acute teased him by dashing back and forth laughing. “See, you are so big you hit every Vertex of the door!” Acute joked.

“Well, I’m afraid we are going to have to cut you into two congruent pieces Obtuse if you want through” stated Right Angle. “What? No? I don’t want to be cut in half” exclaimed Obtuse, “there has to be another way.” Obtuse angle and Right angle argued about this for a good 10 minutes, Acute took this opportunity to make another joke and measured Obtuse with a Protractor and made more fun of his size. This sent Obtuse over the edge and he cried and cried. “I’m sorry” said Acute “it was mean of me to make fun of you.” But it didn’t help and Obtuse cried and cried some more, but the whole time, he got smaller and smaller, until he was just the perfect size to fit though the door. Right Angle saw the opportunity and pushed him through the door.

Just like that they were in the great Plane, it was beautiful, better than anything they could have imagined, it was completely white, extending on for as long as the eye could see, brightly colored points in space, every color and every shade you could ever think of, they light up the sky like fireworks. “What are those spots up there?” asked Obtuse. “Why those are Points, they litter the great Plane and are everywhere you look.” Explained Right Angle. Obtuse looked to the right and saw two colored lines shoot across the sky, “Oh my, what are those lines, they look like they are racing” said Obtuse. “Those lines are something called parallel lines, they travel across the great Plane, they travel in two opposite directions for as long as you can see, but will never ever meet” said Right Angle. “For some reason that makes me sad they will never meet” said Obtuse with a frown.

The four friends spent another hour or two taking in the sights, but suddenly, everything got a little dark, and some of the dots started disappearing. Looking up they saw the destroyer of the Plane. “What is that?” cried Acute. “Well that is the great eraser, and we better start running” stated Right Angle rather calmly, and so they ran, as quick as they possibly could, with dots and lines disappearing all around them, and the shadow of the great eraser slowly coming closer and closer. They could see the door in the distance but it was a long shot.

Obtuse was trailing slightly behind the rest; he had a drink since his big cry, and was back to his old 179 degrees. Almost all of the color dots were gone at this point, and the great and powerful eraser set its sights on the weak angles, chasing them with all its speed. Acute and her sister made it to the door first, and dove through it, followed by Right Angle, and bringing up the rear was Obtuse, with the great eraser right on his tail, he slammed in to the door but was just too big.

Obtuse turned around just in time to see the eraser not even a foot from him. He pushed with all his force and came flying through the door; the eraser had erased some of him, just enough to fit through the door. Obtuse didn’t mind however because the eraser had erased just enough of him to bring him to a perfect 90 degrees, no more jokes at his expense, looks like Right Angle isn't the only perfect angle in town anymore.

The four friends never returned to the great Plane, now that they knew how dangerous it was, but they were glad they got to see it, and the memory of the dancing bright lights will stay with them for the rest of their days, all they have to do is close their eyes and they see the sky light up with beautiful lights of every color. Something so wonderful will never be forgotten.
The end!

answer:
The four friends set out on their journey and quickly reached the door to the grand and mystical Plane. This was the first time any of them had been to the great Plane, and they ran into a small problem. Obtuse was too big to get through the door! Acute teased him by dashing back and forth laughing. “See, you are so big you hit every Vertex of the door!” Acute joked.

“Well, I’m afraid we are going to have to cut you into two congruent pieces Obtuse if you want through” stated Right Angle. “What? No? I don’t want to be cut in half” exclaimed Obtuse, “there has to be another way.” Obtuse angle and Right angle argued about this for a good 10 minutes, Acute took this opportunity to make another joke and measured Obtuse with a Protractor and made more fun of his size. This sent Obtuse over the edge and he cried and cried. “I’m sorry” said Acute “it was mean of me to make fun of you.” But it didn’t help and Obtuse cried and cried some more, but the whole time, he got smaller and smaller, until he was just the perfect size to fit though the door. Right Angle saw the opportunity and pushed him through the door.

Just like that they were in the great Plane, it was beautiful, better than anything they could have imagined, it was completely white, extending on for as long as the eye could see, brightly colored points in space, every color and every shade you could ever think of, they light up the sky like fireworks. “What are those spots up there?” asked Obtuse. “Why those are Points, they litter the great Plane and are everywhere you look.” Explained Right Angle. Obtuse looked to the right and saw two colored lines shoot across the sky, “Oh my, what are those lines, they look like they are racing” said Obtuse. “Those lines are something called parallel lines, they travel across the great Plane, they travel in two opposite directions for as long as you can see, but will never ever meet” said Right Angle. “For some reason that makes me sad they will never meet” said Obtuse with a frown.

The four friends spent another hour or two taking in the sights, but suddenly, everything got a little dark, and some of the dots started disappearing. Looking up they saw the destroyer of the Plane. “What is that?” cried Acute. “Well that is the great eraser, and we better start running” stated Right Angle rather calmly, and so they ran, as quick as they possibly could, with dots and lines disappearing all around them, and the shadow of the great eraser slowly coming closer and closer. They could see the door in the distance but it was a long shot.

Obtuse was trailing slightly behind the rest; he had a drink since his big cry, and was back to his old 179 degrees. Almost all of the color dots were gone at this point, and the great and powerful eraser set its sights on the weak angles, chasing them with all its speed. Acute and her sister made it to the door first, and dove through it, followed by Right Angle, and bringing up the rear was Obtuse, with the great eraser right on his tail, he slammed in to the door but was just too big.

Obtuse turned around just in time to see the eraser not even a foot from him. He pushed with all his force and came flying through the door; the eraser had erased some of him, just enough to fit through the door. Obtuse didn’t mind however because the eraser had erased just enough of him to bring him to a perfect 90 degrees, no more jokes at his expense, looks like Right Angle isn't the only perfect angle in town anymore.

text:
        There was an elevator man who stood all day long, every day.
His feet did not hurt. He didn't know if he liked his job, or if he hated it. Either way, it didn't change things. The morning had been slower than usual. The motel he worked at was wedged between two abandoned apartment buildings. It was one of those skanky little places where the rooms were unkempt and cheap, and so usually in the morning he was taking people down instead of up. Mostly they were people that had come there drunk with a loving stranger. Most of them woke up in the morning not knowing where life had led them the previous night, and were as frantic as hell to get out of there. And so he met a lot of run-down people, in the morning. A lot of half-naked people. A lot of confused, hung-over, and ashamed people, and they told him to take it down. This morning was slow. He stood. The light was gentle and the air was cold. The lights flickered, always, to a set rhythm, and he had become accustomed to it. He had composed little melodies inside of its tempo in his sleep. It was sort of a one-two-three-one-two-three dance, but not exactly in time. Like slow dancing with a corpse. He was inside of his thoughts, dancing.
	There was a shifting mechanical noise and the doors slid open. He was currently on the 9th floor, as he had been for most of the morning. A man quickly walked inside and pressed, “lobby”. The button lit up. The elevator man looked slightly offended. “That’s my job.”,
“What?”
“That’s my job, sir.”
“Shut the hell up!”
The man looked frantically around the confined universe of the elevator, his eyes were sunken in, he wore a disheveled blueish dress shirt. It was un-tucked in most places. Unbuttoned. His tie hung undone around his neck.
They descended to the 4th floor and there was a sudden slight jolt of gravity, they stopped. “Oh Fucking Christ!..”
The doors did not open.
They stayed for a long time on the 4th floor.
“You sure this thing’s working, pal?”, the disheveled man stammered and spoke unevenly.
“I don’t know”, said the elevator man, “That’s not my job.”
They stayed for a longer time.

         The lights flickered in shaky time.
The elevator man was in his head again, waltzing clumsily with a beautiful manikin. A deceased but manipulatable elegance. He danced for a long time.
The disheveled man cussed and cussed. He took out a cigarette, lit a match.
“No smoking.”
The disheveled man paused, looked up, lit match in hand.
“Look.”, He said. “Friend.”
He threw his cigarette aimlessly and slammed himself against the unopened doors.
“God damn you! Fix this fucking thing! I can’t stay here I need to get out!”
He started to cry.
“It’s not my fucking fault, you know. She was always giving me signals. She was a whore! God damn whores! I just woke up and she’s dead. That’s right buddy you get the breaking news while it’s hot. Straight from the horses mouth, I don’t god damn care. They’re gonna take me to jail.”
He slammed his fists into the door.

           The elevator man stopped waltzing. He pressed “lobby” The elevator started again.
The man was uncontrollably sobbing, sinking to the floor.
“Take me to jail! Go ahead god damn everything and my stinking fucking luck! I’m going to hell.”
They reached the lobby.
The doors opened and the man did not get up.
A few seconds passed.
The elevator man kept the door from closing.
“Sir, we have arrived at the lobby floor.”, he said calm and bored.
“Go to hell! Call the god damn police!”
The disheveled man was rolling slowly on the floor.
“That’s not my job.”

title: Straight From The Horse's Mouth.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why does the man in the elevator think that he will go to jail?

answer: He says he killed a woman.

text: He doesn't say he killed her-he just says she is dead. He implicates himself when he cries out that she "wanted it".

refinement: The man talks about a woman who "acted like she wanted it" and is now dead. He is distraught and vehemently denies any wrongdoing despite the fact that the elevator attendant does not ask for any clarification or make any accusations. Since he is the last person to see her alive, it is likely that the cops will come looking for him.

answer: No specific reason.

text: The story specifically talks about a dead woman, with the man's vehement denial that he had nothing to do with it.

refinement: The man mentions a dead woman. He's calling her slurs in the story, and is distraught, coupled with his disheveled appearance. He denies "doing it" vehemently.

answer: The man has spent the night at a skanky hotel with someone he describes as a whore. According to the man, when he awoke that morning the woman was dead. Since he is the last person to see her alive, it is likely that the cops will come looking for him.

text: The story doesn't disclose the full circumstances of her death or her relationship to the man. We don't even know that they had sex-he might have assaulted some random woman he thought owed him due to his perceived flirtation on her behalf.

refinement: The man talks about a woman who "acted like she wanted it" and is now dead. He is distraught and vehemently denies any wrongdoing despite the fact that the elevator attendant does not ask for any clarification or make any accusations. Since he is the last person to see her alive, it is likely that the cops will come looking for him.

answer: The disheveled man thinks he will go to jail because his partner died while they were having sex and he doesn't want to take responsibility for it. This makes the disheveled man feel lost and frustrated, and leads to him crying and yelling.

text: She was not his partner, the sex might not have been consensual, and there is no information regarding the specific circumstances of her death. This response has a lot of assumptions baked into it.

refinement: The man talks about a woman who "acted like she wanted it" and is now dead. He is distraught and vehemently denies any wrongdoing despite the fact that the elevator attendant does not ask for any clarification or make any accusations. He seems convinced the cops will find him and take him to jail.

answer: The man in the elevator thinks that he will go to jail because he believes his lover is dead and he killed her. He believes he will be taken to jail because of his bad luck.

text: We don't know that she was his lover; he says she "wanted it" which could mean he's defending his assault on her. We don't even know if he knew her. He doesn't say he killed her. The bad luck is related to his being stuck in the elevator.

refinement: The man in the elevator thinks that he will go to jail because a woman he has known is dead. He calls her a slur and insinuates that she "wanted it" which sounds like he might have assaulted her. The reader doesn't know the capacity in which this man knew her.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What type of people frequent the hotel where the elevator man works?

answer: The elevator man works at a hotel frequented by people who have been drinking and spending time with a stranger the night before. The types of people the elevator man meets tend to be disheveled and upset.

answer: He meets mostly people that have come to the hotel drunk with a stranger and wake up feeling ashamed or confused not knowing where they are. They shout rude comments, demean the people who live in the motel, and are usually rude to him about the elevator.

answer: The people who frequent the hotel where the elevator man works are usually people who have come there drunk or with a lover the night before. They are usually hung-over, confused, or ashamed. Many of them become angered or weepy when the elevator stops on the fourth floor and they cannot leave.

answer: People that had drank too much. Those that wake up not knowing where they are.

answer: They are mostly people who come to the hotel to have sex often with a stranger. When they arrive they have often had too much to drink so they often don't remember all the details of the previous night when they awake. They're also in a hurry to get out as they are ashamed of what they have done.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How does the elevator man keep his mind occupied?

answer: The elevator man dances endlessly in his head, focusing on staying calm and keeping his composure despite the circumstances.

answer: By composing melodies in his sleep.

answer: The elevator man composes melodies inside his head. They are normally waltzes and in his thoughts, he dances with a beautiful manikin. It is like slow dancing with a corpse.

answer: By dancing to the tempo of the rapidly flickering light and pretending to waltz with a beautiful mannequin.

answer: The elevator man entertains himself by dancing while waiting and while dealing with people who are upset and angry.

Darryl Zimbargo lay in bed with his wife, Jillian. For twenty eight years Darryl had slept in this bed; knees tucked to his chest, back facing toward his spouse. The bedroom had looked much the same for all those years. Same night stand, same television, same rug and even the same bed sheets and pillow cases. The only thing that had ever changed was the addition of a bright red rotary telephone eight years ago.

Jillian often wondered about the phone. After all, during the eight years since Darryl had brought it home, it hadn’t rung once. She knew better than to ask her husband about it, as she knew that he worked for the government on a number of highly classified projects; the nature of which she did not know or dare inquire about. Needless to say, Darryl was sworn to secrecy. Although Jillian sometimes recalled the one time she had asked her husband about the red rotary.

Eight years ago she had won an antique brass plate that was riddled with long, snake-like markings on it at an auction out of town. Upon bringing it home she scrutinized every flat surface of their home in order to find just the right spot for it. Due to her being a bit of a hoarder, literally every place was already inhabited by all of her other antiques, causing Jillian a great deal of discontent. Eventually she resolved to remove the red rotary telephone from their bedroom and place the brass plate in its stead, knowing that there were plenty of other spots for it. Besides, at the time the phone had only been there for two weeks and hadn’t rung once, what use could it be?

That night Darryl came home from an unusually long day at work. Like every other day, he walked in carrying a familiar yet almost alien smell on his clothing, slipped off his Testoni’s, and went to their bedroom to change into his casual wear. As Jillian was setting the pot roast on the table for dinner, Darryl ran into the kitchen with the brass plate in his hand and upon seeing the red rotary on the edge of the sideboard where she had left it, exploded into a fit of rage. He told her to never touch the phone again and threw the plate across the room. He then plugged the phone back into the wall and carried on as if nothing had ever happened. During the twenty years that she had been married to this man, Jillian had never seen her husband blow up like that and hadn’t any time afterward. It scared her.  So much in fact, that she hadn’t spoken a single word of the silent rotary nor even acknowledged its existence since.

She knew nothing of that phone other than that it was clearly very important to Darryl, or maybe more specifically to the people he worked for. That was all she knew and she was content not knowing anything more. What Darryl did at work was his business; who was she to pry into government affairs? The way she saw it, the phone was just another mystery about her husband that she had no interest in solving. If Jillian could simply live out the rest of her days tending to her garden, cleaning the house, making breakfast, lunch and dinner and sleeping silently at the end of each day—she’d be content.

Only on this particular night as the two slept soundly, the silence was broken. Jillian opened her eyes in confusion. It was midnight and there was not a noise to be heard all throughout the house. Except for that beeping. What was that beeping?

Beep
Beep
Beep

She wondered but somehow knew, subconsciously she knew exactly what that noise was. Suddenly Darryl sprung out of bed and snatched the red rotary phone’s receiver faster than she would have ever thought possible for her aging spouse. He brought it to his ear, saying nothing as if waiting for something. Then, permeating through the silence of their bedroom, a voice spoke two words that would echo in her ears for the rest of her life. The words frightened Jillian; she didn’t know why but it frightened her more than she had ever been in her life.

“UT-ZAH 1689”

title: [MS] The Red Rotary

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about the type of person Darryl is.

answer: He has been married to Jillian for twenty-eight years and sleeps with his back facing toward her. He works for the government on highly classified projects. When she tries to move the red telephone he keeps by the nightstand, he smashes a plate and explodes into a fit of rage.

text: These are all good examples from the text but need to be expressed at a higher level of abstraction

refinement: He is secretive about his work, even to his wife. Their marriage is not intimate. He is described as kind, and only once does he become angry with her — when she moves the red phone.

answer: Darryl is a secretive man. He works for the government and is held to a high level of secrecy. Jillian only knows that Darryl brings the red rotary phone into the bedroom every day and leaves it plugged in the wall, but she has never dared to ask him about it despite her curiosity. She also knows that there are several pointed takes and edges around the phone and knows that the phone is very important to her husband or his job. Aside from the mysterious phone and occasional anger fits, she married a quiet man who smiled a lot and goofed around regularly.

text: He only once got angry with Jillian

refinement: He is secretive about his work, even to his wife. Their marriage is not intimate. He is described as kind, and only once does he become angry with her — when she moves the red phone.

answer: Darryl speaks to his wife in a very secretive tone. Jillian does not dare to inquire more into the mystery of the red rotary phone, knowing that his employer is the government and that the phone must be very important. She's content staying in their bedroom tending their garden, cleaning the house, making breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and sleeping quietly at the end of the day; this is how she lives quietly. Only the mysterious phone managed to break through Darryl's tranquility.

text: There is not such thing as a "secretive" tone

refinement: He is secretive about his work, even to his wife. Their marriage is not intimate. He is described as kind, and only once does he become angry with her — when she moves the red phone.

answer: The story describes Darryl as someone who works for the government and keeps secrets. Darryl's reaction to the phone ringing showed that he was clearly taken by surprise, and reacted with rage, suggesting that he is extremely protective of his work and the people who work with him. Given this context, it can be inferred that Darryl is likely secretive and protective of those around him.

text: Add in that his wife never saw him get angry after that

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the main source of conflict in the story.

answer: The primary conflict in this story is being presented with the sudden appearance of a red rotary telephone that announces cryptic messages to the protagonist's husband and terrifies the protagonist. There is the innate fear of the unknown, coupled with the husband's unwillingness to share any information about the phone. This conflict creates tension in their relationship and leaves the protagonist scared and uncertain about the future.

text: Its appearance is not sudden, it has been around a while

refinement: It's implied that Darryl is involved in espionage or counter-espionage. Darryl keeps a red rotary telephone on the night stand in his bedroom. His wife, Jillian, tried to remove the phone from their bedroom one day. Darryl exploded in rage and told her never to touch the phone again. One day, the phone finally rings, and someone on the other end utters a mysterious code.

answer: The primary source of conflict in this story is the sudden beeping of the red rotary phone in the middle of the night. This disturbance causes Jillian's husband to leap out of bed and take the phone receiver. Jillian becomes frightened when she learns that the caller has spoken only two words: UT-ZAH 1689. This mystery surrounds the phone and what connection it might have to her husband's work, causing her anxiety. The conflict is focused on the phone and what secrets it hides.

text: Describe more of the phone's backstory

refinement: The primary source of conflict in this story is a mysterious red rotary phone that has been in the couple's house for years, and its sudden beeping in the middle of the night. This disturbance causes Jillian's husband to leap out of bed and take the phone receiver. Jillian becomes frightened when she learns that the caller has spoken only two words: UT-ZAH 1689. This mystery surrounds the phone and what connection it might have to her husband's work, causing her anxiety. The conflict is focused on the phone and what secrets it hides.

answer: It's implied that Darryl is involved in espionage or counter-espionage. There were two groupings in this story, the government and their workers, and the visitors of what was presumably someone on government business. Jillian is the wife of Darryl and they have some sort of relationship with the visitors, but it's not clear what it's meant to be. The main source of conflict, then, is that Jillian accidentally removed a phone of mysterious importance, which then nearly blew up at her. Darryl is angry and silent for hours afterward hoping it leaves as quickly as it came. Darryl does not explode again, but just wants the phone to go back to its normal job.

answer: There aren't many major conflicts in the story. It's mostly concerned with worldbuilding and character building (alluded to by "Jillian often wondered about the phone"). The world they live in is constructed with a lot of detail and a lot of effort going into showing it as a contemporary dystopia. They live in a world with a ubiquitous public network, drone surveillance, and censored and closed-off public spaces. The fact that Darryl has a connection to this world and doesn't explain it to Jillian is the source of tension because she doesn't know if it's the government that Darryl does the secretive side-work for or some other organization.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about they type of person Jillian is?

answer: Most people would cringe to imagine sleep for twenty years, let alone a complete extended marriage, in the same position. Even when her husband left, she still continued to lay in the same position. She was a mind reader insofar as she was able to know when to sneak out. Even if Jillian was an unwitting subject of a government project, she seems to be naïve to think that nothing needs to change over time.

text: These last three lines are inventive

refinement: Most people would cringe to imagine sleep for twenty years, let alone a complete extended marriage, in the same position.

text: This does not actually describe anything about Jillian.

refinement: Jillian is content with being a housewife and being loyal to her husband. She is content to know a small section of what her husband does at work and easily finds peace in her day.

answer: Jillian is content with being a housewife and being loyal to her husband. She is content to know a small section of what her husband does at work and easily finds control in her day.

text: "Control" is an odd word here

refinement: Jillian is content with being a housewife and being loyal to her husband. She is content to know a small section of what her husband does at work and easily finds peace in her day.

answer: The story describes Jillian as someone who is content not to pry into the affairs of her husband. She is familiar with the unusual red rotary phone and its lack of ringing, but is content to let this be an unsolved mystery. She was startled by the beeping sound of the phone, but despite this she appears relatively calm and stable. This suggests that she is relatively trusting and passive.

text: She is not calm and stable

refinement: Jillian is content with being a housewife and being loyal to her husband. She is content to know a small section of what her husband does at work and easily finds peace in her day.

answer: Jillian knows better than to ask her husband about anything work-related. Due to her being a bit of a hoarder, the house is inhabited by all of her antiques. She is content knowing the phone was important to Darryl and not knowing any more. She'd be content to live out the rest of her days tending to the garden, cleaning the house, cooking, and sleeping silently.

answer: From this passage it can be assumed that Jillian prefers to remain in the dark about what Darryl does for work and does not want to know more about the red rotary phone he has in their bedroom. Jillian is seemingly not prone to pursuing information as she is content to simply carry on with her daily routine. Jillian is likely reserved, preferring to remain in the background.
