A:Charlton Heston agreed to star in 1959's "Ben-Hur," though he wasn't the first choice--Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, and Rock Hudson had all declined the titular character's role--and he went on to win an Oscar, with the film also winning another 10, which was a record at the time. After Moses and "Ben-Hur", Heston became more identified with Biblical epics than any other actor. He later voiced Ben-Hur in an animated television production of the Lew Wallace novel in 2003. B:If you had heard, and fully believed, that West Side Story had won 11 Oscars, would this passage cause you to conclude that the musical could have been released prior to 1959? Answer: abraham

B:Given the facts presented in this passage, could you say it was possible that one or more movies released prior to 1959 (such as Citizen Kane, or Gone with the Wind) had each won more than ten Academy Awards? Answer: abraham
A:After an unprecedented number of actors (including Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, and Rock Hudson) all turned down the title role in "Ben-Hur" (1959), Heston accepted the part, winning the Academy Award for Best Actor, one of the impressive, though not record-breaking, 10 Oscars the film earned.

A:The first Q-ship victory was on 23 June 1915, when the submarine HMS "C24", cooperating with the decoy vessel "Taranaki", commanded by Lieutenant Frederick Henry Taylor CBE DSC RN, sank "U-40" off Eyemouth. The first victory by an unassisted Q-ship came on 24 July 1915 when "Prince Charles", commanded by Lieutenant Mark-Wardlaw, DSO, sank "U-36". The civilian crew of "Prince Charles" received a cash award. The following month an even smaller converted fishing trawler renamed HM Armed Smack "Inverlyon" successfully destroyed near Great Yarmouth. "Inverlyon" was an unpowered sailing ship fitted with a small 3 pounder (47 mm) gun. The British crew fired nine rounds from their 3-pounder into "UB-4" at close range, sinking her with the loss of all hands despite the attempt of "Inverlyon"s skipper to rescue one surviving German submariner. B:Given the relatively light armament on the Inverlyon, does it sound like the maximum engine size that could be fit into such a vessel was a limiting factor on how much firepower she could wield?
