Read the excerpt from "The Rosetta Stone.”

Egyptian scripts were replaced with Coptic, which included six demotic characters. In the ninth century, Arab scholar Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn-Wahshiyah was able to partly decipher the hieroglyphs by comparing them to Coptic. But in the eleventh century, it too was replaced, by Arabic. The link was once again severed. For centuries, Western scholars tried to decipher the hieroglyphs, with little success. They were working under a false hypothesis, that the hieroglyphs were pictograms, with each symbol representing an object or an idea.

Which is the best summary of this paragraph?

A - After Coptic became the prominent script, it was replaced by Arabic, which resulted in breaking society’s connection to ancient times.
B - For many centuries, people who spoke a variety of different languages tried to figure out the meaning of hieroglyphs.
C - Hieroglyphs are letters, not symbols representing a whole idea, which many scholars throughout history were not aware of.
D - For a long time, scholars from different places tried to figure out the meaning of hieroglyphs, but they mistakenly believed each hieroglyph was a symbol

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe it is D

Explanation:

I think this because in the excerpt:

Egyptian scripts were replaced with Coptic, which included six demotic characters. In the ninth century, Arab scholar Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn-Wahshiyah was able to partly decipher the hieroglyphs by comparing them to Coptic. But in the eleventh century, it too was replaced, by Arabic. The link was once again severed. For centuries, Western scholars tried to decipher the hieroglyphs, with little success. They were working under a false hypothesis, that the hieroglyphs were pictograms, with each symbol representing an object or an idea.  

(I underlined and bolded clues that led to my conclusion)

The summary of this excerpt would be: D- For a long time, scholars from different places tried to figure out the meaning of hieroglyphs, but they mistakenly believed each hieroglyph was a symbol.

(she looks around the circle of faces)

Based on the dialogue and stage directions, what should the reader imagine in this scene?

a woman talking to herself about something she saw
a woman talking to a group of eager listeners
a crowd of people discussing a woman’s story
a man listening to a woman tell a story

Answers

The correct answer is B. A woman talking to a group of eager listeners.

Explanation

According to the fragment and the stage directions, the reader can infer that it is a woman who is speaking because the text is preceded by the subtitle "woman one". Second, it can be inferred that she does not feel good about the situation that she is recounting due to the stage direction "a little reluctantly". Finally, it can be inferred that she is addressing a crowd of people since the stage direction is enunciating "she looks around the circle of faces". and these people are likely quite interested in her story. So the correct answer is B.

Fat-Free Chocolate Milk Box
There I was, staring at that fat-free chocolate milk box, so common, so simple, yet something completely new for me, completely different from the bagged yogurts my grandmother packed in my lunchbox along with little snack-sized cakes wrapped in colorful packages. After two days of having arrived in New York City, The fact of being in a completely different place was just starting to hit me, surrounded by a different culture and a different language. I wondered what that little milk box would’ve thought if it found itself surrounded by the fresh bagged whole milk and
yogurts I previously had in my school lunches. The smelly, dry, brownish rice on my tray didn't look tasty at all and on top of that, being there made me nervous so I did not feel like eating. Staring at my tray in order to avoid eye contact with the other kids was starting to get boring and weird so opening the milk seemed like my best choice. I wanted to open it, but how?

If added to "The Traveler’s Guide to Japan,” which chapter would be the most helpful to someone planning a trip to Japan? a chapter on the Japanese educational system a chapter on the governing bodies in Japan a chapter on the cultural influences of China a chapter on the types of accommodations available?

Answers

Answer: a chapter on the types of accommodations available

Explanation:

If I were traveling for a vacation, I'd want to know what all I could do. Makin it the most practical.

The chapter that would be the most helpful to someone planning a trip to Japan if added to "The Traveler’s Guide to Japan,” is:  a chapter on the types of accommodations available.

A visitor to Japan might not have friends and relatives with whom he may spend some time. Therefore, accommodation will be one of the foremost things in the mind of that visitor.

So if a guide is prepared that specifies the types of accommodation available in the country, the intending visitor will find this information very useful.

How was nick's character in the great gatsby? Chapter 1&2

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Nick is the narrator of "The Great Gatsby" and it is through his opinions that the reader can create their own opinions about New York high society. In the words of Nick himself, we can describe him as a tolerant and open-minded person, which allows him to transition into several different scenarios in the book. However, the reader can characterize it more deeply according to the first and second chapters of the book.

In these chapters, Nick proves, in fact, to be a tolerant and calm person. However, the reader may doubt his ability to be open-minded, as he makes a lot of judgments and is very cryptic, especially in the second chapter, about people and everything he sees.

Nick is a great observer in these two chapters and a good listener. This allows people to feel free to talk to him, allowing him to analyze and observe them deeply, being a detailed and intense narrator.

Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning

As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.
Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells
Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust—
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
You’d think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.

Identify the symbolism in the poem. For instance, what do the birds, the singing, and the sky represent? What is the central meaning of the poem?

Answers

Answer:

Caged bird, open sky, free birds

Explanation:

The caged bird depicts the African American who has been bound by society, and the cage symbolizes society. The laterally sky, which is far away from the imprisoned bird, represents freedom, since the free bird “identifies the sky his own.” White Americans might be represented by the free bird. 

Answer:

In the poem, Maya Angelou compares a caged bird to a free bird. The caged bird represents the African American who is restricted by society, and society is represented by the cage. The sky, which is wide-open, yet distant to the caged bird, symbolizes freedom, as the free bird “names the sky his own.” The free bird could represent white Americans. The free bird’s life is carefree and unfettered, and its voice is beautiful and free. The caged bird, on the other hand, is trapped in a cage and “stands on the grave of dreams.” Its voice is fearful and unnatural. The singing of both birds represents self-expression and how discrimination and inequality can hinder and distort the views, ambitions, and expression of those who are persecuted.

Historia de cristobal colon en voz pasiva

Answers

Answer:

Cristóbal Colón fue un marino y colonizador genovés que, al servicio de los Reyes Católicos de España, realizó cuatro viajes a través del Océano Atlántico, que despertaron el interés en Europa por un nuevo continente, más tarde llamado América. Estas expediciones y los esfuerzos de Colón por establecer asentamientos permanentes en La Española iniciaron la colonización española, que resultó en una competencia entre las potencias europeas para colonizar América del Sur y del Norte.

En un momento en que comenzó la dominación mundial europea y la competencia entre los reinos europeos, que intentaban enriquecerse estableciendo rutas comerciales y colonias, la propuesta de Colón de llegar a Asia circunnavegando la Tierra hacia el oeste recibió el apoyo de la corte real española, que vio esperanza para el comercio de especias. Durante su primer viaje en 1492, Colón llegó a las costas de las Bahamas en lugar del Japón planeado y aterrizó en un lugar que llamó San Salvador. Durante otras tres expediciones, visitó las Antillas Mayores y Menores, las costas de Venezuela y Centroamérica, que tomó para el Imperio español.

El deterioro de las relaciones con la corte real española y los administradores coloniales en América llevó al arresto y destitución de Colón como gobernador de La Española en 1500 y luego prolongó las disputas sobre los beneficios que Colón quería para él y sus herederos de la corte real. Al final, logró superar solo algunos de ellos. Murió en Valladolid y sus restos se encuentran ahora en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Sevilla.

Many unethical actions in advertising are not considered to be illegal. This is partially due to the fact that falsified facts in a commercial, for example, are hard to prove. In the industry, the practice of making unrealistic or hard-to-prove claims is commonly known as _____________.

Answers

Answer:

Puffery

Explanation:

Advertisement refers to the promotional multimedia messages designed and developed to make the products or services of a company known to its customers and potential customers. It is generally considered to be one-sided because it focuses on painting a brand as the best and devoid of any negative issue.

There are several unethical actions in advertising that are considered to be legal. This is partially due to the fact that, it is somewhat difficult and hard to prove falsified facts in a commercial or advert.

In the industry, the practice of making unrealistic or hard-to-prove claims is commonly known as puffery.

Puffery can be defined as boastful statements or broad exaggerations (overstatement) about a good or service made by sellers, for the purpose of attracting buyers. Thus, it's usually a matter of opinion (subjective) and as such cannot be verified objectively.

Many unethical actions in advertising are not considered to be illegal,he practice of making unrealistic or hard-to-prove claims is commonly known as Puffery.

What is puffery in  sense of unethical actions ?

Puffery can be characterized as egotistic proclamations or expansive misrepresentations (exaggeration) about a decent or administration made by merchants, to draw in purchasers. Hence, it's typically an issue of assessment (emotional) and as such can't be checked unbiasedly

There are a few unscrupulous activities in promoting that are viewed as legitimate. This is somewhat because of the way that, it is fairly troublesome and difficult to demonstrate adulterated realities in a business or advert.
