Which phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy’s work?

he name, Ptolemy, appears to have been a common one in Egypt in those days. The time at which he lived is fixed by the fact that his first recorded observation was made in 127 AD, and his last in 151 AD. When we add that he seems to have lived in or near Alexandria, or to use his own words, "on the parallel of Alexandria," we have said everything that can be said so far as his individuality is concerned.

Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him. He incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories. His speculations, even when they were, as we now know, quite erroneous, had such an astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts of nature that they commanded universal assent. Even in these modern days we not infrequently find lovers of paradox who maintain that Ptolemy's doctrines not only seem true, but actually are true.

A.) so far as his individuality is concerned

B.) greatest figure in ancient astronomy

C.) gathered up the wisdom

D.) illumined it with his theories

E.) astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Answer:

B. "greatest figure in ancient in astronomy"

C. "he gathered up the wisdom"

D. "illumined it with his theories"

E. "astonishing verisimilitude to the actual act"

Explanation:

The author acknowledges Ptolemy's work and contributions to astronomy, although some of his works and theories were later found to be wrong.

He calls him the greatest figure in ancient astronomy and says that he gathered up wisdom, brought light with his theories, and helped advance astronomy. He believes that even if some of the theories were wrong, they were similar to true facts.

We can conclude that Kennedy's opinion showed how modern scientific knowledge was the basis for the nation's success.

Kennedy believed that modern scientific knowledge was the basis for the nation's success and for this reason he was a great proponent of encouraging science and technology, in addition to frequently requesting popular support for scientific advances that would allow the country to have advantages in the space race, as in several scientific discoveries.

Hey There!!

☀️ Friendship is one of life's greatest treasures. Friends that are loyal are always there to make you laugh when you are down, they are not afraid to help you avoid mistakes and they look out for your best interest. This kind of friend can be hard to find, but they offer a friendship that will last a lifetime. Other friends may not be quite as loving. The pain caused by a friendship marred by betrayal is not easy to overcome. In fact, many poems find their inspiration from the joy brought about by a loving friendship or the pain caused by a failed friendship.

Here's one: I will not play at tug o’ war.

I’d rather play at hug o’ war,

Where everyone hugs

Instead of tugs,

Where everyone giggles

And rolls on the rug,

Where everyone kisses,

And everyone grins,

And everyone cuddles,

And everyone wins

Answer:

The correct answer is All of these.

Explanation:

Poetry appeals to the reader's emotions, tends to say a lot in a small space and uses metaphors to make comparisons between unlike thing.

Poetry is a literary genre that is characterized by being the most refined manifestation, through the word, of the feelings, emotions and reflections that human beings can express about beauty, love, life or death. As such, it can be composed in both verse and prose.

Formerly, poetry was written only in verses, governed by a set of rules on composition called meter.

However, modern poetry is characterized by the predominance of free verse, where the author has total freedom to arrange and organize the verses in the text, and seek their own rhythm, without ties of rhymes or metrics.

Passage C

Explanation:

NOOICE

Explanation:

It adds details to the plot's rising action since Maya is painted as been more intimidated because of her view that she's about to face something scary and embarrassing just as it happened to the student who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia.

Remember, any descriptions of incidents that create suspense, interest, or tensions are referred to as the rising action.

The text indicates that the immigrant may have experienced some inappropriate events. So she is used to feeling that way when she thinks she is in trouble. Although Maya has never undergone the same events as the other immigrant, Maya still feels uneasy and worried about getting in trouble. Maya thinks she has a connection with the immigrant that makes her more frightened that something scary and embarrassing will happen to her, as it did to the immigrant in the story.

Answer:

Secrets are not hard to keep.

Explanation:

It is hard to keep many things hidden. For instance, it is difficult to keep a secret plane hidden, for you will need a secret underground bunker. It is difficult to keep a secret orchestra hidden, for you will need instruments and a sound-proof room. However, it is not difficult to keep a secret about the plane or the orchestra, for you can just whisper it into the ear of a trusted associate. Many things in this world are easy to find out, but a secret is not one of them.

Answer:

Is

Explanation:

Yes, I have a secret that I haven't told anyone. Secrets can sometimes be impossible to keep, sometimes possible. Because you feel to tell the other person that secret. No keeping secrets cannot be a negative experience. But sometimes keeping secrets are a bit negative.

PLATO ANSWER

Answer:

The sentence that illustrates correct pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

A. Did most of the players sink their three-point shots?

Explanation:

We can eliminate letter B because of the compound conjunction "neither... nor". This conjunction makes the subject singular, which causes "their" to be the wrong pronoun. The correct pronoun would be "his", even though two people are mentioned.

Letter C can also be eliminated since the noun "everyone" is also singular and demands a singular verb and singular pronouns. We tend to think of it as referring to many people, which is the cause of confusion. With "everyone", we should avoid using "their".

Letter D is also incorrect. "Each" is the antecedent we need to consider, and it is a singular one. Again, the use of "their" is wrong here.

Therefore, we are left with letter A. "Most" can be used with singular or plural nouns. The verbs and pronouns that follow will agree with the noun, not with the word "most". In this case, we have "most of the players", "players" being plural. For that reason, the use of "their" is correct.

Answer and Explanation:

Sanger Rainsford is the main character in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." From the beginning of the short story until its ending, Rainsford endures hardship that is bound to make him grow and develop as a person. His internal journey, his change as a human being, is certainly affected by external events, the most important one originating with his meeting General Zaroff.

At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is quite the arrogant hunter. He reveals in a dialog his lack of empathy for his prey. Rainsford thinks the world can be divided into hunters and huntees, and that he is lucky to belong to the former instead of the latter. The huntees, according to his philosophy, do not really deserve any pity or sympathy. This is just how life goes.

However, Rainsford ends in Zaroff's private island only to find out what it feels like to be the huntee. The general is also a hunter who, very much like Rainsford himself, does not believe in empathizing with his prey. There is a catch in his philosophy, though. General Zaroff believes that applies to hunting men. He has grown tired of hunting irrational beasts and, looking for a more thrilling challenge, he has begun hunting human beings like himself.

Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt alongside him, but Rainsford refuses, calling it murder. The general decides then to hunt Rainsford instead. Upon becoming the prey, Rainsford's internal journey is suddenly veered to a completely different path. He can no longer be the arrogant hunter he once was. He now understands the fear, the desperation that the animals he has hunted have felt. Facing death inevitably brings with it the instinctive wish to survive. No matter if rational or irrational, every living being in the world wishes to avoid death and remain alive. Rainsford is similar to any other animal.
