Read this excerpt from the Cherokee creation story "How the World Was Made": When all was water, the animals were above in Galûñ’lati, beyond the arch; but it was very crowded, and they wanted more room. They wondered what was below the water, and at last Beaver’s Grandchild, the little Water-beetle, offered to go and see if he could learn. He darted in every direction over the surface of the water, but could find no firm place to rest. Then he dived to the bottom and came up with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island that we call Earth. It was afterward fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this. At first Earth was flat and very soft and wet. The animals were anxious to get down, and set out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but they found no place to alight and came back again to Galûñ’lati. At last it seemed to be time, and they sent out the Buzzard and told him to go and make ready for them… When Earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west, just overhead… This story contains elements of which two types of creation stories?

Answer:

The new digital technologies are always getting people curious and excited, whether it’s the digital camera that is cheaper than developing rolls upon rolls of film, or the photo-sharing apps that in turn make your iPhone camera easier to use than your old digital camera. The possibility to do more, faster and shareable is beating all the good old technology that you needed to be instructed to use. If some years ago not everybody knew how to operate a photo camera and develop the pictures, having to take the rolls to specialized photo units, today anyone can take great, amazing pictures, just by using his/ her phone or a digital camera.

Explanation:

Still, it’s important not to forget that the new technology is based on the old one and, sometimes, people still prefer, in some cases, to use the older versions. In some cases it even became vintage and cool to use the old “ways”.

Answer:

The answer I prefer is

Explanation:

Old technology: Everybody is not interested, especially the light bulb. For nobody knows how hard they worked to create these inventions But the people who invent that item feels a tingle of joy. So old technology is not a waste, or you won't be sitting with a light bulb on top of u and a computer in front of you.

New technology: The thing that everyone gets excited for. New and better technologies. Teliporting machines, which would be soon found out by scientists. Humanlike robots are used in this pandemic. People just forget about the old technologies when they see new stuff. But nobody knows that the people who are inventing these may have copied past inventions and updated it.

Which part of this sentence is a dependent clause? This is the ship that drowned in the waters. A. that drowned in the waters B. this is the ship that C. the ship that drowned D. this is the ship

Answers

Answer:

B. this is the ship that

Explanation:

Dependent clauses are the part of the sentence that if you put them in their own sentence, they wouldn't work and it wouldn't make sense. They depend on independent clauses to work in a sentence.

To identify the dependent clause, you must look for the part of the sentence where if you left it alone in its own sentence, you wouldn't know exactly what's going on. In B it says "this is the ship that." This is an incomplete sentence. What did the ship do? What happened to the ship? We don't know, which is why it's a dependent clause.
