Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

The wind that carried west from Ilium
brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore,
a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones.
I stormed that place and killed the men who fought.
Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
‘Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it—60
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;

What inference can be made about the availability of
food, based on this passage?
There was plenty of food in Elizabethan England.
There was never enough food in Elizabethan
England.
...storage of food is most important. The principal rule
is to have separate places for different types of
commodity: dry things can be kept in a pantry with bread
and dry linen; wet things are normally stored in the
buttery. Wine and meat must be kept apart, and cellars
should be avoided on account of their dampness. Meat
should be seethed in summer to keep it fresh, then kept
in a cool cellar, soaked in vinegar with juniper seeds and
salt. Most yeomen will have vats and presses for making
cheeses-a valuable source of protein in the long winter
season. Similarly, most livestock owners have troughs for
salting meat or allowing it to steep in brine.

Text also talks about the preservation processes that were done to food for the winter season, suggesting that during this season there was less food production by saying that "Meat should be seethed in summer to keep it fresh ... Most yeomen will have vats and presses for making cheeses — a valuable source of protein in the long winter season. " According to the above, the correct answer is C.

What are countries at the two opposite extremes in macroeconomic performance?

Answers

Answer:

Recent empirical research has shown that output and GDP per capita in the aftermath of natural disasters are not necessarily lower than before the event. In many cases, both are not significantly affected and, surprisingly, sometimes they are found to respond positively to natural disasters. Here, we propose a novel economic theory that explains these observations. Specifically, we show that GDP is driven above its pre-shock level when natural disasters destroy predominantly durable consumption goods (cars, furniture, etc.). Disasters destroying mainly productive capital, in contrast, are predicted to reduce GDP. Insignificant responses of GDP can be expected when disasters destroy both, durable goods and productive capital. We extend the model by a residential housing sector and show that disasters may also have an insignificant impact on GDP when they destroy residential houses and durable goods. We show that disasters, irrespective of whether their impact on GDP is positive, negative, or insignificant, entail considerable losses of aggregate welfare.

why should objectives in drowning and paintings be balanced?​

Answers

Answer:

Artists generally strive to create artwork that is balanced. A balanced work, in which the visual weight is distributed evenly across the composition, seems stable, makes the viewer feel comfortable, and is pleasing to the eye. A work that is unbalanced appears unstable, creates tension, and makes the viewer uneasy.

Fun facts:

Balance in art is just what is sounds like; it is the sense of stability in a work of art. To create balance in art, artists combine the visual components to ensure that one part of the artwork doesn't completely overshadow the rest.

Chelsea works as a salon and spa coordinator checking guests in and out and assisting with hair and skin products that had not been selling very well. Chelsi observes that those products are all on the bottom shelf of the display and thinks that product placement could be the issue. Which of the following research questions might help chelsi investigate her theory that product placement is contributing to low product sales?

Answers

B

Explanation:

maybe they are not bought because it is not seen and as stated in the paragraph above those products were all at the bottom

Of all the research questions, the best help Chelsi will get in investigating her theory about product placement is “Will the product sell better if it's displayed on a more visible shelf for two weeks?” Hence, Option B is correct.

What is product placement?

In product placement, a branded product gets inclusion in the media, and that is without the explicit reference to the product. Most of the time, the branded products are featured or displayed in the movies, television shows, and video games, and most of the time at the time of cricket or any famous sports match.

For instance, when a lead actor or a cricketer uses a particular brand phone in any public gathering, this is known as product placement. In the given case, the use of the product placement in the businesses is done to increase sales, raise brand awareness, and attract customers.

Thus, Option B is correct.

My essays were the epitome of good work and they would be read to the
whole class. I was probably proud of myself, even though I didn't really give it
any serious thought. Somehow, my academic success did not do much for my
confidence or give me any self love. I thought I was very ugly and the fact
that my hair was so hard to manage did not make things easier. I used to
describe it as dry grass in winter. After a while, I even stopped combing it. I'd
wash it and dry it, get dressed in my black skirt and white shirt, which were
not as nice as those of the other girls, and off I'd go to school. To top it all,
had knock-knees and big feetil I was just so ugly and awkward I hated
myself. And, my God - I sat in the front desk! Miss-ugly-top-of-the-class.
Our school was one of the blggest high schools in the Eastern Cape and
we had a great school choir that simply collected trophies. I remember
Bulelwa's voice every time I think of our choir. I used to close my eyes and
enjoy listening to her sing. I don't know how many times I wished I had a tape
recorder so that I could tape her voice and have the pleasure of listening to
her for the rest of my life. I must say, I felt great on those rare afternoons
when Bulelwa would come and study with me under the black wattle tree near
the teachers' cottages. I loved that spot. And I also remember that Bulelwa
would stand by me when some of the girls in dormitory teased me about boys.

I saw him yesterday. He ...... be abroad.

Answers

can’t because the person saw him yesterday so he can’t be far away yk

"can't"

The correct option that can fill the given space in the sentence is "can't."  The use of "can't" shows that it is not possible for the person that was seen yesterday to have gone abroad by the next day when the speech was recorded.

"Can't" is the slang form of "cannot."  "Can't" is often used in speech as opposed to writing.

The speaker who saw the person yesterday is affirming that he actually saw the person.  This implies that the person could not have relocated abroad between yesterday and today.

Thus, in this sentence, "may" and "must" will not  suitably fill in the space provided because the intended meaning cannot be expressed with them.  Therefore, "can't" is the correct word to fill the space in the sentence.

Hi. Unfortunately your question is incomplete. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question very similar to yours that asked to select the sentence where the information "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof," should be added. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

sentence 6

Explanation:

The information "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof" manages to be coherent after sentence 6, leaving the text fluid, precise and cohesive. Sentence 6 shows that organic products need to be produced with a minimum of chemical products, however, it is necessary to prove that these chemical products were not used in the production process, for the agricultural product to be called organic. Thus, we can agree that the sentence "Manufacturers cannot lawfully label their products organic without proof" extends the meaning of sentence 6 if it is added right after it.
