Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.


Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for “T,” whereas it actually stood for the vowel “O’.” The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just “L,” the fifth meant “M,” and the last hieroglyph stood simply for “S.” In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was “Ptolmis,” not “Ptolemaios.”


Which statement best describes this excerpt?


This excerpt is biased because it reflects an attitude about Young’s actions.

This excerpt is biased because it reflects an attitude about Egyptian spelling.

This excerpt is unbiased because it provides opinions about Egyptian spelling.

This excerpt is unbiased because it provides details about Young’s actions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: This excerpt is unbiased because it provides details about Young’s actions.

Explanation:

The excerpt is unbiased as it is simply providing details about Young's thoughts and actions in relation to his deciphering of the Rosetta Stone which had helped historians immensely in understanding the Hieroglyphic text.  

In listing the mistakes that Young made and then correcting it, the author pushed no negative narrative about Young and so could be said to be unbiased.

PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP I WILL MAK BRAINLIEST - SHARKS' TEETH

Langston Carter


The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.


We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.


Which of the following correctly describes the narrator of this excerpt, "Sharks' Teeth"?

1. What is the topic the author is exploring in Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!? 2. What is the author's purpose in exploring this topic? 3. How are the sections of the selection related to one another? 4. Give an example of a fact used to support a major idea in the selection.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The author is exploring the ability of boredom to cause strange and undesirable behavior, especially in scientists who are isolated, whether in space or in very unpleasant environments.

2. The author's purpose is to show little-known information about continuous boredom and without the slightest possibility of bailing out anytime soon. It shows how dangerous this feeling is and can create serious problems.

3. The sections offer a complement to each other, making one complete not only the information given in the previous section, but also provide other information on the same topic, thus creating a strong relationship between them.

4. A fact used to support the topic presented in the text is the existence of a windowless geodesic dome, near the Mauna Loa volcano, in Hawaii where people are tested on how humans would live in situations similar to those they would face on Mars, with deprivations and experiencing their own boredom.

Stave 2 depicts Scrooge as a young boy in a boarding school in England. This was somewhat ordinary for a family with money back then (to send their boys to boarding school). According to Stave 2, how were things different for Ebenezer though, as compared to the other boys attending his school?

Answers

Answer:

Lonely and alone.

Explanation:

Though Ebenezer attented a boarding school and belonged to a pretty good family back then, he was always lonely and alone at school.

Stave 2 depicts how Ebenezer would sit all alone near the fireplace while reading books. When the Christmas spirit showed Ebenezer this scene from the past, he wept to see himself as a poor forgotten self.

Ebenezer then regretted not giving anything to the boy who was singing a Christmas Carol at his door last night. The scene from his past reminded him that the boy who sang the Christmas carol was just like him.

by Louisa May Alcott (excerpt)

"Meg, I wish you'd go and see the Hummels. You know Mother told us not to forget them," said Beth, ten days after Mrs. March's departure.
"I'm too tired to go this afternoon," replied Meg, rocking comfortably as she sewed.
"Can't you, Jo?" asked Beth.
"Why don't you go yourself?" asked Meg.
"I have been every day, but the baby is sick, and I don't know what to do for it. Mrs. Hummel goes away to work, and Lottchen takes care of it. But it gets sicker and sicker, and I think you or Hannah ought to go."
Beth spoke earnestly, and Meg promised she would go tomorrow.
"Ask Hannah for some nice little mess, and take it round, Beth, the air will do you good," said Jo, adding apologetically, "I'd go but I want to finish my writing."
"My head aches and I'm tired, so I thought maybe some of you would go," said Beth.
"Amy will be in presently, and she will run down for us," suggested Meg.
So Beth lay down on the sofa, the others returned to their work, and the Hummels were forgotten. An hour passed. Amy did not come, Meg went to her room to try on a new dress, Jo was absorbed in her story, and Hannah was sound asleep before the kitchen fire, when Beth quietly put on her hood, filled her basket with odds and ends for the poor children, and went out into the chilly air with a heavy head and a grieved look in her patient eyes.

Can anyone help!!! I am to write about personal experiences on social media, I know what to write but I'm struggling on what to say in the beginning to start it off.

Answers

Answer:

One of the many major social media experiences I have endured is one to do with uninvited photography. I felt targeted after a group of my peers in 8th grade insisted on taking pictures of me - these people would whisper behind my back, and I faced anxiety throughout the entire year, both about the pictures, and the rumors spread like a web behind my back.

This time was unpleasant for me, especially since it brought unwelcomed memories of a time in elementary. My friend, who I believed I could trust, decided to make fun of my performance one day after a game. Despite my efforts, my friend disregarded both my pride, and and our bond. I received total backlash, and I can never forget it.

Along with all the criticism I have received in the past, my self worth has equally degraded. Girls on social media are often fit, blonde, tall, etc. Every quality that makes a person "perfect". These posts started to make me question myself, as I compared them to the likes of me. What if I had the same life as them? Would people still make fun of me the way that they did?

Social media has bestowed a great affect upon me, and many others that have faced similar experiences. Though we are told to ignore these kinds of people, as they are fake, it's hard to think that we could do better, or that we don't have as great a life as them.
