According to the article what happened before ptolemy wrote his almagest

Throughout history, humans have looked to the stars for answers. It's likely that stargazing gave rise to the science of astronomy, possibly the oldest science known to humankind. As civilizations advanced, they became more dependent on understanding the patterns and cycles of celestial bodies. Farmers relied upon astrological calendars to plant and harvest their crops; sailors steered across vast oceans using celestial maps. Modern astronomy owes much to the ancient civilizations of the past. In fact, the roots of astronomy can be traced to somewhere around 4000 B.C., when the oldest astronomical observations ever recorded took place in both Egypt and Central America. Also important were the ancient civilizations of China and Mesopotamia. They developed solar and lunar calendars that date

back to 2000 B.C. Equally, the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through

a process of logic and observation. Ptolemy's Almagest, written around 150 A.D., forever affixed the mathematical approach to astronomy. However, he theorized that the solar system was geocentric, meaning that the Earth was the center of the solar system. Hundreds of years later, during the Renaissance, a Polish-born astronomer named Copernicus published his On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres in 1543 A.D. In this work he held that the solar system was in fact heliocentric, meaning that the Sun—not the Earth—was the center of the solar system. More than a century later, in 1687 A.D., Sir Isaac Newton, a founder of modern astronomy, published his theory of universal gravitation. Not until the twentieth century would the scientific community again alter its understanding of the universe through the works of Albert Einstein.

According to the article, what happened before Ptolemy wrote his Almagest?

A. Albert Einstein changed universal theory in the twentieth century.

B. Sir Isaac Newton altered universal theory in the seventeenth century.

C. Copernicus wrote his On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres.

D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics

Answer:

D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics.

Explanation:

From the article, it can be seen that before the Plotemy wrote his Almagest, "The Greeks formed am approach to science based on mathematics."

This is evident when the article says "the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through a process of logic and observation."

Based on the paragraph, why does it seem that Swift wanted to help the Irish?
WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

"Swift's Ireland was a country that had been effectively controlled by England for nearly 500 years. The Stuarts had established a Protestant governing aristocracy amidst the country's relatively poor Catholic population. Denied union with England in 1707 (when Scotland was granted it), Ireland continued to suffer under English trade restrictions and found the authority of its own Parliament in Dublin severely limited. Swift, though born a member of Ireland's colonial ruling class, came to be known as one of the greatest of Irish patriots. He, however, considered himself more English than Irish, and his loyalty to Ireland was often ambivalent in spite of his staunch support for certain Irish causes. The complicated nature of his own relationship with England may have left him particularly sympathetic to the injustices and exploitation Ireland suffered at the hands of its more powerful neighbor."

Read the passage from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients. Bacon's purpose is to explain what O Chaos is: O Love is. This Love is introduced without any parent at all; only, that some say he was an egg of Night. And himself out of Chaos begot all things, the gods included. The attributes which are assigned to him are in number four: he is always an infant; he is blind; he is naked; he is an archer. There was also another Love, the youngest of all the gods, son of Venus, to whom the attributes of the elder are transferred, and whom in a way they suit. O Night is. O Venus is.​

Well, three or four months run along, and it was well into the winter now. I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway.

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.
'Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.'
Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph?
A.) The paragraph describes the purpose of laws in a community but lacks the use of any text connections.
B.) The paragraph describes a simple comparison between a family protest and a community protest.
C.) The paragraph uses categories of comparison to judge whether individual or group rights are most important.
D.) The paragraph uses the analogy of a family is to choosing dinner as a community is to balancing rights and safety.
