Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone.

Fortunately, the French had made a number of copies of the inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone. They did this by covering the surface of the Stone with printer’s ink, laying a sheet of paper on it, and rolling rubber rollers over it until good, clear impressions were obtained.

Answer:

Here is a prompt. It’s not the answer btw, but it’s something to help you out.

Read this quotation from paragraph 7. Nearly all of Abigail Adams’ biographers mention her will, but they usually move on, overlooking not only the remarkable fact of its existence but its contents.In this quotation, the author means that Adams’ will was -
Abigail Adams

A. shocking because it was not legally binding noteworthy
B. because her husband could ignore it
C. interesting because she was so wealthy
D. impressive because of the recipients of her wealth

Answers

Answer:

D. Impressive because of the recipients of her wealth

Explanation:

Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.

The given quote is from an article Abigail Adams’ Last Act of Defiance written by Woody Holton. Among other things, it tells about Adams' will, where she left her fortune to her female relatives and servants. She didn't include any male relatives or servants, except for her two surviving sons, in the will. This is why the contents of this will were impressive, almost shocking. Her husband, John, could've ignored the will because it wasn't legally binding, but he did everything she had written there.

This is why the correct option is option D.

From the quote from Abigail Adams’ Last Act of Defiance by Woody Holton, in paragraph 7 clearly tells about  Abigail Adam's will.

Abigail adams is the deceased wife of John Adams. In the will, Abigail left her fortune to her female relatives and servants and did not include any male but her two son left, leaving the content of the will impressive.

Her husband could not ignore the will because is was legal and he made sure to adhere to every instruction of her will.

This therefore shows that the correct answer is option D.

Abigail's will was impressive because of the recipient of her wealth.

Answer:

What evil did Gandhi describe as the main point of the letter?

Explanation:

Ghandi wants his countrymen to understand the difference between the British and  British imperialism. He also claims that the hatred his countymen feel will make them fall into a new state of slavery since they will think that Japan is different from Britain. Not feeling hatred is the solution to India’s problems. In fact, they have been able to ask Britain to withdraw because of India’s due part in the critical juncture ; not because of her anger. Ghandi himself does not feel any hatred towards the British or anybody else, even when he is undergoing the most critical moment in his life.

Answers

Answer:

Gladstone asked the shipping company to provide workers.

Explanation:

The authors explain in the provided passage the way things went after the final end of slavery. They state how plantations depended on cheap labor and enslavement before, but that slaves were replaced by Indian people who were workers.

That idea can fully be seen in the sentence part “Gladstone asked it [a shipping company] to provide a hundred workers [...] from India”. It sums up how Gladstone asked for workers, instead of for slaves, for it, which refers to the previously mentioned shipping company. The passage then explains how many workers came with each ship to work for Gladstone.

Both articlesinclude the fact that fact that electic cars are powered by rechargeable batteries. How does"Car Tunes" interpret this fact differently?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the articles for reference, neither the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.

"Car Tunes" can be interpreted this fact differently in that "It states only the benefit of plugging in the battery to power up.".

One of the most important ideas of the articles is that people have to understand the benefits of Eco-friendly machines that do not harm the environment and uses a "green" form of energy that benefits nature.

Traditional forms of energy such as the combustion of oil, fossil fuels, really damage the environment and create air pollution and water pollution. Some scientists think both are direct causes of climate change that is affecting our planet at this precise moment. That is why the planet has to invest more in these kinds of "alternative forms of energy."

In the poem i know why the caged bird sing how does the poet described the world of nature​

Answers

Answer:

The poet described the world of nature in two ways: it's something fun and exciting for the free bird (the white people) while it's something painful and sad for the caged bird (the black people). For example, the first verse shows what the free bird can do with all his freedom. He can enjoy everything around him to the point that he becomes selfish that he "dares to claim the sky." On the other hand, the caged bird feels scared because he doesn't know so much due to his imprisonment. He feels like everything is a nightmare and all he ever wishes for is his freedom.

Explanation:

"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is a poem written by Maya Angelou, a poet who grew up in Arkansas. This poem is related to Maya's autobiography where she wrote all the trauma she encountered from childhood until she grew up. During her time, racism was very common and she was able to experience what it felt like being a "caged bird."

Answer:

Explanation:

I got this question wrong on my test, but this is what my teacher said was the right answer

Answer:

The Iroquois Confederacy was the inspiration for the new American government after the Revolution.

Explanation: At a time when many citizens in Europe were ruled by a monarchy, the Iroquois Confederacy held itself to a democratic form of government.  

The Council of Chiefs, which included 49 leaders from among the five nations, was the center of the new government. For a decision to be approved, all of the chiefs had to agree. If all of them could not agree, then the groups could “cover the fire.” This meant that each nation could decide for themselves what to do about a problem.

According to many historians, the Iroquois Confederacy helped influence some early American leaders about their own government. Some of the Founding Fathers knew about the government of the Six Nations. They were so impressed with it that they borrowed many of its ideas, including that of a democracy with political freedom, representation, and checks and balances on the power of the government.

PLEASE HELLPPPP The town of Madisonville, Texas was hit by a strong storm in late July. Most of the city lost power for several hours, and damage was severe in parts of the city. The Lakeside Cafe, famous for its misspelled sign saying, “Chicken-Fried Stake,” lost its roof in the storm. Amazingly, no employees or customers were injured. John Paxton, who was eating in the restaurant at the time, said, “They told us there was no way to know if it was a tornado or not. Well, I’ve never seen this kind of damage from anything but a tornado.”
Fallen limbs and downed power lines were also common problems across the city, blocking passage down dozens of streets. Crews worked for days without pause to restore power and to cut and haul away large limbs. With many businesses closed until power could be restored, hundreds of local residents found themselves stuck at home without electricity and therefore without air conditioning. Local woman Sally H. was sitting on her front porch, fanning herself with a shoe catalog. “It’s hot,” she said. “Normally, I would enjoy a day off of work, but this isn’t a normal day off.”
The hospital was able to stay open and powered by electricity generators. Furman Simms, working the front desk, said it seemed almost like a normal day. “We saw more people today than usual,” he explained, “but it wasn’t bad. We never ran out of beds. I expected it to be a lot busier.”The reader can infer that hundreds of Madisonville residents were probably
