Think about the ideas of the pre-Socratic philosophers. Do you agree with any of their ideas? Why or why not?

Answer:

Presocratic philosophers are the Western thinkers preceding Socrates (c. 469-c. 399 B.C.E.) but including some thinkers who were roughly contemporary with Socrates, such as Protagoras (c. 490-c. 420 B.C.E.). The application of the term “philosophy” to the Presocratics is somewhat anachronistic, but is certainly different from how many people currently think of philosophy. The Presocratics were interested in a wide variety of topics, especially in what we now think of as natural science rather than philosophy. These early thinkers often sought naturalistic explanations and causes for physical phenomena. For example, the earliest group of Presocratics, the Milesians, each proposed some material element ¾ water, air, the “boundless,” as the basic stuff either forming the foundation of, or constituting, everything in the cosmos.

Such an emphasis on physical explanations marked a break with more traditional ways of thinking that indicated the gods as primary causes. The Presocratics, in most cases, did not entirely abandon theistic or religious notions, but they characteristically posed challenges to traditional ways of thinking. Xenophanes of Colophon, for example, thought that most concepts of the gods were superficial, since they often amount to mere anthropomorphizing. Heraclitus understood sets of contraries, such as day-night, winter-summer, and war-peace to be gods (or God), while Protagoras claimed not to be able to know whether or not the gods exist. The foundation of Presocratic thought is the preference and esteem given to rational thought and argumentation over mythologizing. This movement towards rationality and argumentation would pave the way for the course Western thought.

Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim? "A plantation was not a new technology but, rather, a new way of organizing planting, growing, cutting, and refining a crop." "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets." "Since one cannot live on sugar, the crop grown on plantations could not even feed the people who harvested it." "The mill was right next to the crop, so that growing and grinding took place in the same spot."

Will give brainliest for the first best answer! Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.

And only now—a solid, panic-stricken, gut-wrenching, heart-palpitating ten minutes by the clock but feeling like an eternity later—did it sink in for John Coursen, Tom Kelly, and a lot of the other Grumman folks who had poured years of their lives into building the lunar module: Their baby was on the moon. Let the cheering begin!


When the lunar module lands at 4:18 p.m. EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remain. Armstrong radios "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." Mission control erupts in celebration as the tension breaks, and a controller tells the crew "You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we're breathing again."

What information is presented in both excerpts?

Both excerpts give information about the exact time the lunar module sets down on the moon.
Both excerpts give information about the amount of fuel remaining when the lunar module lands.
Both excerpts give information about Armstrong’s communication when the lunar module lands.
Both excerpts give information about the moment when the lunar module lands on the moon.
