Which four phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?
The name, Ptolemy, appears to have been a common one in Egypt in those days. The time at which he lived is fixed by the fact that his first
recorded observation was made in 127 AD, and his last in 151 AD. When we add that he seems to have lived in or near Alexandria, or to use his
own words, "on the parallel of Alexandria," we have said everything that can be said so far as his individuality is concerned.
Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him.
He Incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories. His speculations, even when they were, as we
now know, quite erroneous, had such an astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts of nature that they commanded universal assent. Even in
these modern days we not unfrequently find lovers of paradox who maintain that Ptolemy's doctrines not only seem true, but actually are true.
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
Which four phrases from Robert Stawell Ball's "Great Astronomers" convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?
A. so far as his individual is concerned
B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy
C. gathered up the wisdom
D. illuminated it with his theories
E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts
Answer:
The four phrases which convey a commendable tone are:
B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy
C. gathered up the wisdom
D. illuminated it with his theories
E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual fact
Explanation:
Robert Stawell Ball (1840-1913) was an Irish astronomer who, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, is talking about another astronomer, Ptolemy (100 CE-170 CE). Ptolemy was Egyptian of Greek descent. Besides being an astronomer, he was also a geographer and a mathematician.
The adjective "commendable" refers to something or someone that deserves to be praised. If we are looking for phrases with a commendable tone, we are looking for phrases that praise someone. In that case, it is easy to see that phrases B, C, D, and E are the correct ones. The word choice - "greatest", "wisdom", "illuminated", "astonishing verisimilitude" - reveals the favorable opinion Ball has of Ptolemy's work.
Which figures of speech appear in this excerpt from John Keats’s “Ode to Autumn”?
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
simile
personification
alliteration
allusion
apostrophe
thank y’all and may God be with y’all!
Answer:
Personification is used in the first line "Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?". Here he is comparing autumn to a person hanging around outside the store. Apostrophe is also used. Alliteration is used in the statement "winnowing wind".
At the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream, couples are paired-off. Match each
woman with her mate at the end of the play.
You may refer back to the play, if needed.
Demetrius
1. Hermia
Lysander
2. Helena
3. Titania
Oberon
Answer:
1. Hermia → Lysander
2. Helena → Demetrius
3. Titania → Oberon
Explanation:
The above is correct. I have been able to match each woman with her mate at the end of the play.
Lysander was mistaken to be Demetrius and was placed under Puck's spell which led him to fall in love with Helena. But eventually, the spell over Lysander was reversed and Lysander finally marries Hermia at the end.
Also, Demetrius and Helena ended up marrying each other. Demetrius later said that he wasn't in love with Hermia but with Helena.
Titania is the wife of Oberon.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play written by William Shakespeare.

"a person's income reflects his or her value to society" disagree or agree
Answer:
I totally disagree with this statement. The value of a person is not determined by the amount of economic income that he or she generates, but on the contrary, by the value that this person provides to society, whether this value is economic or not. Thus, there are people whose contribution to society does not have a measure in economic terms but in cultural, social or humanitarian terms that give the individual great importance in the social framework, as for example the case of people who contribute to charity, or spiritual or social leaders.

not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.

slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a

Answer:
O Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" is about the death of Caesar at the hands of Brutus, a close ally, and Cassius who conspired against the man. The play also deals with themes of greed, power, loyalty, appearance vs. evil, etc.
In the given monologues of both Brutus and Antony at the death of Caesar, their main point is expressed through the use of rhetorical questions. While Brutus explains his motive in giving a hand to the conspirators for the murder, Antony uses his speech to portray an image of Caesar counterclaiming Brutus's point.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Proposal 2: A great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. The softball team at my school raised over $400 at their car wash last year! The car wash could be held in the library parking lot on a Saturday morning. You could ask local high school students to volunteer to wash the cars. That would be a great way to get students involved with the library. It takes two or three volunteers to wash a car quickly, so you would need at least ten volunteers. You could charge around ten dollars per car. Even people who are not very interested in reading like to have a clean car, so you would get a lot of people to stop by who might not otherwise come to a library fundraiser.
Answer:
Explanation:
Im not sure what the question is but i think holding a car wash is a great idea.
