People learned to tell time, count days, predict seasons, and tell direction by studying the blank?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Shadow.

Explanation:

Predicting the time, days, seasons, and directions by studying the shadow is one of the oldest form of predicting the time. Before clock was invented, people used to determine the time of the day, cardinal directions, seasons by studying the shadow formed by the position of the sun.

People can determine the time or what season is it by observing the length of the shadow formed by the position of the sun. People used to determine the time with the help of sundials before the clock was invented. The shadows will be longer at the beginning and at the end of the day and shorter in the middle of the day.

So, the correct answer is shadow.

What literary device is most prominent in this excerpt from Williams’s poem, “The Widow’s Lament in Springtime”?
“though they were my joy / formerly, today I notice them / and turn away forgetting.”

imagery
metaphor
foreshadowing
antithesis

Answers

Answer:

the correct option is D: Antithesis

Explanation:

An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.

"Though they were my joy"....then he adds formerly thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:

"today I notice them..." then he adds "and turn away forgetting" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.

Woolly mammoths sparks debate over cloning

What reason does the author provide for why some scientists believe the woolly mammoth should be cloned? Cite a piece of evidence from the article.

Answers

Answer:

The reason that author provided that why some scientists believe that they should clone a wolly mammoth is because they want to learn about this extinct mammal.

Explanation:

"Woolly mammoths sparks debate over cloning" is an article written by Joyce Grant. The article speaks about the debate of scientists over cloning an extinct mammal, a wolly mammoth.

A Wolly Mammoth is an extinct species that belonged to the family of elephants. This species lived during the ice age some 10,000 years ago.

The scientists have found a carcass of a wolly mammoth in ice on a remote island of Northern Russia. The scientists have studied its blood and tissue samples and wondered if they could get a complete DNA of the mammal, so that they could clone the mammal and study it.

The reason author provided in the article for the scientists who believe that the mammal should be cloned is:

"Many scientists think they could learn a lot more about the species if they could study a living example."

be
A B C D E F
cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds
a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky
a volcano erupting
the narrator climbing a fig tree as a young girl
the cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree
the narrator being the granddaughter of a god

Answers

Answer:

A. Cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds .

B. A giant tree connecting the earth and the sky .

E. The cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree .

F. The narrator being the granddaughter of a god.

Explanation:

Mythical features in any form of literature may be identified by the presence of features such as the presence of gods, supernatural beings, connections between them, the out-of-the-world setting, or any form of unrealistic features. Such events which include 'abnormal' things, something which is not possible in the human world, are all features of a myth.

And in "The Beginning of the Maasai", there are several features that seem to point to the mythical aspect of the whole story. The cows flying in the air, a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky, cattle walking down a tree to reach earth, and the narrator being the granddaughter of a god all seem out of bounds for a humanistic aspect of reality. Thus, all these features present in the text make it a mythical one.  

Thus, the correct options are A, B, E, and F.
