Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

They sound familiar to Billy.

Explanation:

Roald Dahl's short story "The Landlady," tells the unfortunate tale of how Billy Weaver, who was sent to Bath for business. In his eagerness to find a reasonable accommodation for the night, he ended up at the landlady's "Bed and Breakfast".

The weird thing about the lodging was that the landlady made her guests sign the guest-book and then poison them. Afterward, she'd stuff them and keep them as a prized collection. Likewise, Billy was asked to sign the book when he discovered that he felt the names sound so familiar to him. The names "Christopher Mulholland from Cardiff [. . .] Gregory W. Temple from Bristol" all sounded so familiar to him because they had appeared in the newspapers.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

Answer 2

Answer:

The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

Explanation:

Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.

In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.

However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:

1) The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.

or

2) The scientist received high marks because he was brilliant and because he was humorous.

Answers

Answer:

Bonaparte returned to Paris in December 1797 following his successful first Italian campaign and the Peace of Campo Formio as a public hero. He received many distinctions, one of which was his election to the National Institute, an exclusive body of scientists and men of letters. In this unstable period, the Directory employed Bonaparte in a plan to make a direct invasion of England. After a review of these plans, he suggested that an effort be made against her possessions in India might be more successful than a channel crossing. Plans were drawn up to capture Malta and then Egypt in the hopes that the latter occupation would give France control of the lucrative trade routes to the east. The Directory also instructed Bonaparte to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez and improve the situation of the local population. As Egypt was a nominal Turkish possession, foreign minister Talleyrand was to be sent to Constantinople to explain French plans, but in the end he never met with the Sultan.

Swiss gold helped finance the enterprise. Twenty-one demi-brigades marched toward the ports of Toulon, Marseilles, Genoa, Ajaccio, and Civita Vecchia. Admiral Brueys would command the fleet of 300 ships, and Bonaparte would lead the expedition. In keeping with France's hopes to advance the ideals of the revolution, bring prosperity to Egypt (for their own gain as well as the population's), and unlock the secrets of that ancient land, a large number of civilians would also take part, including many men of letters and science, carefully selected by Bonaparte, General Cafarelli, and the scientist Berthollet. They set sail on 19 April 1798. The convoy eluded the Royal Navy, took possession of Malta, continued on and made a landing at Marabout (just west of Alexandria) on 1 July.

Explanation:

AnswerOn July 19, 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier discovers a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles east of Alexandria. The irregularly shaped stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been “dead” for nearly 2,000 years.

When Napoleon, an emperor known for his enlightened view of education, art and culture, invaded Egypt in 1798, he took along a group of scholars and told them to seize all important cultural artifacts for France. Pierre Bouchard, one of Napoleon’s soldiers, was aware of this order when he found the basalt stone, which was almost four feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, at a fort near Rosetta. When the British defeated Napoleon in 1801, they took possession of the Rosetta Stone.

Several scholars, including Englishman Thomas Young made progress with the initial hieroglyphics analysis of the Rosetta Stone. French Egyptologist Jean-Francois Champollion (1790-1832), who had taught himself ancient languages, ultimately cracked the code and deciphered the hieroglyphics using his knowledge of Greek as a guide. Hieroglyphics used pictures to represent objects, sounds and groups of sounds. Once the Rosetta Stone inscriptions were translated, the language and culture of ancient Egypt was suddenly open to scientists as never before.:

Zeus was also known as the father of the gods on Mount Olympus and men.

Explanation:

Answer:

In Greek mythology, Medusa (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Μέδουσα "guardian, protectress")[1] also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. It is in the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses that her story is most deeply elaborated. She was lovely, according to the poem—until she and Poseidon had sex in Athena’s temple.[2] Athena then punished her for this violation, by turning her into the monstrous, stony-glanced creature that we know. Thus those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto,[3] although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto.[4]

Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon[5] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.

According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on an island named Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion. She remained a priestess to Athena after her death and was risen with fresh hair.

Which sentence contains a pronoun without a clear antecedent? After Kara and Maddie run one lap, they will do lunges. Because Troy lost his phone, he could not respond to text messages. Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information. Diego and Liza prepared themselves for a difficult debate.

Answers

The correct answer is Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information.

Explanation:

In sentences, it is common a noun previously mentioned is replaced later using a pronoun such as she, he, they, etc.; this makes the sentence to flow naturally as it avoids repetition of the same noun. For example, in the sentence "Gabriella does not like vanilla ice cream; she prefers chocolate one" the noun Gabriella is later replaced by the pronoun "she". Also, Gabriella is considered as the antecedent.

This does not occur in the sentence "Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information" because there is not an antecedent for the pronoun "they" or there is not mentioned who or what will hand out the packets of information.
