<span>I can't say I know much about the history of Buddhism, but I think I know something about the practice itself. Christianity is a religion of action - a religion that speaks out and acts out. It's a religion that goes to war and asserts itself to gain followers and prove points. From what I understand about Buddhism, it is a 'passive' religion. It is a system of belief that stands on meditation and response rather than reaction. I haven't really heard of any Buddhist groups starting wars, fighting in battles, and singing in victory. Their triumph comes in quiet ways whereas it seems that Christianity triumphed in loud and obvious ways.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
I looked it up to see what kind of a book it was and I read only the publisher's blub.
A: not a choice. I think you have to put it in the context of the 1870s or 80s. The author is little beyond that time. If it were me, I'd pick the falling in love answer. I like modern women's literature, not because it plays on the heartstrings (which it does) but because it presents women's grief and dilemma pretty honestly. But I think the 1870s especially dealing with a minority's grief would not chose this as a topic -- certainly not a serious one. So much as I would choose A, I doubt the novel would.
B: I don't think I'd choose B either. Victoriano sounds like an honorable man to me. He sympathizes with Clarence's problem and offers him a reasonable assurance that the women would not be present. From what we can gather, that turns out to be true. Clarence does not seem to have met anyone.
C: Trite though the detail is, it should happen.
D: I do not see Victoriano as the bad guy. I don't sense betrayal in him. I think I'll choose D as well.
E. I thought this already happened.
(1) They showed how mathematics and measurement could be used in scientific investigation.
(2) B. In 1616, the church warned Galileo not to defend the ideas of Copernicus. Galileo's observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe
(3) B He knew that the planets revolved, but he did not believe they revolved around the Earth
(4) B) The Church and God were no longer seen as the reason why everything happened the way it did.
(5) A) Ptolemy's system no longer seemed to work with that scientists were observing, and scientists began to look for other theories.
It was an agreement written by Henry Clay over the new Missouri territory that decided whether it would be a slave or free state. It was passed in 1820. ... It was needed because if Missouri became a state then the south would hold majority voting in the south and thus off setting the senate.
