Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo. This province produces great quantities of excellent white incense

, and also dates in great abundance. No grain is grown here except rice, and not much of that; but it is imported from abroad at a big profit. Fish is plentiful, notably tunnies of large size, which are so abundant that two of them can be bought for a Venetian groat. The staple diet consists of rice, meat, and fish. . . . As for the incense of which I have spoken, which grows here in such profusion, the lord buys it for 10 gold bezants a cantar and then sells it to foreign merchants and others for 40 bezants a cantar. The lord of Shihr does this on behalf of the sultan of the province of Aden. For the sultan of Aden has incense bought up throughout his dominions at the price of 10 bezants and afterwards sold at 40 from which he derives an immense profit. Which detail best indicates the author's opinion of the incense that this province produces

PLEASE HELP NEED THIS ASAP ....
Luba_88 [7]

The underlined word in the sentence shows as:

  • Pronoun

<h3>What is a Pronoun?</h3>

While a noun is a name of a person, animal, place, or thing, a pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. In this text, we can see that the object, me, is a person. However, the name of the person is not mentioned directly. So, the word was used in place of the main name.

This goes to say that the object in the question is a noun. Another noun identified in the sentence is the diving coach. This coach is an entity - a person. So, we can also say that the coach is a noun.

Whenever a noun is used in a sentence, the reader should note that it is a reference to an object, a living thing, or a place. For instance, the place that is known as the United States is a noun. The objects, "Pen and Pencil" are also nouns. However, pronouns are the substitutes for nouns, and words such as; me, it, they, you, etc., can serve as pronouns.

Write a short paragraph<br>i) Retro-fitting<br>ii) Minute​
Elenna [48]

Answer:From past earthquakes, multi-story buildings with weak and/or open front wall lines creating a “soft-story” (i.e. buildings with tuck-under-parking) performed poorly and collapsed. The goal of the mandatory retrofit program, under Ordinance 183893 and Ordinance 184081, is to reduce structural deficiencies by the most economical and feasible method. Without proper strengthening, these vulnerable buildings may be subjected to structural failure during and/or after an earthquake.

Buildings that are most vulnerable have been identified with the following criteria:

Consist of 2 or more stories wood frame construction

Built under building code standards enacted before January 1, 1978

Contains ground floor parking or other similar open floor space

The program does not apply to residential buildings with 3 or less units.
