Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the paragraph, which is the following:
Elizabethans do not understand infection and contagion as we do. It is not that they are completely ignorant as to how illnesses spread—physicians believe they know perfectly well—it is rather that their understanding is very different from ours. The principal ideas underpinning most Elizabethan medical thinking come from Galen, who lived in the second century A.D. Physicians will cite him as an unquestionable authority when they explain to you that your health depends on a balance of the four humors: yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm, and blood. If there is too much choler in your body, you will grow choleric; too much blood and you will be sanguine; too much phlegm and you will be phlegmatic; and too much black bile makes you melancholic. It is from these imbalances that sickness arises.
Answer:
c. It details the belief that bodily humors affect health.
Explanation:
According to the paragraph from "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England," the author Ian Mortimer makes reference to Galen's beliefs, which were spread to the physician world and everyone took for granted. In fact, they spoke about how four humors like yellow bile or choler, black bile, phlegm and blood influenced a person's health and how an unbalanced distribution of them produced sickness.
Answer: the Earth
Explanation:
The astronomer Carl Sagan speaks of the Earth in the Pale Blue Dot. This is perhaps given away by the title which describes the dot as blue which is the same colour as Earth.
Carl Sagan speaks of how the Earth is home to humans who are diverse and believe in many different things such that we are a danger to ourselves. He mentions that it is the only planet that can harbor life at that point and so humans should treasure it and take care of it.
The correct answer is B. Virgil
Explanation:
Virgil was a Roman poet that lived during the period Augustus reigned, who was the first emperor in Rome. This poet is mainly known for his poems the Eclogues and the Georgics that deal with different aspects of agriculture and rural life and the epic poem the Aeneid that tells the story of a warrior called Aeneas. These literary works made him one of the greatest poets in Rome during the historical period he lived and even centuries after his death as his poems were widely studied during late antiquity in Rome and during the Middle Ages. This means, the poet that was not an ancient Greek poet was Virgil as he was born in the Rome Empire and developed all his literary works in it, also, other poets such as Sappho, Virgil and Homer are part of the Greek literature and therefore they are all Greek poets.
True because a persuasion should be persuasive- or CONVINCING- so this would be true. I hope this helped! :)
