The prefix "de-" means to deduct, or remove from. So, de- + attach, would mean to remove something from holding on to another thing. Apply that to the situation, and the pedal straps "detach", meaning they stop holding on to his ankle. Petal straps connect Andre's foot to his pedals, but when he falls, they disconnect, and the strap no longer holds his foot to the petal. Basically the word detach means to release hold of his foot, so the petals no longer hold his foot to his bike.

The answer to your question would be that in the sentence above the word "detach" means the following: separate from.

"Detach" means "to disengage (something or part of something) and remove it. It also means "leave or separate oneself from".  The fact is that pedal straps increase the efficiency of your pedalling by allowing you to pull you up as well as down.  They hold your feet tightly. Therefore, if you fall, it is necessary for them to detach themselves to avoid any fracture. Taking all this into account, it can be said that, in this case, "detach" means "separate from" because that is what the pedals do when the person falls.

The<br>(quality) shopkeeper said,<br><br>​
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).

In direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.

As per the rule, when any sentence is rewritten in indirect speech, can is converted to could. And the first person changes to the third person as per the subject. 'I' changes to 'he' and 'you' changes to 'him'. Therefore option C is the correct answer.

Answer: Please mark as brainliest if this helps

Have a good day

Explanation:

1. The only reason schools are required to teach history is because if you don't know your history you are doomed to repeat it. It is so very easy for events from the past to come to the presents if people do not learn their history. History can repeat itself in some extreme ways such as slavery or 9/11, or it could repeat itself in some very simple ways. If you really open your eyes to the world we are living in today you would notice that history has already started repeating itself. Discrimination and hate crimes are just a few ways that history has been repeating itself. Overall, I think this quote has a strong and outstanding message through the words you read, and if you cannot learn your history you are eventually at one point, going to be doomed to repeat it.

2. Yes, in everybody's eyes you would see Adolf Hitler as the only terrible person, but the hate and discrimination went much farther than just Hitler alone. Hitler had a whole army working for him. Of course he was the person to make all the decisions, but most of the people in that army made their own decision and support Hitlers wrong doings. Hitlers master plan was basically to cleanse the world of all the Jews in the world, and he didn't ever sugarcoat anything, he brutally murdered 6 million Jews while the non Jewish citizens were cheering him on and supporting them. He was a ruthless person that had no heart and ended his life on his own by shooting himself, due to him not wanting to be charged for war crimes.
