Answer:

The correct answer is "They are trusting".

Explanation:

The short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"  (also known as "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County") by Mark Twain is narrated as a retelling what a bartender heard about the gambler Jim Smiley.  By talking about what a bartender heard, the narrator could be easily labeled as a trusting person. Jim Smiley is a trusting person as well, which could be noted in the story by how is he fooled by a stranger and had to pay a $40 wager for it.

What makes 3D printing more efficient than traditional methods?
mr Goodwill [35]

3D printing is incredibly resource efficient since the only material consumed is what passes under the laser (or through the extruder, etc.), whereas traditional manufacturing requires the use of extra materials (molds for injection molding, scraps for perforated sheet metal assembly, etc.)

Answer:The uni trimester ended while leaves still clung to the trees. Betsie found herself missing the crunching sound of the fallen leaves as she travelled home, the audible sound of autumn weather that usually meant it was holiday time.

Elaine greeted her daughter at the door. A candle burned on the fireplace, it resembled a small amount of warmth yet to come.

Arthur had gone to collect wood, Elaine told Betsie. “He’s losing it. I’m over him. I know we had you late and all, and it is harder I guess when you have a child at a late age but it’s not you that worries me. You are fine!”

Elaine plonked her rear down on the floral armchair, it rocked a little then came back to centre – she didn’t flinch when the hot tea soaked her leg.

It reminded Betsie of a time when she watched her mother push material underneath the foot of the sewing needle. The chain roared while Elaine’s fingers pressed the material. Then she watched as her mother’s finger slipped underneath the foot, punctured by the sharp end of the needle which went all the way through her finger. Elaine didn’t flinch, she finished running that edge, then licked her finger between her thin lips before changing the edge around. Betsie had stared at her mother in wonder.

“I don’t not love Arthur but I don’t like him.” Elaine sipped her tea and it spilled over her chin on to her knitted woollen cardigan.

The candle flickered against the wall above the fire.

“Jane told me, you know young Jane, the teacher next door? She told me that she saw Arthur at the car out front and you know what he said to her? He said ‘I thought I saw a blonde girl walking towards me and I’m blind enough that I couldn’t see her until she was on top of me.’ Then he got in his car and drove off! I’ve told him not to drive. But you know.”

“Mum, cars have always been Arthur’s passion.”

Elaine’s eyes flickered.

Arthur appeared at the arched entry to the lounge room. “You’re near the sex candle. Cost me a lot of sex, that candle!”

“Arthur! Your daughter has come home.”

Arthur giggled. “Whoops! How are you dear?”

“Good dad.”

“Come out back and I’ll show you the beast.”

“New car dad?”

“Old car-new engine!”

“Great!”

Arthur and Betsie left Elaine and the candle flickering in the lounge room.

In the shed they examined a beautiful old Willy’s Jeep with a motor cradled in the bonnet, still chained up on the hoist.

“Now darling,” he turned to his daughter. “I know what you’re thinking. Another car! This old cob can’t deserve another car, can he? But with your mum and all, it’s been hard. Her dementia is getting worse and, well, I need some space.”

Arthur’s eyes flickered.

“I do love your mum. It’s just that, sometimes I don’t like her.”

The word renaissance means rebirth. In what way was the renaissance a rebirth? Identify three key ways that thinking or attitude
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Renaissance describes the European cultural epoch in the period of upheaval from the Middle Ages to modern times in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was characterized by an effort to revive the cultural achievements of ancient Greece and Rome. Starting from the cities of northern Italy, the artists and scholars of the Renaissance influenced the countries north of the Alps with their innovative painting, architecture, sculpture, literature and philosophy, albeit in different ways.

Europe had already looked back to antiquity in the Middle Ages, but important ancient texts were only rediscovered and made accessible in the late Middle Ages. The ancient state was studied in Renaissance humanism.

During the Renaissance, re-explored ancient art, literature, philosophy and everyday life began to be re-examined. Renaissance culture perceived itself as a rebirth of ancient culture, which does not mean, however, that the development of Renaissance human thought was limited to the reminder of the old.  The era was marked by a move away from religion-centered values ​​towards a people-centered worldview. It was characteristic to discuss and strive for beauty. In the past, the criteria for the goodness of art had been based on what was right, and that right was superior to man.
