The Code of Hammurabi was the legal system for the entire known world. TRUE FALSE
lisov135 [29]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Here is what I found on the web:

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes, proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone stele (pillar) that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901.

Therefore, it was not enforced upon the entire world!

Happy learnings :)

Which best explains how the use of first-person point of view in "Gumption" contributes to the tone? A. The story gives the read
Troyanec [42]

The correct answer is C.

When we talk about ourselves, our opinions, and the things that happen to us, we generally speak in the first person. This point of view is generally limited in that the audience only experiences what the speaker/narrator himself experiences. In this kind of narrative, you are inside a character’s head, watching the story unfold through that character’s eyes.
