Answer:

...an alphabet, a set of visual symbols or characters that represent the elementary sounds of a spoken language, require only twenty to thirty easily learned signs.

Explanation:

<u>An alphabet is comprised of graphemes or letters, which represent a </u><u>sound</u><u> unit or phoneme in the spoken language.</u> The letters in an alphabet usually present a specific order. Unlike visual language that uses signs and symbols, alphabets are simpler to remember and to learn. Instead of memorizing hundreds, sometimes even thousands of symbols, countries that have adopted an alphabet can use a small amount of letters to represent all the words used in their languages.

What role did steam technology play in the industrail revoluation
Ulleksa [173]

Steam power  originally developed slowly over a period of several hundred years until it reached to actual practical application at the beginning of the industrial  revolution. The steam engine was one of the most important technologies of the industrial revolution. It was a simple device that used boiling water to create mechanical motion to be utilized in useful work.

Early mills used water power to operate and had to be located near running water such as a river which would freeze in winter and the water was not available, also in dry spells. Flooding would also stop operations.  But by using a steam engine, a factory could be located anywhere and could operate the whole year round.

From mines to mills, steam engines found many applications in a variety of industries, improving productivity and technology such as Trevithick's high pressure engine that revolutionized transport. Steam engines found their way to boats, railways, farms and road vehicles.
