Answer:

You have not offered any choices, so therefore, I will elaborate on what you have written.  

Based on the idea that he was picking teams means something in the hierarchy of recess.  I am guessing that he is in about the 5th or 6th grade, and would be embarrassed if he chose a girl first instead of his friends.  At this age and at this stage in his development, having boys on his team is much more important than having a girl.  Would this mean that he likes her?  Does he just want her for her talent of being the best batter?  His relationships with his peers that are boys are much more important to him at this time of his life.  I perceive that when he did pick a couple of boys, they agreed TOGETHER that they should get the best batter.  This way it was in the best efforts of the TEAM and not that a boy was picking a girl.

How does the setting shape the writer's portrayal of the plot? Explain, citing details about the historical context. A soldier f
GrogVix [38]

The setting of a story refers to the place and time where the events in a story occurred. The setting of the story, "Soldier for a Crown" is in a ship of redeemed slaves headed to Nova Scotia. The timing of the events was during the American Revolution when some African slaves escaped from their masters to join the British troops. The setting shaped the portrayal of the plot by serving as an exposition into the story.

  • The exposition is the background of a story that the author builds on. In this story by Charles Johnson, the setting serves as a background description of why the slaves were bound to Nova Scotia.

  • It was the period of the American Revolution. Slaves who joined the British troops were rewarded by being freed of slavery.

  • Thus, we see the story begin with a description of the former slaves aboard a ship en route to Nova Scotia.

How did increased trade influence the golden age of islam
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

B. It brought the discovery of the Chinese papermaking process.

Explanation:

With the spread of trade, Islamic countries could get more familiar with the outside world and other nations, influence them, and in turn be influenced by them. The Chinese had one of the biggest influences on them with their invention of paper and writing on it. Now, Islamic religious laws could be written down and paper and spread throughout countries to educate people on their religion.

I don't see how checks or medicine would influence religion, and arabesques already existed in the Islamic world.
