Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.' Toward the setting of the eighth sun, I came to the banks of the great river.

It was half-a-day's journey after I had left the god-road-we do not use the god-roads now for they are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going. A long way off, I had seen the water through trees but the trees were thick. At last, I came out upon an open place at the top of a cliff. There was the great river below, like a giant in the sun. It is very long, very wide. It could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. Its name is Ou-dis-sun, the Sacred, the Long. No man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. It was magic and I prayed. Which details from the text best support the idea that the narrator is cautious in this new setting? Select two options. 'They are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going.' 'There was the great river below, like a giant in the sun. It is very long, very wide.' 'It could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. Its name is Ou-dis-sun, the Sacred, the Long.' 'Toward the setting of the eighth sun, I came to the banks of the great river.' 'No man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. It was magic and I prayed.'

'They are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going.'  AND  'No man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. It was magic and I prayed.'

In the first quote we see that the narrator is cautious because he talks of the god-roads falling apart. He says that "the forest is safer going". These elements of this quote show us that he is taking care. The second quote shows how rare it is for the river to be seen in his tribe. He says that it "was magic" and that he prayed. One can assume that he is praying because he is in the presence of magic and he is being cautious about what may happen next.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

You looked in the dictionary and saw that Carl did not understand the word correctly.

Explanation:

The word "disseminate" does not mean "to listen" as Carl understood it, but it does mean the act of spreading something over an object or region. This word is associated with the act of semar, that is, spreading seeds on a land. In this regard, this word takes on the meaning of expelling something in an external environment that can be large or small. This word can also be a synonym for the word "disclose".

Citrus2011 [14]

Hello. This question requires a personal answer, where you must present your own opinions about the educational system. However, to help you out, I'll show you how I would answer that question. I hope this answer can serve as a model for your answer.

From my point of view, our current educational system has not been effective in preparing students for life. This is because our educational system is very traditional, and uses a structure where students are motivated to memorize concepts in order to get a good grade on the tests. This act of memorizing is very harmful to students, as these concepts are quickly forgotten after the tests are administered. Our educational system has failed to stimulate debate and discussion about the issues presented in the classroom. These debates and discussions allow students to be more participatory and learn the concepts rather than memorize them. Learning the concepts is much more beneficial because it allows them to remain with the student forever.
