History is filled with tragic examples of cities going up in flames. Among the first recorded major fire disasters is the burnin

g of Rome in July of 64 A.D. A fire broke out in one of the wooden shops near the Circus Maximus, a large stadium. The fire raged for six days before it was brought under control. Then it started again and burned for three more days. Accounts of the time report that strong winds fanned the flames. In the narrow streets, the fire spread quickly, causing many deaths.
The role of Emperor Nero is a side story to this great fire. According to a famous myth, “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” He was accused of being outside the city, playing music while watching the fire. Although Nero was known as an entertainer, the thought that he might sing a ballad of Rome’s destruction at such a time seems unlikely. In fact, Nero was hailed for his response to the fire. His actions included opening his royal gardens and surviving public buildings to the homeless. He also directed the rebuilding of Rome. Following the fire, builders relied on marble and stone for rebuilding the city.

What can you conclude about the large number of deaths in the Rome fire?


Emperor Nero was away from the city and unable to help people escape.

The shops burned quickly, and people had a hard time leaving the city.

People were lost in their own neighborhoods.

It was a hot summer day, and people were asleep.

Answer:

The logical answer is "The shops burned quickly, and people had a hard time leaving the city."

Explanation:

Nero wasn't unable to help people escape, he is often accredited to burning the city. So it is unlikely it was the first one.

People would could get lost due to damaged buildings or fire, but the second answer says that more clearly.

People don't usually sleep during the day- plus, the article does not mension people sleeping.

Answer:

The shops burned quickly, and people had a hard time leaving the city.

Explanation:

From the given passage, we learn about the fires that led to the deaths of numerous people, even during ancient times. The speaker even states that there are lots of examples available from history about deaths due to fire. But as far as the deaths of many people in Rome is concerned, there is no real evidence to show that Nero was unable to help the people. Rather, he "<em>opened his royal gardens and survive public buildings for homeless people"</em>.

Also, there is no proof or mention of the people getting lost in their neighborhoods, nor any indication that they were sleeping. The best answer is that the shops burned quickly which gave a limited time for people to escape. This can be deduced from the line "<em>In the narrow streets, the fire spread quickly, causing many deaths</em>. "

charle [14.2K]

In The Canterbury Tales, pilgrims relate the stories on their way to the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury-

In "The Pardoner's story", Chaucer openly ridicules religious practices of the time.

firstly, the Pardoner is a fraudster who doesn't even hide it. He brazenly talks about all of his techniques of tricking humans into paying him money. much like the Catholic Church itself (on the time), he capitalizes on people's private and maximum irrational fear of eternal dam.country, pardoning their sins in exchange for huge sums of cash. He does not even care if his customers are single mothers, widows, or other poor people. He contains round fake relics which he sells to people. most importantly, he doesn't hide it - and this is another crucial issue of church practices which Chaucer criticizes via his work.

The finest irony is that the Pardoner tells a tale with a moral that greed is the basis of all evil (as he repeats a couple of instances). His story is about three reckless hedonists who are looking for loss of life, most effective to find gold over which they'll fight every other and die. Chaucer uses this tale inside a story to satirize the church's hypocrisy.

Which three sentences correctly use parallel structure?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answers: 1. When things go wrong, Carl tends to brood for hours and to blame others. 3. The school was closed not only because of the snow and ice but also because of the lack of heat. 4. The ice was a greater problem for the electrical power company than for the natural gas company.

Explanation:

Parallel structures in sentences consist of the repetition of a grammatical pattern. This makes sentences have grammatical consistency and flow naturally. Below, I analyze each of the sentences:

1. When things go wrong... This sentence shows parallelism because the elements "to blame others" and "to brood for hours" have the same grammatical structure ( to + verb.)

2. After watching some Tv... This sentence lacks parallelism because the first verbs are in -ing form but the last one "read" does not follow this pattern.

3. The school was closed... This sentence uses parallel structure because it includes the expressions not only/but also (correlative conjunctions) that show grammatical consistency.

4. The ice was a greater problem... This sentence uses the preposition "for" to introduce two different details, which shows a parallel structure.
