Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why does MacGregor begin the chapter on the slit drum with facts about Horatio Herbert Kitchener, would be: To make the reader wonder how the slit drum helped make Kitchener famous.

Explanation:

"A History of The World in 100 Objects" is both a radio program from the BBC, and a book from British Museum´s directior, Neil MacGregor in which, through a selected group of 100 objects present in the Museum, the history of the world is told and joined together. It is of great interest the way that MacGregor not only narrates about these wonderful objects, all of which ended up in British hands, but also the span of history they portray, showing the importance of the hand of England in maintaining such historical artifacts.

MacGregor also ties each of the objects to historical moments and characters in English history, and one such object is the slit drum, an artifact from Sudan that was found and presented to Queen Victoria by Horatio Herbert Kitchener.

The tying of these two: the historical slit drum, and Kitchener allow the reader of MacGregor´s book not only wonder, but guess, how such an artifact, that could still not be dated when Kitchener found it, give him such fame. He could not have known then that what had been discovered, marked such an important historical moment and that he would become a central figure.

You had a bad meal at a restaurant. Service was slow and the food was terrible.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Hello,

Today I visited your restaurant and orderded the signature truffle pasta, wagyu beef steak, and a bottle of 23 year old wine along with your famous color changing ice cream. Since I spent over $300, I was expecting excellent service and a satisfied stomach. But the steak and pasta arrived extremely late and the food was already cold by then. The chees had already soldified and the steak was still a little cold in the inside. I called the waiter named Jean and he looked at me as if I was a dirty peice of gum on his shoe. I wanted him to send the food back to the chef and warm the food up again politly, but he would give me dirty looks and just walked away. I was appalled and disgusted. After 30 minutes later, I got another waiter to send the food back but after it was warmed up, it was even worse.  The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was way to salty. The beef had a stench as if it wasn't cleaned well in the beginning. I request that you fire Jean, the rude waiter. I also request you to return the money I paid.

Thanks,

A extremely dissapointed customer

<h2> Pt 1.</h2>

Sharing an apartment with a family member (or two) can be both a relief and a cause of stress. In the end, your experience living with a family roommate depends largely on the character of that family member and you. If you get along with the family member, you may find living with him or her much more comfortable than living with a stranger or even a friend. When you know and trust a family member who lives with you, you can be yourself around your roommate and you probably won’t have to worry about stolen items or finding out your roommate is a different person to live with than he or she is to hang out with. If you’re living with a sibling, a cousin or even a parent, it’s easy to fall into the habit of falling behind in your payments. After all, “families stick together,” so some irresponsible apartment dwellers might believe their family roommate can cover a “month or two” of rent payment, which turns into a few months more. Too afraid to cause family drama, the responsible roommate let him or herself be taken advantage of.

<h2>Pt 2.</h2>

Strong and positive family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm and loving family.

But positive family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too.  They:

  • help children feel secure and loved, which gives them confidence to explore their world, try new things and learn
  • make it easier for your family to solve problems, resolve conflict and respect differences of opinion
  • give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

I will put the rest in the comments since there is a typing limit, but I hope this helps and I always appreciate Brainliest! ;)

An outline about high school student dress code
anastassius [24]

Answer:

According to the school, dress codes can limit acts of violence, allow students to concentrate on school activities, make it easier for students to get ready for school every day, limit the distractions that may arise in the classroom, help school administrators easily spot trespassers (in the situation where a school would have to go into lockdown)

The purpose of a dress code is to provide guidance to students and parents as to appropriate attire for school and at any school function. In addition, the dress code is a primary means of helping students learn a skill, which is required for success in getting and keeping employment linked to attire.
