In your understanding, how did language spread from one Proto-Indo-European language to the more than 6,000 languages we speak t

Butoxors [25]

Well, it is like the Biblical story about the Tower of Babylon - in the beginning, there was only one language and all the people in the world spoke it. However, because of many disputes and quarrels, they all separated and created numerous new languages. The same thing happened in the real world (if you don't believe in what the Bible says) - there used to be Proto-Indo-European language, but over time, it developed many new languages as people grew apart and created new nations.

In your local newspaper, you read an editorial supporting a local building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollar

Mrrafil [7]

D. that she may profit from the building project

Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.

Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.

How did Socrates see his role

joja [24]

He proudly believed that he could eradicate evil and that an example of virtue could allow his disciple to apply it himself: I have, as far as I'm concerned, no knowledge that I could impart and could serve that man. However, I believed that by living with him, I could make him better.

Explanation:

Socrates, though not attaching great importance to his work, made philosophy a true science and model of living, and made philosophy a practical knowledge.
He emphasized the importance of continuous learning, beginning with the application of knowledge that is constantly being improved.
He fought against intellectualism as a sterile act, as a Utopian activity. Socrates' philosophy is a philosophy of morality - he established ethics.
