Answer:

The idiom is "skeleton crew" which means the availability of just enough employees to keep the work running.

Explanation:

Idioms are those words or groups of words that suggest or have a meaning which is not deducible from the given word. They are used in expressions which are not literally applicable or which cannot or should not be taken in the literal sense.

In the given sentence, the word 'skeleton crew' is an idiom which suggests that the company suffered a lot, leading to the reduced number of employees. the skeleton crew meant that there are just enough employees or workers to keep the company working. That means that the newspaper is barely manageable, with just the right amount of workers available in the company to do the work needed.

What kind of letters does Elrond see on the map?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

O Moon Letters.

Explanation:

When the dwarves along with Bilbo and Gandalf went to the elves for shelter, they approached Elrond to help him read the 'map'. This map was to lead them to the secret entrance to the kingdom under the mountains that has been 'captured' by the dragon Smaug.

When Elrond saw the map, he recognized it to be written in a kind of letter called "Moon Letters". These letters are a kind of runes that can only be read in the moonlight. This form of letters was invented by the Dwarves and help 'hide' information from outsiders or enemies by presenting a blank page. This makes it impossible for the information to get into the wrong hands and thus, keeping the secret.

What is good side and bad side Mobilphone
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

One good side of having a mobilephone (or giving one to a kid) is that you will have much more contact. If the person with the phone is in danger, they can call their family and/or the police. Without a phone, this may be much harder to do. A downside of a kid having a mobile phone is that they may be exposed to many things on the internet, especially with social media. They could see thing they do not wish to see, they may be bullied, or they may experience jelousy when seeing other people on social media. In my opinion, phones are a very good resource for schoolwork, watching occasional videos, seeing the news, and staying in contact with family and friends, but this is only up to a certain point.
