Answer:
O The extreme cold is more than the man can endure.
Explanation:
Jack London's "To Build A Fire" revolves around the story of a man stuck in a blizzard and his eventual death. The stubborn nature of the man added to his fate, for he overturned the opinions of the old man not to venture in the cold Yukon mountains at that time. And his impulsive nature of moving ahead with his plan so that he will reunite with his friends at the camp led to the fateful journey along the cold freezing mountains.
The setting of the trial, the cold freezing atmosphere became an obstacle for him in his need to reach his destination. He knows for sure that he will <em>"freeze anyway"</em>, for he knows <em>"he had been making a fool of himself, running around like a chicken with its head cut off."</em> And it was this conflict that emerges from the setting that forces the man to accept his fate. He found a new peace of mind, and decided <em>"to sleep off to death"</em>.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is that the extreme cold is too extreme for a man to endure, more than one can endure.</u>
Answer:
Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
Explanation:
The given question is about the text <em>California and Mesopotamia: Similarities and Differences.</em>
The options you were given are the following:
- Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
- Overland transportation at that time was painfully slow and clunky, via simple wheeled pushcarts, or pack animals such as donkeys and camels.
- The canals provided a built-in transportation system for the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples who first settled the place.
- These rivers had many different branches, tributaries, feeding into them, creating a vast network of streams and canals.
The correct option is the first one as it directly states that water transportation helped towns and cities develop faster, making it crucial for the economical development of Mesopotamia. The rest of the options do not.
The second states why overland transportation wasn't the best, why it made things harder. There is nothing about water transportation.
The third simply states that the canals provided the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples with a transportation system. It doesn't say why that's good, unlike the first one.
The fourth would be the worst option as it doesn't include any information about transportation systems.
Answer: C) subordinating conjunction.
Explanation: a subordinating conjunction is a word that joins a dependent or subordinate clause (a phrase that doesn't have complete meaning on its own) with an independent clause (it has complete meaning on its own). There are subordinating conjunctions that show a relationship between two clauses involving a transition of time or place. In this case, "after" is a subordinating conjunction joining the independent clause "Mrs. Jenkins thanked them gratefully" and the subordinate clause "After the police came to her rescue."
