Answer:

Actually,The houses or shelters built by the first English settlers in America were small single room homes. Many of these homes were "wattle and daub" homes. They had wooden frames which were filled in with sticks. The holes were then filled in with a sticky "daub" made from clay, mud, and grass. Rumford understood that the only useful heat generated by a fireplace was radiant heat. The air that the fire heated was mixed with smoke and went up the chimney

The Parthenon reflects the Greeks' quest for perfect harmony, balance, and mathematical proportions. In this it is the perfect a
MAXImum [283]

The correct answer is True

The Parthenon, arguably the most iconic of the ancient Doric temples of the Greeks, was built between 447 and 432 BC. Located on the Acropolis of Athens, for many architects it is one of the first buildings we analyzed when starting our studies. Designed by Ictino and Calícrates, it displays a unique repertoire of architectural elements that can be fully appreciated individually or by the role they play in the formation of a complete and magnificent whole.

Simply described, the 69.5 x 30.9 meter building is erected in a three-step stylobat, with a gable roof raised over a pillar and lintel structure formed by Doric columns - 17 on its sides and 8 on each end - which support an entablature composed of an architrave, a frieze and a cornice. On each porch, triangular pediments with sculptures represent the "Birth of Athena" in the east and the "Contest between Athena and Poseidon" in the west.

Why do you think the Intolerable Acts fueled rather than put out the flames of rebellion?
Liula [17]
The intolerable Acts fueled the American Revolution because the already bad relationship with Britain was made wayyyy worse. Instead of shutting the Americans up it mainly just p*ssed them off more. It was already tough to get by in early colonial times but the intolerable acts made it 1000x worse.
