Answer:

developing the phonograph and motion camera

Explanation:

Thomas Edison was an American inventor born on February 11, 1841 in Milan, Ohio. Throughout his life he patented 1,093 inventions.

His first great invention was the phonograph in 1877, it recorded sounds creating indentations on a drum wrapped within a foil. The first thing he recorded was his voice saying "Mary had a little lamb."

Later, he worked with William K. L. Dickson, they wanted to link the phonograph with a zoetrope wich strung together series of images giving the sensation they moved. They succeeded and constructed a motion picture camera wich they named "The Kinetograph" in 1891.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

There are three main reasons for European Exploration. Them being for the sake of their economy, religion and glory. They wanted to improve their economy for instance by acquiring more spices, gold, and better and faster trading routes. Also, they really believed in the need to spread their religion, Christianity. The English colonized North America for several different economic reasons. Basically, they found goods that had a market in Europe. The English that settled New England found timber that was great for building ships.  The Spanish support exploration and colonization because their motivations for colonial expansion were trade and the spread of the Christian faith through indigenous conversions. The Spanish explored areas to the north, looking for a Fountain of Youth, and landed on a peninsula on the coast of North America, which he named Florida. Spain's empire was complete and fleets of ships were carrying the plunder back to Spain.

Explanation:

The opportunity to make money was one of the primary motivators for the colonization of the New World. The Virginia Company of London established the Jamestown colony to make a profit for its investors. Europe's period of exploration and colonization was fueled largely by necessity.

In Ernest Hemingway’s "In Another Country," how does the way in which the soldiers treat the narrator when they learn the truth
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B.  It emphasizes his desire to fit in with those around him.

Explanation:

The narrator in Ernest Hemingway’s "In Another Country," was an injured American soldier whose name is assumed to be Nick, and who was described as receiving treatment for his injured leg in a hospital along with three other Italian soldiers. These soldiers were resented by the people in the society because they had medals. After their treatment, the four soldiers reclined at Cafe Cova were they drank and discussed.

While talking about their medals, the Italian soldiers realized that the American soldier received his own medal, not because he was brave, but because he was an American. This made them change their attitude towards him. The American soldier was afraid of death but liked to believe that he would have still been as brave as the Italian soldiers. This portrayed him as someone who liked to fit in with others. The American soldier's friendship with the Italian soldiers became cold after this realization. So, he became drawn to a fifth soldier who had no medal, and a more senior soldier who took no delight in bragging about his bravery.
