WITH PROPITIOUS FORTUNE: It was resolved by the priests of all the temples in the land to increase greatly the existing honors o
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

King Ptolemy will be  honored with an image in all temples.

Explanation:

The given passage mentions how King Ptolemy was honored by the people. Not only did the priests decide to honor him, but also <em>"his parents and his ancestors"</em>.

It was decided that they will <em>"set up in the most prominent place of every temple, an image of the EVER-LIVING King PTOLEMY, THE BELOVED OF PTAH, THE GOD EPIPHANES EUCHARISTOS"</em>. This image was to be set beside <em>"the principal god of the temple, handing him the weapon of victory"</em>. The whole passage only talks about how this honor will be made or done. Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
fiasKO [112]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied

============================================================

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.

At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.

So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
