Well, eight graders 100 years ago are now mostly today's grannies and grandpas. they were taught grammar for 1 hour, arithmetic for 1.25 hours, their U.S. history for 45 minutes, Orthography for 1 hour, geography. in total this will take 4 hours and 10 minutes for 1 school day. the 8th-grade year is 1 year. and the school (work) for an eighth-grader at that time was very difficult with the subjects. for one, in today we have only taken grammar (ELA), arithmetic,(MATH) U.S. history, Geography(SOCIAL STUDIES) and we have sadly left out Orthography or it is something I can't relate it to.

Answer:

How did Islam spread throughout the various regions of Africa?

Islam gained momentum during the 10th century in West Africa with the start of the Almoravid dynasty movement on the Senegal River and as rulers and kings embraced Islam. Islam then spread slowly in much of the continent through trade and preaching.

Traditional African religions generally believe in an afterlife, one or more Spirit worlds, and Ancestor worship is an important basic concept in mostly all African religions. Some African religions adopted different views through the influence of Islam or even Hinduism.

Read the sentence from Patrick Henry's speech to the Virginia convention. Why is this sentence an example of the use of metaphor
Alexandra [31]

Metaphor has been used in this sentence because in an indirect way the lamp has been compared to experience of the speaker which helps and guides him during dark times.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metaphor is one of the most commonly used devices in the literature by the writers or in the poems by the poets. It is one of the most interesting devices to be used which creates great impact on the reader of the story or the poem or where ever it is used.

Which explains the political challenges in the DRC since Seko’s toppling in 1997? The country is struggling with child soldiers
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The country is adopting a democracy against many warring parties.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the problems that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has faced since Seko's toppling in 1997.

Following this political development, the DRC became a republic, transitioning from a civil war to a semi-presidential system. The nation drafted a Constitution in 2005, and held elections in 2006. However, the transition has not been smooth. Many political, cultural and religious groups oppose the transition. Many disagree with the ideas of democracy, while others want to take power for themselves. This has led to a difficult democratization process in the nation.
