Read the passage from My Antonia. Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard times, and had got little schooling themselv

es. But the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they made such sacrifices and who have had "advantages,” never seem to me, when I meet them now, half as interesting or as well educated. The older girls, who helped to break up the wild sod, learned so much from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers; they had all, like Antonia, been early awakened and made observant by coming at a tender age from an old country to a new. Which theme is best supported by the comparison in this passage? Families succeed when they work together. It is not necessarily better to have financial advantages. Town life is better than life on the prairie. It is easier to be rich than to be poor.

The correct answer is:

It is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.

"My Antonia" is a novel  by Willa Cather in 1918. The novel is about the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, making emphasis on the role of the women during that time. This excerpt mainly explains how despite their low resources, the girls learned from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers and makes a comparison of how they were even more interesting than  the younger brothers and sisters who had advantages were not better than them. Which supports the theme that is not necessarily better to have financial advantages.

1. Explain how the methods and styles used by Newton to share his discoveries aided
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727), a renowned English author, physicist, astronomer, and theologian, wrote down more than 10 million words to document his scientific, religious, and academic works and discoveries.  Many of his written words were published after his death.  Through his writings, people increased their understanding of the sciences.

The Protestant reformers of the 16th Century, led by Martin Luther, also used the method of writing down their religious beliefs to increase people's understanding of their religious issues.

Explanation:

But before then, the Catholic Church and her theologians had written down volumes of works about various subjects.  The only difference was that much of the Church documents were not made available for people to freely read.  They were actually reserved for the educated because the Church believed strongly that half education was very dangerous.  We can still feel the misinterpretations of the scriptural, scientific, and technological works today.  Some people are always reducing divine and philosophical matters to their human levels of understanding once they have the slightest opportunity to interpret mysteries.
