Answer:

C. Africa and South America were once joined into one continent.

Explanation:

Mesosaurus is an extinct genus of reptile, also called middle Lizard. It was significant in providing for the theory of continental drift (which explains that is the theory that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed ) because its remains were found southwest coast of Africa and south east coast of south America. This is because Mesosaurus is a coastal animal, and it seems very unlikely that the animals crossed the Atlantic ocean. Thus indicating the two continent might really have been joined together in the past.

Answer:

Explanation:

The presence and influence of religion can effect societal standards and the functioning of the government, as well as the laws enforced and instilled by said government, more so the gender roles and values of a society. The economic system and its functioning determines the prosperity and unemployment ratio of a society, all while the presence and power a government has determines how free its citizens are. The more oppressive/restrictive the government, the more tense and often religious a society is or becomes, (i.e Islamic States). All of these factors influence the wealth, strength, global relations, and internal culture of a society.

What is ironic about Lou and Em’s reaction to prison?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

hope this help's its pretty long...

Explanation:

Luo is the narrator's best friend. They've been friends their whole lives, as they grew up next door to each other in the city of Chengdu. Luo is sent to the mountain to undergo re-education with the narrator, but life on the mountain makes him very depressed; he battles insomnia and moments of deep desperation. His chances of getting off the mountain are even slimmer than the narrator's because his father, the dentist, is serving time in prison. The narrator claims that Luo possesses no useful skills, but Luo is a skilled storyteller. He performs "oral cinema shows" for the village headman, in which he sees a film and then recites the film's story for the village, making his story last the length of the actual film. This earns Luo and the narrator a reprieve from their manual labor, as the process of seeing a film entails a four-day round trip journey to the city of Yong Jing and the headman agrees to pay the boys for their time. Luo is often selfish (when the boys obtain their first novel, there's no question that Luo will read it first) and convinced of his superiority. Luo is quite taken with Balzac's novels, and he sees that Balzac's work has a transformative effect on his girlfriend, the Little Seamstress. Though Luo loves the Little Seamstress, he's patronizing towards her, believing that she's uncultured and less intelligent than he is. By reading Balzac to her, Luo intends to make the Little Seamstress cultured enough to be worthy of his affections, but his education has an unintended effect: she gains the confidence and vision to leave the mountain for good by herself. Distraught, Luo burns the beloved novels in an emotional and drunken frenzy.
