English
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In antiquity, systems of measurement were defined locally: the different units might be defined independently according to the length of a king's thumb or the size of his foot, the length of stride, the length of arm, or maybe the weight of water in a keg of specific size, perhaps itself defined in hands and knuckles.

Systems of Measurement: there are two main systems of measurement in the world: the Metric (or decimal) system and the US standard system. ... The US Standard system uses units that have no predictable relationship to each other.

Explanation:

For example, there are 2 cups in a pint, but 4 quarts in a gallon.

How does the symbol of the sheep affect the story in The Alchemist? Select each correct answer.
makkiz [27]

A- The sheep represent those who choose not to follow their ultimate purpose.

AND

B-The sheep motivate Santiago to take a risk and pursue his Personal Legend.


When Santiago observes the sheep, he reflects on how they go through life doing only what Santiago asks. They trust him to keep them fed and watered, out of danger, and make good decisions on their behalf. They are similar to those people who choose not to follow their ultimate purpose in that they let life pass by only satisfied with the necessities. Not really choosing their own path or purpose.

The sheep also motivate Santiago. After reflecting on their ability to hold him back from his adventure because of his feelings of responsibility to them, he begins to realize that they are really the way he can afford to take his journey. By selling his sheep, he can free himself easily from what keeps him in Andalusia and acquire the money he needs to begin his journey to the pyramids.

The sentence "to open a store" is infinitive, while the sentence "offering a discount to the performance artist" is a gerund phrase.

<h3>How can we identify these sentences?</h3>
  • We must identify the verb of the sentence.
  • We must pay attention to the way the verb is being written.

In infinitive sentences, verbs are in their natural version, without conjugation, and therefore are accompanied by the word "to" as in "to open."

In the gerund phrase, the verb indicates that the subject is doing something at the moment when the sentence is being narrated. For this reason, verbs in these sentences end in "-ing" as in "offering."
