Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo. Let us go on now to tell of a large city which forms part of the p

rovince of Aden but has a petty ruler of its own. This city, which lies about 400 miles north-west of the port of Aden, is called Shihr. It is ruled by a count, who maintains strict justice in his domain. He has several cities and towns under his sway but is himself subject to the sultan of Aden. The people are Saracens and worship Mahomet. The city has a very good port; for I assure you that many merchant-ships come here well loaded with goods from India, and from here they export many goods to India. In particular they export innumerable fine chargers and sturdy pack-horses of great worth and price, on which the merchants make a handsome profit. What are most likely the author's purposes for writing this text? Select two options

Learn from the past,live in the present and create your future. plz explain
Naily [24]
The past is what has already happened. The "learn" part means to learn from your mistakes or achievements that have already happened to know what to do further in life.

The present is what is currently going on right now. The "live" part means to not be constantly worrying about what is to come later on in life; or to hold on to something that happened a while ago that might change how you are living now; this means to live what is currently happening, because that is what mostly matters.

The future is what is to come, or what will happen later on in life. The "create" means to prepare, or make plans for how you want your future to be. For example, to get ready for school, you might pack your luch or backpack to make sure you have everything for the day to come, which in this case, is the future.
