The characteristics of a hurricane are powerful winds, driving rain, and raging seas. Although a storm must have winds blowing a

t least 74 miles an hour to be classified as a hurricane, it is not unusual to have winds above one hundred and fifty miles per hour in a major hurricane. The entire storm system can be five hundred miles in diameter, with lines of clouds that spiral toward a center called the "eye." Within the eye itself, which is about 15 miles across, the air is actually calm and cloudless. But this eye is enclosed by a towering wall of thick clouds where the storm's heaviest rains and highest winds are found.
What is the central idea presented in this paragraph?
A.
Hurricanes have winds of at least 74 miles an hour.
B.
Hurricanes are more destructive than tornadoes.
C.
The eye of a hurricane is about 15 miles across.
D.
Hurricanes have very dangerous characteristics.

Who was the Welsh cleric who lived from ca. 1100 to 1155 and wrote "The Prophecies of Merlin", the poetic "Life of Merlin", and
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

His name was Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Explanation:

Geoffrey of Monmouth was a cleric born between 1095 and 1100 who is famous to this day for his influence over the Arthurian myths. Much of his life cannot be accounted for since information is scarce. We do not know precisely where he was born; some sources say he was Welsh, others say he was British. The exact year when he was born is also controversial.

Geoffrey was the author of the "History of the Kings of Britain", or Historia Regum Britanniae, which was translated into several languages. Nowadays, this work is considered unreliable. But Geoffrey's earliest work was probably the Prophecies of Merlin which, as its name reveals, contains a number of prophecies attributed to the wizard Merlin. Some say the character Merlin was created by Geoffrey himself, but Geoffrey claimed to have based him in older Brittonic traditions.
