to persuade the audience to add a vacation to a proposed calendar

Determining the answer to this question is all about vocabulary. In the prompt it tells you to convince the members. Convince is a synonym for persuade. When you are persuading someone to do something, you are trying to convince them that it is a good idea so they will do it. Keep in mind that it is not forceful. To convince or persuade someone of something, you must make clear and decent arguments as to why it is a good idea. The next pieces of vocabulary that are important are "fall break" and "week-long respite". When talking about school and a fall break, a person is talking about a break from school, also known as a vacation. The word respite also means break or vacation. Once we know the meaning of all these words, we can see that the prompt is asking us to persuade the audience to add a vacation to the calendar in the fall.

Answer:

The best choice is:

We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.

Explanation:

We need to find a way to eliminate ambiguity in the sentence. In this case, ambiguity is being caused by an issue with the antecedent of the pronoun "they". In "We heard rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared, but they were unreliable," "they" may refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". Even though we can assume the pronoun refers to "rumors", because of the word "unreliable" that follows it, the ambiguity is still there.

In " We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable," the revision made does not change anything. "They" can still refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". We can eliminate this option.

However, in "We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared," we no longer have any ambiguity. The pronoun "they" is not used anymore, and the adjective "unreliable" is placed right before "rumors", which makes its meaning clear. Thus, we can choose this option as the best one.

Gathered up the wisdom

Illumined it with his theories

Astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

so far as his individuality is concerned
greatest figure in ancient astronomy
gathered up the wisdom
illumined it with his theories
astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Our task is to determine which phrases praise Ptolemy for his work. These phrases will contain subjective language - language that reveals the author's feelings, opinions, beliefs, or assumptions about what he's writing about. All phrases, except for the first one, contain this type of language. The first phrase contains neutral, objective language, which is why it isn't one of the correct options.

Words that Robert Stawell Ball uses to commend Ptolemy are greatest, wisdom, illuminated, and astonishing. All of these words have a positive connotation, i.e. evoke positive emotions in us.
