Explanation:</h2>
Canadian amateur geologist from New Brunswick who had merely a grammar school education but became one of the first to find a major type locality for a very important Precambrian fossils-the masterstrokes. He went by George Frederic Matthew and he lived from 1837-1923 (Age 86).
The theme of the biography could be that, at the time he lived, during the latter part of the Industrial Revolution, it was common for men to have wide interests and in fact his work was as a customs agent but he became a very good amateur paleontologist by applying himself to that subject especially in the field. In the account I read it says, "Employed as a customs agent, and not as a paleontologist, he was never able to pursue any single field of paleontology with the resources available to his colleagues" As well as describing the Archaeology acadiense masterstrokes he also found many Cambrian fossils. this showed how it is not necessarily formal training and being from a prosperous family that determines how good a natural scientist is, But really how passionate they are about their job.

Answer:
A word(s) had been left out
All of the above
True
Explanation:
Ellipsis are series of dots which can be placed at any position in the sentence.
These three dots can stand in for whole sections of text that are omitted that do not change the overall meaning. The dots can also indicate a mysterious or unfinished thought, a leading sentence, or a pause or silence. This punctuation is also referred to as a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis.
Answer:
Referring to the dictionary defenition of a word
Explanation:
This is because the author is using the word in a literal meaning and not in an expressional meaning like a poet does.
Example. The Main Character cannot break through the wall, Its pretty tough.
This is literal. The word " tough " is being used in its dictionary meaning since it means Hard.
Meanwhile a poet might use this as an expression of something else like
" He was heartbroken, the woman he loved had shattered his soul and it was a tough experience for him "
Tough is used as an emotional feeling of being broken down instead of its dictionary counterpart.
Hope it helped, sorry if Im wrong.
Hoping is for everyone.
Those homeless kids? They might be hoping for a meal tonight. That kid who keeps getting picked on? He's probably hoping to be left alone. That little girl who hears her parents arguing? She might be hoping that they'd just make up.
Hoping keeps people alive, in a way.
For example, when the Americans during the 1700's wanted their freedom from Britain, they started a war. They lost so many battles. If they had given up hope, then America would've still been under British rule.
If the world gave up hope when Hitler was massacring those Jews, there would be no more Jews left in the world, probably. Germany might have still been a dictatorship.
Hoping and wishing are almost the same. ALMOST. Wishing is almost always useless, face it. Who would hear and care about your wishes anyways? Wishes are for all sorts of things that we know we can't have, and that are almost always unrealistic. 'I wish I could be a millionaire.' 'I wish I could fly.' 'I wish I could eat as many pizzas as I'd like without getting full.'
Hopes are more realistic, more thoughtful, and much easier to achieve. 'I hope my mom stays alive.' 'I hope I can get this job interview.' 'I hope I can go to the park today.'
I hope this helps your answer! Good luck!
