The correct answer is option D: It was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated.

The city of Mecca in the Hejazi region of the Arabian Peninsula is an important place because it was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated. Also, it is the holiest city in the Islam religion since it is home to the Kaaba and an obligatory pilgrimage known as the Hajj for all Muslims.

The correct answer is:

D. It was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated.

Explanation:

The city of Mecca is the holiest city in the religion of Islam because it is where Muhammad was born and because<em> The Kaaba (the most important mosque which was built in a cuboid form by Abraham and his son Ishmael</em>) is located in this city. Mecca is considered the place where angels visit and mercy falls.

In the religion of Islam, there are five pillars (faith, five daily prayers, charity, the fast of Ramadan and pilgrimage). The Hajj is the annual pilgrimage where Muslims go to the Mecca mainly to visit The Kaaba during the last month of the Muslim lunar year, and lasts for five days. Muslims face the direction of The Kaaba when they pray not because they worship The Kaaba, but because it is the place of worship of the one God, Allah.

Which of the follawing is a task required of someone running a commissary?
NikAS [45]
I would choose all of the above because a commissary is an established commercial kitchen where FoodTruckers and other food services can go to prepare and store food meaning you would have to take inventory constantly and you'd need to hire people aka staff and supervision and because you have trucks on the road you'd need to consider high-traffic times to have everything timed out and on time

5. How did Canada get its name?
Maru [420]
The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanata; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of the present-day City of Québec. For lack of another name, Cartier used the word “Canada” to describe not only the village, but the entire area controlled by its chief, Donnacona.

The name was soon applied to a much larger area; maps in 1547 designated everything north of the St. Lawrence River as Canada. Cartier also called the St. Lawrence River the “rivière du Canada,” a name used until the early 1600s. By 1616, although the entire region was known as New France, the area along the great river of Canada and the Gulf of St. Lawrence was still called Canada.

Soon explorers and fur traders opened up territory to the west and to the south, and the area known as Canada grew. In the early 1700s, the name referred to all French lands in what is now the American Midwest and as far south as present-day Louisiana.

The first use of Canada as an official name came in 1791, when the Province of Quebec was divided into the colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada. In 1841, the two colonies were united under one name, the Province of Canada.
