Answer:

The word sagacity means:

- good judgment.

The word bestowing means:

- providing.

Explanation:

"Sagacity" has to do with wisdom and perspicacity, that is, the ability to see to a great distance, in this case, figuratively speaking. Therefore, when mentioning "the strong sagacity (...) which seem(s) almost the birthright of the natives of the West Riding", the author means they are farsighted and have good judgement.

"Bestowing" means conceding, granting, providing. By saying "From rarely requiring the assistance of others, he comes to doubt the power of bestowing it", the author means the natives of the West Riding do not rely on getting or providing assistance to their neighbors.

2. Identify all of the COMMON nouns in the following sentence. The kings 4 points
Pie

Answer:

City, laws, justice, kings.

Explanation:

To answer this question, you must first know what a <u>noun</u> is, which is a person, place, or thing. Look through the list, and you will find out that <u>expected</u> is not a person, place, or thing; it is a verb.

Now you're left with Mesopotamia, city, laws, justice, and kings. A quick tip amongst nouns is that <em>capitalized</em> and <em>eponymous</em> (something that is given a name to) nouns are most probably proper nouns, which is not what we're looking for here. Cross out <u>Mesopotamia</u>, and you are finished.

Hope this helps! :)

Flura [38]

Answer:

Hey! A good way of ranking up is by answering as many questions as you can. The more questions you answer, the more points and medals you get.

Another way is by completing challenges! Brainly makes challenges like "if you answer X amount of questions in X amount of time, you will get X reward!"

Hope this gave you a good idea on how you can rank up :)

Describe the unusual situation that occured at the zoo on dudleys birthday​
elixir [45]

Answer:

At the zoo, the Dursleys spoil Dudley and his friend Piers, neglecting Harry as usual. In the reptile house, Harry pays close attention to a boa constrictor and is astonished when he is able to have a conversation with it. Noticing what Harry is doing, Piers calls over Mr. Dursley and Dudley, who pushes Harry aside to get a better look at the snake. At this moment, the glass front of the snake’s tank vanishes and the boa constrictor slithers out onto the floor. Dudley and Piers claim that the snake attacked them. The Dursleys are in shock. At home, Harry is punished for the snake incident, being sent to his cupboard without any food, though he feels he had nothing to do with what happened.
