Answer:

The answer is letter D) continuing for a long time.

Explanation:

When we do not know the meaning of a certain word, we can try to guess it by analyzing the context in which it is inserted. In this particular case, the word "protracted" accompanies "period". The speaker had already revealed previously that Ptolemy's work influenced sixty generations, which means his work was important and influential for a very long period of time. Thus, when the speaker continues and restates that Ptolemy was a success and the "unchallenged instructor of the human race for such a protracted period," we already know that he means Ptolemy was a success for a very long time. Thus, the best assumption would be letter D) continuing for a long time.

As a matter of fact, protracted is an adjective that refers to something that lasts for a long time or, at least, longer than expected.

He said to her "was I really that easy to forget" Convert the sentence into indirect speech!​
satela [25.4K]

Sure,

Answer:

He said to her if he was really that easy to forget.

-> the sentence involved in this direct speech is a question. "he said to her" does not need to be changed. sentence structure of the question needs to be changed, not like your usual indirect speech sentences.

then, add a if after "he said to her". remember, this is a question.

the word in the sentence, "was" is not a modal verb, therefore it will not be changed. however, of course the word place needs to be switched with the pronoun "he", as we're converting it to a sentence and not a question. so, "if he was really that easy to forget".

Which quote from the story best supports the idea that Lena wants Sammy to believe he is contributing to the family?
slavikrds [6]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to identify the quote you need, reading each quote, however, as you want a quote where Lena convinces Sammy that he is contributing to the family, we must consider that the correct answer is the quote where Lenna presents the good things that Sammy did for the family and how it has helped the family in different situations. You should look for the quote that looks something like this, to answer that question.
