Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.

English
1 answer:

Answer:

The main idea of the paragraph is:

A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.

Explanation:

When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.

The way Holmes handles the perpetrators of the crimes affect how I view Holmes in a significant way: these examples show that, even with all the characteristics that put Holmes one step ahead of most human being, he is somehow still human, human enough to do something that is not considered right for many, but for him it is. It showed me that Holmes has an integrity I never considered before.

----

For me, it is, as it proves his integrity and also the dedication to his work. He does not want to punish the guilty, instead what really concerns Holmes is the discovery of the truth. In that sense, his mission is admirable.

----

Yes, it is possible to say that he sees himself as “above the law”. Holmes does not care for trivial human conventions, as he displayed on many occasions throughout his career. He believes that his ability and talent are enough to put him above the law.

----

It depends on what it is considered ethical. From his point of view, surely it is ethical. From the point of view of the justice system, it is surely not ethical. From a personal perspective, while I do understand his point of view, I do not consider his behavior ethical.

----

<span>I do consider his behavior ethical because, while he has many talents and abilities, no man should be seen himself as above the law. It takes only one man to consider himself as so to justify every other man to do the same, and so this would led to many men thinking they could do justice on their own. </span>

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Understatement.

Explanation:

An understatement is a statement that describes something in a way that makes it sound less important. In this case, if the Army Intelligence calls you up for a meeting, saying that they want to "chat" is an understatement because it's probably much more serious than that.
