Answer:

Because it was the loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge.

Explanation:

Alexandria was founded in Egypt by Alexander the Great. His successor as Pharaoh, Ptolemy I Soter, founded the Museum (also called Museum of Alexandria, Greek Mouseion, “Seat of the Muses”) or Royal Library of Alexandria in 283 BC. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens. The Museum was a place of study which included lecture areas, gardens, a zoo, and shrines for each of the nine muses as well as the Library itself. It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations. Over 100 scholars lived at the Museum full time to perform research, write, lecture or translate and copy documents. The library was so large it actually had another branch or "daughter" library at the Temple of Serapis.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

b. unlimited wants and limited resources.

Explanation:

There are different definitions of economics. Some say it´s a science that studies the production, distribution and consumption of good and services. Another definition refers to the theories and models that govern the market process. But definitely, economics must strike a balance between a society´s wants - that may be unlimited - and the limited resources available.

During recess melissa noticed that another girl dropped the doll she was playing with. According to freud's theory, melissa's __
Rus_ich [418]

According to freud's theory, melissa's <u>"id"</u> would tell her to grab the doll and keep it as her own whereas her<u> "superego"</u> would tell her that taking another girl's doll would be wrong.


The id is the impulsive (and oblivious) some portion of our mind which reacts straightforwardly and quickly to the impulses. The identity of the infant tyke is all id and just later does it build up a ego and super-ego.

The superego's capacity is to control the id's driving forces, particularly those which society disallows, for example, sex and hostility. It likewise has the capacity of convincing the sense of self to swing to moralistic objectives as opposed to just practical ones and to take a stab at flawlessness.
