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.

The Tennessee Valley Authority erected 20 dams, ________ providing much-needed jobs for up to 40,000 workers.
mrs_skeptik [129]

The correct answer is C. Eventually

Explanation:

An appropriate transition should always show the relationship between two sentences or two grammatical elements. In the case of the sentence "The Tennessee Valley Authority erected 20 dams, ________ providing much-needed jobs for up to 40,000 workers" it is suggested the jobs given to 40,000 workers were the result or consequence to the construction of 20 dams.

According to this, it is necessary to include a consequence transition such as therefore, thus or eventually. This means in this case the best option is "eventually" because this is the only transition that shows the consequence relationship between the two sentences; while the transition "because of" is used to show cause, "despite" is used to show contrast and "in addition" is used to add information.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:
