1/2 is bigger than 1/3, I included an attachment with the answer so that it can help you.
<span>In “The Women’s Baths,”the grandmother call her<u> daughter-in-law </u>as “her affliction”.
</span>An affliction is something which causes physical or mental suffering. <span>In “the women’s baths” , the grandmother thinks her daughter-in-law was the main cause for her pain and sorrows.
The statement shows the disappointment and heart pain.</span>
I would go with <em>b. more efficient ships</em>.
Mechanical motors were very helpful, they helped the ship move, but I don't believe they were the development that aided the explorers the most.
Sure, they could've made maps, but what was the point? If they already knew the layout of the oceans and lands, then they could've easily traveled wherever they pleased without trouble. This also applies for the spherical globe.
A greater supply of efficient ships helped sailers get by tougher tides and harsher weathers. Ships were produced to be better, stronger, and more durable. They were able to handle more weight and carry more passengers.
Furthermore, the production of efficient ships were the development that most aided explorers in their ability to sail the oceans to discover the New World during the Age of Discovery.
(This is all from my logic. I've not read your lesson, therefore, I do not truly know the answer other than using my common sense.)
Hopefully, this helps.
<span>My answer is C. admiring. He was admiring the gallantry and courage of
the British cavalry who charged the Russian guns during the Crimean War. Though only armed with sabers and lances,
they charge straight into heavy artillery and many lost their lives in the
process.</span>
