D. Education was available only to the wealthy.

The article gives evidence that the times were hard when Copernicus was growing up, meaning many of the lower classes did not have widespread access to education.  Copernicus was only able to gain an education because his family had a large amount of wealth.

 I would think the answer would be D. Because the text only mentions him getting an education when he moves in with his wealthy uncle.

What tone was was the author illustrating in Maria Isabel's prayer for Enrique - "God…grant me one wish. Get Mexican immigration
ycow [4]

Answer:

The excerpt has a pleading tone.

Explanation:

In literature, tone is a very important element in the transmission of the message and the meaning of a text. This is because the message is directly linked to the feeling that the text wishes to convey and the tone is the representation of the emotion or feeling that the author wishes to present during the reading of the text.

In the excerpt shown above, we can see that there is a pleading tone, since the narrator begs God to grant her wish that Enrique be deported and return to the place where she is.

Why does Antony use the phrase brutish beasts in line 32?
likoan [24]
I believe that the work is Marc Anthony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ,and the full line is:
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

and his purpose is to say that the judgement is not following the reason, but instead that people follow the wrong people in their judgement (those people is what he means by "brutish beasts")
