The correct answer is letter A

 

King Mithridates, was a Turk who was afraid of being murdered.  He watched his father (of the same name) die. In the middle of a banquet poisoned, suffocated and died in front of his guests. The killer was never discovered.

Mithridates was 15 years old at the time. The legend goes that the young man liked to spend months surviving isolated in the forests of the region and that it was in one of these retreats that his most famous invention appeared.

The prince, fearing being murdered like his father, made it a habit to drink a very small dose of poison every day. One drop in the first week, two drops in the second, three in the third - until it reaches almost lethal doses.

One of his enemies tries to poison him with the same liquid that killed his father. The new King Mithridates survives, his body accustomed to the substance, and has the criminal executed.

How do the languages of the Caribbean islands reflect their colonial history?
Mars2501 [29]
The languages spoken in the Caribbean are mostly either European langauges (which shows that those areas were conquered by Europeans) or European-based  creoles (which shows that the conquest was more "messy" than in the US: there was less strict connection with the European countries and more mixing among peoples).


Indigenous languages are no longer spoken(or by very few people), which shows the fate of the indigenous people there...

What role did science play in the lives of maya and aztec
8_murik_8 [283]

Mayans had many breakthroughs in astronomy and mathematics. Priest studied the sky with observatories. They were able to track the movement of stars and planets with great accuracy. The Mayans used their observations to calculate the solar year. The Mayan figure for their year of 365.2420 days is amazingly precise.These calculations allowed the Mayas to create their solar calendar of 365  days. They also had a sacred 260-day calendar. Every 52 years, the first date in  both calendars fell on the same day. This gave the Mayas a longer unit of time that they called a Calendar Round. For the  ancient Mayas, this 52-year period was something like what a century is to us. The Mayas also recognized the need for zero.

One of the Aztecs’ most  remarkable technological achievements was the construction of their island city Tenochticlan. the aztecs enlarge the area of the city by creating artificial islands called chinampas. Today many people visit those chinampas and their flowers vendors. The aztecs adapted the Mayan solar and sacred calendars. The calendar was useful for farming , since it tracked the seasons. One of the most famous Aztec artifacts is a calendar called the Sun Stone. Dedicated to the god of the sun, this  beautifully carved stone is nearly twelve feet wide and weighs almost twenty-five tons. The center shows the face of the  sun god.
