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.

Which saying best describes the greenhouse effect's impact on our planet?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

When you stand in sunlight, you feel warmer than when you are in shadow, so you can feel that light from the sun carries energy that can warm an object—you. You can feel the warming effect, even if the sunlight comes through a window before it hits you. In the same way, the soil, pots, plants, and so on inside a greenhouse, like the one pictured here, are warmed by the sunlight that shines through its transparent walls and roof. The air inside the greenhouse is then warmed by contact with the warm objects. If the door and ventilation windows are closed, the warm air can’t escape, so the temperature of everything in the greenhouse goes up.

If you are driving at the speed limit and another driver sounds his horn and starts to pass, you should -
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a. Slow down and allow him to pass

Explanation:

Since you are driving at the speed limit, you can not speed up to get out of his way. The other driver has more speed limit, and hence, he wants to pass you. If you slow down your speed he can pass and a possible accident could be avoided. Refusal to allow pass results, in most cases, a sense of jealous competition, which also could result in a fatal accident, or blowing to warn also could be irritating for another driver, who could take it as umbrage and will drive even faster in pursuit. A judicious decision is to slow down your car and allow him to pass.
