In the late 1800s, long-distance communication was difficult. Though there was a postal service, it was slow and unreliable. Let

ters could take many weeks or even months to travel cross country. Quickly reaching a faraway loved one in an emergency was only possible via the electric telegraph, which was not available to everyone. In contrast, today Americans communicate freely, inexpensively, and frequently over all distances with cell phones and computers. Friends and family, no matter how distant, are only a push of a button away. Which word or phrase makes the transition to a different idea

Answer:

<em>The word or phrase that makes the transition to a different idea in this excerpt is</em><em> "in contrast."</em>

Explanation:

In English language, there are certain words or phrases that are used to connect ideas, sentences or paragraphs. These words or phrases are called <u>linking words</u>. There are many types of <u>linking words</u> classified according to their function, for example:

  • Addition: <em>also, as well as, in addition to, moreover, </em>etc.
  • Consequence: <em>as a result, hence, therefore,</em> etc.
  • Contrast: <em>although, rather, </em><em>in contrast</em><em>, </em>etc.  

In this excerpt, the phrase <em>in contrast</em> is used as a linking word to show a transition to an opposite idea within the same paragraph and compare communication in two different time periods.

How do scholars think the Inca used the quipu?
frosja888 [35]

The correct answer is:

D. as a record keeping system to keep track of economic information.

Explanation:

Quipus, also known as khipus or talking knots, were registering devices historically used in a number of cultures and particularly in the region of Andean South America. The cords included numeric and other values encoded by knots in a base ten positional system. The only potential Incan example of encoding and recording information could have been cryptic knotted strings identified as khipu.
