"Aquaeductus", which is the result of the sum of two components:

-The noun "aqua", which is synonymous with "water".

- "Duct", which derives from the verb "ducere", which is equivalent to "guide".

Therefore, an aqueduct is a channel artificially constructed to carry water to a specific site.

The answer is: B. A structure that leads water.

2. Compare Review lines 1-15 in It Worked for me and lines 148-158 in Colin

xxMikexx [17]

These texts talks about the life experiences of American politician and retired general of the United States Army, Colin Powell. However, they do so in very different ways. In the case of It Worked For Me, Powell himself tells us about the jobs that he had when he was a teenager. Powell focuses on the relationship that he was able to develop with the Jewish shopkeepers he worked for. He tells us that this led to a meaningful friendship and even to his learning some Yiddish.

On the other hand, the text Colin Powell: Military Leader describes Powell's life from a third-person perspective. The author also talks about Powell's jobs as a teenager. However, he focuses on the impact that such work had on Powell's private life. The author discusses how Powell's normal teenage life was affected and benefitted by this experience. The different treatment of the subject by each text is a consequence of the ideas that each text wants to reflect. While the first text focuses on Powell's connection with a different culture, the second text highlights the impact that such early work had on Powell's character and future.

The bank teller gave Kurt a (an) _ look when he deposited a real check for twenty million dollars. (Fill in the blank)

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The bank teller gave Kurt a look when he deposited a real check for twenty million dollars.

Explanation:

The indefinite article a/an is used before nouns that are singular and countable, so there is no article before a noun that is plural.

If the word after a/an begins with a consonant, then we use the indefinite article a.

If the word after a/an begins with a vowel, then we use the indefinite article an.

The article relates to the first word of the phrase (if there are more than one, for example, there is an adjective before a noun), so if we had an adjective before the noun look that starts with a vowel (e.g. empty), the correct article would be an.
