The details in the excerpt support the central idea that Ptolemy was a great king in that they provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness (A).

Through a rhetorical device called enumeration, the text lists the reasons why Ptolemy is viewed as a great king. We are told that:

  • he stopped conscription into the navy, which means forcing people to enroll ("impressment for the navy shall no longer be employed");
  • he prevented invasions of the kingdom by marine or ground routes ("cavalry and infantry forces and ships should be sent out against those who invaded Egypt by sea and by land");
  • he invested in the protection of the nation ("laying out great sums ... in order that the temples and all those who are in the land might be in safety").

The last sentence indicates that these feats have earned him the favor of the gods, who ensure that he remains a mighty king ("the gods have given him health, victory, and power").

What happened after the fall of the Berlin Wall?
kramer

Answer:

On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete “Antifascistischer Schutzwall,” or “antifascist bulwark,” between East and West Berlin. The official purpose of this Berlin Wall was to keep so-called Western “fascists” from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state, but it primarily served the objective of stemming mass defections from East to West. The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the head of the East German Communist Party announced that citizens of the GDR could cross the border whenever they pleased. That night, ecstatic crowds swarmed the wall. Some crossed freely into West Berlin, while others brought hammers and picks and began to chip away at the wall itself. To this day, the Berlin Wall remains one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Cold War.
