Informational texts often use images to support ideas. Which of these excerpts from Robert Stawell Brown's Great Astronomers doe

s this image help to explain?
Excerpt 1
The constellation of the Great Bear, which in our skies never sets during its revolution round the pole, did set and rise when a sufficient southern latitude had been attained. On the other hand, constellations new to the inhabitants of northern climes were seen to rise above the southern horizon. These circumstances would be quite incompatible with the supposition that the earth was a flat surface.

Excerpt 2
Ptolemy commences with laying down the undoubted truth that the shape of the earth is globular. The proofs which he gives of this fundamental fact are quite satisfactory; they are indeed the same proofs as we give today. There is, first of all, the well-known circumstance of which our books on geography remind us, that when an object is viewed at a distance across the sea, the lower part of the object appears cut off by the interposing curved mass of water.

Excerpt 3
Imagine a fixed arm to extend from the earth to the sun, as shown in the accompanying figure, then this arm will move round uniformly, in consequence of the sun's movement. At a point P on this arm let a small circle be described. Venus is supposed to revolve uniformly in this small circle, while the circle itself is carried round continuously by the movement of the sun. In this way it was possible to account for the chief peculiarities in the movement of Venus. It will be seen that, in consequence of the revolution around P, the spectator on the earth will sometimes see Venus on one side of the sun, and sometimes on the other side, so that the planet always remains in the sun's vicinity. By properly proportioning the movements, this little contrivance simulated the transitions from the morning star to the evening star.

Excerpt 4
He came to the conclusion that to attribute any motion to the earth would be incompatible with the truths at which he had already arrived. The earth, argued Ptolemy, lies at the centre of the celestial sphere. If the earth were to be endowed with movement, it would not lie always at this point, it must, therefore, shift to some other part of the sphere. The movements of the stars, however, preclude the possibility of this; and, therefore, the earth must be as devoid of any movement of translation as it is devoid of rotation. Thus it was that Ptolemy convinced himself that the stability of the earth, as it appeared to the ordinary senses, had a rational philosophical foundation.

Answer:

Excerpt 3

Explanation:

The excerpt 3 perfectly explains the image, which means each symbol and diagram present in the image, in order to help the reader in understanding the message that is desired to pass. Both text and image are referring to the movements of the earth, venus and sun, so it is easy to see that excerpt 3 is perfectly connected to this image.

Elie Wiesel is quite emphatic about the cruelty of the Nazis. At the same time, he holds a great deal of anger towards Jewish individuals who failed to speak out and act in a manner that defied indifference. Throughout Night, we see instances where the cruelty and dehumanization the Nazis showed towards Jewish individuals, similar treatment is shown with Jewish individuals towards one another.

Should individuals be prosecuted for statements made on social media ? Yes or no ?
RSB [31]

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you one as an example and you can agree or disagree, and be able to change it if you want to.

Explanation:

 Using social media requires great responsibility. We have to assume that what we write may affect other people and assume that what we read may not be appropriate for us as well.

 When a person's life is really affected by comments from one or more people on social media, then yes, individuals should be prosecuted. Especially when these cases turn into cyber bullying.

However, I think we all have opinions on any topic on social media and if the comments are not intended to hurt anyone, they could avoid a trial, or at least resort to a temporary account cancellation as a form of punishment.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Red meat was expensive, and only the rich could afford it

Explanation:

The Elizabethans ate three meals a day like anyone else, the meals varying from a chord to their riches among families. Poorer people could only buy vegetables and white meat such as fish, chicken and rabbits while the rich could eat red meat more consistently. In 1563 Elizabeth created a law that compelled everyone to eat fish meat every Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays by encouraging the fish industry and reducing the fish price to the poor.
