Answer:

They observed the stars with their eyes without any aid of magnifying instrument.

Explanation:

Ptolemy or Claudius Ptolemaeus was the Greek astronomer, mathematician, and geographer who proposed the theory named Ptolemaic System. According to this system of belief, the Universe was thought to be 'geocentric.' Meaning that all the planets, Sun and Moon revolves around the Earth; that the Earth was the center of the Universe. He wrote about his ideas in a book called Almagest.

<u>Ptolemy made observations of the geocentric system by observing the Universe and planets with his</u><u> naked eyes</u><u>. </u><u>He did not use any instrument to make these observations</u><u>. The only planets known at that time were the Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus as they were visible with the naked eyes</u>.

So, the correct answer is that Ptolemy or his contemporaries did not use any instrument but based their observations with their naked eyes.

Kipish [7]
.For Jefferson, the critical argument that makes rebellion and dissolution absolute is that this lack of respect will not depart.  As long as this imbalance exists, the Colonists will be treated in a secondary manner, denying them their full voice and activation of their rights.  It is in this light where I think Jefferson's key arguments lie.  In the second section regarding the "Grievances" that the Colonists have borne, Jefferson outlines all that has been done.  In doing so, he solidifies his initial argument that separation from Great Britain is the only path that the Colonists can pursue.  The relationship between both nations has been so degraded by a lack of respect that there is no other option.


For Jefferson, the basic elements of the argument for separation lie in a lack of respect.  Jefferson frames the argument that the violation of economic and political rights that the Colonists have had to suffer were the result of a lack of respect.  Jefferson is emphatic in how the British government has refused to "assent" to the basic principles of dignity and decency that could enable a successful relationship and partnership to develop.  For Jefferson, the critical argument that makes rebellion and dissolution absolute is that this lack of respect will not depart.  As long as this imbalance exists, the Colonists will be treated in a secondary manner, denying them their full voice and activation of their rights.  It is in this light where I think Jefferson's key arguments lie.  In the second section regarding the "Grievances" that the Colonists have borne, Jefferson outlines all that has been done.  In doing so, he solidifies his initial argument that separation from Great Britain is the only path that the Colonists can pursue.  The relationship between both nations has been so degraded by a lack of respect that there is no other option.

Answer: Ash stalked through the bushes, chasing the scent of a dead deer. The carrion would have been at least 3 days old by now, and was setting the forest ablaze with it’s sickly sweet scent. He sped up as the scent grew closer and closer. When he finally saw the corpse through a tangle of bushes, he dashed forward, not noticing the other wolf in the clearing. With a thud, Ash smacked into the other wolf’s rear and fell to the ground. The unknown wolf kept on gorging on the meat, hardly giving Ash a second glance. Trying to regain his dignity, Ash stood up and gave his fur a tidy lick before clearing his throat. “Ahem. Strange wolf, you are trespassing on Alpha Pack territory. Please disperse immediately from our land.” He hoped the mysterious wolf would listen, but no, it kept on chowing down on the food. Ash wondered if they had even heard his announcement. With a sigh, he rudely shoved past the wolf until he was standing face-to-face with them. Staring deep into their bored yellow eyes he snapped “Get lost, or you’ve something coming!” Maybe intimidation would work. But, Ash thought as he backed away, he had picked wrong. Finally, the wolf’s head snapped up, his ochre gaze snapping onto Ash’s face. Licking their lips, they then peeled back their lips, revealing a row of blinding white fangs stained red from blood. With a thunderous snarl, the fierce wolf launched themself onto Ash, turning his world into a beautiful race haze...
