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.

Answer:

Lindner's good manners and polite words show that segregation can be subtle and indirect.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we learn about the welcome that the family received when they moved to Clybourne Park. We learn that Lindner was meant to talk to the family in order to convince them to leave. This is caused by the fact that the white residents of this community do not want black people living there. Lindner expresses this racist concern using very polite words and good manners, which demonstrates that segregation can be subtle and indirect.

Which words in the sentence are the adverb clause?
lidiya [134]
The correct answer is D) because she enjoys year-round sports. An adverb clause is a subtype of a subordinate clause, meaning that it cannot exist on its own, outside of the main, independent clause.
A cannot be correct because this is not a clause - it doesn't have a finite verb (infinitives, such as 'to live' are non-finite), which means that it is a phrase.
B is a weird sentence fragment, it isn't an adverb clause.
C is also a sentence fragment, the sentence is incomplete.
