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.

Which words and phrases from this excerpt help create a tone of admiration? Check all that apply.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Highly valuable, courageous, critical role

Explanation:

The given excerpt is the following:

In World War I and World War II, American Indian soldiers played a critical role in the US military effort by using their native languages as the basis for creating successful codes. The most famous of these soldiers were a group of four hundred men known as the Navajo code talkers. These innovative and courageous soldiers developed for the United States Marine Corps a virtually unbreakable military code, which proved highly valuable against the Japanese during the Second World War.

The words used to create a tone of admiration, that express respect and approval, in it are <em>highly valuable, courageous, </em>and <em>critical role.</em>

The code of the Navajo is described as highly valuable, which means that it was approved of and considered to be an important asset by the United States.

The Navajo soldiers are described as courageous, which is another positive, respected trait. They were brave and not afraid to get hurt or even lose their lives for the sake of victory.

The fact that these soldiers played a critical role means that they played a huge part in war and greatly contributed to its positive outcome.
