The etymology of the word "altruistic", can, of course, be found in Latin, as many words in the English language can. It originated from the Latin "alteri huic", which means "to this other". Then it traveled to Italian, became "altrui", meaning "somebody else", and then to French, became "altruisme", which then became the English "altruism", meaning "selflessness". Regarding the structure of the word "altruistic", seeing that it has the suffix -ic, it can be assumed that this is an adjective meaning "a person who has a quality of being altruistic, or selfless".
Answer
As the little hand continued to rhythmically tick, Henry's patience dwindled, and anxiety set in. He had reorganized his desk supplies three times, each time rearranging the pens by color. Everything was in place in his tidy office, yet the clerk was still missing. With a gush of wind, the front door burst open and in fumbled a lanky young man who was struggling to balance a briefcase and five coffees. Henry swiftly made haste towards the door, attempting to conceal his irritation. With a stern tone Henry inquired, "Well look who decided to show up! Out of the 365 days in a year you decide to be late TODAY? Why on Earth are you late?" The clerk smoothed his curly locks to the side of his face and cooly replied, "My watch must've been slow." The nonchalant tone of his voice took Henry by surprise. "Well, either you must get a new watch or I must get a new clerk" Henry retorted. He felt accomplished, returning a sly comment back. The clerk and Henry shared an awkward moment of silence, the stale air between them getting dense.
Explanation:
Answer:
Hypotenuse, c = 426.64 meters
Explanation:
- Let his distance from the building be a (adjacent).
- Let the height of the building be b (opposite).
- Let the distance of his flight be c (hypotenuse).
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Opposite, b = 420 meters
Adjacent, a = 75 meters
To find the missing side (hypotenuse), we would have to apply Pythagorean' theorem.
From Pythagorean theorem;
c² = a² + b²
Substituting into the formula, we have;
c² = 75² + 420²
c² = 5625 + 176400
c² = 182025
Taking the square root of both sides, we have;
c = √182025
<em>Hypotenuse, c = 426.64 meters</em>
From the passage ‘So we grew
together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, But yet an union in
partition’, Helena is referring both to herself and to Titania. The answer
is letter A.
