It may be not needed but I would like to start the explanation by stating what etymology is. Etymology is the study of the origin of the words, their roots and their changes over different periods of time. Having said this, let us now describe why etymology is significant in the development of languages. The importance of the study of the origin, the roots and the constituents of words comes crucial when trying to form bigger and more complex vocabulary as ones advances in their academic life. it is also a crucial discipline to analyze when studying a second or a foreign language. Languages sometimes share origins in word formation, and knowing this facilitates the learning process. For example:

1.- The English word Marinade comes from the French Mariner which also comes from the Latin Marinare that means to soak in cooking liquid. In Spanish the word to mean the same is Marinar.

2.- The English Word Blouse comes also from the French Blouse /blus/ it is written the same but the pronunciation changes. And in Spanish the word is Blusa.

By analyzing these examples we can see that knowing the etymology of a word helps us learn vocabulary from different languages that share their words' roots and origins.

Answer:Điểm gọi trên trán cá rô.

Explanatio nPhương Đông bí ẩn thu hút cư dân của phương Tây với những nét văn hóa, truyền hàng thế kỷ và sự lộng lẫy của trang sức và váy, vẻ đẹp của phụ nữ. Điều đặc biệt quan trọng là điểm trên trán của phụ nữ Ấn Độ, được gọi là Bindi - đây là một trong những bí mật khiến nhiều khách du lịch phấn khích và không nghỉ ngơi: tại sao phụ nữ ở Ấn Độ lại tự đưa ra quan điểm này? Nó là một trang trí hoặc một phương pháp để truyền đạt bất kỳ thông tin cho tất cả các thông tin xung quanh? Cần lưu ý rằng ngày nay bindi rất phổ biến không chỉ với phụ nữ Ấn Độ, mà cả những người dân ở các quốc gia khác như một vết bẩn truyền thống và đồ trang sức có ý nghĩa cụ thể của riêng nó.

Bindi có thể nói về điều gì?

50 POINTS IF YOU HELP Which of the following is an example of an unreliable narrator?
Nimfa-mama [501]

I think the correct answer is the third one, "I made the best brownies today!"

An unreliable narrator is a narrator whose credibility has been compromised. Since you can't tell if this narrator credibility has been compromised from a single sentence but need a whole text to develop such incredibility, I say this is unreliable because the narrator is giving its own opinion of something he/she has made, and you can't rely on he/she being imparcial.
