Extraneous

An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.

Describe how Aeneas illustrates the values of Rome and societal expectations for behavior. How do different episodes in Aeneas'
fomenos

Answer:

Aeneas illustrations of the values of Rome and societal expectations of behavior emphasized on Roman superiority through their cultures and believes. In those days, the Romans celebrated their culture and beliefs with columns and friezes and placed them above any other cultures. There still exist some Roman Architecture in some European cities which make to keep the memories of Aeneas' journey

Explanation:

Virgil quite clearly intended the Aeneid to appeal to the patriotic spirit of the Romans, documenting the origins of the great Roman Empire. Virgil's contemporaries, who relished their belief that they were direct descendants of the mighty Trojans, undoubtedly would have enjoyed a story portraying their race as one destined for greatness. The epic often refers to the destiny of Aeneas's descendants; most importantly, Aeneas's victory is inevitable because it is his fate, as well as the fate of his son Ascanius, to lay the groundwork for Rome's shining future.
