Today, few people have heard of Jundi Shapur. But in its time, it was an exceptional university. Jundi Shapur was built in what

is now Iran sometime between the 400s and mid-500s A.D. We can only guess the dates, but we do know more about the school. It was the meeting place of the world's great minds. In 529, Christians closed the school of Athens—the last link to the academies of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The remaining Greek scholars moved to Jundi Shapur. Jews joined them, as did a group of Christians called Nestorians, who had their own ancient and scholarly traditions. Persians added their voices, and one of their learned doctors set off for what is now India, to gather and translate the wisdom of the Hindus. The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world, a place where the sick were treated and young doctors learned their craft, as well as a fine observatory to track the heavens. At Jundi Shapur the best scholars west of China all gathered to think and study together.

Why is barbados so foreign to the narrator
MAVERICK [17]
This is due to the small size of the island and its tranquility. Of course large economic nations are proud to exhibit their wealth and powers across the world- such countries are often the controversial highlight of the media. Barbados is quite the contrary but well known to those who have a good Geographic knowledge.

Read the sentence. In what ways does the underlined clause add variety and meaning to the sentence? Check all that apply.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

- It adds detail about the photographs.

- It tells the reader which photographs are being discussed.

- It creates a compound-complex sentence.

Explanation:

First of all, the underlined clause adds some details about the photographs; that the photographs are faded and cracked. It also reveals to us that the writer refers to the photographs he stored in the attic, so we get one additional information about the photographs.

As we previously indicated, this is a compound-complex sentence, which is modifying the main noun by adding more information about photographs. In our example, this sentence is composed of a compound sentence and a complex sentence.
