Select the correct answer. What is the purpose of this excerpt from the article "What Is GIS?"? GIS also can be used for complex

modeling to answer a wide range of "what if" and ecosystem simulation questions. These may be cartographic models designed to document the co-occurrence or interrelationship of multiple data layers or they may be hypothetical research models designed to mimic natural ecological systems. Similarly, modeling with GIS can be used to predict the impacts that one set of parameters will have on another. For example, wetlands, soils, hydrography, climatology and elevation data can be combined to model flooding within a river system. Upstream changes in land use within the same system can be modeled to determine the potential impact of conversion of a forested floodplain to residential development or to agriculture. As a result, both natural system responses to storm events and the impact of human land use decisions can be assessed prior to the proposed action. A. to warn readers about the hazards of diminishing wetlands B. to inform readers about the multiple uses of GIS C. to explain the workings of the ecosystem simulations D. to instruct readers about proper use of GIS resources

Which detail supports the belief that Antony has respect and admiration for Caesar? He pledges allegiance to Brutus after Caesar
nalin [4]

Mark Antony, the famous Roman Senator and one of the Triumvirs during the Second Triumvirate, the time of transition of Rome from Republic to Empire, was best know for two things; the first, having been the lover of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, after his best friend, Julius Caesar, and the second, for his deep friendship with Caesar himself. From 54 B.C, when Antony was elected as tribune, he dedicated himself to defending Julius Caesar in front of the Senate and became his greatest supporter. In fact, while Julius Ceasar was a dictator in Rome, Antony supported him and in 48 B.C, Antony became part of the Caesarean forces in the Battle of Pharsalus and also made part of the famous Republican Civil War. In 44 B.C, when Caesar assumed his fifth term as consul, Antony became co-consul. After the death of Caesar, Antony had to flee Rome dressed as a slave but came back soon after and took over responsibility over Caesar´s will. But what shows how deeply Antony respected and admired Julius Caesar was B, when Antony gives a speech to the people underlining the greatness of their fallen leader Julius Caesar.

2. Why do Tom and Nick stop in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city? How does
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.
