Svetllana [295]2 years ago
4 0
She initially admits that she doesn't feel much toward Thanksgiving, but then progresses to reflecting on the unique memories from her childhood that stick out; she realizes that her perception of tradition was surrounded by a desire to explore and see more variation in the world, experience the new. As she grows older she sees the blatant consumerism and the beauty of 'togetherness' marred by expectations of spending lots of money. As she spends more time with friends and others, they begin to see differently how Thanksgiving can be viewed from multiple perspectives; as she then marries to a husband with a larger family, more diverse, she sees the dichotomy of willing to be in a group of people but also alone. Through reflection she realizes that she actually yearns for the solitude that her childhood Thanksgiving's brought her, and the quiet time with family.

Christopher columbus's voyage was based on what scientific theory that had not at the time been confirmed through experiment?.
jeka57 [31]

The idea that the Earth is a spherical served as the foundation for Christopher Columbus' exploration.

  • The church exerted considerable influence over society during the Middle Ages, and the majority of explanations for observed events were perceived as commands from God. As a result, scientific growth made minimal progress during this time.
  • At that time, ships were thought to fall when they approached the horizon, and the flat Earth notion was widely accepted across Europe. However, other philosophers asserted that the Earth was a spherical and that this property prevented observers from seeing the full surface of the planet.
  • Since Christopher Columbus was among the thinkers who thought the Earth was spherical, he wanted to create a new trade route by circumnavigating the globe to reach the East Indies.

Thus the correct answer is Option C.
