(1) There are many examples of grand architecture in the world. (2) Some of the most impressive are buildings of the ancient cit

y called Petra in Jordan. (3) Petra is the Greek word for "rock." (4) The early inhabitants of Petra—the Nabataeans—did not use wood or brick to make the structures, but instead, they carved them right out of the desert sandstone cliffs.
(5) Two thousand years ago, Petra was an important center of activity where caravans of travelers would pass through on their way to trade goods in other regions. (6) Their power and riches can still be seen today in the remains of their city.
(7) Although Petra was built in a rugged, dry desert, the Nabataeans made wise plans for collecting and storing water. (8) This water system was made of cisterns, or reservoirs, that held water and channels that directed water from one place to another.
(9) After thriving for about 1,000 years, Petra began to decline. (10) The trade routes that had once gone through the city were changed to go toward the sea. (11) In addition, an earthquake devastated the area. (12) The ruins of the city were rediscovered in the 1800s by a European traveler who disguised himself as a local Bedouin, or local Middle Eastern person, to find the remote location.
(13) Today, modern travelers can visit Petra and see its majesty in person; tours are available by foot, donkey, or camel. (14) Much of Petra remains to be seen; archaeologists have uncovered only 15 percent of it. (15) The rest of this city is still "lost" or underground.

The Nabataeans themselves were intelligent and wealthy traders.
A. after sentence 5 B. after sentence 14 C. after sentence 1

Match the generalization about life to thecharacter that makes it.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The best way to answer this question is by quoting what the characters say or explaining their characterizations.

1. Everyone has troubles: Dr. Gibbs

According to Dr. Gibbs "They'll have a lot of troubles, I suppose, but that's none of our business.  Everybody has a right to their own troubles."

2. All people were meant to get married: Mrs. Gibbs

Mrs. Gibbs is portrayed as a typical housewife whose only duty is to be a good wife and mother. She cleans the house, takes care of the kids and leads a simple life.

3. Gives George the advice his own father gave him on marriage: Mr. Webb

In the following passage, Mr. Webb gives George the advice:

George, I was thinking the other night of some advice my father gave me when I got married. Charles, he said, Charles, start out early showing who's boss, he said. Best thing to do is to give an order, even if it don't make sense; just so she'll learn to obey. And he said: if anything about your wife irritates you…her conversation, or anything…just get up and leave the house. That'll make it clear to her, he said. And, oh, yes! he said never, never let your wife know how much money you have, never."

4. laments that girls are unprepared for marriage: Mrs. Webb

Mrs. Webb states "It came over me at breakfast this morning; there was Emily eating her  breakfast as she's done for seventeen years and now she's going off to eat it in  someone else's house. Oh, I've got to say it: you know, there's something  downright cruel about sending our girls out into marriage this way. I hope  some of her girl friends have told her a thing or two. It's cruel, I know, but I  couldn't bring myself to say anything. I went into it blind as a bat myself."

5. expresses the need for love: Emily

Emily is a romantic idealist that accepts being a submissive wife just because she needs to feel that George loves her. She even represses her feelings for this.

6. expresses the search for happiness: Mrs. Soames

Mrs. Soames constantly looks for happiness, for example, she remembers  how happy she was at Emily´s lovely wedding, she thinks that Emily and George are a great couple, and she agrees with dead Emily that people do not enjoy life.
