Answer:

this is an excerpt from the "Allegory of the cave" written by Plato.

Explanation:

The "Allegory of the cave" was a story created by Plato to show how the knowledge of a truth is directly linked to the individual knowledge of individuals, mainly individuals who are in a leadership position.

This allegory can be interpreted as the way that Plato found to show how the human being has constantly regressed, sinking into alienations and becoming a victim of the cave itself, even having the intellect necessary to be free. This is happening because the human being is indulging in laziness, stimulated by the quick access to information and the lack of reasoning that this causes.

Which labeled location is the place where more elephants are bred than anywhere else, according to the excerpt? A – Socotra B –
lana66690 [7]

The excerpt of this question is missing; here is the missing excerpt:

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.

[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship Mahomet. They have four sheikhs—that is to say, four elders—who exercise authority over the whole island. You must know that this island is one of the biggest and best in the whole world. It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any other province; and I assure you that not so many elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.

The correct answer to this question is C. Madagascar

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the narrator refers to an island located "about 1,000 miles south of Socotra". About the island, the narrator describes some geographical features of it, as well as, features of its people. This includes the detail "More elephants are bred here than in any other province" that shows the number of elephants bred in this island is higher than in any other region.

Now, on the map, it can be deduced the island the author describes is Madagascar (Location C) because this is the only island located to the South of Socotra (Location A), which coincides with the description in the excerpt.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Mr Dunbar is using the tool of Association.

Explanation:

In psychology, Association simply refers to the practice of linking two or more information for ease of recall. This is the way the human brain is wired to recall.

Every information in the mind is an organisation of associated ideas, occurrences, things and so on.

So to help students learn and remember faster, good teachers use the power of association to help them recall easily.

For example, do you remember the song  "Do-Re-Mi" from Sound of Music?

That song teaches one how to memorize the music sofa in a fun and easy to recall way using imagery and association.

Cheers!

Question 3
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The statement is a complete sentence.

Explanation:

The question is, do you need more information to understand what is said?

I think the sentence is just fine. You get the idea of what it means immediately.

For example if you had a sentence that said

Because I practiced throwing a curve ball, I struck the batter out.

and then you followed it with

Luck had nothing to do with it.

You should understand that I got the batter out, and luck had nothing to do with it.
