Why are pygmies short

English
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There are a number of theories to explain why pygmies are so short. It has been proved that their height is hereditary, and is passed on from parents to children. It may have evolved because of the low ultraviolet light found in rainforests, where many pygmies live. This would mean that the pygmies would make less vitamin D in their skin.

There are sixty cup on a table if one fall down then how many remain
alexandr402 [8]

This is actually a trick question. You would assume that because one fell it would be 59, however the question never defines what has fallen. Alternatively others may think that it would be 60 since the total number never changes.

However if read verbally it would sound like Six - Tea cups meaning if one fell, five would remain!

How is symbolism used to convey Esperanza’s feelings?
zimovet [89]

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

Both the trees and Esperanza have "skinny necks and pointy elbows", and both don´t belong where they are. The trees should grow in nature, not in a city. Similarly, Esperanza feels like she doesn´t belong in the neighborhood. Furthermore, the resilience of those trees that "grew despite concrete" symbolizes Esperanza´s resilience to persevere notwithstanding the impediments imposed by her being poor.

Explanation:

The question refers to the section Four Skinny Trees from the book “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros.

There, the four trees found in her front yard symbolize Esperanza´s experience of feeling like an outsider and wanting to reach out for something else.
