The correct answer is "the desire of wise men".

In her play "Frankenstein" (1823), Mary Shelley uses different syntactic strategies in order to put emphasis on certain information. For example, she could have written something like this: "within my grasp is the study and desire of the wisest men...".  

Instead, she chose to present the information in a rhetorical way. She introduced the "wh" word "what" opening the window for the reader to question himself what is the meaning of "what"?  

What is THAT THING that had been the study and desire of wisest men since the creation of the world?  What did they want to know?

Kronos was a ruler and a great fortune. He has five children. He is afraid of his wealth. I think his children will take his for
yKpoI14uk [10]

"Kronos was the ruler of the Titans, and he had great power and fortune. He had five children, who would eventually become the Olympians, and he is afraid of his children taking his power away from him. To prevent that, he decided to get rid of his children by taking every child and throwing them into a deep, deep well. However, his wife Rhea took them from the well and smuggled them to another town, but over time Kronos learned of their presence in another town and swallowed them whole. Luckily, Rhea was able to smuggle Zeus away safely before his father swallowed him, replacing him with a bundle of rocks. Metis, his caretaker while on the mortal world, knew about Kronos and his plot and told Zeus to pretend to serve him his food and drink, secretly poisoned by a poisoned flower. When Kronos swallowed the flower, he vomited his children out whole, who teamed together and overthrew him. Kronos's insecurity led to his demise." I edited and remade some parts to be more accurate. Some of your story was a little off so I fixed and rewrote it for you.

2. In one sentence, explain the difference between an intentional and unintentional injury. Then list two examples of intentiona
Dominik [7]
An unintentional injury is an injury inflicted upon a person without the suspect's purpose of a motive whereas intentional is the opposite and the suspect has a motive behind the injury.

Intentional: Mark decides to get revenge on Matt for flirting with his girlfriend. He picks up the golf putter at their nightly outting of Go-Go Golf and smacks the metal end down on Matt's collarbone. The force cracks his collarbone.

Unintentional: Maria is driving but is slightly under the influence. She sees a man crossing the road in the middle of the night and attempts to swerve out of the way. She clips his calves and heels, causing burns/lacerations on his legs, but he is otherwise okay.
