Read the excerpt from the decree inscribed on the Rosetta Stone, which appears in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cros

s Giblin. and whereas he has directed that impressment for the navy shall no longer be employed; and whereas he provided that cavalry and infantry forces and ships should be sent out against those who invaded Egypt by sea and by land, laying out great sums in money and grain in order that the temples and all those who are in the land might be in safety; in return for which things the gods have given him health, victory, and power, and all other good things, and he and his children shall retain the kingship for all time. How do the details in the excerpt support the central idea that Ptolemy was a great king? They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness. They make a comparison of Ptolemy to other rulers. They create an image of Ptolemy as having great physical strength. They show a pattern of Ptolemy invading other countries by sea and by land.

Answer:

They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness.

Explanation:

This excerpt helps us learn a lot about King Ptolemy. It states that he was a fair ruler for stopping the impressment for the navy. Also, he is described as a protector of the country for providing cavalry, infantry and ships as a means of defence against anyone who would atack Egypt by sea or by land. He was said to be generous and kind for his donations to temples and people residing in them.

Basically, this entire excerpt is a list of examples that serve as an evidence for the claim that Ptolemy was a great king and man.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

He had started to doubt himself, unsure of how and why the ghost had appeared and for what purpose.

Explanation:

Act I of William Shakespeare's tragic play "Hamlet" shows the young prince Hamlet meeting his dead father's ghost for the first time. And then came the revelation by the former King's ghost of how he had been murdered. This revelation took Hamlet by surprise but also made him vow to exact revenge on the culprit.

When Hamlet said <em>"it is an honest ghost",</em> he was fully sure of what he had been told by the ghost. But later on, he again said <em>"The spirit that I have seen may be the devil"</em>, implying that he's starting to question the whole situation. Earlier, he had been so much consumed with grief about his father's death that when the ghost came, he was fully co-operative with the plan and the story. But later on, when he isn't with the ghost and had time to think more clearly, he began to doubt his own decision.
