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.

What is the effect of the choice by Orson Welles (author of the radio play) not to include much detail about the "cylinder"?
Nonamiya [84]
By not providing a great deal of detail about the "cylinder" in his radio production of War of the Worlds Welles helped to keep the origin of the alien invaders a mystery.  Welles probably chose to do such in order to keep the audience in suspense and to help convince them that the invasion is actually happening.

Why does the poet compare the job of cleaning to an elephant? A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task. B. to show
irinina [24]

Answer:

A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task.

Explanation:

         We do not know what poem this is referring to, but this poet uses a simile or metaphor. This is a type of figurative language and is not meant to be "taken literally." This rules out options C and D because there is not an <em>actual</em> elephant.

         While B could still be an answer, the narrator could have cleaned up their room once before without it feeling like a big task. Since they chose to compare it to an elephant specifically, we can guess that the answer will be "A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task."
