Which four phrases from Robert Stawell Ball's "Great Astronomers" convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy's work?

A. so far as his individual is concerned

B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy

C. gathered up the wisdom

D. illuminated it with his theories

E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Answer:

The four phrases which convey a commendable tone are:

B. greatest figure in ancient astronomy

C. gathered up the wisdom

D. illuminated it with his theories

E. astonishing verisimilitude to the actual fact

Explanation:

Robert Stawell Ball (1840-1913) was an Irish astronomer who, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, is talking about another astronomer, Ptolemy (100 CE-170 CE). Ptolemy was Egyptian of Greek descent. Besides being an astronomer, he was also a geographer and a mathematician.

<u>The adjective "commendable" refers to something or someone that deserves to be praised. If we are looking for phrases with a commendable tone, we are looking for phrases that praise someone. In that case, it is easy to see that phrases B, C, D, and E are the correct ones. The word choice - "greatest", "wisdom", "illuminated", "astonishing verisimilitude" - reveals the favorable opinion Ball has of Ptolemy's work.</u>

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. [ANTONY.] But here’s a parchment with the seal of Caesar; I found it in

o-na [289]

The answer is:

Antony displays Caesar’s will and says that if the people read it, they would worship Caesar so much that they would want something from him to worship as a relic.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Antony refuses to read Caesar's will at first because he believes Romans will be so deeply moved that their reverence for him would make them kiss Ceasar's wounds, diptheir napkins in is blood and take his hair as a costly object to pass from generation to generation. Actually, Antony later reveals that in his will Caesar has left an amount of money from his own to every man in Rome.

turkle suggest peopl use technology to edit themselves, to "presnt the self they want to be", how does turkle feel about this pr

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Turkles argument speaks to the superiority of face to face conversations over technology-aided or enabled communication such as emails and texting.

Turkle indeed alludes to the advantages given by the use of technology such as email and texting services etc to modify our conversation/message to perfection.

In her opinion, this is at best superficial in the long run and does not replace the good old fashion face to face (albeit "imperfect") mode of communication which allows for deeper connections that technology can ever allow.

She notes in paragraph 11 that Human relationships are worth a bundle, complicated and challenging. She indicates that humans have acquired the habit of using technology to make these interactions seem "flawless". According to Turkle, this shifting behaviour towards a perfect representation of self has only reduced conversation to electronic connections and that this has devalued the worth of human interactions which whose real benefit is in connecting with one another.

According to her, online connections don't present a substitute for real conversations.
