Answer:

Greatest figure in ancient astronomy

Gathered up the wisdom

Illumined it with his theories

Astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • so far as his individuality is concerned
  • greatest figure in ancient astronomy
  • gathered up the wisdom
  • illumined it with his theories
  • astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Our task is to determine which phrases praise Ptolemy for his work. These phrases will contain subjective language - language that reveals the author's feelings, opinions, beliefs, or assumptions about what he's writing about. All phrases, except for the first one, contain this type of language. The first phrase contains neutral, objective language, which is why it isn't one of the correct options.

Words that Robert Stawell Ball uses to commend Ptolemy are <em>greatest, wisdom, illuminated, </em>and <em>astonishing</em>. All of these words have a positive connotation, i.e. evoke positive emotions in us.

I NEED A Persuasive Essay ON SHOULD STUDENTS HAVE A LATER BEDTIME I WILL GIVE 99 POINTS AND BRAINIEST ANSWER PLEASE TRY YOUR BES
Sveta_85 [38]

Some people say that no matter how much you sleep you are still going to be tired. Others say that an early bedtime helps you concentrate the next morning. Then there are people who say that when you sleep later, you get more things done, you do more in a more progressive way. I believe that when you have a later bedtime it helps for many different reasons. Here’s why.<span>

   when people are at work or in the car or even at school they fall asleep. I've seen so many people fall asleep at school, even at my work. This is usually because they woke up very early and did not go to sleep at the time they wanted to. When I think about school work the first thing that pops into my head is, a lot. As teenager, we have a lot of things to do. When we must go to sleep at a certain hour it makes us mad, either because we don’t want to or because we still have things to do. We need the time to finish our work and handle everything at a proper manner. When we get to go to sleep later we have all our homework done so we are not tossing and turning worrying about it. Since we go to bed at time that we want we are responsible for waking up at the time that we are supposed to. </span>

 

<span>    As far as I’m concerned falling asleep later, or going to sleep the time you want to teach you many things. One is responsibility, you are responsible for getting up at the time that you are supposed to. Also, that you won’t fall asleep in class. That you are focused enough when it comes to the day, and its obstacles. It also teaches you discipline. That you must not wait too late or past your limit to when you should go to sleep. That you must discipline yourself to be doing productive things while you are staying awake. Such as homework, work, cleaning, or working out. </span>

 

<span>     I do believe that if you are not going to do anything productive and just sit and watch tv, or be on your phone, then you should go to sleep. I think personally that when you are staying up late is for a reason. You are staying up late because you must finish something or do something. If you are staying up to play video games then it is not productive. If I had something to do and it was late then it would most definitely stay up and do it. Not stand around and do nothing. Staying up late can be a very productive time of the day, if you use it right. </span>

 

<span>   In conclusion, I believe that staying up late is a great idea. It teaches you discipline, self-control, and responsibility. It helps you when you need to get things done on a short time frame. Staying up late as I said above could for some people be the most productive time of the day. Because you are so busy running around during the day. When you get home and finally take care of what you need to, you need time. Finally, I think that people should stay up later when they are being productive with their time, and using it for things that they must get done.</span>

<span>Hope that helps. </span>
