"Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam." What do you think this riddle may mean?

English

grin007 [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

One owns the young offspring if he owns the mother.

Explanation:

The given line represents the doctrine which was created in ancient times. The sentence is, "Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam."

Here, the word 'dam' means the mother while 'brood' means their off springs.

This doctrine determines the ownership of the animals and cattle such as bull, horses, etc.

It means that if anybody owns the mother that is the 'dam', he also owns the offspring, the 'broods'.

In the year 1842, the US Supreme court also extended this doctrine to humans saying that any slave born to slaves will also be a slave for life even if slavery is banned in that state.

Central ideas are the most _____ ideas in a text.
siniylev [52]

Central ideas are the most IMPORTANT ideas in a text.

They are the central, unifying and definite themes or ideas of an article or story. They cover all the aspects that are needed in order to create a main idea that is coherent. Without a central idea the text would not be coherent as it could addres different topics that have nothing in common, making it senseless. In an essay the central ideas are supported by the arguments, for example a central idea could be: Bees are important for our planet. In that case supporting ideas can be: They pollinate flowers. They make honey.

As you can see they are the spine and base of the text.

A.) Miep and Mr.Kraler

Mr. and Mrs. VanDaan joined Anne Frank and her family while they are in hiding. Therefore, they could not have protected them and brought them food since they are hiding too. Margot is Anne's sister so she was also in hiding. This leaves the only option as option A, Miep and Mr. Kraler. They were people that Mr. Frank trusted with their secret. Miep and Bep actually found Anne Frank's diary and kept them safe.
