Answer:

The world map in 1507 is way different from our current maps because of the type of technology they had in the past verses the technology we have today.

Explanation:

You see, in 1507, they were limited on technology. Satelites weren't invented until 1957, so they didn't have photographic, digital pictures of the Earth. They normally had to rely on the stars and some ocean astronomical devices such as the astrolabe.

People voyaged around continents, drawing out on maps what they think it would look like based on the size of the land and the distance between lands and waters.

Identify the correlative conjunction in the following sentence.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

B. Either... or...

Explanation:

Conjunctions are words used to connect other words, phrases, or clauses. There are three main types of conjunctions:

Coordinating conjunctions - used to connect two elements (words/phrases/clauses) of equal grammatical rank and importance (e.g. two independent clauses).
Subordinating conjunctions - used to connected elements of unequal rank and importance (e.g. one independent and one subordinating clause).
Correlative conjunctions - used in pairs to connect elements of equal importance (e.g. both/and, either/or, neither/nor, not/but).

Based on this information, we can conclude that the correlative conjunction in the given sentence is either/or.
