Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. As the boats rounded the tip of the island, the fishermen gasped. An enormous bird wit

h many huge, white wings sat upon the water. But, no, it was a ship, bristling with masts, slung with dozens of sails, and alive with movement. Many strange foreigners scurried about on deck or crawled up the ropes that were strung all over the vessel like spiderwebs. What does the phrase "the fishermen gasped" help readers infer? The fishermen have never seen a large sailing ship before. The fishermen are surprised to see Japanese sailors. The fishermen cannot believe that they have been rescued. The fishermen recognize the sailing ship as one from home.

It is harder to achieve spirirual success because it requires much more mindpower and patience, although it is hard to say because material success requires luck and determination. To gain material success, someone must have a goal and plan on how they plan to achieve that success, along with having perseverance to get through and/or bypass any bumps in the road. Spiritual success does require a goal and plan too, but you really must stick to it and be patient enough to endure different situations and hard times in life, all while staying calm with no temptation and just your goal in mind. Someone wanting to be a billionaire vs. someone who wants to achieve enlightenment or open their third eye is not that easy to compare, it depends on what the person believes in, and what type of person they are. overall, I would say they're both pretty hard, but spiritual success is more difficult.

How did the rock of the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains form? Choose the claim to eliminate *
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Claim 2 has to be eliminated

The young rock (mountain) becomes old.

Explanation:

All the mountains of the world are either young (high mountains such as the Himalaya) or old (low mountains such as the Pyrenees mountains). The latter is a low mountain range because time has had its erosive effect.

There is no such thing as minerals going from one rock or mountain to the other because there is only one. And it´s young or (becomes) old.
