Answer: a sense of oppression and domination

Explanation:

The phrase that best describes the connotation of the word “reigns" is a sense of oppression and domination.

Reign means to exercise sovereign power or to be able to exercise authority over someone or a nation. American reigns without a rival implies the domineering power that the country has over others.

exis [7]
Short Summary: Richard (Gloucester) informs the audience of his emotional state and his plan to take over the throne. 

Long Summary: 
Richard III, at this point just the Duke of Gloucester, comes out to give the audience some insight into his state of mind and also the actions that have been happening before the play started. Even though the kingdom is in a state of peace, Richard isn't happy about it. He shares with the audience his plan to dethrone his brother (Edward IV), the current king, so that he can become king himself. The first thing he plans is to use rumors to make Edward (who is ill) suspicious of Clarence, their other brother.

Clarence enters, surrounded by guards because Richard's rumors have started to take hold, to be escorted to the Tower of London to be imprisoned. Richard uses this conversation to pretend he feels bad for Clarence and suggest that the rumors were started by Edward's wife Elizabeth or his mistress Lady Shore. He says to Clarence that he is going to try to get him free, but then when Clarence leaves he says to the audience that he is so happy to see him in prison.

Lord Hastings is the next to enter, just recently freed from the Tower. Richard informs him that Edward is sick and when Hastings leaves Richard tells the audience how happy he is about Edward's illness. He needs Clarence to die first so that he becomes the legal heir, then when Edward dies he will take the throne. Additionally, Richard wants to convince Lady Anne to marry him. His family was responsible for killing her previous husband (Henry VI, the former king), but Richard is excited to get her to marry him anyway.

polet [3.4K]

Dear friends, today we are gathered to say goodbye to Don Quixote, a great man, whom I have sweet memories and that will never be erased from my mind. Don Quixote was a dreamer, intelligent and courageous. Many called him crazy and throughout his life he had to live with the humiliation and mockery of his closest friends who saw him as insane for living his own convictions. I confess that I was one of those and I regret not having given my attention to him before. I believe his friends would also be sorry if they heard him without judgment, as I did when I decided to be his faithful squire.

Don Quixote was a knight inside and out, he dared to keep the wonderful world of fantasy in our cruel reality. He was noble, kind, generous and passionate ... in love with life, books, adventures, landscapes and fantasy. Today he promotes his latest adventure and while we say goodbye I ask him not to be sad to continue the walk without me, because I know that when we meet again, our trips will be even more profitable.

Select the best evidence to support the inference that sailors often used shorelines and islands to help them know their locatio
NARA [144]

Answer:

They have no map.

Explanation:

Sailors often used shorelines and islands to help them know their location because they have no map from which they got guidance. For example, an old sailor does not use map for traveling in the ocean due to its experience and some identification or symbols which he remembered that give him information about the way. These identification or symbols must be shorelines and islands because there is no other thing present in the ocean except these so the sailors used these symbols to know their location.
