The correct answer is D. Useless attempts to change fate

Explanation:

In both the myth and the play, the main characters of the story try to avoid a prediction or prophecy. In the case of the myth, Cronus wants to prevent his overthrow, while in the play, Odewale wants to avoid killing his father. However, despite their effort and actions at the end, the prophecy is fulfilled. This shows the fate can not be avoided and any attempt is useless. In this context, one motif (recurrent symbol) in these literary works is "useless attempts to change fate" because in both texts this general idea is shown through the plot and actions of the characters.

Write an essay that analyzes how a text explains the sequence of events that affect the discovery of the Rosetta Stone

Arada [10]

Answer:

Nobody knew how to read Ancient Egyptian when it was found. The Rosetta Stone has become a very useful piece of evidence, since the inscriptions say the same thing in three different languages. It took over two months to discover what the Rosetta Stone had to say, through the efforts of several people. A piece of rock that was written on and made to honor an Egyptian Pharaoh is the Rosetta Stone. In fact, the Rosetta stone today has many places and some are moved today, mostly because it makes it harder to sit and be robbed. Other museums have papers and other records that explain what the Rosetta Stone is like, since there is only one Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone was also discovered on 15 July 1799 during the digging of the foundations of an addition to a fort near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta. Apparently, they had built it into a very old wall. Pierre-François Bouchard, the officer in charge, understood the significance of the discovery.

To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful co

mezya [45]

Answer:

B. All South Africans share a connection to a beautiful land and have the opportunity for new beginnings.

Explanation:

Here's the excerpt you provided. I highlighted some key words that helped me arrive at B.

“Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change.”

The author says that "All South Africans share a connection" by using the word "us " rather than "I." He talks about a sense of "renewal." Renewal is another word for rebirth or "new beginnings." Thus, choice B makes the most sense.
