Fortunately, the French had made a number of copies of the inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone. They did this by covering the surf

ace of the Stone with printer's ink, laying a sheet of paper on it, and rolling rubber rollers over it until good, clear impressions were obtained. Based on the word choice in this excerpt, how does Giblin feel about the French attempt to understand the writings on the Rosetta Stone? that it was a waste of time that it was worthwhile that it was impossible that it was amazing

Answer:

Based on word choice, Giblin feels:

B. that it was worthwhile.

Explanation:

We can easily eliminate options A and C, since there is nothing conveying a negative connotation in the excerpt. We are left with options B and D.

Let's take a look at option D first. It says Giblin thinks the process of obtaining copies of the stone was amazing. However, that is not what the word choice conveys. Had there been words such as "fantastic" or "incredible" in the excerpt, this option would have made sense. But that is not the case.

<u>Option B is the only correct one. The excerpt uses words such as "fortunately", "good", and "clear". Those words convey the idea that the process the French used was worthwhile. It not only worked, but worked well, effectively.</u>

Answer:

Spoken by Macbeth in Act V scene v, after Seyton brought the news of Lady Macbeth's death, implying at the meaninglessness of one's life.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "the queen, my lord, is dead." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "she should have died hereafter", and that "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale

/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

/ Signifying nothing." This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all,  life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.

Which are root words? Check all that apply
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Root words are parts of words which cannot be divided any further, but which have some kind of meaning on their own. Here, I believe that root words are cred, graph, and vis.

Cred (as found in credible, credibility), means something believable; graph (as in graphic) means to write; vis (as in visible) means to see. Anti, con, and post are all prefixes, which means they are added to words and cannot be root words thus.
