Social Studies

8 0

This question is incomplete because the book is not given, but it can be easily found on the internet.

Explanation

The text deals with the kidnapping of Proserpina, perpetrated by Pluto who wanted her as his wife. This kidnapping was done with the approval of Jupiter (Proserpina's father and Pluto's brother). However, Ceres (Proserpina's mother) did not know anything about this plan, so when her daughter was kidnapped she had a time of depression and anguish, which had negative consequences on agriculture (because Ceres is the goddess of Agriculture). So, Other gods asked Ceres to allow the crops and the fertility of the soils to which she replied that she would if Pluto released her daughter. Once Pluto knew this, he decided to free Proserpina, but he tricked her, making her eat pomegranate seeds (the sacred food of the underworld).

When Proserpina came to her mother she told him that she had eaten these seeds, and her mother was alarmed because this would force Proserpina to be the queen of the underworld and to visit his husband Pluto for half a year, every year. Therefore, the seasons originated because when Proserpina must go to the underworld, her mother becomes sad causing the autumn and winter seasons, and when she returns with her mother they are the spring and summer seasons. So the correct answer is A. Jupiter.

Jack is camping in the woods. While stargazing, he notices a very faint light in the distance. The light is so faint that he can
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Absolute

Explanation:

In psychology of perception, the concept of absolute threshold refers to the lowest level of a stimulus that would make it detectable by the human senses. In other words, is the lowest level of something that a person would perceive.

In this example, Jack notices a very faint light that he can barely sees (but he can see it anyway) while his friend doesn't notice it. We can see that the light <u>was so weak it was hardly detectable by the eyes </u>(and Jack's friend didn't notice it). Since the light was so weak, we can say that it was at the lowest level that would make it detectable by humans and therefore is at the absolute threshold.
