According to “The Thrill of the Chase,” what kind of treasure is in the treasure chest? 1Points
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Located above 5,000 ft and below 10,200 ft.

♦At least 8.25 miles North of Santa Fe, New Mexico

♦Not in grave yard

♦Not in out house…..not associated with a structure

♦Not in a mine, tunnel, or cave

♦Where warm waters halt is not a dam.

♦Chest and contents weigh 42lbs. (Fenn said 44lbs. in one email, but has said 42 several other times)

♦Chest is 10x10x5 inches and made of Bronze

♦Forrest published a map in his book Too Far To Walk and told us the chest is hidden somewhere on that map

♦The treasure is in one of 4 states: Montana, Wyoming, Colorado or New Mexico

♦“Begin it where warm waters halt” is the first clue

Subjective information:

♦Don’t go where an eighty year old man couldn’t go

♦Not associated with a structure……what does “associated” mean?

Def: Connect (something) with something else because they occur together or one produces another Does this rule out it being in town? Could it be in a front yard, park, Memorial, etc. etc.; as long as it is not in a structure?

♦Seasonal search: Since it’s above 5,000 ft. just about all of the search area will be impacted by some snow. As the elevation increases the “search season” decreases.

♦ There are nine clues in the poem.

♦ Start at beginning

Concerning the “at least 8.25 miles north of Santa Fe” clue that Forrest gave us.

The clue was originally handed out in a comment Forrest made on a story Richard Saunier wrote for his blog “Mountain Walk”. The date was April 16, 2012 when Richard published his story titled: Forrest Fenn: Land Surveyor in which Richard lays out his theory that Forrest has given us clues as to where he has hidden the chest in the form of metes and bounds. The next day, April 17th Forrest left a comment on Richard’s blog that reads in its entirety the following:

“Since Richard mentioned the olden days lets harken to 1620 when universal land measures first became law in England and America. As you rode your horse into town you had to pass 80 telephone poles in order to reach a mile because they were 1 chain apart, or 66 feet. And each chain had 100 links, if you wanted to break it down further. Road rights-of-way also were 1 chain wide. And 80 square chains made a square mile, or 640 acres – and that was 1 section of land.

But if you’d rather count fence posts you had to pass 320 in order to reach a mile because they were a rod apart, or 16.5 feet. And since everyone knew that an acre was 10 square chains (43,560 square feet) it was easy to tell how many acres were in your neighbor’s farm.

Some aspects of those measures are still in use today in the horse racing business because a furlong is 10 chains in length, or 660 feet. You should feel smarter now because that’s so easy.

If you want to apply those important figures into the thrill of the chase I will give you an additional clue. The Treasure chest full of gold and precious jewels is more than 66,000 links north of Santa Fe.”

After Forrest left that comment others did the math

100 links = 1 chain

66,000 links = 660 chains (66,000 ÷ 100)

1 chain = 66 feet

660 chains = 43560 feet (660 x 66) = 8.25 miles

Read the passage.
astraxan [27]

Answer: B. Trenton Place is also home to Big Sky Theater. . . . one of the largest theaters in the city, equipped to host concerts, plays, and seminars.

Explanation: B is the answer because it doesn't leave you feeling like you're missing a piece of information when reading it, unlike the other options. In option A, it only talks about the building itself, not what it's used for. Option C gives you a specific example, which isn't helpful because it doesn't give you a clear idea of Trenton Place. Option D is hardly important because it's talking about a prediction of crowd numbers.

Hope this helped!

3. mother said that he had to do his home-<br>work then. (Into direct speech)<br>-​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Mother said "He has to do his homework now."

Explanation:

When describing something that someone said directly is called direct speech while reporting the same event without the speech marks and not using the exact same words is known as reporting speech. To change between the two requires the change in the tense of the verbs and also some phrases or time words, according to their structure. For example, yesterday is changed to the previous day in the indirect speech and so on.

The given indirect speech "mother said that he had to do his home-work" will be changed into the direct speech as given below-

<u><em>Mother said, "He has to do his home-work now."</em></u>

Here, the apparent changes are the speech marks (" "), the comma after "said", and the change in "then" to "now".

Which of the following sentences uses language literally?
zubka84 [21]
The answer is "I went to one class to another all day." It is using language literally as that person actually did go from one class to another, while in the other sentences, figurative language (IE exaggerated or personified language) is used to express the author's point.
