Answer:

a. The colonists found Franklin awkward and ridiculous when he arrived in Philadelphia. This can be deduced from the thoughts of Mr. Read's daughter.

They are most likely to have had an experience similar to Franklin's because the transportation system was the same in most of the cities and since technology had not developed so much at that time for them to read about other places, a traveler from Philadelphia might have had the same experience in anther city.

b. Franklin was asked several sly questions by the by whom he asked of a place where a stranger could dwell. This likely showed that the colonists were suspicious of unknown visitors and eagerly anticipated independence.

Explanation:

In his autobiography, Franklin wrote of his arrival in Philadelphia. There he became short of funds. Being hungry he bought 3 pennies worth of bread which he ate as he walked down the street. Miss Reads who saw him walk by thought that he looked awkward and ridiculous. Anyone travelling to an unknown destination at that time, would have also experienced the challenges that Franklin faced.

The sly questions and the suspicious view the colonists had of Franklin were indicative of their desire to gain independence from the British rulers.

Why do you think priests were so influential in ancient Sumerian society?
ira [324]
In the ancient Sumerian society, the priests were so influential because people thought that they were the representatives of God. People beleived in God but they could not see them. The priests took advantage of the fear of god among people to become very influential in the Sumerian society. The common people were of the opinion that the Gods used to speak to them through the help of these priests. The priests were so powerful during those times that they even became rulers of certain city-states. Actually they were taking advantage of the beliefs of the common people.

Help pls!! How did the ideas of the scientific revolution were used to create an enlightenment in 18th century
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

the answer is The scientific method proved the validity of reason over religious dogmatism and superstitions that usually prevailed"

The Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke, Montesquieu or Rosseau. introduced ideas that challenged, and ended up derrocating, the power structures of the Old Regime. They promoted reason and scientifically-proved premises and hypothesis over religious dogmas and superstitions, based solely on obscure and unproved ideas imposed by privileged social groups to control those that they considered inferior.

The scientific method (observation, collecting data, testing, etc) was used to provide evidence to prove the validity of the ideas developed by this new generation of philosophers.
