English

Answer:

Explanation:

Solids are divided into two main categories, crystalline solids and amorphous solids, based on how the particles are arranged.

Crystalline solids, or crystals, are regarded as "true solids." Minerals are crystalline solids. Common table salt is one example of this kind of solid. In crystalline solids, the atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in an ordered and symmetrical pattern that is repeated over the entire crystal.

Crystalline solids also exhibit anisotropy. This means that properties such as refractive index (how much light bends when passing through the substance), conductivity (how well it conducts electricity) and tensile strength (the force required to break it apart) will vary depending on the direction from which a force is applied. Crystalline solids also exhibit cleavage; when broken apart, the pieces will have planed surfaces, or straight edges.

There are four types of crystalline solids: ionic solids, molecular solids, network covalent solids and metallic solids.

In amorphous solids (literally "solids without form"), the particles do not have a repeating lattice pattern. They are also called "pseudo solids." Examples of amorphous solids include glass, rubber, gels and most plastics. An amorphous solid does not have a definite melting point; instead, it melts gradually over a range of temperatures, because the bonds do not break all at once. This means an amorphous solid will melt into a soft, malleable state (think candle wax or molten glass) before turning completely into a liquid.

Amorphous solids have no characteristic symmetry, so they do not have regular planes of cleavage when cut; the edges may be curved. They are called isotropic because properties such as refractive index, conductivity and tensile strength are equal regardless of the direction in which a force is applied.

The word proceeded comes from the latin prefix pro- (before,forward,or in front of) and the latin root ceed (go,withdrawn,or yie
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Proceed (forward & go = to go forward) + ed (simple past tense) = Proceeded

Explanation:

The mentioned word was created from the two Latin words mentioned above which were firstly used in the French language as the word procederer. The word procederer comes from Latin language and it is the mixture of the “CEDERE-GO” and the prefix “PRO-FORWARD”.

It was only in the Middle-Ages that the English society had started using this particular word in the form PROCEED which has several meanings in English Language today:

To proceed = to continue doing something

To proceed = to go forward with your plans or actions

You may proceed = the most common way in terms of politeness to say to someone that he or she can continue with his/her work, intentions or other actions

In your question, the mentioned word is in the simple past tense (+ed)

Examples of Proceed + ed:

  1. They proceeded with their plans.
  2. We proceeded to the exit.

Ratling [72]

The literary device used in these lines is Personification.

The personification is a figure of speech in which a thing is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the capacity to act like human beings. This device makes the piece more interesting to read and makes it more sensitive to the reader.

gayaneshka [121]

The best strategy you can use to clarify the concept of elective franchise is option 4: Use context clues within the sentence itself.

The sentence that includes the term "elective franchise" provides you with the following clues: "<em>this first right of a citizen</em>" and "<em>leaving her without represenation in the halls of legislation</em>". These clues help you understand the meaning of elective franchise. Thus, the concept can be explained as the right a citizen has to vote and to be represented.
