Answer:

B. The fifth sentence elaborates on an assertion made in the preceding sentence.

Explanation:

Answer B

Correct. In the fourth sentence, the authors make a claim about the role of mathematics in the sciences, asserting that “the more [mathematics] can be applied usefully within a science, the more advanced the science.” The fifth sentence begins with the conjunction “For,” which is commonly used to introduce reasoning that explains or clarifies an earlier statement. And indeed, the fifth sentence does explain why the application of mathematics helps advance a science: because mathematics functions as both a precise language and a means of measurement.

Bakit nagalit ang mga Tsino sa simula ng pamumuno ng mga Manchu?
matrenka [14]
Ang emperyo ng Tsina ay sinakop ng halos 120,000 Manchus. ... Noong 1644, sinamantala ng Manchus ang paghihimagsik at kaguluhan sa emperyo ng Tsina at lumipat sa timog. Bumubuo ng isang alyansa sa isang loyalistang heneral ng Ming, pumasok sila sa Beijing noong Hunyo at halos agad na kumuha ng kapangyarihan para sa kanilang sarili.

Ang Manchu Conquest ng Tsina ay na-spark noong Abril 1618 nang magpalabas ng proklamasyon ang pinuno ng tribong Jurchen na si Nurhaci mula sa rehiyon ng Manchurian na naglilista ng pitong mga hinaing laban sa naghaharing dinastiyang Ming.
