On August 24, in the year 79 CE, the sky in Pompeii, Italy, grew dark and ominous. An orange glow illuminated the blackened sky.

When the city’s residents heard the first of what would be a terrifying series of earth-shaking rumbles, they looked to Mount Vesuvius, six kilometers in the distance. A pillar of gray ash was pouring from the volcano’s gaping mouth.
The residents of Pompeii were caught by surprise. Many of those who noticed the impending eruption grabbed their family members and their valuables and fled the city. As you can see from the picture, not everyone was so lucky.

a.
reminiscent
c.
excited
b.

Answer: d.  fearful

Explanation:

For someone who has gone through such a terrible disaster, this passage could only produce fear.

Mount Vesuvius´ eruption came unexpected, it devastated the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, killing thousands of people.

The sudden explosion was followed by 12 hours of volcanic ash and a hail of pumice stone showering Pompeii and forcing its citizens to escape in a panic, but many stayed, wishing the eruption not to be so bad, but they couldn´t survive the lethal asphyxiating air followed by a flood of volcanic mud that buried the city.

In this essay ralph waldo emerson describes his view of an ideal education. what are its defining characteristics
Darina [25.2K]

According to Ralph Waldo Emerson an ideal education is to nurture in a child the kind of education he is naturally inclined to, this can be seen through his interests, habits etc. He said when a child is forced to study with other children and his natural abilities are suppressed to match other children in that class, that is not a healthy education for the child as he has to get dragged behind because not every child is a genius. Emerson gives the example of Plotinus and Socrates to show their natural ability to teach and calls them “Natural Teachers”. He suggests that everyone should take part in “mutual pleasure of teaching and learning”. He adds that female force is preferable to male force in natural teaching as that is more sympathetic rather than controlling.

Irina-Kira [14]
<h3>Answer#1</h3><h2>(C) Middle East</h2>

Phoenicia is an old Greek word used to connect to the significant export of the country, textiles dyed Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc, and related to the main Canaanite port towns; not answering specifically to Phoenician art as a whole as it would have been known natively. Their civilization was established in city-states, comparable to those of old Greece, perhaps the most important of which were Tyre, Sidon, Arwad, Berytus, Byblos and Carthage.


<h3>Answer#4</h3><h2>(D) Tigris and Euphrates</h2>

The valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers made various productive regions in the Fertile Crescent. The old civilization of Mesopotamia grew in the land within the two rivers. The Fertile Crescent (also known as the "origin of civilization") is a crescent-shaped area where farming and old human civilizations like the Sumer and Ancient Egypt grew due to floods from the surrounding Nile, Euphrates and Tigris rivers.


<h3>Answer#5</h3><h2>(C) Exodus</h2>

The Exodus is the originating story of the Israelites. Published over the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, it speaks of the subjection that befell the children of Israel in Egypt, their freedom through the support of Yahweh and the prophecies at Sinai, and their wanderings in the wilderness up to boundaries of Canaan, the land their God has given them.

They created a system of 22 consonants into what became the alphabet used not only by English lecturers but by lecturers of many of the world's languages. These Phoenician sites were often in opposition with each other for power of the region. Because of this absence of cooperation, the Phoenicians were captured and compelled to pay tribute to the practice every empire in the region, including the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks.


<h3>Answer#7</h3><h2>(A) His code of law</h2>

Hammurabi, the ruler of Babylon, is best remembered for the construction of a code of laws recognised as the Code of Hammurabi, which was practised to control Mesopotamian community. Hammurabi was born circa 1810, BCE, in Babylon, now modern day Iraq. He modified an unpredictable number of city-states into a powerful empire that crossed ancient Mesopotamia. Hammurabi’s abiding contribution to the western community was his set of laws written on twelve stones and presented candidly for all to see.


<h3>Answer#8</h3><h2>(C) Development of Iron</h2><h2>(E) Use of cavalry and chariot forces</h2>

The Assyrian war machine was the most effective military force in the ancient world up until the fall of the empire in 612 BCE. The intrigue to its success was a professionally equipped standing army, iron weaponry, excellent engineering skills, useful tactics, and, most importantly, a complete ruthlessness which came to characterize the Assyrians to their neighbours and citizens and still adds itself to the reliability of Assyria in the modern day.


<h3>Answer#9</h3><h2>(C) It established a highly skilled professional army built around elite units.</h2>

The Persian Empire is the title given to a set of dynasties centred in modern-day Iran that crossed several centuries—from the sixth century B.C. to the twentieth century A.D. The original Persian Empire, established by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C., became one of the greatest empires in history, ranging from Europe’s Balkan Peninsula in the West to India’s Indus Valley in the East. This Iron Age dynasty, sometimes called the Achaemenid Empire, was a global hub of culture, faith, science, art and technology for more than 200 years.


<h3>Answer#10</h3><h2>(D) The is just one supreme god, but he has an evil opposite. </h2>
