Answer:

True

Explanation:

The model of the universe developed by Nicolas Copernicus gave better predictions than the model of Ptolemy. The model of Ptolemy had prevailed for centuries, and it placed the Earth at the center of the universe. However, Copernicus accurately established that the sun was located at the center of the solar system. Moreover, Copernicus also established that the Earth is only one of many planets, that the Sun is stationary and that the Earth moves in three different ways (daily, annual, and annual tilting), among other astronomical principles.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

This phrase means that nonalignment allowed underdeveloped nations to receive financial assistance from foreign nations without the imposition of conditions.

Explanation:

To "attach strings" to a particular thing is an idiom that means "giving on a condition". The phrase from the passage is saying that nonalignment has several benefits, one of which is that impoverished and underdeveloped countries suffering the aftermath of World War II can benefit and receive assistance from developed nations without these developed nations subjecting them to some conditions.

An example is given in the passage of the United States refusing to help Egypt in building the Aswan Dam because they sought Communist help. The strings attached to the help by the United States is dissociation from communist nations. Nonalignment enabled Egypt to get the help they needed from the Soviet Union.

Plant material that accumulates and hardens on the floor of a swamp is
Semenov [28]

Answer:

F Anthracite (the hardest coal)

Explanation:

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is formed from plant materials. These plant materials must have been trapped and compacted in an environment where they are not able decay. Such an environment is a swamp.

The first grade of coal that forms initially in such an environment is called PEAT. Peat is soft coal that still contains some plant materials. It has a high moisture content and the amount of carbon is still quite low.

With increasing pressure and compaction, PEAT grades into LIGNITE which has more carbon atoms in it. Lignite is more combustible although it is quite soft too. Lignite grades into SUB-BITUMINOUS coal and then BITUMIOUS coal.

The highest grade of coal is ANTHRACITE which is a hard coal. It has very little moisture content and rich carbon percentage in it. Anthracite yields more energy compared to other forms of coal. Anthracite is basically coal that forms at the greastest pressure. Beyond this pressure, a metamorphic transformation occurs and the coals changes to graphite.

Based on increasing pressure:

PEAT< LIGNITE< BITUMINOUS COAL < ANTHRACITE
