Answer:
While new philosophies were challenging old religious ideas, many people still believed that the gods of Olympus had a direct influence on the lives of mortal beings.
Explanation:
Old Greeks were polytheists, which means they believed in many gods, not just one. Their gods lived on Mount Olympus and included Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, etc. They believed that gods had an immediate effect on their lives and that their fates were controlled by them.
A bit later, during Sophocles's time, people started turning themselves towards innovation, politics, and philosophy more than religion, especially their old, polytheistic one.

Answer:
The theme of marriage is prevailing in the novel "Pride and Prejudice;" a novel by Jane Austen.
Explanation:
From the very beginning of the novel this theme was depicted to the reader,
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife..."
Though the topic of marriage is serious one, but the author had in an ironical manner portrayed the views of marriage that society have towards it. It is considered a business deal between the two families rather than love being the factor for the marriage.
As other parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are also concerned about the marriage of their five daughters. (Though it is only Mrs. Bennet who makes much of the effort for the same, Mr.s Bennet just sits down in his library.)
The lines in which we get the glimpse of ironical false claim of Mrs. Bennet going to length to achieve the goal of successful marriage of their daughters is found in the last Chapter of the book (61) and first few lines, quoted below,
"HAPPY for all her maternal feelings was the day on which Mrs. Bennet got rid of her two most deserving daughters. With what delighted pride she afterwards visited Mrs. Bingley, and talked of Mrs. Darcy, may be guessed. I wish I could say, for the sake of her family, that the accomplishment of her earnest desire in the establishment of so many of her children produced so happy an effect as to make her a sensible, amiable, well-informed woman for the rest of her life; though perhaps it was lucky for her husband, who might not have relished domestic felicity in so unusual a form, that she still was occasionally nervous and invariably silly."

Helium has a very low density. It is used daily in weather balloons to carry instruments that record temperature, humidity, and pressure readings in the atmosphere.
People with breathing problems may be treated with a mixture of helium and oxygen. Helium atoms are small and light. A helium-oxygen mixture can be pumped in and out of the lungs more easily than air. Helium-oxygen mixtures are also used in breathing tanks of deep-sea divers.
Using information from the passage, which statement is accurate?
1.A noble gas mixes well with other elements.
2.Gases usually are chemically active.
3.Helium is an example of a chemically inactive gas.
4.Helium-oxygen mixtures are used in weather balloons.
