Chapter I: The Cornerstone of LibertyThree little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What of the following best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh?
a
To introduce one source of the settlers' fears
b
To imply the new settlers would succeed
c
To suggest causes of the earlier failures
d
To create conflict for the new colonists

Answer:

The option that best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh is:

A. To introduce one source of the settlers' fears.

Explanation:

The lines below have the answer to the question:

Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

The author's purpose in including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh is to introduce one source of fear of the new settlers. The author believes the settlers certainly asked themselves about what had happened to the previous party sent to the New World. Not knowing what their fate had been added to the settlers' fears. They wondered if the same - whatever it was - would happen to them. Notice that, once they arrived, those same questions arose again. At first fascinated by the beauty of the country, the settlers soon began to think of the dangers that lurked all around them.

Match the reformer to his or her contribution to the reformation movement

Answers

Hello! I have found the names of the reformers and the options for the contributions from another source but I will just go over them one reformer at a time to avoid repetition!

Elizabeth I
Contribution: offered tolerance to Catholics as long as they showed loyalty to the English monarch

After the Religious Settlement of 1559 that crowned Queen Elizabeth I the Supreme Head of the Church, she faced pressure from the many Protestant refugees who wished for the queen to go against the Catholics which drove them away before her reign. However, she adopted a more careful approach and that is to tolerate all Catholics as long as they will just remain loyal to the monarchy.

John Wycliffe
Contribution: translated religious scripture into a language common people could understand

A professor at Oxford, Wycliffe believed that the current teachings of the Catholic Church go against what was stated in the Bible. Because of this, he decided to translate the manuscripts to English. The Bible was only available in Latin by then (a language not known by the common folks). He was then credited as the first producer of the hand-written English Bibles.

Martin Luther
Contribution: questioned the rightful extent of the pope’s religious authority

Martin Luther was the author of the very infamous "95 Theses" which mainly attacked the Catholic Church and its corruption particularly with the indulgences they are selling. He also believed that the main authority should go to the Bible. His work sparked the Protestant Reformation.

Metthew's cell phone plan charges $15 a monnth and 25 cents for every minute.If his bill for one month is $30.75,how many minutes did he use?Write and solve the equation.

Answers

15+ m*25= 30.75

30.75-15=15.75

15.75/25=.63

He used 63 minutes!!

Hope I helped:D

So the one time payment is $15, and the one with variable is $0.25, so the equation is 15+0.25X=30.75
in order to find out how many minutes he used, first subtract 15 from both sides, now ur left with:
0.25X=15.75
now to isolate the variable, divide 0.25 from both sides, 0.25 divided by 0.25 cancel out leaving u with the variable. divide 15.75 by 0.25
X=63
So Matthew used 63 minutes.

Nathan told Nadir that his nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition. In your own words, identify the case of the underlined pronoun as well as the antecedent to which it refers. If the reference is ambiguous or indefinite, rewrite the sentence to correct the error.

Answers

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined pronoun. Thus, the complete sentence is the following:

Nathan told Nadir that his nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.

Answer:

Case: nominative

Reference: ambiguous

Sentence rewritten: After seeing that Nadir was nervous, Nathan told him that nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.

Explanation:

The possessive adjective his functions as nominative case because the noun phrase his nerves functions as the subject of a verb. Besides, it creates ambiguity because it is not clear whose nerves it refers to - Nathan or Nadir's. As a result, it is necessary to rewrite the sentence to clarify whose nerves affect the horse's performance.

What does William Wordsworth mean by \"inward eye\" in the following bolded line?I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed—and gazed—but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,(They flash upon that inward eye)Which is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.A.) this poemB.)

Which sentence in this excerpt from Mohandas Gandhi’s “Banaras Hindu University Speech” is an example of the use of ethos as a persuasive device?I was present at the sessions of the great Congress in the month of December. There was a much vaster audience, and will you believe me when I tell you that the only speeches that touched the huge audience in Bombay were the speeches that were delivered in Hindustani? In Bombay, mind you, not in Banaras where everybody speaks Hindi. But between the vernaculars of the Bombay Presidency on the one hand and Hindi on the other, no such great dividing line exists as there does between English and the sister language of India; and the Congress audience was better able to follow the speakers in Hindi. I am hoping that this University will see to it that the youths who come to it will receive their instruction through the medium of their vernaculars.Our languages the reflection of ourselves, and if you tell me that our languages are too poor to express the best thought, then say that the sooner we are wiped out of existence the better for us. Is there a man who dreams that English can ever become the national language of India? Why this handicap on the nation?Just consider for one moment what an equal race our lads have to run with every English lad.
