Im sorry its so long ill give brainliest to whoever anwsers it correctly.

Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth? By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish By changing what Midas wishes for By resolving Midas's conflict sooner By showing what happens to Midas's daughter

Which phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers convey a commendable tone toward Ptolemy’s work?

he name, Ptolemy, appears to have been a common one in Egypt in those days. The time at which he lived is fixed by the fact that his first recorded observation was made in 127 AD, and his last in 151 AD. When we add that he seems to have lived in or near Alexandria, or to use his own words, "on the parallel of Alexandria," we have said everything that can be said so far as his individuality is concerned.

Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him. He incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories. His speculations, even when they were, as we now know, quite erroneous, had such an astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts of nature that they commanded universal assent. Even in these modern days we not infrequently find lovers of paradox who maintain that Ptolemy's doctrines not only seem true, but actually are true.

A.) so far as his individuality is concerned

B.) greatest figure in ancient astronomy

C.) gathered up the wisdom

D.) illumined it with his theories

E.) astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts

Answer:

B. "greatest figure in ancient in astronomy"

C. "he gathered up the wisdom"

D. "illumined it with his theories"

E. "astonishing verisimilitude to the actual act"

Explanation:

The author acknowledges Ptolemy's work and contributions to astronomy, although some of his works and theories were later found to be wrong.

He calls him the greatest figure in ancient astronomy and says that he gathered up wisdom, brought light with his theories, and helped advance astronomy. He believes that even if some of the theories were wrong, they were similar to true facts.

Answer:

Secrets are not hard to keep.

Explanation:

It is hard to keep many things hidden. For instance, it is difficult to keep a secret plane hidden, for you will need a secret underground bunker. It is difficult to keep a secret orchestra hidden, for you will need instruments and a sound-proof room. However, it is not difficult to keep a secret about the plane or the orchestra, for you can just whisper it into the ear of a trusted associate. Many things in this world are easy to find out, but a secret is not one of them.

Answer:

Is

Explanation:

Yes, I have a secret that I haven't told anyone. Secrets can sometimes be impossible to keep, sometimes possible. Because you feel to tell the other person that secret. No keeping secrets cannot be a negative experience. But sometimes keeping secrets are a bit negative.

Skimming

Explanation:

Skimming is defined as the reading strategy in which the reader undertakes a quick or rapid reading of the text to get a general idea of the content/material. It involves rapid eye movement to quickly move through the text and understand the overall tone and impression provided by the specific content. It assists in determining whether the entire text must be read or not especially while conducting a research and also to know how a specific source is distinct from the other. Thus, taking a 'quick look over text to get a general idea of the content' is characterized as 'skimming.'

Answer and Explanation:

Sanger Rainsford is the main character in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." From the beginning of the short story until its ending, Rainsford endures hardship that is bound to make him grow and develop as a person. His internal journey, his change as a human being, is certainly affected by external events, the most important one originating with his meeting General Zaroff.

At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is quite the arrogant hunter. He reveals in a dialog his lack of empathy for his prey. Rainsford thinks the world can be divided into hunters and huntees, and that he is lucky to belong to the former instead of the latter. The huntees, according to his philosophy, do not really deserve any pity or sympathy. This is just how life goes.

However, Rainsford ends in Zaroff's private island only to find out what it feels like to be the huntee. The general is also a hunter who, very much like Rainsford himself, does not believe in empathizing with his prey. There is a catch in his philosophy, though. General Zaroff believes that applies to hunting men. He has grown tired of hunting irrational beasts and, looking for a more thrilling challenge, he has begun hunting human beings like himself.

Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt alongside him, but Rainsford refuses, calling it murder. The general decides then to hunt Rainsford instead. Upon becoming the prey, Rainsford's internal journey is suddenly veered to a completely different path. He can no longer be the arrogant hunter he once was. He now understands the fear, the desperation that the animals he has hunted have felt. Facing death inevitably brings with it the instinctive wish to survive. No matter if rational or irrational, every living being in the world wishes to avoid death and remain alive. Rainsford is similar to any other animal.
