Read the following text, excerpted from "Egypt's Master Builders," by Noreen Doyle. Then, write three to five sentences summarizing the main ideas of the excerpt.

Egypt is rich in many kinds of stone suitable for building. Limestone and sandstone were quarried from the hills using picks made of stone that was denser than the limestone or sandstone. When builders needed to break apart a hard stone such as granite, they had workers use balls of dolerite, a very dense rock. Quarrying was extremely difficult work and usually assigned to prisoners of war or convicted criminals. Sometimes, big levers, made from beams of wood, were used to pry a block free. A single huge blockof stone is called a monolith. Monolithic obelisks and colossal statues could weigh more than 1,000 tons each. To move stone blocks, the Egyptians built roadways and ramps near quarries and building sites. They placed the stone on sledges with wooden runners and poured water in front of the sledge to make the roadway muddy and slippery. Hundreds of men might be needed to haul the heaviest loads. Logs were also used as rollers on which to slide the blocks. Boats made it easier to transport building materials over long distances.

What policy did Britain pursue during the reign of William and Mary?

Answers

Answer:

The English Bill of Rights

Explanation:

The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution. A more contentious argument is that the constitutional changes made property rights more secure and thus promoted economic development.

The English Bill of Rights (1689) was drawn up by Parliament and signed by William and Mary in 1689. The bill was conceived to ensure that the power of the monarchy would be, in the future, limited and that Parliament could function free from royal interference.

William and Mary proclaimed joint sovereigns of Britain. The Bill of Rights, which greatly limited royal power and broadened constitutional law, granted Parliament control of finances and the army and prescribed the future line of royal succession, declaring that no Roman Catholic would ever be sovereign of England.

100% Correct, Just finished it myself.

The stock market crash was that the investors made high-risk purchases. The Fair labor standards act established a federal minimum wage and prohibited child labor. The plan was to strike the Axis powers in Italy and  France, forcing Germany to fight on numerous fronts.

What is stock market?

A marketplace where buyers and sellers together trade equity shares in public companies is called stock market.

Buyers bought shares "on margin," borrowing money to make a tiny down payment and then selling at a much higher price before the whole payment was due, which worked well as long as prices continued to increase, which led to the crash in the stock market.

What is Fair Labor Standards Act?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a United States statute that aims to protect workers from discriminatory wage practices.

Fair Labor Standards Act, largely regarded as the New Deal's final major legislative achievement, established a 40-hour workday, prohibited child labor, and established a minimum wage of 25 cents per hour, which grew to 40 cents per hour over a seven-year period.

What do you understand by strategic advantage?

Strategic advantage means a feature or method of operation that sets it apart from the competition.

The strategic advantage of invading France on D-Day to strike the Axis powers in Italy and France, forcing Germany to fight several wars.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D. stock market crashed due to Investors making high-risk purchases and buying stocks with small down payments, Option A Fair Labor Standards Act, and Option D. The strategic advantage of invading France D-Day as it created a war with multiple fronts for Germany.

How might people tried to take advantage of the fact that Rome was ruling an extensive empire with a government meant for a small city and the fact that there was no clear heir once one died

Answers

One of the main problems that resulted from the large size of the Roman Empire was that of ensuring that political control reached every corner of the empire. While the area surrounding the cities of Rome and Constantinople were easily controlled, more remote areas of the Empire became harder to account for. This problem grew as the "barbarian" groups that surrounded the Empire became stronger.

The fact that the government was set up to rule a small city meant that it was not able to oversee remote areas effectively. In turn, this allowed such areas to develop alternative structures of power. This was enhanced by the fact that there was no clear heir when the emperor died. Because of this, people did not feel a strong attachment to the government, and instead felt closer to their local leaders. This allowed people to take advantage of the situation by becoming leaders in their communities. Such leaders enjoyed an amount of privilege and respect that was incompatible with the Roman system. Such fragmentation of political power set the foundations for the development of feudalism and the relationships between lords and vassals after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Why did the North/Union win the Civil War? (Explain and
give at least 3 reasons)

Answers

Answer:

1. The North was more industrial and produced 94 percent of the USA's pig iron and 97 percent of its firearms.

2. The North even had a richer, more varied agriculture than the South.

3. The Union had a larger navy, blocking all efforts from the Confederacy to trade with Europe.

Explanation:

The North had a population of 22 million people against the 9 million in the South (of whom almost half were slaves.)The North controlled both the shipping and railroad avenues, allowing them to trade and to get supplies fairly quickly.

The Union had more support: four slave states still remained loyal and not everybody in the 11 Confederate states were on the Confederate side. There were still plenty of people in the South that supported the Union.

Many slaves fled to the Union armies, providing even more manpower.

The South squandered their resources early in the war by focussing on conventional offensives instead of non-conventional raids on the Union’s transportation and communication infrastructure.
