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.

As Rishabh / Ruchika, write a report in about 120-150 words for your school magazine. pls guys help its urgent
When we arrived at school today we had a very pleasant surprise. Our library has been improved and has devices that will not only make our research and reading more effective, but also present us with a more comfortable and less tiring environment that will positively influence our academic performance.
The library has a larger space, which may not only house more students but also acquire a larger and more complete arch than what we had before. However, this is not the only upgrade that we will be able to observe, since now the library allows us to have computers and internet access, which will make our research more complete because we will have access to numerous research sources and may even speed up the loan and return of books whenever we need them.
Improvements like this only bring positive results to our academic community and we should expect that other sectors of our school are contemplated.

how to write a diary entry using paragraph
Answer:
Separate the entry from any other existing entry by using a new line or an indentation.
Explanation:
A diary entry can be anything. Personally, if I were to write a diary entry, it would be a recount of something important from my day. The content of the entry will create the form.
The use of a paragraph is simply a way to isolate or separate the ideas from within the entry.

Write a story about someone who returned to a village or town after a long time away.( You should includefull details of why the person went away to show that it was an important part of your story
Answer: *THE PRODIGAL SON*
Everybody was shocked!!! Nobody could apprehend what was happening...here in front of them was the man they had long gone buried a year ago.Mutume,the unexpectedly alive man had been gone for a year without any explaination leaving the villagers to believe that he had either run away or been kidnapped.It was like he had vanished into thin air and yet here he was claiming to be back.His mother Kamene could not hold back the streams of tears running down her cheeks,leaving us in awe of whether they were tears of shock or happiness.Many ran away to the safety of their humble abode while the fearless few ran to him to confirm everyone's suspicion...was he a ghost?
His face was filled with shock when he was told that he was ''buried'' years ago.He sat down on a three-legged stool to narrate his side of the story to satisfy the unsatisfied..
''It was a new dawn when I decided to go to the city to look for a job to fend for our family,I could not bear the sight of their protruding bones and frail bodies anymore.I quietly tiptoed outside without saying my goodbye fully knowing that that would be an obstacle to whatever plan I had.I ran to the bus stop to catch the first bus to Kisumu town where I had decided to work.I looked at the job application in my hand and barely smiled oblivious of whatever the city had in store for me.Had I knew that that would be my near demise,I wouldn't have boarded the bus.
When I arrived in Kisumu city,I boarded another bus with the little that I had left and looked forward to my supposedly 'new home'.I kept thinking of what I would do once I got the job I so looked forward to,rent an apartment somewhere and immediately inform you of my whereabouts.I was harshly jolted back to reality by the conductor,''Young man pay the fare!''
I calmly slipped my hand into my pockets to fish out the money I had but I was in for a rude shock when I realised that my pockets were empty!What the hell was going on??I frantically searched my bag and my confirmed my suspicions...my money had been stolen!!The shabbily dressed conductor kept hurling insults at me worsening the situation,by now everyone on the bus was staring at me.
I tried reasoning with him but it only made the situation worse...judging by how I was dressed,he quickly concluded that I was in for a free ride.My heart sinked when he said,''Driver,stop the car..young man get off and don't argue with me,we have seen worse people than you claiming to have lost money to get mercy from people like us!''
What did he mean by ''people like us''?This were the kind of questions that circulated my mind at that instance.For all I can remember,I was left in the middle of nowhere with no money,no phone,nothing..just nothing!What was I to do now?Instant regrets flooded my mind as tears of despondency trickled down my face.I kept walking on to the land of nowhere for hours until I blacked out.
I remember waking up in a white room and hearing someone shout,''Doctor he's finally awake..!''
A man in a white lab coat came running in with nurses and they all started running all kinds of tests on me.As I came to learn later,I had practically been in a coma for a year!!The paramedics said that my case was a rare and difficult one since I had not been responding to all kinds of treatments.I was grateful to be alive and after a few hours of testing..they finally told me that I had been brought to the hospital by a good samaritan and that he had been paying all my bills even though the doctors had told him that I was no-more case.
Since I wanted to personally thank him..I looked for him the first thing when I got discharged from the hospital.He was a bright middle-aged man who offered me a well-paying job and the one who reminded me to inform you of my whereabouts...He offered to bring me here but I kindly declined his offer since he had already done so much for me.That's why I am here after a year,it was not intentional for me to make you worry and I apologise for anything I might have cost you.I am very happy to be back home with you all.''
Everyone paused for a while as if to process the miraculous story of this wonder man from their village then they broke into clapping and ululating for this prodigal son.There was a celebration to welcome him back home where he belonged...

Answer:
The correct answer is All of these.
Explanation:
Poetry appeals to the reader's emotions, tends to say a lot in a small space and uses metaphors to make comparisons between unlike thing.
Poetry is a literary genre that is characterized by being the most refined manifestation, through the word, of the feelings, emotions and reflections that human beings can express about beauty, love, life or death. As such, it can be composed in both verse and prose.
Formerly, poetry was written only in verses, governed by a set of rules on composition called meter.
However, modern poetry is characterized by the predominance of free verse, where the author has total freedom to arrange and organize the verses in the text, and seek their own rhythm, without ties of rhymes or metrics.
