(1) There are many examples of grand architecture in the world. (2) Some of the most impressive are buildings of the ancient city called Petra in Jordan. (3) Petra is the Greek word for "rock." (4) The early inhabitants of Petra—the Nabataeans—did not use wood or brick to make the structures, but instead, they carved them right out of the desert sandstone cliffs.
(5) Two thousand years ago, Petra was an important center of activity where caravans of travelers would pass through on their way to trade goods in other regions. (6) Their power and riches can still be seen today in the remains of their city.
(7) Although Petra was built in a rugged, dry desert, the Nabataeans made wise plans for collecting and storing water. (8) This water system was made of cisterns, or reservoirs, that held water and channels that directed water from one place to another.
(9) After thriving for about 1,000 years, Petra began to decline. (10) The trade routes that had once gone through the city were changed to go toward the sea. (11) In addition, an earthquake devastated the area. (12) The ruins of the city were rediscovered in the 1800s by a European traveler who disguised himself as a local Bedouin, or local Middle Eastern person, to find the remote location.
(13) Today, modern travelers can visit Petra and see its majesty in person; tours are available by foot, donkey, or camel. (14) Much of Petra remains to be seen; archaeologists have uncovered only 15 percent of it. (15) The rest of this city is still "lost" or underground.

Francie is revising her research paper on the Industrial Revolution in the United States. Read the section she’s working on at the moment:

In the United States, it was New England’s thriving textile industry that began the Industrial Revolution. The first U.S. textile mill was established by an Englishman who had immigrated to Massachusetts, bringing with him the new milling technologies that had already revolutionized industry in his home country. More mills soon followed, setting off a domino effect in the U.S. economy.

One area that was immediately impacted was the construction industry. The equipment in the new mills was powered by water, so raceways had to be built. Water was also an important means of transportation, which necessitated the construction of canals to link natural waterways.

Read this excerpt from a speech delivered by President Barack Obama on gun violence in the United States. For which two purposes did the president deliver this speech? Over these past five days, a discussion has reemerged as to what we might do not only to deter mass shootings in the future, but to reduce the epidemic of gun violence that plagues this country every single day. And it’s encouraging that people of all different backgrounds and beliefs and political persuasions have been willing to challenge some old assumptions and change longstanding positions. That conversation has to continue. But this time, the words need to lead to action. We know this is a complex issue that stirs deeply held passions and political divides. And as I said on Sunday night, there’s no law or set of laws that can prevent every senseless act of violence in our society. We’re going to need to work on making access to mental health care at least as easy as access to a gun. We’re going to need to look more closely at a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence. And any actions we must take must begin inside the home and inside our hearts. But the fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing. The fact that we can’t prevent every act of violence doesn’t mean we can’t steadily reduce the violence, and prevent the very worst violence. to state that mass shootings can be prevented and reduced with focused action to inform the public that gun violence is on the rise in the United States to make people understand the complex nature of gun violence as a social evil to explain the reasons why gun violence is increasing in the United States to state that Americans can reduce violence but cannot end violence in general

position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt's time?
If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the
