Answers
Answer:
This aspect of ancient Greek culture is symbolized in the passage in the following way:
A. The Sirens appear enchanting, but they are lethal.
Explanation:
Ulysses, the Sirens, and Circe are all characters in the famous epic poem "The Odyssey" by Greek poet Homer. Ulysses, also called Odysseus, takes several years to finally go back home after the Trojan War. During his journey, he runs into monsters, witches, and enchanted creatures.
The Sirens are what we usually call mermaids. They are used in the passage as a symbol to represent the two different aspects of the sea: its beauty and its deadliness. The Sirens at first appear enchanting. They are beautiful and sing a most appealing song. However, they are lethal. Their song seems to hypnotize men and lure them to their death by drowning. The same can be said of the sea. It lures people with its immensity and beauty, but it also kills them.

4. Standing up and walking across the room.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Coming now to the other qualities mentioned above, I say that every prince ought to desire to be considered clement and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this clemency. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed. Therefore a prince, so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal, ought not to mind the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise, from which follow murders or robberies; for these are wont to injure the whole people, whilst those executions which originate with a prince offend the individual only.
How does the repetition of the words cruel and cruelty affect the tone of the paragraph?
Answers
Answer:
The repetition of the words "cruel" and "cruelty" results in a manner of insistence and places a heavy emphasis on these characteristics deemed less detrimental than certain others (such as mercy). It highlights the importance, value, and role of this quality according to Machiavelli. This repetition also serves to counterpoise the negative connotations one may instinctively associate with the word "cruelty" and render it neutral. It brings a certain intensity to Machiavelli's tone.

Which of the following people in the article provides the MOST support for the following idea? Gathering data from cellphones is NOT a violation of privacy.
Answers
Answer: Andrew R. Sriubas
Explanation:
This question is based on the article, "Smart billboards are checking you out - and making judgements".
In this article, Andrew Sriubas, chief commercial officer at OUTFRONT Media, tells of how the billboards will be able to read the data of cellphones but not who owns the data. It will simply read things like their home address, ethnicity and age and recommend ads based on that.
Sriubas does not believe this to be an invasion of privacy because the more intimate details of the person will not be known such as their name.

2. HE HAD VERY BAD HEALTH. HE LIVES VERY CAREFULLY. IT IS INEXPLICABLE TO THE DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR HAS ATTENDED HIM FOR YEARS. HE TOLD ME THIS
Answers
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer: He told me that the doctor that has attended him for years can´t explain why he has very bad health even though he lives very carefully.
Explanation:
The question requires combining the set of Simple sentences into one Complex sentence.
A complex sentence contains an independent clause (one that can stand alone as a sentence) and at least one dependent clause, which cannot stand alone despite having a subject and a verb. The clauses, then, are not equal, and there has to be a coordinating conjunction that establishes the rank of one or more of the clauses to make them less equal.
In this example, the coordinating conjunctions used are "that" and "even though."

Directions: As explained earlier in this chapter, an inference is something a reader learns from a text through information that was never directly given, stated, or explained by the author. Review the information about inferences and the story if necessary, and then answer the question below.
1.
Remember that an inference is information given in a story that is not directly stated by the author, but it is still very important in order to understand a story. Place a checkmark next to each inference the reader needed to make in order to understand "The Cask of Amontillado":
Montresor and Fortunato are wearing costumes because it is carnival time.
One reason Montresor is wearing a costume is to be sure no one recognizes him when he is walking back to his house with Fortunato.
Fortunato was a competitive person because he got jealous when he thought Luchesi was going to taste the Amontillado.
Montresor leads Fortunato down into the catacombs where many people were buried.
Montresor and Fortunato were down in the catacombs until midnight.
Montresor was upset because Fortunato had seriously offended him and wanted revenge.
No one ever found Fortunato, who Montresor buried alive down in the catacombs.
Montresor kept giving Fortunato wine because he knew he could not resist it and wanted Fortunato to keep following him.

So I'm going into my freshman year in high school on August 12th and I wanted to ask some questions to you guys what can I do to survive my 9th grade year also study tips and things to do to be really good in class supplies I can use and how I can have a good GPA also want to talk about final exams and all that stuff
Answers
Answer: Be committed, do not be afraid to ask questions, track your grade, stand up for yourself, do not let your peers change you.
Explanation: The assignments are going to get hard, so you must stay committed and put in the effort. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to get back up. Do not make a habit out of procrastination. If you don't understand something, do not be afraid to ask questions, if a good GPA is what your aim is, then it's important to get an understanding. Stay current with your grades, it's important to know your standings, so that you know what you mastered, and what still needs more practice. Always stand up for yourself, do not allow yourself to get picked on. If people see you to be weak, and an easy prey, they will challenge and clown you in order to boost their clout. And most importantly, do not allow your peers to change you. stay away from drugs, they're addictive, and they ruin your body. If your goal is to get good grades, then make sure your managing your time wisely. Your friends might want to talk during class, but it's important that you listen, they will want to hangout, but make sure you've mastered or have at least a decent understanding of all your class lessons before proceeding into leisure. Now remember, this is only if your goal is to be a good student. I on the other hand don't follow any of these rules except the "don't do drugs". I'm legit answering your question for brainly points so I can continue cheating my summer school homework lol. I'm not the best example, but I'm a Sophomore soon to be Junior in August who has a good concept and understanding of how High School works..
In approaching this problem, we cannot turn
the clock back to 1868, when the Amendment
was adopted, or even to 1896, when Plessy v.
Ferguson was written. We must consider
public education in the light of its full
development and its present place in
American life throughout the Nation. Only in
this way can it be determined if segregation
in public schools deprives these plaintiffs of
the equal protection of the laws.
-Brown v. Board of Education,

Why did the court choose not to turn the clock

Thank you.
