anyone plz summarize this?Buying things today is so simple. Just enter a shop, say a book store, choose the desired book and pay for it. Long ago, before the invention of money, how did people trade?
The most primitive way of exchange should be the barter trade. In this form of transaction, people used goods to exchange for the things that they had in mind. For instance, if person A wanted a book and he had a spare goat, he must look for someone who had the exact opposite, that is, that someone, say person B, must have a spare book of person A's choice and is also in need of a goat. Having found such a person, the problem does not end here. A big goat may worth not only one book, hence person B may have to offer person A something else, say five chickens. However, he runs the risk of person A rejecting the offer as he may not need the chickens. The above example clearly illustrates the inefficiency of barter trading.
Many years later, the cumbersome barter trade finally gave way to the monetary form of exchange when the idea of money was invented. In the early days, almost anything could qualify as money: beads, shells and even fishing hooks. Then in a region near Turkey, gold coins were used as money. In the beginning, each coin had a different denomination. It was only later, in about 700 BC, that Gyges, the king of Lydia, standardized the value of each coin and even printed his name on the coins.
Monetary means of transaction at first beat the traditional barter trade. However, as time went by, the thought of carrying a ponderous pouch of coins for shopping appeared not only troublesome but thieves attracting. Hence, the Greek and Roman traders who bought goods from people faraway cities, invented checks to solve the problem. Not only are paper checks easy to carry around, they discouraged robbery as these checks can only be used by the person whose name is printed on the notes. Following this idea, banks later issued notes in exchange for gold deposited with them. These bank notes can then be used as cash. Finally, governments of today adopted the idea and began to print paper money, backed by gold for the country's use.
Today, besides enjoying the convenience of using paper notes as the mode of exchange, technology has led man to invent other means of transaction too like the credit and cash cards

Answer:

Sentence 3: I put some frozen chicken nuggets in the freezer.

Sentence 4: You should leave out the chicken to thaw.

Sentence 5: There is some canned corn in the pantry.

Answer and Explanation:

Even though this question is missing the instructions, we can assume it is a "fill in the blanks".

The sentence is missing a verb. Due to the position of "usually", we can say the verb that is missing either the verb "be" or a modal verb - main verbs would come after "usually", not before. Since there is no other verb in the sentence, we can eliminate modal verbs and choose verb "be" as the best option. Modal verbs need another verb to complement their meaning; the verb "be", in its turn, can work on its own.

The subject is compound, joined by "or". In this case, the verb agrees with the part of the subject that is closest to it. Since "attendant" is singular, the verb will also be singular. Therefore, the correct sentence would be:

- The pilot or flight attendant is usually alert during the flight.

B. “It is always painful to part from people whom one has known for a very brief space of time.”

Explanation:

The line from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest that can be considered an epigram is: “Were I fortunate enough to be Miss Prism’s pupil, I would hang upon her lips.”

An epigram is a short statement that is expressed in a clever and witty manner.

The last speech can be classified as an epigram because it is witty in nature. It would not be possible to literally hang upon Miss Prism's lips. That is figurative and witty.

Answer:

That medieval values were religiously motivated.

At first sight I didn´t, but to a certain degree I agree.

Explanation:

Dante's Inferno is the first part of three: Inferno, Purgatory and Paradiso.

The inferno describes the voyage of Dante with his guide Virgil through the different levels of hell. As the two other parts and Inferno clearly indicate, the (moral) values of Dante's work - that reflects the medieval time in which he lived - concentrate on the cornerstone of religion: your acts on earth will have its consequences in heaven or, more likely, in hell.  The religious dogma´s of the Middle Ages are clearly represented in the absolute faith that, if you´re unfaithfull, morally unjust or, even worse, worship the wrong  religion,  you´re bound to suffer in after-life.

Dante's hierarchy of hell goes from lust via other sins to violence and ends surprisingly with betrayal. For example we find Judas and Brutus at the highest, or last level of hell. Fraud also scores very high on the sin-scale of Dante´s inferno. I was tempted to disagree with Dante but later I realised that betrayal can leave even deeper wounds than violence does.
