Answer:
"What we call a triangle was really as round as the globe."
Explanation:
This is the quote that best supports the author's claim and purpose. The author wants us to know that the Triangle Trade was not really a triangle. Instead, it was a complex net of connections that spanned the whole world. During this century, almost every region of the world was engaged in trade in some way or another, including the Philippines, Latin America, India, France, England, the Netherlands, Spain, North America and Africa. Therefore, this trade was not triangular, but instead was as round as the globe.
The correct answer is B, 'a recent government report comparing the results of alternative and contemporary medicine for a specified disease'. Answer choice A is incorrect because posts on social networking sites are not reliable. Answer choice C is incorrect because this is clearly an advertisement, and not an actual study. Answer choice D is incorrect because the study is outdated, and better medicines may have been created since it was posted.

Encouragement to remember those who have died for the cause
Answer:
The culture in "Black Ships Before Troy" caused a hero to be seen as a traitor, while in "Heart of a Samurai" the culture almost prevented a hero from appearing.
Explanation:
"Black Ships Before Troy" presents a people with a culture very based on religion, where they believed that all the events that happened were due to the action of the gods. Good events were because the gods were happy, while bad events were caused by the wrath of the gods. In this case, when a hero tried to stop the horse sent to Troy and ended up dying before completing his mission, he was seen as a traitor who was rebuked by the gods.
In contrast, "Heart of a Samurai" shows how a boy who dreamed of being a samurai was prevented because his family was made up of fishermen and the culture said that young people should follow their parents' tragedy.
