<span>In this excerpt in part five of Zeitoun, the word that best describes the tone of the excerpt is supportive. The
support is shown through his encouragement not to stop working hard when it seems
like there is no progress. Those words of support he direct to anyone he sees
by assuring them that progress is being made, foundations strengthened and that
only by hard work together they can keep work getting done.</span>

I honestly have no clue what this means but yeah
Two main causes of Arab Israel conflicts in the twentieth century were:
a) the division of <span>Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states.
This general statement is quite known, as all three monotheistic religions claim ownership of the Holy Land.
We can generally say that after the Crusades, Christians remained out of the conflict due to the massive losses they faced when they had tried to invade and conquer it (when Salah Al deen was at power, before the rise of the Ottoman empire).
I am not sure about this one, but I assume the best answer would be D)</span><span>US support for Israels military

It's a generally known fact that the US is a close ally of Israel, and this is mainly why there are immense issues and conflicts between the two religions whom are living in the same territory/land.

The quote “... any Indian who received news of the Spaniards could have also easily received the infection” refers to the fact that when the Spanish explorers advanced into Central America, the diseases they were carrying often spread faster than them, including ahead of them.
The context is the so-called Columbian Exchange (after Christopher Columbus), which is the large exchange of animals, food, culture, people, techniques, and diseases that took place between Native Americans (or Indians) and Europeans after 1492.
The quote focuses on one particular aspect of this exchange: the spread of infections. While the Indians did contaminate the Europeans with some of their diseases, like syphilis, many infections destroyed Native American lives because they had not developed a resistance to them like Europeans did. These included measles and smallpox, which were introduced in America through the Caribbean in the early 16th century.
