In the excerpt above, the word surmounted most nearly means "CROWNED".

The extract speaks of a man, and makes special emphasis on his clothing. It details his clothes from head to toe, and after mentioning the word "surmounted" it details the conical hat and the bells he had on his head. In his clothing, these functioned as a kind of crown, from there that "surmounted" most nearly means crowned in this excerpt.

90% of runners in a marathon successfully completed it. 30% of these runners were men. How many total runners began the marathon
Semmy [17]

The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = \frac{90}{100} X x

                                                                 = 0.9x

and,

\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270

Solving further:

0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000

Serjik [45]

Answer:

In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:

She even thinks that up in heaven

Her class lies late and snores

While poor black cherubs rise at seven

To do celestial chores.

This poem suggests that white Americans don’t want to help improve the lifestyle of poor African Americans but are comfortable with the minority races serving them forever.

Explanation:

From Plato :)
