1 answer:

8 0

The most common weapon of the Aztec was the spears that were known to pierce Spanish armor and were sharp enough that warriors could use them to shave. Another name for their spears was, tepoztopilli. Aztec warriors also used bows & arrows, darts, clubs as well. The Spanish used allies they had made by force or persuasion. The fact that Moctezuma believed Cortés to be a reincarnated god also helped with aiding the Spanish in entering Tenochtitlan. The Spanish uses guns, swords, and cannons as their weapons in the fight against the Aztec but, their greatest weapon proved to be the Small pox virus which they brought to the new world from Europe. Since small pox had been around for a while in Europe, most Europeans had developed and immunity to it but still carried the virus. The Aztecs had never been exposed to the virus so within a number of weeks, a large percent of the Aztec population had been wiped out by the virus.

What line from the text provides the strongest evidence

Yuliya22 [10]

The best and strongest of evidence to the argument given by the author from the text is in the lines that "They would capture the government ... then... reconquer Germany's lost land"

Answer : Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The capturing of the government and then stating about its reconquering the lost land of Germany substantiates the argument presented by the author. Author arguments about Hitler's move in the shortest and strangest life of the character.

The invasion of Russia is considered to be the tipping iceberg of the melting Glacier as Hitler's dream of world invasion was curbed down by the invasion of Russia. This alone signalled the defeat of Nazis in the World as Germany. therefore, the argument is vivid.

4. "Justice seldom enters into the adjustment of wages: necessity is the standard by which they are regulated." (Paragraph 2) Ho

german

Answer:

necessitate the conditions of both the employers and labors.

Explanation:

In the article "The Plea for Eight Hours" by Terence V. Powderly, the writer stresses on the need to educate the labors to understand the reasons why their working hours should be reduced. He says that a labor should work for less hours so that he/she would have time to read and understand what is happening around him/her.

Most employers would disagree to shorter hours of work by bringing different reasons like taxation, interest on borrowed capital, freight charges, etc. However, Powderly says that to get these problems addressed, the employers must unite with the labors.

Thus, the statement "Justice seldom enters into the adjustment of wages: necessity is the standard by which they are regulated." develops the central ideas of the article as the only way to reduce working hours was to necessitate the conditions of both the employers and labors.
