The correct answer is "The image aids readers' understanding of key concepts". A nautical chronometer made by Thomas Earnshaw is now in the British Museum. It was used in the ship that carried Charles Darwin on his voyage around the world as part of the equipment of HMS Beagle. It was not the first chronometers, but it was the first lower-cost chronometers.  It was brass and it was around the size of a large pocket watch.

How does the story "Prince Louie" show the influence of the biblical story of Samson? In both stories, a strong hero loses his s
puteri [66]

Answer:

In both stories, a strong hero loses his strength through the treachery of his wife, who is an enemy spy.

Explanation:

In the biblical story of Samson,his mother is instructed by God at his birth never to shave a hair from his head and he would have super strength to achieve what mere men could not achieve.

True to the words of God, Samson grew up having great strength because his hair was never shaved. He fell in love and married Delilah a Philistine who was sent to spy on him and discover the secret of his great strength so he can be subdued. Samson tells her his secret and he is subdued by his enemies.

In the story <em>Prince Louie, </em>when Louie was only just a child, his mother tells him that soon he would become King Louis of Forbush and she gave him a ring and asked him to wear it at all times and he would succeed in his royal duties.

Just as his mother said, he grew up to become a successful king, banishing his enemies and the kingdom having peace. He fell in love and married Anabellla of Gnarltree who unknown to him was a spy sent to find out the secret of his power. King Louis told her his secret was the ring and sge got the ring off and his kingdom was invaded.

Answer:

The idea unsupported by the author's main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments is Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity  adapted from the National Park Service  paved the way for  theories about  electricity.

Explanation:

The Statement that Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired  study its properties is true because he started studying the properties of electricity in 1746 and devoted more time to it after retiring in 1788. He conducted his famous kite experiment in June 1752. Also, the statement that he never patented any of his inventions is also true and is supported by authors arguments. Franklin's influence in the early history of the United States has led people to call him "the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States". He is largely self educated because though he attended the school he did not graduate, but continued his education through voracious reading.
