Demosthenes doesn't need the Athenians to decline to do anything that they ought to do or depend on their well being to the hands of others that could be their adversary. To him, it's an indication of weakness. The appropriate response is Demosthenes cautions Athenians not to be innocent and to be set up for any conditions.

The Tempest, Lines 9-19: Based on the exchange between the boatswain and passengers in these lines, infer how the boatswain feel

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The Tempest written by Wiilliam Shakespeare and first performed in 1611, is the story of an exiled ruler.

Explanation:

In Act I, Scene i, we are introduced with the character "Boatswain" a commoner and the noble characters, whose names are not mentioned but introduced later in the play. The story begins with the characters stuck in the middle of the raging storm. Boatswain and his crew, in the lines 9-19 are trying to save the ship and commands the nobles to go under-deck.

"ALONSO

Good Boatswain, have care. Where’s the Master?

Play the men

BOATSWAIN

I pray now, keep below."

The nobles get offended by the rudeness of the commoner "Boatswain."

GONZALO

Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.

Boatswain's main motive is to save the ship regardless of who his passengers are.

"BOATSWAIN

None that I more love than myself. You are a councilor. If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more. Use your authority. If you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap.—Cheerly, good hearts!—Out of our way, I say."

Vero puts the probe of her DMM across two terminals to check the voltage. She notices the reading is less than zero. What's happ

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

You really like to squeeze all you can out of your points, don't you !

This question should really be reported for being too complex. But I'm such a nerd for electrical stuff, I'm gonna answer it anyway.

12 ohms (C)

7.55 ohms (B)

Vero has the probes of her DMM swapped. (D)

Resistance (D)

Tolerance (C)

70 ohms (D)

The meter will read zero ohms. (D)

0.06 A (60 mA) (C)

4,000 watts (A)

High-current power transformer (A)

W / I² (B)

Continuity test (C). She should do the short circuit test too (A). If the motor winding failed because it melted into a blob of copper during a few seconds of extreme over-current, it would pass a Continuity test just fine and Jen would not know that it had failed.

Personally, I use a high-voltage probe when I'm measuring ANY voltage. I've been zapped. No, I mean I've been zapped GOOD ! I'm an Electrical Engineer, so I know enough to be afraid of the stuff.

1A of current flows due to an applied voltage of 1V. (C)

Step the voltage down and read the stepped-down voltage, multiplying it by the step factor. (D)

The circuit is most likely energized ... the wrong way to measure a resistor in a circuit, and you can easily damage your meter by doing that. (C)

It's also possible that the resistor might have taken an extreme zap and permanently changed its value. (That could be one reason why you're measuring it.) (D)

If I don't get a 'Brainliest' for this one, then there's no justice in the world.

As a little extra side-problem in Math, I just wanna mention that my efforts have been rewarded with a generous bounty of 0.3125 Brainly point per answer. Shame on me !

Write two to three sentences explaining how the image reinforces the text

Ludmilka [50]

When answer questions like this, it is important to think about what you are visualizing while reading the text. This should help with your explanation. To reinforce means to "back up or prove" with evidence. For example, how would a picture of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exhibit in Washington D.C. reinforce the speech he gave? The picture proves that the speech as well as Dr. King himself were a powerful presence to all. He was so important to the change of Civil Rights in our country that the monument is a testament to that change.
