The correct answers are options B, C and D.

Marco Polo's cultural context are represented first in the quote about the malik of Homuz who had a castle. <em>Malik </em>means <em>king </em>in Arabic, and the Kingdom of Hormuz existed in the Persian Gulf between the 10th and 17th centuries.

Secondly, the cite about ships which made voyages in twenty days also refers to the cultural framework of Polo's time.

Finally, there is a reference to Saracen people, a term used to mention Muslims in the Middle Ages.

How does Michio Kaku develop the idea of an impending scientific revolution in “Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence
motikmotik

by praising the efficiency of modern-day Internet research  doesn't relate to anything regarding "Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence" when it comes to argumentation. Comparing scientific knowledge to grains of sand on a beach  is poetic, but it is no argument either. Proving names of modern scientists and their contributions also shows nothing but the scientists and their contributions themselves. It doesn't work as proof for <em>"an impending scientific revolution".</em>

What Michio Kaku does, as the good scientist that he is, is to show evidence. And he does so "by providing quantitative proof of recent scientific progress"

algol13

Answer:

The correct answer is Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Explanation:

The ambulance members were trying not to be seen by any person when they were going to the monkey house. That's why they wore camouflaged suits, and no member of the ambulance wore the suit they should be wearing.

They even parked in the backyard of the house to avoid being seen.

All this is evidence that they wanted to hide the truth from the public.

Crank

D. What if we come back to that after we discuss the author's perspective?

Explanation:

Which scenario is an example of understatement?
8_murik_8 [283]

The answer is C: A teacher assigns a 10 page research project and says, "this might take a little time".

An understatement is a statement that underplays the significance, value, size, relevance or importance of something and it makes it seem considerable less than what it actually is. In this example, the teacher makes it seem like writing a 10 page essay will take just “a little time”, when in fact, any student knows that a 10 page essay in a considerable enterprise that will take a lot more than just a little time.
