In the 1400s, Spain and Portugal were competing to explore down the coast of Africa and find a sea route to Asia. That way, they

could have the prized Asian spices they wanted without having to pay high prices to Venetian and Muslim middlemen. Spanish and Portuguese sailors searching for that sea route conquered the Canary Islands and the Azores. Soon they began building Muslim-style sugar plantations on the islands, some of them staffed by slaves purchased from nearby Africa. One sailor came to know these islands particularly well because he traded in "white gold"—sugar. And then, as he set off on his second voyage across the sea to what he thought was Asia, he carried sugar cane plants from Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, with him on his ship. His name was Christopher Columbus. How do the details in the passage most support the central idea? The details emphasize Christopher Columbus’s role in spreading sugar to the New World. The details explain how Venetian and Muslim middlemen were able to control the sugar trade. The details compare Spanish and Portuguese sugar plantations to those of Muslim farmers. The details describe how Spanish and Portuguese explorations helped expand the sugar trade.

Should Katniss have intervened when the girl was taken by the hovercraft? Why or why no?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Katniss should not intervene when the girl is taken. Think of it this way; if Katniss had intervened, would she have survived? Or would there have been more than one casualty? Acknowledging that the morally sound answer would be yes, we should consider the logical information that Katniss more than likely wouldn't have made it out of that situation in one piece. The capitol is very aggressive and would not hesitate to execute Katniss for rebelling.

Urgent!!! WHOEVER ANSWERS ALL 3 FIRST GETS BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!
klemol [59]

Answer:

The correct answers are the following

1. B - [S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.

2. A - I took one companion on my journey - an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.

3. D - To enterain people with the unusual sights.

Explanation:

One of the problems noted by John Steinbeck during his roadtrip was precisely that his fame made it almost impossible to move about and to know America at a personal level because he was widely recognized.

Steinbeck travelled with Charley, his wife's 10-year-old French poodle, which he decided to bring with him at the last minute.

In this travelogue, Steinbeck provides descriptions of gorgeous landscapes of America, the country he devoted to know on a personal level. The use of these descriptive elements presents the reader with an unusual sight that keeps him or her engaged with the book.

An Open Boat by Alfred Noyes See - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
 The cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
 The literary device used in these lines is personification to give the foam a human quality.

Through the characterization of sea as humanistic, animalistic and deistic, Crane profoundly believes that the sea is indifferent to human’s plight. Narrator describes the development of sea as earlier it “snarls, hisses, and bucks like a bronco” and later it purely “paces to and fro,”. This depicts that the sea can be both hurtful and helpful, sea doesn’t change its motivation in the light of men’s struggle nor it can be understood.

Summarize the short story, "Throught the Tunnel"? PLEASE HELP!!!
dimulka [17.4K]
The correct answer is C. Jerry challenges himself for more.

Being a young boy, he has felt for a long time as if he was in charge of his mother and vice versa. Both of them are overprotective. Jerry seeks independence, yet he is afraid of abandoning his widowed mother. When he separates from her to go to another beach, he feels as if he was betraying her. But his urge to go his own way is stronger. True, he feels the peer pressure of those boys, and is afraid of not being able to beat the challenge they posed for him. But his real, deep and intimate urge is to challenge himself, and not compete with them. When he dives through that tunnel under the sea, he risks his life. But he doesn't give up, as that venture is his own, and he wants to experience it. Once he beat that challenge, he goes back to his mother, calm and serene, and doesn't even feel a need to tell her about it. He is more mature and independent now than he was at the beginning of the story.
