After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained i

t again. The cane juice was now poured into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for the “whitest and purest” sugar.

The correct answer is D) The details describe the extensive and repetitive process necessary to create white sugar.

<em>The details in the passage support the following central idea: The details describe the extensive and repetitive process necessary to create white sugar.</em>

This wife and husband Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos wrote the book "Sugar Changed the World" and share how through history, sugar has been very important for humans since ancient civilizations, from Egypt to Europe in the MIddle ages, to South America.  

In this excerpt of their book, the authors describe the complex details in the work of the Egyptians to create the "whitest and purest sugar." That was a long, repetitive, and tiring process to finally have the product ready to consume or trade.

Liula [17]

Answer: Sam's body language does not show engagement.

Listening skils are important, as they convey to the speaker that we are paying attention, undertanding the information, and thinking about it. It is also a respectful thing to do, as it shows the speaker that we value his time. In this example, Sam is listening, understanding and thinking about the information. However, his body language conveys disinterest. Therefore, the speaker is likely to think he is not interested in what is being said.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Delvig [45]

The answer is:

Machiavelli forces readers to carefully consider the meanings of the words merciful and mercy.

In the passage from "The Prince," the author Niccolò Machiavelli mentions the words mercy and merciful intending to make readers contemplate their meanings with special circumspection. Thus, <em>mercy </em>is compassion towards somebody one can hurt or punish, and <em>merciful </em>means benevolent. In that respect, Machiavelli suggests that an unsympathetic ruler can preserve power rather than a compassionate one.

Hamlet says, "Denmark’s a prison.” Write two to three sentences in which you identify the type of figurative language Hamlet use
Alex_Xolod [135]

When he says "Denmark's a prison", Hamlet is using a metaphor. A metaphor is a word or expression that means something different from their literal meaning. This figurative language is telling us that, like a person who is in prison, Hamlet also feels as if he were trapped and watched the whole time.

Two other sentences that are using figurative language as well, are the following:

"<u>To be or not to be</u>", is a parallel structure, that is, when we are using the same pattern of words, to show that those words or ideas bear the same importance.

"<u>Despised love</u>", is an oxymoron, which is a kind of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.

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.
