7 0

Gandhi was known to be a political and a spiritual leader. Being someone to look up to, he had set himself as an example of childmarriage. Yes, he himself wrote his narrative on marriage with bitter regards of the past. He somehow blamed his father for making him marry early. He in fact stated how his early years could have dictated his life if had it not been for the death of the two girls chosen for him.

He clearly stated the difference between betrothed and marriage. The first being a preliminary promise to the parents of the girl and the boy that their child would be together. He claimed to be betrothed thrice and seven was his age on the final betrothment. The second, which is marriage, is having consent with both parties. He married early at the age of thirteen which for him was not appropriate.

In the end, he was very much concerned of how this will affect the persons involved within the relationship. He was after the health issue of young girls unfit to bear a child at a younger age and infants dying after delivery.

She was young yet carried herself with great confidence, and her clear eyes locked onto mine and oozed kindness.

This is the best choice because it describes Dr. Perez in a way that would explain why Rachel was no longer anxious about her dental visit. Earlier in the passage, Rachel describes her previous dentist as being nice, which seems to be the quality she liked most. This is a quality that she would value in her new dentist. In the additional sentence, she describes Dr. Perez as oozing kindness. Her reassuring eye contact and confident movements also provide comfort to Rachel.

Read the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in The Evolution of Useful Things.

Len [333]

Answer:

Hi! The correct order of the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in The Evolution of Useful Things is: 3,4,1,2. The correct answer is the third one.

Explanation:

I chose the third option (3,4,1,2) because, according to the text, the chronological order for the things that led Art Fry's creation are:

Spencer Silver came upon a curious adhesive that he demonstrated to Fry.
Fry reflected on the failure of bookmarks to do all that might be expected of them.
Fry spent nearly a year and a half experimenting.
Fry's idea was accepted as being commercially viable.

Besides the way in which these events were described by the author, and if you think about it, it is pretty logical the way this happened. Usually, we come up with ideas when we are complaining about the lack of a thing that would be useful in certain moments. If you think about it, this is also what happened here. The last step of the process is always the commercial viability just as in this case.
