Answer:

to inform readers by describing the river and cities on the route

Explanation:

In the passage from "The Middle East," Marco Polo provides a description of the route from Baghdad to Kais taken in eighteen days by merchants travelling to India. Therefore, he mentions the river followed by travellers to Kais, as well as the woods in the city of Basra with the best dates in the world.

“Boston Navy Yard and the ‘Great War,’ 1914-1918”\”
valentinak56 [21]

Roosevelt had big plans in relation to the military power that the USA would have because of that, he decided to empower the American navy, providing resources and technologies, to expand and modernize it, as the text says. However, he stated that the reason for investing in the navy was protection in the country, not involvement in the conflict between European countries as we can see from the excerpt "Just after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would remain neutral. It would become the job of the Navy to protect the nation's neutrality at sea and at home by stationing destroyers in the Boston Navy Yard. "

However, the conflict was too great to keep the country neutral. At one point, in the name of freedom and in order to suppress Germany's injustices and barbarities, the United States decided to declare war on Germany. At that time, a large number of workers (including women, according to the text) were needed to reinforce the available resources for the war, in addition, this moment established the time to put the American navy in direct conflict and use all its modernity and structure against enemies.

Even without remaining neutral, Roosevelt concluded his desire to use the Boston Navy Yard to protect the country, as it was paramount in defense at the military level. In addition, it promoted international well-being. According to the text "the Navy department selected the Boston Navy Yard for the construction of the first ship specifically built to transport supplies and provisions for refueling the fleet abroad."

This established the United States as a major world power, as well as showing the entire world how to avoid US enmity>

Tamiku [17]

Answer: B) The rhyming words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by William Butler Yeats we can see the rhyme pattern ABAB (the words from the lines 1 and 3: "fate" and "hate" rhyme, as well as the words "above" and "love" from the lines 2 and 4). The rhyming of the words "fate" and "hate" connect the pilot's fate to his emotions, so the correct answer is the corresponding to option B.

Which claims are best supported by reasons and relevant evidence? Select two options. Children’s rooms are their own, and parent
ikadub [295]

The two claims that are best supported by reasons and relevant evidence are:

1) Exercising regularly will improve many aspects of one's life. Not only will you sleep better at night, but you will also learn better during the day and feel better in general. Many studies have shown the many benefits of regular exercise, and my doctor agrees with them.

This claim is supported by scientific evidence shown by studies and a professional opinion (although poorly presented).

2) Parents should teach their children financial responsibility early in life. Not only do children have expenses such as meals, snacks, and transportation, but they also need to learn how to realistically budget for their needs according to their income. This is an economic lesson that will prove invaluable when they grow up.

This claim is supported by real factual evidence (the expenses that most children have daily and the undeniable effect that learning this lesson will have in their future) .
