Summarize the major developments in Europe that enabled the Age of Exploration
Answer:
Europe went through several major developments in the centuries prior the start of the Age of Exploration.
Besides the obvious developments in shipbuilding and navigation, other important developments were in the political arena. For example, Portugal, the first European country to engage in the Age of Exploration, could devote resources to do so because it had a relatively secured border.
Another important development is banking. Banking emerged in the late middle ages, in Italy. Banking allowed higher levels of capital accumulation that could finance the expensive trips that were required to explore new lands.

how is time measured
Answer:
The measurement of time began with the invention of sundials in ancient Egypt some time prior to 1500 B.C. However, the time the Egyptians measured was not the same as the time today's clocks measure. For the Egyptians, and indeed for a further three millennia, the basic unit of time was the period of daylight.
Explanation:
Since 1967, the International System of Measurements bases its unit of time, the second, on the properties of caesium atoms. SI defines the second as 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation that corresponds to the transition between two electron spin energy levels of the ground state of the 133Cs atom.

what are three things the Continental Army did very successfully during the American Revolution and explain how they use these advantages to defeat Great Britain
Answer:The British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain.

Take a stance. Was the Neolithic Revolution bad or good for humankind.
2-3 Reasons why and an explanation of why that is important.
2 Reasons with explanation will get you a max of 85
3 Reasons with explanation will get you a max of 100
I am not concerend with spelling and grammar, but do your best and run spell check if you are using Word.
Do not quote, use your own words, but you may pull from the document we read and the podcast.
Answer:
The Neolithic revolution was, without a doubt, a good event for humankind.
The first reason is that it led to the development of civilization of cities, the divison of labor, the increase in the complexity in our economic and social systems, and so on. The Neolithic revolution was truly the first stepping stone for all the technology that we have today.
The second reason is that, in purely evolutionary terms, it helped our species become the most abundant and dominant species in the globe. Without agriculture, we could not sustain as much population as we have nowadays.

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question. 01.05 MC Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the text for reference, the question, and also the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.
The question was "Select a possible theme of the myth."
The answer would be: Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.
The summary of the story is that Silenus was missing and Bacchus was looking for him. King Midas found him and treated really well and got him back to Bacchus. As a thank you gift, Bacchus gave the King the option to choose a skill. Midas chose to convert into gold everything he touched.
He got it. However, literally, everything he touched turned into gold, including food, wine, and water. He soon realized that he was a bot to starve and went to visit Bacchus to help him and override the "skill."
That is why the moral of the story is that better have good friends and enjoy life than to amaze richness.
Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.
[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.
[2] On the eleventh day, he brought Silenus back and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.
[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.
[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.
Answer: people who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish
Why: y
Explantion: Well Midas took care of the man then instantly told him the wish
(if its wrong its wishes are sometimes better to not come true as the others dont make since)

Answer:
Is it enough?
They dragged us from home
Tied and fastened
Most of us fainted along the way
But that was not enough.
Suppressed and oppressed us
Offended and multiplied
We were denied our language, our religion and our freedom
But that was not enough.
They have enriched our expense
They built great empires, commerce and prisperity
We are left with only prejudice, racism and aggression
But that was not enough.
We are still rejected today
Our descendants have a false freedom
They reap the fruits of imposition, colonialism, violence and domination
And that is still not enough.
