Read the excerpt from the decree inscribed on the Rosetta Stone, which appears in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin. and whereas he has directed that impressment for the navy shall no longer be employed; and whereas he provided that cavalry and infantry forces and ships should be sent out against those who invaded Egypt by sea and by land, laying out great sums in money and grain in order that the temples and all those who are in the land might be in safety; in return for which things the gods have given him health, victory, and power, and all other good things, and he and his children shall retain the kingship for all time. How do the details in the excerpt support the central idea that Ptolemy was a great king? They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness. They make a comparison of Ptolemy to other rulers.

Answer:

They provide specific examples of Ptolemy’s greatness.

Explanation:

This excerpt helps us learn a lot about King Ptolemy. It states that he was a fair ruler for stopping the impressment for the navy. Also, he is described as a protector of the country for providing cavalry, infantry and ships as a means of defence against anyone who would atack Egypt by sea or by land. He was said to be generous and kind for his donations to temples and people residing in them.

Basically, this entire excerpt is a list of examples that serve as an evidence for the claim that Ptolemy was a great king and man.

Read this excerpt from Holes.
The shovel felt heavy in Stanley’s soft, fleshy hands. He tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged against the ground and bounced off without making a dent. The vibrations ran up the shaft of the shovel and into Stanley’s wrists, making his bones rattle.
It was still dark. The only light came from the moon and the stars, more stars than Stanley had ever seen before. It seemed he had only just gotten to sleep when Mr. Pendanski came in and woke everyone up.
Using all his might, he brought the shovel back down onto the dry lake bed. The force stung his hands but made no impression on the earth. He wondered if he had a defective shovel. He glanced at Zero, about fifteen feet away, who scooped out a shovelful of dirt and dumped it on a pile that was already almost a foot tall.
Which list shows the narrative structure of this excerpt?
Stanley tries to jam the shovel into the earth, Mr. Pendanski wakes everyone, Stanley thinks his shovel is defective, Stanley sees Zero’s pile of dirt.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAILIEST!!!

PLEASE HELLPPPP The town of Madisonville, Texas was hit by a strong storm in late July. Most of the city lost power for several hours, and damage was severe in parts of the city. The Lakeside Cafe, famous for its misspelled sign saying, “Chicken-Fried Stake,” lost its roof in the storm. Amazingly, no employees or customers were injured. John Paxton, who was eating in the restaurant at the time, said, “They told us there was no way to know if it was a tornado or not. Well, I’ve never seen this kind of damage from anything but a tornado.”
Fallen limbs and downed power lines were also common problems across the city, blocking passage down dozens of streets. Crews worked for days without pause to restore power and to cut and haul away large limbs. With many businesses closed until power could be restored, hundreds of local residents found themselves stuck at home without electricity and therefore without air conditioning. Local woman Sally H. was sitting on her front porch, fanning herself with a shoe catalog. “It’s hot,” she said. “Normally, I would enjoy a day off of work, but this isn’t a normal day off.”
The hospital was able to stay open and powered by electricity generators. Furman Simms, working the front desk, said it seemed almost like a normal day. “We saw more people today than usual,” he explained, “but it wasn’t bad. We never ran out of beds. I expected it to be a lot busier.”The reader can infer that hundreds of Madisonville residents were probably
A.
glad they had generators.
B.
helped haul away tree limbs.
C.
enjoyed not going to work.
D.
not happy to be at home.
