C. Dozens of Spartan warriors held off the entire Persian army for three days.
D. A Greek navy led by Themistocles trapped and destroyed the Persian navy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C-Dozens of Spartan warriors held off the entire Persian army for three days.

Explanation:

Battle of Thermopylae became legendary among the Greeks.  Three hundred Spartan warriors set up defenses in the mountain pass.  A sheer cliff protected their left, and the sea was on their right.  They held off the Persians for three days.  The Persians went on to burn Athens

Answer 2

The Battle of Thermopylae became legendary because dozens of Spartan warriors held off the entire Persian army for three days. Hence, Option C is correct.

What was the Battle of Thermopylae?

Thermopylae was fought between a coalition of Greek city-states commanded by Sparta under Leonidas I and the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Xerxes I.

It lasted for three days and was one of the most notable conflicts of the larger Greco-Persian Wars as well as the second Persian invasion of Greece. Greek soldiers commanded by King Leonidas of Sparta were defeated by a Persian army under Xerxes I in the Battle of Thermopylae

Between July and September, Battle of Thermopylae took place at the same time as the Battle of Artemisium. The first Persian invasion, led by Darius I and unsuccessfully countered by an Athenian-led Greek victory at the Battle of Marathon, was followed by a second invasion by the Persians under Xerxes I.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

What is the “Out of Africa” Theory?

It calculates that human migration from Africa began 10,000 to 20,000 years ago.
It calculates humans evolved to bipedal hominids around 10,000 years ago.
It calculates humans evolved to bipedal hominids around 50,000 years ago.
It calculates that human migration from Africa began 60,000 to 90,000 years ago.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Out of Africa, the theory is a well-substantiated theory which explains that modern Homo sapiens descended from the small group in Africa.

The theory suggests that homo sapiens dispersed from Africa around 50,000 to 90,000 years ago and displaced the earlier species of Homo like Denisovans and Neanderthals.

This theory is supported by the evidence and is considered the widely accepted theory explaining the evolution of humans.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

What are examples of legalism still in china today?

Answers

Answer:

Yes legalism is still around.  It is seen today in China in many different aspects.  An example of how it is still seen today is that when my parents were living in China they witnessed executions and other harsh punishments being placed on individuals.  Legalism today is not the same as it once was as it has changed over the years.

Legalism is seen, to a lesser extent to what it once was, however in China the philosophy  of legalism still exists in their governmental structure, political system and judicial systems.  The government still inflicts judgement and punishment as it was in previous years however they do not hold as harsh of consequences as they once did.

For us living in the western world it is easy for us to look in and identify legalism within Chinese systems however for people living in China it is harder for them to see it at the same extent because this is what they have grown to know and they do not know other ways.  Most Chinese citizens have limited access to outside information to compare their systems to other countries.

In China, you can still see the effects of legalism by the way we see how they respond to crimes.  For example some of the punishment is stricter than we see in North America.   Also, you can see the effects of legalism in China by the way the people respond to the government.  Generally citizens in China fear the government because of the consequences that would be initiated if they disobey.  For example when the students stood up against the government in Tianamen Square in 1989, the students were seen as rebels and attacked by the military, killed, thrown in prison and several had to flee the country.

Legalism is still prevalent today as seen through these examples that we have shared although it is not to the same extent as it was when it was first created in the warring states period.

And this is the correct answer:

bar graph.

pie chart.

table.

Explanation:

A bar graph can show the world population of the six regions very well, by showcasing, in a vertical manner, the proportion of the population of each region in relation to the other regions.

The same is true for a pie chart, but in this case, the proportion would be shown as a section of a circle, the largest sections corresponding to the most populated regions, and the smallest to the least populated regions.

Finally, a table would not show the relative proportions in a graphical manner, but can be used to deliver the information in a clear, accurate and numerical manner.

Jesús vino darse como un sacrificio para todas las naciones.  Este mensaje fue anunciado al principio de la historia humana, escrito con una signatura divina en el sacrificio de Abraham y en el sacrificio de la Pascua, con más detalles predichos en varias profecías en el Antiguo Testamento.  ¿Por qué era su muerte tan importante que él merecía tanta importancia?  Eso es una pregunta digna de la consideración.  La Biblia declara algo como una ley cuando indica:

Porque la paga del pecado es muerte… (Romanos 6:23)

“Muerte” literalmente significa ‘separación´.  Cuando nuestra alma se separa de nuestro cuerpo morimos físicamente.  De una manera similar somos separados de Dios espiritualmente.  Esto es verdad porque el Dios es Santo (sin pecado) mientras hemos llegado a ser corrompidos desde nuestra creación original y entonces pecamos.

Read the letter from Mary S. Paul, a Lowell mills worker.

21 Dec. 1845

Dear Father

I received your letter on Thursday the 14th with much pleasure. I am well which one comfort is. My life and health are spared while others are cut off. Last Thursday one girl fell down and broke her neck, which caused instant death. She was going in or coming out of the mill and fell down it being very icy. Last Tuesday we were paid. In all I had six dollars and sixty cents paid $4.68 for board. With the rest I got me a pair of rubbers and a pair of 50.cts shoes. Perhaps you would like something about our regulations about going in and coming out of the mill. At half past six [the bell] rings for the girls to get up and at seven they are called to the mill. At half past 12 we have dinner are called back again at one and stay till half past seven. I get along very well with my work. I can doff as fast as any girl in our room. If any girl wants employment I advise them to come to Lowell.

Why did factories want to employ women like Mary S. Paul?

They were a source of cheap labor.
They required little moral guidance.
They were more skilled.
They did not complain.

Answers

Answer:

They were a source of cheap labor

Explanation:

I did the test, got it right

They were a source of cheap labor did factories want to employ women like Mary S. Paul. Hence, option A is correct.

Who was Mary S. Paul?

Mary Paul was one of the few young, single women who resided in Red Bank's North American Phalanx, a middle-class utopian community. The community was established in 1843 on the principles of Charles Fourier by Associationist Rebecca Buffum Spring and her husband Marcus Spring.

The majority of textile workers put in between 12 and 14 hours a day, plus an additional half-day on Saturdays; Sunday being the sole day off for the mills. The majority of mill girls took time off to travel home over a portion of the summer, although they often worked nine to ten months of the year.

The True Story of Mary: Who Wanted To Stand On Her Head, a children's chapter book by Jane Godwin, was released in 2005.

Thus, option A is correct.
