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. Select a possible theme of the myth. Gold is a symbol of wealth and authority. Greed can result in negative consequences. People who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish. Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.

Answers

people walking on the shoulder without a paved sidewalk should walk facing traffic.

Answers

Yessir idk what to say here cause it has to be 20 characters

Face oncoming is the correct answer because when walking along the side of the road and there is no sidewalk or footpath, we should walk on the one edge of the road opposite the direction in which the vehicle is traveling.

Otherwise, walking in the other direction of the road increases the risk of a head-on collision.

Therefore, If there isn't a sidewalk available where you're walking, walk on the opposite side of the road, facing oncoming traffic.

That means you should walk on the left side of the road, for example, if cars drive on the right side of the road, as they do in North America.

The girl stared at the boy from across the classroom. Who was he? Why did he always act in such a manner? His mouth was always moulded into a frown yet he still had that same twinkle in his eyes. She couldnt help but wonder about his personal life. Did he have family? Was he always alone? Without thinking, she stood up and walked over to the boy. The teacher looked up from her paperwork, locking her eyebrows in a downwards direction. The teacher pointed her finger at the girl. ''Sit down, young lady,'' she said calmy, but still having that same, angry expression. The girl ignored her, whereas everyone else in the classroom turned their heads to the back of the classroom, and stared at the girl and the boy - the wonder kids.

The girl sat next to the boy, on the empty plastic chair beside him. He was always by himself at school - was people being kind to him? ''I will work with him, for the project, miss.'' said the girl quietly. The teacher nodded and then began looking back at the pile of filled test worksheets on her desk. ''Who are you?'' she said. Still, the boy stayed quiet. ''Tell me!'' she yelled, banging her hands down on the table. The young girl, being humble, wanted nothing more than never being the centre of attention - but now she was getting it. She went bright red with emmbaresment. ''Sorry...'' she mumbled. ''But please answer my question. Who are you?!'' The boy looked up. ''I'm you're brother',

If scientist want to determine similarities in the DNA in a fragments several plant species,they should

Answers

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

add salt water to cells from each plant  

compare seed structures of the plants

analyze electrophoresis results  

examine their chromosomes with a microscope

Answer:

analyze electrophoresis results  

Explanation:

Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique widely used in molecular and cell biology. it has as main objective, to allow the analysis of proteins and nucleic acids, making it totally possible that it is used to determine similarities in DNA in a fragment of several species of plants. For this reason, we can say that the correct answer to your question is "analyze electrophoresis results"

Electrophoresis promotes the charging of analyzed particles through the influence of electrostatic forces established by electrodes of opposite electrical charges. It is precisely this carrying of molecules that allows relationships of similarity and differences between them to be analyzed.

Answer:

The first thing to take into account is the fact that Jeff Bezos was indeed aided by the free enterprise system that we have in the United States.

He managed to reach the top with Amazon, because in this system, companies that are more competitive take advantage over the rest.

The essay should first explain how Jeff Bezos was helped by the free enterprise system, it later should give some specific examples taken from the experience of his companies (particularly Amazon), and finally, it should draw a conclusion about whether the free enterprise system is desirable or not.

What is speech?

Speech communication is the use of the oral medium by a speaker to communicate information to an audience, whether formally or informally. The information might be a speaker's manner of making a point, constructing an argument, or eliciting emotions in the audience.

Speech is made up of the sounds in a language and is one of the primary ways we communicate with others.

Passion lends intensity and a special type of alchemy to each feeling we have, emphasizing its emotional resonance in us. Passion is felt, and the experience unfolds through our senses rather than our reasoning intellect. Passion may cause us to feel both enormous pleasure and great anguish. Hence, option 1st is correct.
