The caption on page 22 says "these stories were often more entertaining than accurate." In other words, travelers sometimes A.Told stories that were not funny, not scary B.Told confusing stories C.Exaggerated or made things up to make their stories more interesting D.Left interesting details out of their stories

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that means travelers sometimes:

C. Exaggerated or made things up to make their stories more interesting.

Explanation:

Let's break the quote down and analyze it:

- these stories were often more entertaining --> for something to be entertaining, it must be interesting enough to keep people engaged.

- than accurate --> accuracy in this case refers to providing real, factual details about events.

If a story is more entertaining than it is accurate, that means the speaker or writer is focusing on making it interesting instead of giving a factual and realistic account of what happened. In other words, a traveler may very well exaggerate or make things up for the sake of entertainment, leaving accuracy behind. That is why letter C is the best option.

Answers

Answer:

Jungles r being destroyed

u can eliminate people while transferring it in to passive

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed { \sf The \ jungle \ is \ being \ destroyed }}[/tex]

Explanation:

In the active voice (the voice the sentence is currently in), the subject performs the verb. It puts the subject in the beginning.

Basically: "the subject does something"

In the passive voice, the subject receives the action from the verb. The subject is placed at the end of the sentence.

Basically: "something is done by the subject"

The sentence is currently: People are destroying the jungle.

To convert it to passive: The jungle is being destroyed by people, or just, the jungle is being destroyed.

Answers

Answer:

Headline;   Community service, is it a waste of time?

Explanation: "Teenagers must do three hours of community service a week in order to teach them organization, manners  and attitude towards work."

There are both pros and cons to community service for teenagers. Individuals need to determine if the benefits out weigh the problems. Community service provides job experience, work ethics, college references,  and can help young people become more social. The community also gains benefits from the work being done.

The draw backs can be that community service takes time away from school work, no payment for work, and can take time away from social activities of a teenager.  This can cause grades to drop and more problems. Community service work is a commitment that one has to be prepared to work towards. If the person fails then they have hurt a group or project.

When deciding to take on community service teens need to figure out what works best for them and the situation they are in. A blanket statement, "Teenagers must do three hours of community service a week in order to teach them organization, manners  and attitude towards work.",  is not true for everyone.    Each person must decide for themselves if it is worth the effort.

Explanation:

The poem this question refers to is a haiku written by Matsuo Basho:

When the winter chrysanthemums go,

there's nothing to write about

but radishes.

The words that reflect the idea of loss here are go and nothing. The winter chrysanthemums are gone (they are what is lost) and there is nothing left (except for radishes).

The mood of the poem can be described as resigned. The poet isn't pleased, but he has accepted that he can't do anything about these circumstances.

Describe the historical context of the role of the Dutch and British in regards to the colonization of South
Africa

Answers

Answer:The initial purpose of the settlement was to provide a rest stop and supply station for trading vessels making the long journey from Europe, around the cape of southern Africa, and on to India and other points eastward.

Explanation:The Dutch colonized many parts of the world -- from America to Asia and Africa to South America; they also occupied many African countries for years. From the 17th century onwards, the Dutch started to colonize many parts of Africa, including Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, Angola, Namibia and Senegal.Increased European encroachment ultimately led to the colonisation and occupation of South Africa by the Dutch. The Cape Colony remained under Dutch rule until 1795 before it fell to the British Crown, before reverting back to Dutch Rule in 1803 and again to British occupation in 1806.
