“Desperate gambling on the Stock Exchange, wild speculation and the excitability which he could not get over even in advancing years, had by degrees led to the decline of his fortune and the proud, fearless, self-confident millionaire had become a banker of middling rank, trembling at every rise and fall in his investments.” ( Paragraph 22)

Answers

Answer:

The fact that he placed his awards on a triangular scrap suggests that he no longer placed much value on them

Explanation:

Shamengwa is a fiddle (or a violin player) who is partially challenged in one arm. He is described as an old man, a granduncle who has had his fair share of years.

Though he and his music are popular because they are emotive, the narrator states that he is seldom invited to popular jigs. His music was doubled-edged.   It made people happy as much as it made them cry. Because of this, he wasn't wanted at every party. Parties were for dancing and happiness. He had a maverick way of expressing his soul through the violin.

His popularity has earned him a reasonable amount of awards, the kinds that were more Class B in nature. His awards meant little to him. To him, they were relics of the past. He'd rather have his grandniece play with them than have them properly kept or taken care of.

4. If only we had gone to the party yesterday.

5. You'll be able to contact her any time in case you need her help.

Explanation:

1. If you happened to go to the shops, could you buy me some toothpaste?

In this sentence, "happened" is used to mean the same intention of asking for help.

2. They'll return his money as long as he has the original receipt.

The use of the phrase "as long as" presents a valid reason for why or how the refund will be given, which is the same as "but only if".

3. We won't be able to go to Paris unless we have enough money.

"Unless" is and can be used to mean the same as "if" for it presents a condition for a successful 'action/result'.

4. If only we had gone to the party yesterday.

Using "if only" in the sentence presents the same feeling of regret in "what a shame".

5. You'll be able to contact her any time in case you need her help.

The use of the phrase "in case" presents the same intention of a need and replaced the word "because".

thesis for the earth on the turtles back

Answers

Answer:             "The World on the Turtle's Back". This Native American story is a creation myth about two brothers who helped create humans, animals, and all other earth inhabitants. Creation myths are often defined as stories which explain how life and the universe began. In this excerpt, twins were born from their mother who then died during birth. The twins buried their mother, where she grew corn, beans, and squash. "And from her grave grew the plants which the people still use." (Page 28) The twins had tension between them and the right-handed twin was inferior to the other. "The right-handed twin was the one who did everything just as he should." (Page28) He always tried to do what was right. As for the left-handed twin, the "devious" one, he "never said what he meant or meant what he said", (Page 28) he was always lying and doing things he shouldn't be doing. The twins created balance though, which is what the world needs to sustain life. The Indians called them "the straight mind and the crooked mind". (Page 28) With their special powers and ability, the brothers created animals from Clay and brought them to life. "The right-handed twin made the deer, and the left-handed twin made the mountain lion which kills the deer. But the right-handed twin there would always be more deer than mountain lions." (Page 30) The brothers then made more animals, and the right-handed twin created all delicious fruit and berries for the animals he had created, but the left-handed twin made poisonous plants and roots, as well as medicines "for good and for evil". (Page 30) The right-handed twin also created man, his "favorite creatures." (Page 30) Due to the tension building between the two brothers, they decided to battle one another in a lacrosse match, a Native American game played by two teams. The twins played vigorously all day and "the game was done. And neither had won.

He abandoned his efforts to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone.
He traveled to Egypt and shared his findings with other researchers.
He published his findings and sought a new area of research to explore.

Answers

Answer:

A). He continued his work to decipher more hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone.

Explanation:

As per the descriptions provided in 'The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone,' the most reasonable prediction regarding Jean-François Champollion would be that 'he pursued his work to unravel more hieroglyphs on the Rosetta stone.' Eventually, he made progress in the upcoming years and prospered in identifying several phonetic hierogylphics signs which are employed in royal foreign names. He applied these signs later to the cartouches names discovered on the Rosetta stone. This cross-referencing technique helped him in developing a functioning hierogylphic alphabet. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Provide a real life situation that supports your claim. can someone please rewrite this so I won't get marked for plagiarism? The question is "Why would it be beneficial to pay a little more than the required mortgage payment?"The answer is: Paying extra on your mortgage means that you make additional payments to your principal loan balance beyond your regular payments. For example, if you pay $1,300 per month normally, you may pay an extra $200 to the principal for a total payment of $1,500. Or if you get a bit of money, say a $5,000 tax refund, you could apply it to your principal loan balance. The faster you pay off your mortgage, the less you will pay in interest, reducing your overall loan cost. However, this option should be considered in the context of your larger financial situation.How much will you save by making extra payments?The amount you can save by making extra mortgage payments is one of the first things you need to figure out as that number will enable you to compare it to other options. Lets take a look at how much you could save on interest over the life of a 30-year, $200,000 loan with a 3.5% interest rate if you paid $50, $100 and $250 extra each month. Just paying an extra $50 per month will shave 2 years and 7 months off the loan and will save you over $12,000 in the long run. If you can up your payments by $250, the savings increase to over $40,000 while the loan term gets cut down by almost a third.The savings can be substantial. Use a mortgage calculator to figure out your estimated savings. Then, compare that to the savings or returns you can get by investing the same money elsewhere.Ways to prepay your mortgagePay more every monthThe first option is to analyze your budget and see if you can afford to increase the amount you pay on your mortgage each month. Even if you can only commit to $25 or $50, it can save you thousands over the course of the loan.Make an extra payment each year Another option is to make one extra payment each year that is equal to your normal payment amount. This can be a good option if you get a bonus or tax refund each year.Make a lump-sum paymentSometimes situations come about which leave people with a lump sum of money, like receiving an inheritance. While exciting, it can also be stressful because you want to use the money wisely. Using lump sums to pay down your mortgage helps to reduce your interest and increase equity faster, which is a helpful investment. It can also ensure that the money is invested rather than spent.Mix it up You can also use a combination of these approaches, such as paying a little bit more each month and then making a larger one-time payment when you can.The right payment strategy for you will depend on your financial situation. For example, if your budget is tight and you cant commit to paying more every month but have certain months when your income is higher, you can commit to making an extra payment during those months. Alternatively, if you dont receive any income boosts throughout the year but have a little bit of disposable income each month, the monthly payment option will be a better fit.When not to pay extraPaying extra on your mortgage can be helpful but it isnt always the best use of your money.Whether you should pay extra on your mortgage or not depends on the rest of your financial picture. If you have credit card debt, an expensive car loan, or other high-interest debt, youll want to pay that down before making extra payments on your mortgage, Matthew McEwan, VP of real estate development and property management firm Medallion Capital Group, said.Additionally, if you are a savvy investor who can tolerate some risk, you may be able to achieve a higher rate of return by investing that money instead, McEwan said.What to do before paying off your loan earlyBefore you pay off your mortgage early, there are a few things you should do. For one thing, youll want to meet all of your regular necessary expenses (rent, food, clothing, etc.). Next, ensure you pay off any debts you have with interest rates that are higher than the interest rate on your mortgage. For example, if you have a $5,000 balance on a credit card with an 18% APR and your mortgage has a 4% APR, youll save more by paying down the credit card first.Its also recommended to make sure that you have an emergency savings account that is equal to at least three months of pay, and preferably six. Moreover, confirm that you and your dependents are enrolled in the insurance policies you need to protect yourselves in the future. This often includes health, property, auto, disability and life policies.If you have an employer offer to match your retirement savings up to a certain percentage, max out the company contributions.
